Abstract
The documentary, Texas Tavola, describes the survival, among a Sicilian community in Texas, of an ancient Sicilian ritual, still practised in many parts of modern Sicily, ‘the altar of Saint Joseph’. Multicultural societies may have become the norm today, but identity in integration is still a highly relevant issue. This paper uses the model of Bucholtz and Hall (2005), which is applied to some transcriptions from the film, analysing the data via proximisation theory (Cap 2005).File in questo prodotto:
