Parole e immagini nella ritualità della Settimana Santa in Sardegna. Fonti scritte e sculture lignee nella pratica rituale dell’epoca moderna

摘要

The thesis intends to demonstrate how in the seventeenth and eighteenth century Sardinia itudwas fundamental for the Church to use the preached word and meditative text along with theuddevotional image. These are the same tools for control and indoctrination for the faithful. Thisudparticular phenomenon, even more marked in the modern age, is realized in Sardiniaudespecially in the rites of Holy Week still celebrated today, the function of the "Deposition"udand devotion to the Mysteries of the Passion, reconstructing the origin and development ofudthese rites. It outlines the historical and social context of Sardinia in the XVII-XVIII Century.udEmphasizing the devotional and religious aspect in particular towards the Passion of Christ.udIncluding once the religious importance of the event in the Sardinian society of the time andudof Easter is understood, as the central moment of the liturgical year, we analyze the functionudthat the sacred image had in the rites practiced in the island, which had greater importanceudbecause it was supported by the preached word. Then some homiletic and meditative texts ofudthe seventeenth century are examined, within this perspective. Finally, the historical andudartistic side is deepened by critical study of some wooden sculptures, used in these rituals,udwhich is published unedited, incorporating them into specific areas of production and provingudonce again how modern era Sardinia was a cultural and artistic crossroads and trading center.
