Religious comfort and anxiety in women with cancer: The mediating role of hope and moderating role of religious struggle
2018
OBJECTIVE Religiosity is an important source of consolation among individuals suffering from cancer. However, religion does not always bring comfort. Religious struggles elicit stress. We examined whether religious comfort predicts anxiety in patients diagnosed as having cancer. Hope was examined as a mediator and religious struggle as a moderator in this relationship. METHODS In this cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical research, 77 Polish women with cancer were selected using sequential convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Religious Comfort and Strain Scale, the Adult Hope Scale, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. A statistical procedure using Pearson's correlation c…

Seneca on the Mother Cow: Poetic Models and Natural Philosophy in the Consolation to Marcia
2020
Seneca’s Consolation to Marcia embraces the orthodox Stoic view that, when unduly protracted, grief reflects a logical misunderstanding of the natural world, human life, and the limits of the self. Seneca is aware that persuading Marcia to leave her false beliefs is the only way to reawaken her interest in communal life, family reciprocity, and constructive memory. He conceives his consolatory writing as an intellectually engaging didactic work tailored to the needs and disposition of his addressee. The main purpose of the present paper is to show that in this and several other respects the Consolation to Marcia makes a conscious move towards the different but evidently related genre of did…
The teacher's lap – a site of emotional well-being for the younger children in day-care groups
2014
This study focuses on a particular relationship between teachers and one- to three-year-old children: the child in the teacher's lap. When, in what situations, does this happen? Who are the children in the teacher's lap? Why are they there? How do children express emotional well-being when in the teacher's lap? Relational, sociocultural and revised attachment approaches to emotional well-being supplied the theoretical framework of the study. Data were collected by ethnographic methods and analysed qualitatively. Two day-care groups in Finland participated. For most of the day, at least one child was in a teacher's lap. The teacher's lap signified, for example, not only consolation and confi…
Non tamen indignum Borgaei dicere laudes/ Caesaris? (T. Strozzi, Serm. 1, 120-1) : L?éloge épique de César Borgia dans l??uvre d?Ercole Strozzi (Ferr…
2017
Resume: La poesie hexametrique d’E. Strozzi, poete neolatin fort prise pour sa maitrise de la versification et son innutrition achevee des sources latines, offre deux apologies de Cesar Borgia. L’une, breve (d’une soixantaine de vers), incluse dans un epyllion cynegetique de plus de 900 vers, campe le Valentinois de son vivant en chasseur et conquerant magnanime. L’autre prend la forme d’un long epicede (492 v.). Certes E. Strozzi applique dans ce poeme funebre epidictique les conventions du genre (lamentations, eloge du defunt, exhortation et consolation a la dedicataire, Lucrece Borgia, duchesse de Ferrare), toutefois le choix de l’hexametre et le recours systematique aux procedes et aux …
El «Poema del otoño», de Rubén Darío, consolación de la poesía
2017
El trabajo insiste en el carácter fundacional de la obra de Darío en la poesía hispana debido, entre otras razones, a su poética especialmente dialogante. Poesía humanamente docta y erudita, el «Poema del otoño» pretende otorgar consuelo ante la idea de la muerte. En un contexto secularizado, Darío busca dar cuerpo a un nuevo absoluto, un arte que venza tiempo y espacio. La consolatio asume el tópico del carpe diem, pues el goce de la carne, como la contemplación de la belleza del mundo, como el placer del canto, no solo son experiencias sensibles, sino también simbólicas, que permiten intuir o recordar el orden íntegro y armónico del universo. This work focuses in the foundational role of …
Śródziemnomorskie kody polskości w twórczości Jana Parandowskiego
2020
One is used to regarding Jan Parandowski (1895–1978) as a great connoisseur of the ancient world and a kind of “Olympic” writer with a distance to his own time and space. A thorough exam-ination of his literary essays, short stories and novels hardly proves this opinion. Treating Polish his-tory and culture, especially of the Renaissance epoch, as originating from and inspired by the ancient Roman/Greek tradition (“Poland is situated in the Mediterranean”), he conceals at the same time an evidently emotional approach to national legacy. There are several modes in which he evokes unique Polish history in the 19th century, with the great but problematic heritage of Romanticism as well as the …
Healing Grief: A Commentary on Seneca's Consolatio ad Marciam
2023
Both our view of Seneca’s philosophical thought and our approach to the ancient consolatory genre have radically changed since the latest commentary on the Consolatio ad Marciam was written in 1981. The aim of this work is to offer a new book-length commentary on the earliest of Seneca’s extant writings, along with a revision of the Latin text and a reassessment of Seneca’s intellectual program, strategies, and context. A crucial document to penetrate Seneca’s discourse on the self in its embryonic stages, the Ad Marciam is here taken seriously as an engaging attempt to direct the persuasive power of literary models and rhetorical devices toward the fundamentally moral project of healing Ma…
Las versiones castellanas medievales de la Consolatio Philosophiae de Boecio
2016
Boecio fue uno de los autores más influyentes en la Baja Edad Media hispánica. Su obra más importante, la Consolatio Philosophiae, fue el texto traducido en más ocasiones, el segundo en número de manuscritos vernáculos conservados y la obra de la Antigüedad con mayor número de impresiones en época incunable. La nómina de autores que se sirvieron de la Consolatio como fuente directa o influencia clave en cuanto a forma o contenido incluye a los más destacados escritores de la literatura catalana y castellana; es, además, una presencia inexcusable en algunos de los géneros más populares en la literatura cuatrocentista, como los tratados sobre predestinación, fortuna y libre albedrío, los trat…
