Mircea Eliade e Julien Ries. Simbolo, mito e rito: dall’ermeneutica integrale all’antropologia religiosa digital

di Davide Navarria

Anno: 2016

The essay focuses on the relationship between the hermeneutic of religions in the original perspective of Mircea Eliade’s works, and the way by which Julien Ries, a disciple of Eliade, employees and values some essential aspects of Eliade’s point of view. More particularly, I clarify three important elements that in both perspectives play an important role, in order to highlight the experience of homo religiosus. These elements are symbol, myth and rite, considered as universal elements of the structure of human constitution. The main question of the essay will be: how does Ries display Eliade’s research? As a result of the study, I expect a first comprehension of the scientific relationship between the two scholars. Keywords: symbol, myth, rite, religious anthropology, homo religiosus...

Lo sconcerto del desiderio. Dall’idolo al simbolo digital

di Davide Navarria

Anno: 2013

The question about myth is a topic that in the last years has become more and more important, and it has been developed in various – and often very different – ways; it is the case of the bultmannian demythologization, the structuralisme of Lévi- Strauss, and furthermore of the psychoanalytic approach of C. G. Jung; in the end, we must consider the renewed determination of philosophers and anthropologists who focused their attention and efforts in order to clarify the connection between mythical production and contemporary civilization, characterized by consumerism. The theme will be discussed from an anthropological point of view. The aim of the present paper, with the support of Eliade, Durand and Petrosino, is to investigate the relation between myth in contemporary civilization and Greek mythography: reflecting about the theme of idolatry, I will try to discover the connection between the desiring structure of human being and the imaginal production that he always shapes. As a result of this study, it is clarified the issue about cultural production and anthropologic fulfillment.
