The literary, poetic and essay evidences that are selected and analyzed in this collection represent a theoretical and poetic synthesis of the profound reasons that make the crib a true theatrical machine and that, also, make the rituals of Christmas a total social fact. This anthropological analysis enucleates the discrete traits of the Neapolitan phenomenology of Christmas and at the same time takes this narrative material as “thick descriptions”, in the meaning given to this term by the anthropologist Clifford Geertz.
Le testimonianze letterarie, poetiche e saggistiche selezionate e analizzate in questa raccolta costituiscono una sintesi teorica e poetica delle ragioni profonde che fanno del presepe un’autentica macchina teatrale e dei rituali natalizi un fatto sociale totale. Questa analisi antropologica enuclea i tratti discreti della fenomenologia natalizia partenopea e al tempo stesso assume questo materiale narrativo come delle thick descriptions, secondo l’accezione data a questo termine dall’antropologo Clifford Geertz.

Abstract
The literary, poetic and essay evidences that are selected and analyzed in this collection represent a theoretical and poetic synthesis of the profound reasons that make the crib a true theatrical machine and that, also, make the rituals of Christmas a total social fact. This anthropological analysis enucleates the discrete traits of the Neapolitan phenomenology of Christmas and at the same time takes this narrative material as “thick descriptions”, in the meaning given to this term by the anthropologist Clifford Geertz.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
