O. Aleksandra Krzysztofa Sitnika OFM badania nad dziejami polskich bernardynów (dorobek historiograficzny 2006–2019)
2020
O. Aleksander Krzysztof Sitnik OFM (ur. 1971 r.) należy do franciszkańskiej gałęzi Zakonu Braci Mniejszych prowincji Niepokalanego Poczęcia NMP, nazywanych w Polsce bernardynami. W swoich pracach podejmuje zagadnienia dotyczące szeroko rozumianych dziejów prowincji bernardyńskich Zakonu Braci Mniejszych w Polsce, począwszy od 1453 r. Badania te poświęca dziejom poszczególnych klasztorów z gałęzi męskiej i żeńskiej, a ich dyskurs historyczny doprowadza do czasów współczesnych, ponieważ, jak sam uważa, atmosfera po 1945 r. nie sprzyjała wydawaniu dzieł analizujących dzieje Kościoła w Polsce, ani tym bardziej zgłębiających działalność zakonów. Autor prowadzi także badania naukowe z pogranicza …
"Dżafar z Bagdadu" Janusza Makarczyka jako cenne źródło wiedzy o historii i literaturze arabskiej epoki Abbasydów
2018
This article deals with Janusz Makarczyk’s bestselling historical romance Jafar of Baghdad, first published in 1950. Makarczyk had a varied career as a journalist, travel writer of the ‘globtrotter school’, military officer, diplomat and academic; his deep involvement with the Middle East and Arab history began in the 1926 when he was sent to the Polish consulate in Jerusalem. The life of Jafar ibn Yahya provided him not only with enough material for a gripping story of love and romance but also a pretext for painting a broad canvas of historical events and personages. Addressed to younger readers, the book is didactic in the sense that it offers them basic information about Islam (e.g. the…
Ses racines et son développement de 1820 à 1920
2017
The aim of the study is to examine the Saami book history in the context of Finland in order to understand its evolution from 1820 to 1920. The study focuses on books and other printed materials in Saami language(s) (or idioms) and it looks into archival documents to throw light on their intellectual history. The Saami book history has unfolded slowly, and occasionally, it has appeared to fall into decline. The present study follows the French school of book history that uses multidisciplinary methods to examine books as a reflection of ideology in the context of a given culture at a given time. Such an approach allows us to see how a minority can express itself, what possibilities there ar…

The Taboo of the Perverse Dying Body
2014
A human being is continuously living towards death within a mortal body that is dying little by little, second after second. In the gloss of popular media, the taboo reality of this stain of mortality is hidden by a diversion, which is created by the multiple pornographies of visual culture: the pornography of perfect bodies and the pornography of violent death. No longer invisible or ‘unspeakable’, the taboo body has been appropriated to serve a function in the mainstream didactics. Both the lusus naturae of natural bodies and the decay of sickness and death are squeezed into such roles in the postmodern visual narrative that the mortality of the human being appears unlikely and accidental…

Dos llenguatges de traducció diferents: les dues versions de Josep Carner d’«El malalt imaginari» (1905/1909 i 1921)
2015
En aquest article es presenta una comparació crítica detallada dels llenguatges que va posar en joc Josep Carner en dues versions diferents d’El malalt imaginari de Molière. La primera, publicada l’any 1909, havia estat feta el 1905 per a una producció d’Adrià Gual; la segona va aparèixer el 1921 en una col·lecció d’obres literàries en traducció que dirigia Carner mateix, la Biblioteca Literària. És interessant de comparar-ne les solucions perquè aquest no és un simple cas de revisió, sinó un cas de retraducció, amb molts aspectes culturals implicats. Pompeu Fabra havia dut a terme en aquests anys una renovació severa i completa de la llengua escrita. Carner va canviar la seva concepció res…
Problemes de la història social de la llengua dels segles XIX i XX
1999
Reflections on the conditions, contents and methodology of the social history of Catalan, reflections which deal with the 19th and 20th centuries, but go beyond these periods. From a perspective close to that of the sociology of knowledge, the author points out the limitations that threaten the status of this discipline. He points out some problems both in method and exegesis, such as access to data, reliability of these data, interdisciplinary collaboration, the conceptual scope of linguistic change, the distinction between facts and interpretations, and periodization.
Impact of Mediterranean Diet on Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Longevity
2021
The average life expectancy of the world population has increased remarkably in the past 150 years and it is still increasing. A long life is a dream of humans since the beginning of time but also a dream is to live it in good physical and mental condition. Nutrition research has focused on recent decades more on food combination patterns than on individual foods/nutrients due to the possible synergistic/antagonistic effects of the components in a dietary model. Various dietary patterns have been associated with health benefits, but the largest body of evidence in the literature is attributable to the traditional dietary habits and lifestyle followed by populations from the Mediterranean re…
