La recente proliferazione di eventi si fonda su una complessa interazione ed evoluzione di tre differenti sistemi culturali presenti in Occidente. Il primo è costituito dall’arcaico mondo magico-religioso, di cui si analizzano le feste d’inverno, il Capodanno e il Carnevale. Il secondo fa riferimento al calendario cristiano, che ha come feste più rappresentative la Pasqua e il Corpus Domini. I rituali profani contemporanei, in cui le arti performative svolgono un ruolo essenziale, discendono dalle celebrazioni rinascimentali e barocche del potere civile e religioso.

Abstract
The recent proliferation of events is based on a complex interaction and a complex evolution of three different cultural systems existing in the West. The first is represented by the archaic world (magic and religious), of which we analyze the winter festivities, New Year and Carnival. The second refers to the Christian calendar, in which Easter and Corpus Christi are the most representative celebrations. The contemporary secular rituals, in which the performing arts play a vital role, stem from the Renaissance and Baroque celebrations of civil and religious power.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
