Argumentativeness and political participation: A cross-cultural analysis in the United States and Turkey
2013
This study is an examination of the relationship between argumentativeness and political participation and the moderating effect of nationality on this relationship. Through a survey analysis of 801 individuals in the United States (592) and Turkey (209), the following was found: Americans are more argumentative than Turks, Turks participate more in politics than Americans, argumentativeness and political participation are not significantly correlated, and nationality does not significantly affect the relationship between argumentativeness and political participation. Cultural differences between the United States and Turkey are discussed as reasons for differences between the two nations i…
Artes marciales japonesas: prácticas corporales representativas de su identidad cultural
2011
La implantación y difusión de las artes marciales japonesas en Occidente supuso la importación de prácticas socioculturales privadas de las premisas de su contexto de origen. ¿Cómo afrontar estas prácticas que son ajenas a nuestra identidad cultural? Una interpretación estricta exige entenderlas como prácticas corporales con una idiosincrasia cultural, caracterizadas por incorporar una experiencia vivencial en la que el cuerpo ocupa un lugar preeminente. Su enseñanza y aprendizaje se establecen a través de un sistema triangular integrado por una esencia espiritual, una forma técnica y una estructura física (sin-gi-tai), que se inserta en un proceso singular (shu-ha-ri).
Modi di abitare, tipi e varianti: alcune riflessioni sulla cultura abitativa ellenistico-romana in Sicilia
2020
After a brief survey on the previous studies on the Sicilian domestic architecture of the hellenistic and Roman periods, this paper questions the idea of a continuous development of the Greek house's central space, from the simple court to the peristyle, as well as the opposition between “centripetal”and “axial” (i.e. the Greek peristyle house and the Roman atrium house). This rigid distinction doesn't take in account the existence of an hybrid form of the court that doesn't fit well in these comfortable cathegories: the “tetrastylon”. Sicilian houses are reconsidered in order to establish if this and other single houses' features can be labelled as “Punic”, “Greek” or “Roman” or if this is…

The White Stone of South-Eastern Sicily: Urban and Territorial Identity
2017
La Sicilia è un territorio fortemente "segnato" dall'impiego massiccio della ricca varietà di materiali lapidei che la natura ha messo a disposizione: materia prima dalle differenti qualità petrografiche, colore, caratteristiche tecniche e con una vasta possibilità di impiego, sia come elemento costruttivo sia come pietra ornamentale. La "pietra bianca" di Siracusa, il basalto dell'Etna, la "pietra forte" del ragusano, la pietra di Sabucina di Caltanissetta e Niscemi, le calcareniti e le rocce tufacee delle cave di Carini e Aspra, il calcare grigio di billiemi nel palermitano e il tufo calcareo di Agrigento, caratterizzano gran parte degli insediamenti antropici dell'isola, espressione di u…
Les figures du trauma chez Simone de Beauvoir
2018
The work of de Beauvoir expresses the trauma of being unable to reach the Absolute by an introverted individual, breaking with the image of the writer as an eternal optimist, whose life was filled with pleasures and journeys. Considering her individualism, this article will take an interdisciplinary view at the contrast between the desire for existence and its absence, the search for identity and the dialectic of existentialism. Selected autobiographical works and essays will illustrate how the trauma in the discourse of the writer manifests itself through fear, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, or suffering, expressing loss of faith, despair, internal crisis, and obsession with death, which ar…
Being oneself through time: Bases of self-continuity across 55 cultures
2017
Çalışmada 60 yazar bulunmaktadır. Bu yazarlardan sadece Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi mensuplarının girişleri yapılmıştır. Self-continuity - the sense that one's past, present, and future are meaningfully connected - is considered a defining feature of personal identity. However, bases of self-continuity may depend on cultural beliefs about personhood. In multilevel analyses of data from 7287 adults from 55 cultural groups in 33 nations, we tested a new tripartite theoretical model of bases of self-continuity. As expected, perceptions of stability, sense of narrative, and associative links to one's past each contributed to predicting the extent to which people derived a sense of self-continuity…
Verso una nuova cultura di Bildung: l’approccio biografico-narrativo come metodologia formativa
2020
Teoria e prassi, azione e riflessione, oggetto e soggetto, cura d’altri e cura di sé, sono i pilastri di una pedagogia volta alla Bildung intesa come tensione spirituale dell’io e coscienza di una crescita interiore cui ogni uomo può e deve elevarsi alla sua vera condizione umana. Questo lavoro si divide in due parti: la prima parte è volta a delineare una ricostruzione storica del concetto di Bildung, soffermandosi principalmente sul senso e sul significato che Edith Stein ha offerto al mondo della pedagogia; nella seconda parte del lavoro, si vuole identificare l’importanza di adottare la tecnica riflessiva della narrazione autobiografica per far emergere la validità che essa possiede nel…
Multilayered cultural identity and the perception of the self
2012
This qualitative study examines the reciprocal relationship between a person’s multilayered cultural identity (MCI) and the concept of self (CoS), that is presented purely on a theoretical level and encompasses various theories. Nowadays, in an increasingly globalising world, it is not enough to merely look at a national, ethnic or other type of identity. It is important to realise that there are different layers in an identity that one can view themselves through. The ways an individual perceives themselves through their multicultural background can also be different. This thesis helps identify the ways a person can see themselves. The thesis also attempts to explain the varied nature of o…
“Two Schools under one Roof” in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Exploring the challenges of group identity and deliberative values among Bosniak and Croat st…
2014
Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore the challenge of engaging Bosniak and Croat students in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in deliberative democracy within the context “two schools under one roof,” students receiving education in the same school building, yet attending separate classes and following distinct curricula. Findings suggest that group identity for Bosniak students was strongly tied to “being Bosnian” while Croat students expressed ambivalence and unease about their identity, balancing feelings between having their home in BiH and maintaining their Croat roots. The students’ relationships were complicated by an imbalance in perceptions of power, discriminatory attitud…
