Sather Classical Lectures (46) "The ancient Greeks devoted a significant portion of their poetic and artistic energy to exploring themes of death.

cm. 17 x 24, xviii-282 pp. con 12 tavv. f.t. Biblioteca di ?Lares? Il volume nasce da un?esperienza etnografica e storiografica che ha consentito di ricostruire in chiave antropologica le componenti culturali, sociali ed economiche di un paese di confinario valdostano di idioma francoprovenzale. La comunit? ? stata studiata nella sua complessit? in prospettiva diacronica. Gli aspetti normativi e assiologici in rapporto alla vita quotidiana e alla attivit? prevalenti connesse ai vari momenti della sua storia hanno permesso di stabilire il senso e l?intensit? delle mutazioni che hanno segnato il passaggio dalla tradizionale economia agro-pastorale alle fasi successive caratterizzate dall?instaurarsi dell?industria estrattiva e, pi? recentemente, dallo sviluppo turistico e del terziario avanzato. Born from an unusual ethnographical and historiographical experience, this book reconstructs the cultural, social and economic components of a French Provencal border community in Val d?Aosta, from an anthropological point of view. The cultural themes of ordinary life linked to the different stages of this community?s history, enable the reader to grasp the meaning of the alterations that marked the changeover from an agro pastoral economy to the ensuing periods characterised by the mining exploitation on to the more recent development of the tourist industry. 580 gr. xviii-282 p.

Opera esaustiva del demologo calabrese pubblicata in tedesco nel 1914 e rimasta pressoch? sconosciuta agli stessi studiosi di folklore, viene ora per la prima volta ritradotta in italiano.

The exhaustive work of this Calabrian demologist published in German in 1914 and practically unknown even to experts in folklore is translated for the first time back into Italian. The Germanist Berardi?s fluent translation, R?hrich?s penetrating introduction and the special care taken by Bronzini and his assistants in revising and arranging the text confer an up to date aspect to the work making it easier to read and consult. 665 gr. xviii-330 p.
