Hunters, Predators and Prey
Inuit hunting traditions are rich in perceptions, practices and stories relating to animals and human beings. The authors examine key figures such as the raven, an animal that has a central place in Inuit culture as a creator and a trickster, and qupirruit, a category consisting of insects and other small life forms. After these non-social and inedible animals, they discuss the dog, the companion of the hunter, and the fellow hunter, the bear, considered to resemble a human being. A discussion of the renewal of whale hunting accompanies the chapters about animals considered ‘prey par excellence’: the caribou, the seals and the whale, symbol of the whole. By giving precedence to Inuit categories such as ‘inua’ (owner) and ‘tarniq’ (shade) over European concepts such as ‘spirit ‘and ‘soul’, the book compares and contrasts human beings and animals to provide a better understanding of human-animal relationships in a hunting society.
Visita al padre
“Visita al Padre” (Besuch bei dem Vater) è un’opera pubblicata in Germania nel 2007, vincitrice del Nestroy-Theatrepreis. Racconta la storia di un giovane, Peter, che finalmente incontra il padre, creduto morto e mai conosciuto prima. L’uomo, Heinrich, un intellettuale maturo che da anni lavora a una traduzione del Paradiso perduto di Milton, vive tra legami ambigui, circondato da sole donne. Una storia che si presenta come un brillante e originale sviluppo del tema edipico, quasi una tragedia. Usando Cechov per raccontare una storia di oggi, Schimmelpfennig ragiona sul concetto di memoria e della mancata “eredità” nel rapporto fra due generazioni. Un autore da conoscere e un testo da non perdere.
