Santa Maria Maddalena de’ Pazzi è preda di visioni in cui implora Gesù crocifisso stillante sangue dalle piaghe di irrorarla con il sacro liquido, in un bagno di «concupiscenzia siziente e saziante» che le avrebbe fatto raggiungere la beatitudine. In Spagna cuochi e pasticcieri non di rado utilizzano le carni degli squartati e i frammenti dei suppliziati per preparare sanguinolenti vol-au-vent. All’assassino del principe d’Orange, atrocemente torturato per quattro giorni prima di spirare dal dolore, il carnefice pratica una laparatomia sulla pubblica piazza, incanalando in catartico teatro di massa l’antico, inestirpabile istinto di Caino.È nel sangue, sul filo rosso fra puro e impuro, che si rappresenta l’inesausto dramma tra sacro e profano, tra storia del divino e storia di quell’umano che dell’umanità vuol disfarsi. Nel Sugo della vita Piero Camporesi prende in carico la narrazione di questa storia: con maestria racconta la potente carica metaforica del sangue che, rosso e dolciastro, cola sull’immaginario prescientifico a coagulare simboli ora terrifici ora salvifici, connessi alla dissoluzione e alla morte o alla rigenerazione e alla vita. Così il sangue di Cristo acquista la preziosità taumaturgica di un magico unguento che annichilisce i miasmi della malignità: il più squisito distillato, uscito non dalla bottega di un qualsiasi speziale ma dalla grotta meravigliosa del costato del Protomedico che ha sconfitto la morte. Viceversa, per strada le compagnie dei flagellanti si autopuniscono ferocemente salassandosi a staffilate: carnevali di afflizione, riti di violenza sacra, esorcismi collettivi per neutralizzare l’empietà che irrora il tessuto sociale.Poi l’antico enigma del sangue si è dissolto; la società postindustriale – asettica, anemica, emofobica – effonde solo il sangue altrui, nelle fiumane cruente della guerra. Il Saggiatore continua la ripubblicazione del corpus delle opere di Camporesi – avviato con Il pane selvaggio e proseguito con Le belle contrade – e rende al pubblico quest’altra magnifica tavola dell’opulento polittico in cui Camporesi ha ritratto l’umanità nella transizione dal premoderno al contemporaneo.

The Oratorian priest Antonio Gallonio (1556-1605) devoted his life to writing about saints. The thread running through his hagiographical oeuvre was renunciation of this world: humility, subservience and endurance. Yet he engaged with the expertise of lay people, jurists, physicians and engineers, so as to appeal to their interests and convert them. In order to emphasize how saints endured torture, healed disease and exercised piety rather than ingenuity, Gallonio ventured into those secular disciplines, even if he did not endorse them. This book surveys Gallonio’s published and unpublished works and his position in Roman society, to expose the tensions between a theocratic clergy and the self-assertion of skilled and scholarly professionals in the Italian Counter-Reformation.

This invaluable collection explores the many faces of murder, and its cultural presences, across the Italian peninsula between 1350 and 1650. These shape the content in different ways: the faces of homicide range from the ordinary to the sensational, from the professional to the accidental, from the domestic to the public; while the cultural presence of homicide is revealed through new studies of sculpture, paintings, and popular literature. Dealing with a range of murders, and informed by the latest criminological research on homicide, it brings together new research by an international team of specialists on a broad range of themes: different kinds of killers (by gender, occupation, and situation); different kinds of victim (by ethnicity, gender, and status); and different kinds of evidence (legal, judicial, literary, and pictorial). It will be an indispensable resource for students of Renaissance Italy, late medieval/early modern crime and violence, and homicide studies.

Trust is a central feature of relationships within the Mafia, oppressed minorities, kin groups everywhere, among dissidents, nationalist freedom fighters, ethnic tourists, ethnic middlemen, exchange networks of Kalahari Bushmen, and families subjected to Stalinist social control. Each of these types of trust is examined by a leading scholar and compared with the expectations of neo-Darwinian theory, in particular the theories of kin selection and ethnic nepotism. The result is a fascinating, theoretically focused yet empirically eclectic contribution to the overlapping fields of human ethnology, evolutionary psychology, and bio-politics. The common thread uniting these diverse phenomena is a trusting relationship predicated on altruism. Chapters examine the strengths and limits of human trust under various stressers and temptations to defect. By exploring the relationship between kin and ethnic altruism and showing its sensitivity to culture, Risky Transactions recasts the evolutionary approach to ethnicity as a blend of primordial and instrumental factors.
