Coarticulació i harmonia vocàlica en valencià septentrional
2011
L’harmonia vocàlica del valencià és un fenomen pel qual la vocal àtona final a s’assimila a les vocals mitjanes tòniques [ɛ] i [ɔ] precedents (cf. terra [ˈtɛrɛ], cosa [ˈkɔzɔ]). Una de les assumpcions de la bibliografia és que aquesta assimilació s’associa amb l’especial obertura de les vocals mitjanes obertes en valencià. En aquest treball estudiarem dos parlars pertanyents al valencià septentrional —el de Nules, que no presenta harmonia, i el de Borriana, que presenta harmonia únicament en la sèrie velar— per comprovar si, efectivament, l’harmonia implica una major obertura de la vocal [ɔ] en el parlar de Borriana. Amb aquest objectiu analitzarem i compararem els valors dels formants de le…
Violencia escolar: derechos y deberes para la convivencia / SCHOOL VIOLENCE: RIGHTS AND DUTIES FOR COEXISTENCE
2017
Experts speak of violence as a psychosocial disease generated in violent environments habituation caused by a lack of democratic consciousness. In this regard, violence is broached in this paper considering it as some kind of atmosphere, especially when it is spread in school. Our contribution includes this perspective and concludes, after analysing the broad outlines of some programs and anti-harassment guidelines, the solution relates to promote social harmony and it goes through a basic premise: both aggressors and assaulted must be aware of their duties and basic rights.

Moritz Hauptmann in München. Hochschuldidaktik im 19. Jahrhundert
2014
Dass Moritz Hauptmanns Buch Die Natur der Harmonik und der Metrik zur Basis institutionalisierter musiktheoretischer Unterweisung wurde, wie an der Koniglich bayerischen Musikschule in Munchen nachweisbar, mag angesichts des hohen Abstraktionsgrads dieser Schrift verwundern. Besonders der Unterricht in der ersten Dekade an der Musikschule kann als einzigartiges Exempel der systematischen Anwendung Hauptmanns in der Lehre verstanden werden. Der Beitrag erortert die Bedeutung der Schrift Hauptmanns fur die Lehre der wichtigsten Fachvertreter nach Grundung der Musikschule (Peter Cornelius und Josef Gabriel Rheinberger), sowie – als Verfallsgeschichte – in der Zeit nach Cornelius’ fruhem Tod un…
Natura e alterita: ancora sull'Aria del Tasso di Giuseppe Tartini:
2014
La passione di Giuseppe Tartini per la musica popolare è attestata da quattro versioni per violino dell’Aria del Tasso. L’Aria rientra nell’ambito di una nuova poetica che ricerca la verità nei canti di natura. Come i musicografi della generazione successiva, il violinista attribuisce alla semplicità un ruolo paradigmatico per separare il concetto di natura dal concetto di artificio. Per cui, il semplice canto di popolo, assieme alla musica greca del periodo classico e alla musica delle «nazioni» non evolute, è più vicino allo stato primigenio, ossia allo stato di natura e quindi alla verità. A questo problema si collegano tre fasi del pensiero del trattatista, in cui il termine natura subi…
NATURA E ARTIFICIO: ALLA RICERCA DI UN’ARMONIA PERDUTA/NATURE AND ARTIFICIALITY: IN SEARCH OF A LOST HARMONY
2017
Il deserto del Maghreb, eterno paesaggio dal divenire lento e irrazionale, o le saline di Mozia, geometrico paesaggio, razionale e violento, provocano in noi una forte attrazione: il primo perché esaltazione di una natura che non si offre a trasformazioni durature in un insieme di regole non individuabili; le seconde, perché prodotto di un artificio generato da mutamenti programmati, che vede l’uomo autore di trasformazioni governa- te da principi razionali. In passato il rapporto uomo- natura-territorio era marcato da una perfetta simbiosi, tanto che le trasformazioni operate non costituivano una violenza, ma un’armonia dove era possibile riconoscere ciò che era naturale da ciò che era art…
Social Harmony or a Happy Society
2021
In this paper, I set out to prove that once we correctly identify human nature and organize our world according to the principle of cooperation, we can arrive at a world of social harmony. We can then engage in conscious human evolution, aiming at moral and intellectual perfection. Hence, we can arrive at evolutionity, a new evolutionary epoch which would replace the current conflicting and disharmonious times of postmodernity. The current world disharmony, which can be observed especially in the field of politics and economics, is largely related to the erroneous modern Western philosophical assertions identifying the human being with an individual moved by desires and the will to power, a…
Politica e pianificazione linguistica (PPL) nella Repubblica Popolare Cinese, fra interventi sulle lingue e (auto/etero) rappresentazioni. Note in ma…
2022
Language Policy and Planning (LPP) in the People’s Republic of China, be- tween Language Interventions and (Self /Hetero) Representation. Marginal Notes of a Translation The aim of this paper is to present some relevant themes of Language Policy and Planning in the People’s Republic of China focusing on two key terms: fangyan (often translated as ‘dialects’) and ‘language harmony’ (yuyan hexie ). Both of them do not belong to the western linguistic tradi- tion and are therefore of particular interest. The paper examines official texts from the last ten years.
Developing Intercultural Mindedness through an Experiential Learning Activity—A Case Study from Singapore
2022
Recent incidents of alleged racism worldwide amid the COVID-19 pandemic have challenged us to ponder on the meaning and importance of intercultural education. However, it can be difficult to understand the ways in which intercultural discourse can be beneficial for learning, as well as prepare young people to act against racism and inequalities to work towards a more sustainable future. This study presents analysis of learning materials from a case study conducted in one secondary school in Singapore. The objective of the activity is for students to engage in intercultural learning by participating in walking trails with different themes in a few neighborhoods, to learn more about the histo…
Lay definitions of happiness across nations: The primacy of inner harmony and relational connectedness
2016
In well-being research the term happiness is often used as synonymous with life satisfaction. However, little is known about lay people's understanding of happiness. Building on the available literature, this study explored lay definitions of happiness across nations and cultural dimensions, analyzing their components and relationship with participants' demographic features. Participants were 2799 adults (age range = 30-60, 50% women) living in urban areas of Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, Hungary, India, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, and United States. They completed the Eudaimonic and Hedonic Happiness Investigation (EHHI), reporting, among other information, th…
