520 "In The Life and Work of Ernesto de Martino, Flavio A.
Geisshuesler offers a comprehensive study of one of
Italy's most colorful historians of religions. The book
inserts de Martino's dramatic life trajectory within the
intellectual climate and the socio-political context of
his age in order to offer a fresh perspective on the
evolution of the discipline of religious studies during
the 20th century. Demonstrating that scholarship on
religion was animated by moments of fear of the apocalypse,
it brings de Martino's perspective into conversation with
Mircea Eliade, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Clifford Geertz in
order to recover an Italian approach that promises to
redeem religious studies as a relevant and revitalizing
field of research in the contemporary climate of crisis"--
