I am Giorgio Scalici, born in Palermo in 1986. I am currently a Research Fellow for the FRED project at the Department of History, Anthropology, Religions, and Performing Arts, Faculty of Letters and Philosophy, at the University of Rome “La Sapienza.” I earned my Master’s degree in Ethnomusicology at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” and my PhD in Religious Studies at Durham University. My research interests span death studies, indigenous cultures, the study of religion, ethnomusicology, comic books, video games, the mafia, and the anthropology of emotion.
