Tarantella, a genre of Southern Italian folk music and dance, is an
international phenomenon--seen and heard in popular festivals,
performed across the Italian diaspora, even adapted for New Age
spiritual practices. The boom in popularity has diversified
tarantella in practice while setting it within a host of new,
unexpected contexts. Incoronata Inserra ventures into the history,
global circulation, and recontextualization of this fascinating
genre. Examining tarantella's changing image and role among
Italians and Italian Americans, Inserra illuminates how factors
like tourism, translation, and world music venues have shifted the
ethics of place embedded in the tarantella cultural tradition. Once
rural, religious, and rooted, tarantella now thrives in settings
urban, secular, migrant, and ethnic. Inserra reveals how the
genre's changing dynamics contribute to reimagining Southern
Italian identity. At the same time, they translate tarantella into
a different kind of performance that serves new social and cultural
groups and purposes. Indeed, as Inserra shows, tarantella's global
growth promotes a reassessment of gender relations in the Italian
South and helps create space for Italian and Italian-American women
to reclaim gendered aspects of the genre.
