For centuries, the rite of the tarantula was the only cure for those ‘bitten’ or ‘possessed’ by the mythic Apulian spider. Its victims had to dance to the local tarantella or ‘pizzica’ for days on end. Today, the pizzica has returned to the limelight, bringing to the forefront issues of performance, gender, identity and well-being. This book explores how and why the pizzica has boomed in the Salento and elsewhere and asks whether this current popu- larity has anything to do with the historic ritual of tarantism or with the intention of recovering well-being. While personal stories and experiences may confirm the latter, a vital shift has appeared in the Salento: from the confrontation of life crises to the vibrant promotion and celebration of a local sense of identity and celebrity.

" In 1518, a woman started dancing on the streets of Strasbourg and could not stop. No priests, physics or leaders could help as more and more people joined her, jaunting as their feet bled and their bodies broke. Centuries later the mystery endures, explained as mass hysteria, mob mentality but suspected to be something much more sinister. In this fourth collection of Utter Speculation, nine authors offer stories of witches and wishes, love and longing, of music and mastery and the deepest secrets of restless hearts. "Real-life medieval madness and chaos that was utterly frightening becomes utterly fascinating in The Dancing Plague collection from Speculation Publishing. From Brother Frix's monastery infirmary horrors ("This Way Lies Madness"/Wenzel) to Frau Troffea's cockroach stomp ("Shake, Rattle and Roll"/Updike), this is recommended reading." — Chris Bauer, author of crime thrillers about Philadelphia including 2 STREET, (where the city's most sacred group of dancers, the Philly Mummers, also die in bunches) "I'm always tickled when I hear a new Speculation is imminent because I know I'm in for a ride through unfamiliar, if not unsettling, terrain. The Dancing Plague collection is no exception. Some stories horrify, others ignite the spark of introspection, but all make me eager to keep turning the page." — William J. Donahue, author of BURN, BEAUTIFUL SOUL and CRAWL ON YOUR BELLY ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE "LCW Allingham and her two cohorts have come up with another thematic anthology in their Collection of Utter Speculation series. The Dancing Plague relates to a contagious 16th Century malady in what is now France leading to the victims convulsively dancing in the streets. This clever collection offers nine original takes on the affliction from a variety of authors dealing with time travel to scientific investigation to a modern re-occurrence. Much fun." — Don Swaim, author of THE ASSASSINATION OF AMBROSE BIERCE: A LOVE STORY "

God’s war crimes, Aristotle’s sneaky tricks, Einstein’s pajamas, information theory’s blind spot, Stephen Wolfram’s new kind of science, and six monkeys at six typewriters getting it wrong. What do these have to do with the birth of a universe and with your need for meaning? Everything, as you’re about to see. How does the cosmos do something it has long been thought only gods could achieve? How does an inanimate universe generate stunning new forms and unbelievable new powers without a creator? How does the cosmos create? That’s the central question of this book, which finds clues in strange places. Why A does not equal A. Why one plus one does not equal two. How the Greeks used kickballs to reinvent the universe. And the reason that Polish-born Benoît Mandelbrot—the father of fractal geometry—rebelled against his uncle. You’ll take a scientific expedition into the secret heart of a cosmos you’ve never seen. Not just any cosmos. An electrifyingly inventive cosmos. An obsessive-compulsive cosmos. A driven, ambitious cosmos. A cosmos of colossal shocks. A cosmos of screaming, stunning surprise. A cosmos that breaks five of science’s most sacred laws. Yes, five. And you’ll be rewarded with author Howard Bloom’s provocative new theory of the beginning, middle, and end of the universe—the Bloom toroidal model, also known as the big bagel theory—which explains two of the biggest mysteries in physics: dark energy and why, if antimatter and matter are created in equal amounts, there is so little antimatter in this universe. Called "truly awesome" by Nobel Prize–winner Dudley Herschbach, The God Problem will pull you in with the irresistible attraction of a black hole and spit you out again enlightened with the force of a big bang. Be prepared to have your mind blown. From the Hardcover edition.
