Apparizioni e rivoluzioni: Potenzialità e criticità di un binomio complesso.
- Authors
COZZO, PAOLO
- Abstract
The essay illustrates the multiple historical meanings of the terms "apparition" and "revolution", evidencing the different semantic nuances, changing depending on the context, in which they are produced. Moreover it is exposed and argued, on the basis of a broad casuistry already object of historiographic debate, the thesis according to which the apparitions (in particular the Marian ones) are "markers" of dynamics of socio-political changes, which find in the public use of hierophanic phenomena elements of legitimization or censorship.
