Edited by Massimo Bray - Laura Marchetti
This volume contains the proceedings of a conference held in Rome on 15 May 2019, organised by the Italian region of Apulia, the Teatro Pubblico Pugliese - Regional Consortium for Arts and Culture, in collaboration with the Treccani Institute (Institute of the Italian Encyclopaedia). The central theme is that of the fairy tale, which is a product of popular culture that can provide insights into the relationship between people and peoples, and therefore deeply reflects the identity of local communities, while at the same time representing a common European identity. The introductory reflections by Massimo Bray on the theme of the Fairy Tale in relation to the entry on Europe in the Italian Encyclopaedia of Science, Letters, and Arts and by Laura Marchetti on the role of the fundamental values of fraternity, equality and freedom in European folk tales are followed by contributions from twelve scholars: Giovanni Puglisi, Bernhard Lauer, Piero Bevilacqua, Luigi M. Lombardi Satriani, Ferdinando Mirizzi, Franca Pinto Minerva, Battista Quinto Borghi, Paolo Ponzio, Lea Durante, Salvatore Colazzo, Domenico Di Leo, and Roberto De Simone. The concluding remarks are written by Aldo Patruno, who contextualises the interest in fairy tales in Apulia and explains the rationale behind this work as an ‘attempt to find, in the absence of a substantive debate on the future of Europe, profound and original ways of interpreting the present, which does not seem to offer reassuring prospects’.
