Znaczenie błogosławieństwa w ewangelickiej i katolickiej nauce o małżeństwie
2019
Na wielu miejscach ewangelickie i katolickie teksty liturgiczne używane podczas zawierania ślubu mówią o błogosławieństwie. Także powszedni język stosowany w obydwu środowiskach kościelnych nie stroni od życzeń „błogosławieństwa”. W tej kategorii współczesne ujęcia teologii małżeństwa widzą możliwości nowych rozwiązań ekumenicznych. „Błogosławieństwo” miałoby stanowić bazę dla teologii małżeństw mieszanych, zwłaszcza ewangelicko-katolickich. Weryfiując tę tezę, tekst artykułu najpierw stara się określić bliżej biblijne rozumienie błogosławieństwa, następnie miejsce błogosławieństwa w tekstach liturgicznych stosowanych przez ewangelików i katolików przy zawieraniu małżeństw, jego wymiary uzn…
Politica al femminile. Margherita Bontade militante democristiana nella Sicilia dei primi anni della Repubblica
2014
Margherita Bontade è una tra le più singolari figure di donne impegnate in politica nella Sicilia del Secondo Dopoguerra; tra le poche ad aver trovato spazio nella cerchia dei potenti democristiani del tempo, occupati ad opporsi all’avanzata dei partiti del Blocco del Popolo, con la benedizione delle gerarchie della Chiesa Cattolica. Le sue fortune elettorali dipendono, da un lato, al suo stretto legame con la Curia e al rapporto personale con il Cardinale di Palermo Ernesto Ruffini; d’altro lato, all’alleanza politica prima con Bernardo Mattarella e poi con Franco Restivo. La sua fulminante carriera politica che si snoda nell’arco di un ventennio – tra la fine degli anni ’40 e la fine degl…
The turbulence of images: On imagery, media and ethnographic discourse
1997
As the anthropological theory of politeness has put it, people have universally two kinds of social want. They wish to be close to others, liked and accepted, but they also want some distance, freedom from imposition and respect of mutual difference. These wants, which one may also call basic human rights, are however often violated, and images play an important role in this. Images are ultimately generated in the human mind and may find verbal as well as written and pictorial representation. Tyler [1978] has proposed a typology of mental images based on criteria of conscious control, completeness, abstraction, media and autonomy. These criteria also prove useful when probing into prototypi…

Abstract Information technology (IT) engagement is defined as a need to spend more time using IT. Practice-based examples show that IT engagement can have adverse effects in organizations. Although users can potentially get more work done through IT engagement, observations show that the users might jeopardize their well-being and hamper their work performance. We aimed to investigate this complexity in the research on IT engagement by examining its potential antecedents and outcomes in organizations. Considering the potentially mixed outcomes, we developed a model to examine the effects of IT engagement on personal productivity and strain. We also aimed to explain the antecedents of IT eng…
Asimmetrie di genere e di razza in The Grass is Singing di Doris Lessing
2011
Published in the early 1950s, The Grass is Singing (1950), the first work by Doris Lessing (who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2007), through the deconstruction of certain normative characters traditionally attributed to Englishness, anticipates in its narrative plot some of those founding issues that, in the decades to come, would be explored both by the theoretical-critical writings of Second Wave Feminism and within that complex study field which became known over the Seventies, such as (post-) colonial studies. In the novel, the body of the white colonial woman living in the colonies is depicted as the site of opposite tensions and the traditional homogeneity of the group…
The White Woman’s Haunted Body in Doris Lessing’s The Grass Is Singing
2012
Underpinned by an interpretative grid where the analytic categories of gender and race are interwoven, the paper contends that Doris Lessing’s first novel, The Grass Is Singing (1950), unveils and dismantles culturally-constructed inscriptions of the white female body as elaborated within the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British colonial discourses and largely reproduced at folk level. Exploring Lessing’s robust delineation of the entanglements of gendered sexuality and race-biased social constraints as active in the colonial context, the paper also suggests that the novel problematizes and recasts traditional British identity configurations from an authorial perspective which po…

Representation of Latvian Mithology in works of Hilda Vika
2013
The paper includes the study on activities of the Latvian painter and writer Hilda Vika - Eglīte (1897-1963) in the field of visual art (mostly painting) connected with Latvian mythology. Latvian myth characters and themes came into H. Vika’s creative work after 1930 when she married writer and reviewer Viktors Eglitis and resorted to “Dievturība” (Latvian Neopagan religious movement based on folklore, old folk songs and mythology). Actively and productively working H. Vika participated in numerous group art exhibitions. Her individual vision, decorative solutions of composition and stylized details brought in Latvian painting unusual and essentially different intonations being contemporary…
