Cirese 101: Rereading Antonio Gramsci's ‘Observations on Folklore'"

is part of Anuac. Journal of the italian society of cultural anthropology , 1 , 11 , June, 2022
This Anniversary Forum commemorates the figure and work of Alberto Mario Cirese (1921-2011), a prominent Italian anthropologist, on the 101st anniversary of his birth. Cirese's reading of Gramsci has been highly influential. For this reason, the forum is built around the re-edition of the English translation of Cirese's essay Gramsci's Observations on folklore: Conceptions of the world, spontaneous philosophy and class instinct. The essay is followed by short critical interventions of attentive readers of Gramsci's anthropology: Kate Crehan, Riccardo Ciavolella, Giovanni Pizza. The forum ends with a contribution by Jorge A. González, who recalls his encounter and relation with Cirese, while offering new historical insights on Cirese's teaching, study and research activities in Mexico.
