Folklore

About this book

Folklore, le "conoscenze del popolo": una parola inglese, moderna, che descrive un fenomeno dalla storia lunghissima. Già gli antichi, infatti, avevano tutto un patrimonio di canti, giochi, indovinelli, scongiuri e magie, favole e spauracchi, proverbi, leggende e fiabe. Era la forma di cultura più accessibile: per molti l'unica, per tutti la prima, quella che in un certo senso ogni bambino apprendeva con il latte materno. E anche se la letteratura elevata tendeva a marginalizzare e ignorare questa dimensione, abbiamo numerose allusioni e frammenti che gettano luce su questo aspetto inedito della Grecia e di Roma. La comparazione con il folklore moderno e contemporaneo, evidenziando i punti di contatto ma anche le differenze, permette di contestualizzarlo e comprenderlo meglio.
