The Spirituality Questionnaire: Core Dimensions of Spirituality
2012
Various approaches are used to assess spirituality via questionnaires, ranging from one-dimensional scales to highly multidimensional models. For the present investigation, an – in spirituality research unorthodox – factor analytic method was chosen: principal axis analysis with oblique rotation. An item collection was examinated and cross-validated via internet. The spirituality questionnaire contains four dimensions: belief in God, search for meaning, mindfulness, and feeling of security. They present with high internal consistencies. The factorial structure of the four dimensions was confirmed. Based on the better fit of this method of extraction the authors assume that these dimensions …
Sofferenza, malessere e disgrazia. : Metafore del dolore e senso del male nell'opera paleo-babilonese "Un uomo e il suo dio": un approccio interdisci…
2012
The Old-Babylonian text “A man and his god” has enjoyed a wide reputation for its many parallels with the biblical story of Job, and has been the subject of accurate philological analysis. This composition describes the suffering and pain of desperate man calls his God for healing. The aim of this work is to show how you can apply to the Mesopotamian literary texts dealing with the issue of suffering, pain and discomfort-disgrace, the theoretical and methodological tools of medical anthropology. An anthropological approach to the problem of illness in Mesopotamia can understand, in a deeper sense, the symbolic, socio-cultural and political complexity. The essay provides much food for though…

Un amico ha fatto questo. Simone Weil e l'amicizia eretica
2019
Pure friendship as an implicit form of God’s love is the one in which we observe the freedom of man to choose bonds that do not have the defective character of need and necessity. The reflection of God’s love in a man capable of such freedom puts man himself in a position to be master of his own field and to keep the tares so as not to damage wheat until the time of harvest. Until the moment in which love is recognized the search for a good that coincides with that of the other and that does not know restrictions and limitations of freedom.
Dimensionality and factorial invariance of religiosity among Christians and the religiously unaffiliated: A cross-cultural analysis based on the Inte…
2019
We present a study of the dimensionality and factorial invariance of religiosity for 26 countries with a Christian heritage, based on the 1998 and 2008 rounds of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) Religion survey, using both exploratory and multi-group confirmatory factor analyses. The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that three factors, common to Christian and religiously unaffiliated respondents, could be extracted from our initially selected items and suggested the testing of four different three-factor models using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis. For the model with the best fit and measurement invariance properties, we labeled the three resulting…
Guillem Godi, "Si·l gen cors d’estieu es remas" (BdT 219.1)
2018
This article offers a new edition, based on Occitan Chansonnier R, of the canso-sirventes Si·l gen cors d’estieu es remas by the troubadour Guillem Godi. Moving from a textual and documentary analysis, as well as a material-philological perspective, the lectura proposes a later date for the composition (late 13th - early 14th century); moreover, a possible identification of the author with the cardinal Guillem de Peire Godin (1260-1336) is cautiously suggested.
Hezbollah: storia del Partito di Dio
2015
Il libro è pensato come una ricostruzione della storia del Partito di Dio a partire dalla sua nascita (1985) sino ai giorni nostri e più nello specifico sino al 2009, anno di pubblicazione dell’ultimo manifesto ideologico ufficiale ad oggi disponibile. L’opera è immaginata con lo scopo di ripercorrere l’evoluzione di Hezbollah contestualizzando di volta in volta il suo agire ed il suo pensiero, mantenendo come principale punto di riferimento i documenti in arabo pubblicati dagli organi ufficiali del Partito di Dio. The book is conceived as a reconstruction of the history of the Party of God starting from its birth (1985) up to the present day and more specifically up to 2009, the year of pu…
Il culto dei gatti in India. Continuità ed evoluzione di credenze e pratiche religiose dall’India vedica all’India contemporanea
2019
Cat as an animal is a sporadic presence in Vedic mythology and Brahmanic works on rituals, while it appears in a few cult practices of contemporary popular religiosity in India. This article holds that in Indian devotional practices, the cat is conceived as an animal with an ambiguous nature. It also suggests that the cat cult is linked with the need to tame chaos, violence, and con$ict, and to place them in a controlled, orderly, and pacified cosmos. To understand these phenomena, this article studies, from a multidisciplinary perspective, contemporary religious practices in the light of the Indian tradition, and suggests that the cat cult was subject to substantial Brahmanization.
Pensare con le mani:il modello storiografico di Jean-Luc Godard in dialogo con la fenomenologia della percezione di Merleau-Ponty
2012
Si può ritenere questo testo una proposta concettuale che si sviluppa parallelamente alla carriera accademica dell'autrice perché costituisce la rielaborazione di un nucleo teorico che, per esigenze di ricerca dottorale, era stato messo in sordina in attesa di un recupero o una riscoperta. Il saggio, impostato secondo il tradizionale accostamento di temi filosofici alla produzione di celebri registi tanto caro alla produzione dei Cahiers du Cinéma, viene proposto come possibile primo passo di una riflessione a puntate sulle tematiche inerenti il cinema e la filosofia della percezione.
