Controvèrsia inquisitorial al segle XVIII entorn de la pintura d’una beata estigmatitzada
2016
Resum: L’any 1738, un frare del convent de Sant Domingo de Palma havia de defensar unes «Conclusions literaries» teologiques, dedicades a la beata dominica Llucia de Narni. El full de propaganda de l’acte que s’havia repartit duia impresa una lamina de la beata, amb les llagues dels estigmes a les mans i al costat. El tribunal de la inquisicio, arran d’una denuncia dels franciscans observants, va manar que se suspengues aquest acte academic. Els dominics apel·laren a Madrid i a Roma. Aquest es un exemple mes de com les dones -a mes d’altres estigmatitzats- foren victimes de l’actitud monopolista dels franciscans, aixi com una expressio dels enfrontaments cronics entre els ordes mendicants m…
La coronación de Agustín I de México en los sermones religiosos impresos
2020
Este artículo analiza los cuatro sermones publicados sobre la coronación del militar Agustín de Iturbide como emperador del Imperio mexicano, que tuvo lugar en la catedral metropolitana el 21 de julio de 1822. A través de dichos documentos se estudian los referentes político-culturales y religiosos que manejaron los autores eclesiásticos a la hora de legitimar al nuevo emperador y explicar el proceso que había llevado hasta su coronación. Las opiniones que sostuvieron permiten un acercamiento a las interpretaciones que realizaron sobre la independencia del país, así como al modelo de gobierno que idearon. También se observan las pretensiones de buscar un encaje privilegiado para la Iglesia …
Staging Death: Christofascist Necropolitics during the National Legionary State in Romania, 1940–1941
2020
AbstractThe cult of death and the celebration of martyrdom lay at the core of interwar fascist movements across the European continent. However, it was in the Romanian Legionary Movement (also known as the Iron Guard) that these were articulated into a full-fledged ideology of thanatic ultranationalism. In this article, I examine the spectacular fascist necropolitics staged as state-sponsored funeral performances during the short-lived National Legionary State (September 14, 1940–February 14, 1941). A detailed description of the massive campaign of exhumations and reburials of the so-called “legionary martyrs” carried out during this short time span, culminating with the grandiose ceremony …

“Things which don’t shift and grow are dead things”: Revisiting Betonie’s Waste-Lands in Leslie Silko’s Ceremony
2014
This article explores the socio-political background that led to widespread Native American urban relocation in the period following World War II – a historical episode which is featured in Leslie Marmon Silko’s acclaimed novel Ceremony (1977). Through an analysis of the recycling, reinterpreting practices carried out by one of Ceremony’s memorable supporting characters, Navajo healer Betonie, Silko’s political aim to interrogate the state of things and to re-value Native traditions in a context of ongoing relations of coloniality is made most clear. In Silko’s novel, Betonie acts as an organic intellectual who is able to identify and challenge the 1950s neocolonial structure that forced Na…
The power of stories in Pediatrics and Genetics
2016
On the occasion of the opening ceremony of the 43rd Sicilian Congress of Pediatrics, linked with Italian Society of Pediatrics SIP, SIN, SIMEUP, SIAIP and SINP, held in Catania in November 2015, the Organizing Committee dedicated a tribute to Professor John Opitz and invited him to give a Masters Lecture for the attendees at the Congress. The theme expounded was “Storytelling in Pediatrics and Genetics: Lessons from Aesop and from Mendel”. The contribution of John Opitz to the understanding of pediatric clinical disorders and genetic anomalies has been extremely relevant. The interests of Professor John Opitz are linked not only to genetic disorders but also extend to historical medicine, h…
Lawrence Kelso Frank's Proto Ayresian Dichotomy: A Note
2003
This paper explores Lawrence Kelso Frank's contribution to the evolution of the so called Veblenian dichotomy. According to this apprach, peculiar to the institutional framework of every economic system is an absolute and irreconcilable tension between the dynamic and progressive force of technology on the one side, and the static and conservative structure of ceremony and institutions on the other. The first section examines Frank's adoption of behavioristic psychology in connection with the main changes which were taking place in the American social sciences during the first decades of the twentieth century. The second section describes Frank's theory of institutional change, emphasizing …
