Ritual Continuity and “Failed Rituals” in a Winter Masquerade in the Italian Alps

Abstract: Alpine winter masquerades, also known as carnival masquerades, may be regarded as one of the most complex phenomena within the field of study of cultural anthropology and folklore. In the Italian alpine chain some of them have been brought to a new life two decades ago after a long period of decline; since then, alpine winter masquerades have been the focus of a great interest by cultural anthropologists, theatre performers and other intellectuals. In some cases bringing a winter masquerade to new life has pro… Show more

“…In light of the ongoing debates about nature and culture, my interests revolve around Alpine areas: I began working in the Western Alpine Chain in 2005, as a parallel research to the one I carried out until 2019 in Eastern Siberia. 3 Unlike my “Siberian” fieldwork, which mostly delved into the revival of shamanism after the collapse of the Soviet Union, my “Alpine” research at the very beginning focused on ritual and ceremonial practices in the Alps (see Zola, 2011, 2013); it then gradually shifted toward a more ecological approach to the study of the Alps: since 2017, 4 in fact, I have been analyzing the relationship between “new highlanders” and alternative ways of contrasting social and environmental marginality, such as beekeeping or growing ancient varieties of crops (Zola, 2017a, 2017b). I am now at a stage of my research where my interests in Siberian indigenous cultures and those regarding the Alps share some common features.…”

“…Suprantama, šventės sukūrimas dar nelaiduoja jos sėkmės ir palaikymo visuomenėje (net ir "autentiškos" šventės atkūrimas, kaip rodo Lia Zola [26] tyrimas Alpėse). Analizuojant švenčių išradimo ir diegimo procedūrą, buvo išskirtas socialinio ritualo kūrimo modelis, taikytas ir profesinių dienų modeliavimui: 1) pasirenkama data, susaistyta su tam tikrais profesijai svarbiais įvykiais, žmonėmis, kaip tinkama reprezentuoti profesijai svarbias idėjas bei šventės kilmę, kartais priderinta prie įprastų švenčių laiko (toliau -data-idėja); 2) šventės yra valdžios ar organizacijų institucijos reglamentuotos (kai kurios šių dienų yra įtrauktos į atmintinų dienų sąrašą arba asociacijų nuostatus), ritualas vyksta tam tikra nustatyta tvarka, jį sudaro įvairūs iškilmių renginiai; 3) šventei parenkama tinkama vieta (viešosios miesto ar uždaresnės pastatų erdvės); 4) kasmet ji kartojama, taip bendruomenė įpratinama prie šventės, jai pritaikomos aktualijos.…”
