| Summary: | To Paul Meyer and Les Films de l’Églantine, Belgium Paul Meyer, filmmaker and documentarist, born September 29, 1920, died September 29, 2007 in Belgium. He had his own production company Les films de l´églantine in his hometown Barchon, Belgium. Due to lucky circumstances, I met him during the French Film Festival, Tübingen, in 1995 and am still in possession of a personal hand-written letter from him, dated August, 1995. Our talk is documented in Blickpunkt: Film of 17 th July, 1995. Der Beitrag beschreibt am Beispiel von vier Dokumentarfilmen exemplarisch die Arbeit und das Werk von Luigi di Gianni, einem wichtigen Vertreter visueller Anthropologie in Europa, Schüler von Ernesto de Martino und Paul Meyer. Die Arbeiten zeigen therapeutische Riten süditalienischer Volksreligiosität aus der Zeit zwischen den fünfziger Jahren bis in die erste Dekade des 21. Jahrhunderts hinein und würdigen das Werk di Giannis in seiner bisher vernachlässigten Bedeutung für die Religionswissenschaft und die Europäische Religionsgeschichte. The contribution describes the work and oeuvre of Luigi di Gianni, an important representative of Visual Anthropology in Europe, pupil of Ernesto de Martino and Paul Meyer, via examples of four documentaries. The works show therapeutic rites of south Italian popular religiosity from the 1950 s until the first decade of the 21st century and are honouring the work of di Gianni in its so far neglected importance for the Study of Religion and the European History of Religion. |
