With the advancement of cybernetics, avatars, animation, and
virtual reality, a thorough understanding of how the puppet
metaphor originates from specific theatrical practices and media is
especially relevant today. This book identifies and interprets the
aesthetic and cultural significance of the different traditions of
the Italian puppet theater in the broader Italian culture and
beyond. Grounded in the often-overlooked history of the evolution
of several Italian puppetry traditions - the central and northern
Italian stringed marionettes, the Sicilian pupi, the glove puppets
of the Po Valley, and the Neapolitan Pulcinella - this study
examines a broad spectrum of visual, cinematic, literary, and
digital texts representative of the functions and themes of the
puppet. A systematic analysis of the meanings ascribed to the idea
and image of the puppet provides a unique vantage point to observe
the perseverance and transformation of its deeper associations,
linking premodern, modern, and contemporary contexts.
