Medas, Stefano (Author)
Se confrontate con quelle attuali, le tecniche e le pratiche di navigazione degli antichi risultano relativamente semplici, basate su princìpi essenziali ma estremamente efficaci, come dimostra la loro lunga persistenza nel corso del tempo. Poca teoria e tanta pratica, pochi strumenti e molta esperienza; la straordinaria capacità di rapportarsi con l’ambiente e con gli elementi naturali ha sviluppato quel “senso marino” che è sempre stato una peculiarità propria delle genti di mare fino al tramonto della vela, ovvero fino alla prima metà del Novecento. Possiamo così ritrovare diversi princìpi dell’antica arte di navigare nella recente marineria tradizionale, ovvero nella marineria da lavoro e da pesca, in un contesto popolare che maggiormente ha conservato caratteri “arcaici”. Lo stesso è accaduto per i sentimenti dei marinai, per le loro credenze nei confronti delle imbarcazioni e del mare. L’etnografia nautica rappresenta quindi un importante strumento di studio comparativo, che ci aiuta a comprendere modi di navigare che presentano una loro speciale raffinatezza, perfettamente adeguati ad ogni necessità, a spostarsi regolarmente da un capo all’altro del Mediterraneo e perfino ad affrontare viaggi oceanici. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… If compared with the current ones, the navigation techniques and practices of the ancients are relatively simple, based on essential but extremely effective principles, as evidenced by their long persistence over time. Little theory and a lot of practice, few tools and a lot of experience; the extraordinary ability to relate to the environment and natural elements has developed that "marine sense" that has always been a peculiarity of the people of the sea until the end of sailships, that is, until the first half of the twentieth century. We can thus find different principles of the ancient art of sailing in the recent traditional navy, or in the working and fishing navy, in a popular context that has mostly preserved "archaic" characteristics. The same happened for the feelings of the sailors, for their beliefs towards boats and the sea. Nautical ethnography therefore represents an important tool for comparative study, which helps us to understand ways of navigating that have their own special refinement, perfectly suited to every need, to move regularly from one end of the Mediterranean to the other and even to tackle oceanic journeys.]
