Book excerpt: Sunday dinners, basement kitchens, and backyard gardens are everyday cultural entities long associated with Italian Americans, yet the general perception of them remains superficial and stereotypical at best. For many people, these scenarios trigger ingrained assumptions about individuals' beliefs, politics, aesthetics, values, and behaviors that leave little room for nuance and elaboration. This collection of essays explores local knowledge and aesthetic practices, often marked as "folklore," as sources for creativity and meaning in Italian-American lives. As the contributors demonstrate, folklore provides contemporary scholars with occasions for observing and interpreting behaviors and objects as part of lived experiences. Its study provides new ways of understanding how individuals and groups reproduce and contest identities and ideologies through expressive means. Italian Folk offers an opportunity to reexamine and rethink what we know about Italian Americans. The contributors to this unique book discuss historic and contemporary cultural expressions and religious practices from various parts of the United States and Canada to examine how they operate at local, national, and transnational levels. The essays attest to people's ability and willingness to create and reproduce certain cultural modes that connect them to social entities such as the family, the neighborhood, and the amorphous and fleeting communities that emerge in large-scale festivals and now on the Internet. Italian Americans abandon, reproduce, and/or revive various cultural elements in relationship to ever-shifting political, economic, and social conditions. The results are dynamic, hybrid cultural forms such as valtaro accordion music, Sicilian oral poetry, a Columbus Day parade, and witchcraft (stregheria). By taking a closer look and an ethnographic approach to expressive behavior, we see that Italian-American identity is far from being a linear path of assimilation from Italian immigrant to American of Italian descent but is instead fraught with conflict, negotiation, and creative solutions. Together, these essays illustrate how folklore is evoked in the continual process of identity revaluation and reformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the development in Sicily of a chivalric tradition based on the medieval stories of Charlemagne and his knights, this is an analysis of Sicilian storytelling, puppetry, festivals, cart painting and other folk art. Interviews with puppeteers are documented, and hand painted cart panels and playbill posters are described and illustrated. The diffusion of the chivalric tradition in Sicily is explained in part by the "sense of honor" that has permeated Sicilian life. The story of one puppeteer, Girolamo Cuticchio, and his family sheds light on the hardships and uncertain future of this art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the undisputed heyday of folk horror was Britain in the 1960s and 1970s, the genre has not only a rich cinematic and literary prehistory, but directors and novelists around the world have also been reinventing folk horror for the contemporary moment. This study sets out to rethink the assumptions that have guided critical writing on the genre in the face of such expansions, with chapters exploring a range of subjects from the fiction of E. F. Benson to Scooby-Doo, video games, and community engagement with the Lancashire witches. In looking beyond Britain, the essays collected here extend folk horror's geographic terrain to map new conceptualisations of the genre now seen emerging from Italy, Ukraine, Thailand, Mexico and the Appalachian region of the US.

This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking dive into uncovering the truth about long-accepted claims by neo-pagans and practitioners of pop-culture witchcraft that their traditions are somehow based on an imaginary "cult of witches" witnessed by a Philadelphia folklorist in Tuscany, whose roots pre-date the Christian church. Theological anthropologist and lifelong practitioner of the Italian and Afro-Sicilian esoteric and magical traditions, Franciscan contemplative, Gianmichael Salvato (Francis-Maria of the Sacred & Immaculate Hearts) exposes the problematic fallacies upon which pop-culture witchcraft stake such claims, while encouraging practitioners to hold fast to their traditions, by simply accepting that they are mid-20th century esoteric religions. Meanwhile, he shares his own family's tradition, and the tradition of thousands of other Italian and Sicilian practitioners, from the days of antiquity to a postmodern world, and talks about intersectionality with the ancient Mystery Traditions that didn't serve as the foundation or origin of witchcraft, but which relied on the skillful herbal knowledge and connection to energetic frequencies used by Sicilian and Southern Italian esoteric practitioners (particularly women) -- at first for the Great Mysteries of the ancient Greek world, and later, in continuity, for the syncretic esoteric Catholic Mysteries, especially the Great Mystery of Eternal Life. Founder of the Inner Alchemy Mystery School, Gianmichael Salvato has been teaching this insightful and controversial new way of understanding modern occultism on stage and in workshops for the past nine years. This expanded Second-Edition book, whose previous publishers refused to include the full text, is now published, for the first time, in its entirety.
