Scoprire Halloween significa andare oltre maschere, zucche e travestimenti per seguire una storia fatta di racconti, migrazioni e tradizioni che cambiano nel tempo.
Il viaggio comincia dal Samhain delle testimonianze irlandesi: che cosa sappiamo di questa ricorrenza e che cosa appartiene invece alla leggenda? Prosegue attraverso la vigilia di Ognissanti, le usanze popolari europee e il loro incontro con la società americana, fino all'Halloween celebrato oggi in molti paesi.
All'interno scoprirai:
- che cosa raccontano le fonti su Samhain e sui suoi miti
- come si sono trasformati zucche, lanterne, maschere e costumi
- da dove viene il dolcetto o scherzetto
- il ruolo delle migrazioni, del cinema e della cultura pop
- come Halloween è arrivata in Italia e quali reazioni ha suscitato
- le differenze tra questa festa e le altre ricorrenze dedicate ai defunti
Tra storia e folklore, il libro distingue le testimonianze dalle interpretazioni più suggestive, senza perdere il fascino delle storie. Racconta come una festa possa attraversare confini e generazioni, assumendo significati diversi per chi la celebra, la osserva o la discute.
Un volume divulgativo della collana Tradizioni & Folklore per chi desidera conoscere Halloween oltre le immagini più familiari.
