%0 Journal Article %T Religione e sensibilit¨¤ su alcuni motivi "estetici" in Ernesto de Martino %J - %D 2018 %R DOI Code: 10.1285/i18285368aXXXIIn95p94 %X The article focuses the function of the £¿sensibility£¿ in what is named by Ernesto De Martino the soteriological drama of £¿presence£¿. In De Martino's early studies on religion, the sacred is qualified as a £¿technique of the presence towards herself£¿. In this framework, the primacy accorded to technical aspects of the sacred compared to the doctrinal ones highlights the troubled £¿human genesis£¿ characterizing and giving impetus to the real religious life. Therefore, religious experience represents a protective instrument that operates through the mythical-ritual symbolism. Our hypothesis is that the protective strategy of religious experience finds its main involvement center in the body. For this reason, religion is analyzed here as a technique of the sensibility and the theme of presence is understood in its particular "aesthetic" relevance %K Ernesto De Martino %K Religion %K Ritual %K Sensibility %K Body %K Aesthetics %U http://siba-ese.unisalento.it/index.php/segnicompr/article/view/20134
