The Love Trap. Romanticization practices of the Italian generations of the 90s
Drawing from material collected during two ethnographic investigations conducted in Rome and Lazio, I will focus on the experience of love triggered by relationships with human beings and archaeological remains. I aim to show how these activities give rise to a romantic experience in a context that...

I aim to show how these activities give rise to a romantic experience in a context that paradoxically regards love as a fictional and unreliable reality. Utilizing Ernesto De Martino’s conceptual framework, I describe that for the transitional generation born around 1990, caught between precariousness and the triumphant narratives of their predecessors, romantic discourse serves as a shield against existential annihilation by the uncontrollable forces of the universe. It also serves as a means to attain a distinctive identity validated by Italian tradition and heritage. However, while love offers a stable and trustworthy refuge, it can also render individuals powerless to change their life situation and cope with a lack of future prospects. Partendo dal materiale di due indagini etnografiche svolte a Roma e nel Lazio, mi concentrerò sull’esperienza dell’amore innescata dalle relazioni con gli umani e con i resti archeologici. Mostrerò come tali attività diano vita a un’esperienza romantica in un contesto che paradossalmente considera l’amore come una realtà fittizia e inaffidabile. Utilizzando il quadro concettuale di Ernesto de Martino, descriverò come per la generazione di transizione nata intorno al 1990, intrappolata tra la precarietà e le narrazioni trionfanti dei loro predecessori, il discorso romantico possa fungere da scudo contro l’annientamento esistenziale causato dalle forze incontrollabili dell’universo, servendo anche come mezzo per ottenere un’identità distintiva convalidata dalla tradizione e dal patrimonio italiano. Tuttavia, così come l’amore offre un rifugio stabile e affidabile, può anche rendere gli individui impotenti nel cambiare la loro situazione di vita e far fronte alla mancanza di prospettive future. |
