An inherited name as the foundation of a person's identity: How the memory of a dead person lived on in the names of his or her descendants
2012
A personal name has always played a central role in the formation of an individual’s identity. In addition to the surname, the forename also defined his or her place within the family community, which for most people was the most important target in the identification process, especially in the early modern period. The identities of the persons in rural families were also to a great extent based on personal names inherited from forebears and the images thus created. In this article, I examine to what extent the naming practices of the population in the hinterland Finnish countryside and the identities created by them were connected with ancestors. The study spans a quite long period, from t…
Using the concept of onomastic literacy as an analytical tool : A methodological examination of the names of European royal families
2022
Onomastic literacy (the skills needed to interpret the cultural and social phenomena and meanings related to name-giving) are part of a person’s cultural capital. I use this concept, which I have developed, to study personal names in family networks and in royal families in particular. This research combines the approaches and methodologies of collective biography, microhistory and the history of mentalities. The concept of onomastic literacy helps us to contextualize the lives of the research objects more closely as part of the cultures and local communities of their times, thereby revealing the deep-rooted motives behind name choices and the slow change in mentalities affecting naming. pe…
Gradings on the algebra of upper triangular matrices of size three
2013
Abstract Let UT 3 ( F ) be the algebra of 3 × 3 upper triangular matrices over a field F . On UT 3 ( F ) , up to isomorphism, there are at most five non-trivial elementary gradings and we study the graded polynomial identities for such gradings. In case F is of characteristic zero we give a complete description of the space of multilinear graded identities in the language of Young diagrams through the representation theory of a Young subgroup of S n . We finally compute the multiplicities in the graded cocharacter sequence for every elementary G -grading on UT 3 ( F ) .
Support for collective action against refugees: The role of national, European, and global identifications, and autochthony beliefs
2019
To understand recent anti-refugee protests in Europe, we examined how different levels of inclusiveness of group identities (national, European, and global) are related to intentions to protest among native Europeans. We focused on the mediating role of autochthony (a belief that the first inhabitants of a territory are more entitled) and the moderating role of threat. Survey data from 11 European countries (N=1909) showed that national identification was positively associated with autochthony, and therefore, with the intention to protest against refugees. In contrast, global identification was related to lower protest intentions via lower autochthony. These paths were found only among Euro…
Çështja e gjuhës greke gjatë gjysmës së dytë të shekullit XVIII dhe kontributi i Tommaso Stanislao Velastit për lëvizjen e filohelenizmit napolitan
2022
Il saggio ricostruisce l'attività intellettuale di T. S. Velasti e illumina il suo contributo alla definizione della questione della lingua greca alla luce della documentazione inedita conservata presso l'Archivio del Seminario Greco Albanese di Palermo, dove trovò riparo dopo la soppressione della Compagnia di Gesù in Sicilia nel 1767. The essay reconstructs the intellectual activity of T. S. Velasti and illuminates his contribution to the definition of the question of the Greek language in the light of the unpublished documentation preserved in the Archives of the Greek Albanian Seminary in Palermo, where he found shelter after the suppression of the Society of Jesus in Sicily in 1767.
Building Teacher Identity in a New Partnership Project, - Multiple Perspectives
2014
This paper explores the process of identity building among novice student teachers enrolled in a newly established partnership project embedded in a four-year Norwegian teacher education program. The empirical evidence in the study is drawn from a case study where interviews were the main method of gathering data. The analysis of narratives from the interviews is premised on multiple perspectives. The findings are presented as a reconstructed story with a plot in which the novice student teachers are the chief protagonists. The study illuminates both catalysts and inhibitors of student teachers´ identity building in the caring contexts of teaching practice and threatening contexts of theory…
Asymptotics for Graded Capelli Polynomials
2014
The finite dimensional simple superalgebras play an important role in the theory of PI-algebras in characteristic zero. The main goal of this paper is to characterize the T 2-ideal of graded identities of any such algebra by considering the growth of the corresponding supervariety. We consider the T 2-ideal Γ M+1,L+1 generated by the graded Capelli polynomials C a p M+1[Y,X] and C a p L+1[Z,X] alternanting on M+1 even variables and L+1 odd variables, respectively. We prove that the graded codimensions of a simple finite dimensional superalgebra are asymptotically equal to the graded codimensions of the T 2-ideal Γ M+1,L+1, for some fixed natural numbers M and L. In particular csupn(Γk2+l2+1…
All changed, changed utterly: endangered identities in Autumn by Ali Smith.
2019
The essay intends to look at the well-known book,Autumn, by Ali Smith, shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and analyse the ways in which the debates leading to as well as the events following the 2016 Brexit referendum contribute to the writing of a desfunctional narration in which borders, domestic spaces and identities are questioned on a daily basis. The essay argues that there is strong link between the making of the story and the deconstruction of a national identity: the fragile exploration of anxieties of belonging and nationhood opens up a space for thought through words, inviting the reader to think about the relationship between language, space and time and affirming the importance …
