Rito, teatro, processo: dalle origini sacrali ai nuovi miti tecnologici

[Machine translation] The article specifies the ritual character of the trial scene, basing its roots at the same time in classical theater, but above all in the technique of perspective and in the consequent revival of theatricality as a form of rituality in the invention of the Italian theater and the movie theater. Faced with the post-modern crisis of ritual representation, the article rereads the political theological debate on acclamation as a ritual form, identifying its potential, and not just the risks of drift, within a process of further secularization of the collective forms of rituality.
