Procida
Procida è una nassa. Una nassa di strade e vicoli inerpicati sul dorso di un frammento di lava che spunta, solitario, dalle acque del Mediterraneo. È una nassa di colori che si mescolano all’odore del mare e al sole che si riflette nel suo specchio. Un mare che, a terra, lentamente scompare dalla vista, escluso allo sguardo da alte mura. Le stesse che, in passato, proteggevano il rientro dei marinai da luoghi lontani e i procidani da pericoli ignoti. Procida è una nassa di voci e di suoni che portano l’eco di memorie antiche. È una nassa di storia e di storie, soprattutto di donne. Sacerdotesse di una terra sospesa tra il sacro e il profano, consumata da riti che scandivano attese e speranze. Procida è l’isola di Graziella, immagine di un Mediterraneo esotico. È l’isola murata, dove i reclusi erano condannati a sospirare al cospetto della libertà incontenibile del mare.
Gesture in Naples and Gesture in Classical Antiquity
It also deals with numerous issues important for any semiotics of gesture, such as the question of the relationship between physical forms and meaning, the problem of how to present a description of the gestural repertoire of a community in a consistent manner, the importance of context for the interpretation of gesture, how gestures may be combined, and how they develop as metaphorical expressions."--Jacket.
The Neapolitan Crèche at the Art Institute of Chicago
The 18th-century Neapolitan crèche at the Art Institute of Chicago, which contains over 200 figures arranged in a panorama of street life, represents the pinnacle of a rich artistic heritage. This luxurious catalogue is the first to study the crèche in the context of art and music history. Essays explore the Neapolitan crèche tradition and examine the design of Chicago's example with reference to other important crèches in Europe and the United States. Entries on individual figures identify the characters and types they represent, as well as their social and historical meaning and religious significance. Other entries address groups of figures, animals, and cultural themes present in the crèche. Together the essays and entries highlight the astonishing realism and potent symbolism of these figures, which range from heavenly angels and the Holy Family around the manger to street vendors and revelers feasting, drinking, and dancing in a tavern.
