Post-Supernatural Cultures: There and Back Again
2020
The abandonment of supernatural religious beliefs and rituals seems to occur quite easily in some contexts, but post-supernaturalist cultures require a specific set of conditions that are difficult to produce and sustain on a large scale and thus are historically rare. Despite the worldwide resurgence of supernaturalist religion, some subcultures reliably produce people who deny the existence of supernatural entities. This social phenomenon has evoked competing explanations, many of which enjoy empirical support. We synthesize six of the most influential social-science explanations, demonstrating that they provide complementary perspectives on a complex causal architecture. We incorporate t…
Amores humanos, amores divinos. La Vita Christi de sor Isabel de Villena
2014
La Vita Christi de Sor Isabel de Villena es un texto de enorme relevancia escrito en la Edad Media. Basado en la Vita Christi de Ludolfo de Sajonia, el Cartujano, puede en realidad interpretarse como una Vita Mariae, pues en él se presta atención particular al papel de la Virgen en la vida de Cristo. Este artículo analiza los paralelos entre esta obra y las prosas mitológicas de Joan Roís de Corella. En los dos puede verse un interés en temas amorosos y en la descripción de los afectos y el mundo interior emocional de los personajes. The Vita Christi by Sor Isabel de Villena is a paramount text written in medieval Iberia. Based on the Vita Christi by Ludolf of Saxony (the Carthusian), the w…
The EU-Ukraine Association Agreement prior to the Vilnius Eastern Partnership Summit

Poesia, ritual i cant per a la festa: l'univers creatiu i festiu dels poemes de vesticions i professions al convent de carmelites descalces de Barcel…
2016
In this essay we address one of the most important poetic subgenres in the tradition of Carmelite women: the works composed for ceremonies of vestition and solemn profession in which the nuns left behind his mundane life and opened a new life as the wife of Jesus. First of all, we provide a general overview of the customs and functions of the poetry in the Discalced Carmelites, which has been already analysed in the context of the Hispanic literature, but rarely from the perspective of the Catalan area. Secondly, we present and contextualize a corpus of twenty-five unpublished compositions on vestitions and professions, copied in the manuscript of the Discalced Carmelites of Barcelona. En a…
Key CDO functions for successful digital transformation: Insights from a Delphi study
2022
Financiado para publicación en acceso aberto: Universidade de Vigo/CISUG Given that the Chief Digital Office (CDO) is a new business position, it is not yet clear what the key functions they must develop to successfully undertake the company digital transformation process.

The aim of this paper is to fill this gap by (1) clarifying the key CDO functions through a Delphi study, validated by a digital dynamic capabilities (DDC) framework (Warner and Wäger 2019), and (2) presenting a measurement instrument useful for assessing the degree of the key CDO fu…

Sobre la presència de Boccaccio en el Curial e Güelfa: la novella X.8
2013
Resum: Les darreres investigacions sobre la novel·la cavalleresca catalana Curial e Guelfa subratllen de forma unanime la qualitat literaria de l’obra i la riquesa de la cultura literaria del seu autor, en especial en relacio als autors classics i italians. Entre els italians, nombrosos estudiosos han remarcat el paper cabdal de Boccaccio, i en particular del Decameron , com a model d’escriptura i com a intermediari de la tradicio classica, per a l’autor anonim catala. En aquest treball oferim una mostra de la presencia de la novella X.8 en el text catala, tot resseguint ambdues narracions, i observant l’encaix en el nou context narratiu que duu a terme l’autor anonim del Curial . Aixo ens …
Todo tosco y sin labrar: el model conventual de santa Teresa i el seu reflex en la normativa arquitectònica de l’orde carmelità descalç
2015
Resum: El concepte de vida de clausura plantejat per santa Teresa va determinar la naturalesa de les edificacions escomeses en el si de la congregació de carmelites descalços. La senzillesa i l’estretor requerits per la fundadora en l’establiment dels nous convents esdevingueren preceptes d’obligat compliment per part de les autoritats de l’orde, i quedaren recollits en les diverses constitucions internes generades al llarg dels segles XVI, XVII i XVIII. Aquest article analitza els models constructius establerts des dels inicis de l’existència de la congregació i la manera en què van ser aplicats amb posterioritat. Paraules clau: santa Teresa, carmelites descalços, normativa, convent, traça…
Sobre la fortuna de Boccaccio en la tradición peninsular. Las primeras traducciones catalanas y la incorporación de la misoginia en Cataluña
2013
Resum: Con la traduccion al catalan de Il Corbaccio por el mercader Narcis Franch (1498) se inicia una doble corriente peninsular de misoginia y feminismo. Sus argumentos pasaron a formar parte del pensamiento misogino defendido por el Arciprestre de Talavera, Bernat Metge, Jaume Roig, Francesc Eiximenis y Pere Torrelles. Sin embargo, esta tendencia de vituperio e invectiva contra las mujeres tuvo tambien sus detractores, lo que origino la llamada «querella de las mujeres» en defensa de sus valores. Hombres y mujeres como Christine de Pizan, Teresa de Cartagena, Isabel, Enrique de Villena y Rodriguez del Padron atacaron la reprobacion sistematica del sexo femenino, basandose en el De claris…
