Abstract
The Renaissance has passed on to us an ostensibly ambiguous image of youth. Armed with crosses, hymns and drums, children and young people are both the quintessential troublemakers and the guardians of public order and morality. How does music allow them to express in the rituals of sociability those emotive impulses which theology, law and medicine regard as typical of adolescence ? This contribution addresses these aspects in light of cognitive theories advances in recent international historiography.File in questo prodotto:
