PCP ANNOUNCEMENTS
11/10/2011 A M.A. Dissertation about the PCP has been presented to the University of Bologna, Faculty of Litterature and Philosophy, by Antonella Sciancalepore, under the supervision of Andrea Fassò and Francesco Benozzo. In her dissertation, A. Sciancalepore discusses in a PCP frame the origins of conceptions and beliefs related to Celtic goddesses and Neoitalid feminine figures. Dissertation title: La regina saracena e la domna trobadorica: uno scavo sulle origini della signora datrice di sovranità. 15/07/2011 A B.A. Dissertation about the PCP has been presented to the University of Bologna, Faculty of Litterature and Philosophy, by Elisa Rateni, under the supervision of Francesco Benozzo. In her dissertation, E. Rateni discusses in a PCP frame the origins and developments of a few aspects related to sacrifice, hunting and cognitive processes. Dissertation title: Cacciatori, prede e altari sacrificali. Continuità paleolitica e modelli politici e narrativi. 18/04/2011 On June 9-10, 2011, the CRBC (Centre de Recherche Bretonne et Celtique) will organize at the University of Brest (Brittany, France) an international conference which will bring together several researchers (archaeologists, linguists, geneticists) who will compare their viewpoints on the connections between the populations living in Atlantic Europe and the languages spoken there from the late Paleolithic period… The conference is the introductory stage of an interdisciplinary collaboration between archaeologists, linguists, paleo-anthropologists, historians, geneticists on the same subject. The received doctrine for the origin of the Celts in Western Europe was centered upon the idea of an Indo-European Invasion in the Copper Age (4th millennium B.C.), by horse-riding warrior pastoralists. The subsequent process of Celtic language evolution would therefore have taken place in the II and I millennium, that is in the Bronze and Iron Age. The evidence collected by archaeology in the last thirty years overwhelmingly prove the absence of any large scale invasion in Europe, and the uninterrupted continuity of most Copper and Bronze Age cultures of Europe from Neolithic, and of most Neolithic cultures from Mesolithic and final Paleolithic. Some of the participants hold for the PCP (Paleolithic Continuity Paradigm), which considers that the recent prehistory of Western Europe – from the Megalithic culture through the Beaker Bell to the colonialistic La Tène – must have all been Celtic. Consequently, the duration of the colonial expansion of the Celts was much longer than thought, and its direction was from West to East and not vice versa. Other participants will expound different viewpoints. Conference notice Conference program 16/04/2011 A vernissage of the book Etnofilologia by Francesco Benozzo will take place on the 2nd of May at the Dipartimento di Filologia Classica e Italianistica (Aula Forti, 11am): professor Francisco Rico (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) and Professor Domenico Fiormonte (Università di Roma Tre) will inroduce and discuss the volume; the debate will be coordinated by Gian Mario Anselmi, Head of the Italian Department in Bologna. 16/03/2011 A B.A. Dissertation about the PCP has been presented to the University of Bologna, Faculty of Litterature and Philosophy, by Giacomo Mazza, under the supervision of Francesco Benozzo. In his dissertation, G. Mazza discusses Carlo Ginzburg's "Siberian hypothesis" for the diffusion of shamanism in Central Europe (see Storia Notturna. Una decifrazione del Sabba, Torino, Einaudi, 1994), pointing out that many elements collected by Ginzburg could be better undestood in in a PCP frame. Dissertation title: Dal Sabba al Signore degli Animali. Una lettura di Storia notturna di Carlo Ginzburg attraverso il Paradigma della Continuità Paleolitica. 08/02/2011 Mario Alinei replies to a critical comment by Massimo Pittau in "Archeologia Nuragica". 19/01/2011 In the World News section of the international magazine "Current World Archaeology" (issue 43, 2010, p. 12), Christopher Catling published a note about Francesco Benozzo's ethnolinguistic hypothesis that the large slabs of stone used for building megalithic monuments were transported by lashing them to the bottom of a skin-covered boat.
