Developing Moral Competence in Higher Education
2014
In the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), moral and ethical competence is nearly absent from curricula development criteria. The recovery and incorporation of moral competence is an essential reflection: by integrating the ethical or moral dimensions of knowledge with the intellectual and technical dimensions, higher education can more effectively respond to the needs of society. This chapter affirms that the concept of habit offers an innovative perspective on human behavior that can contribute towards a more complete understanding and development of the concept of competence, and specifically of “moral competence” for both the sciences and social sciences.
Teaching the Sensitive Stuff: Does Industry Matter? Issues in Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability
2015
In this chapter, Teaching the sensitive stuff: Does industry matter? Issues in Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability, Harald Knudsen and Alessandro Frigerio discuss the relation between business behaviour and morality. It is a provocative chapter that makes important links with CSR debates. The message on the core themes of Higher Education and Sustainability lies in making students aware of how misuse of power and influence can develop within businesses. The chapter argues against a theoretical approach that assumes that the market functions equally well in all situations. Rather, experience shows that industry matters.
Education and the Concept of Time
2013
Abstract As we speak about time in the context of everyday life, we have no problem with what we mean by time. We take time as given. Different kinds of theories of development rely on the ordinary concept of time. Time is a sequence of instants, and we are moving along from the past to the future, from birth to death. Moving in time also means development. It does not take into account how a human being is in the time. It flattens our view of human life and cannot describe our manifold being. According to theories of development, if a child does not behave in a certain instant as the theories expect, there must be a problem with that child or she has not developed as well as others.

<em>L’entramès de Mestre Vicent</em>: resplandor de la autoridad del predicador
2019
El presente artículo aborda múltiples aspectos, algunos inéditos, referentes a l’entramès de Mestre Vicent. Entre los objetivos del estudio descuella la reconstrucción virtual y documentada de aquel carro que, quizá albergando la primera representación de Vicent Ferrer, desfiló en Valencia a finales de 1414 con ocasión de la entrada real de Fernando I. Otras cuestiones de especial relevancia atañen a la autoría del programa iconográfico y al proselitismo que denotaba aquella estructura, cuyos máximos beneficiarios fueron el Trastámara y la propia ciudad. Metodológicamente, se subraya la complejidad que entraña ceñir la interpretación del entremés amparada exclusivamente en la literatura, má…
Històries escrites, històries cantades i històries pintades. Els goigs en el Barroc valencià
2018
Resum: A partir de principis de la setzena centúria, la implantació de la impremta i el consegüent afermament de la tradició escrita propiciaren que els goigs iniciaren, particularment a València, un progressiu procés de difusió. El nou invent facilitava incloure a l’estampació la reproducció de la imatge sagrada a la qual anava dedicada la composició, de manera que, a més de transmetre el text de l’oració, assoliren el valor i funció d’estampes devocionals. No incloïen, però, la música, la qual cosa indicaria que hagué de quedar fiada a la memòria i bon fer interpretatiu dels cantors de les capelles musicals. La posterior implantació dels postulats contrareformistes afavorí la difusió i po…
Gertrude Bonnin on Sexual Morality
2021
This paper examines attitudes to sexual morality held by the Yankton Dakota author and activist Gertrude Bonnin (1876–1938), better known by her penname Zitkála-Šá (Red Bird in Lakota). Bonnin’s concerns encompass several themes: the victimization of Indian women, disintegration of Native courtship rituals, sexual threats posed by peyote use, and the predatory nature of Euro-American men. This critique as a whole — in which a ‘white invasion,’ in her words, leads to a corruption of Native sexuality — sometimes produces inconsistencies, particularly regarding Bonnin’s statements on the alleged sexual perils of peyote. Her investigations into the Oklahoma guardianship scandals of the 1920s, h…
La poliglòssia en la predicació de Vicent Ferrer
2020
Resum: Un bon nombre dels sermons de Vicent Ferrer ens ha arribat gràcies a les còpies de les reportationes que en feien els estenògrafs que l’acompanyaven en els seus viatges missionals per diversos països de l’Europa occidental (1399-1419). No són, per tant, reproduccions fidels de l’oralitat vicentina, però en reflecteixen els trets bàsics. L’anàlisi crítica d’aquests trets i de les declaracions dels testimonis del procés de canonització de Vicent Ferrer (1453-1454) posen de manifest que el dominic valencià, que en la seua predicació sempre tractà d’aproximar-se lingüísticament als oients, adoptà les parles romànics dels països que va recórrer, ja que sabem que, a més del llatí i de la l…
Benevolent and corrective humor, life satisfaction, and broad humor dimensions : extending the nomological network of the BenCor across 25 countries
2020
Indexación: Scopus. Benevolent and corrective humor are two comic styles that have been related to virtue, morality, and character strengths. A previous study also supported the viability of measuring these two styles with the BenCor in 22 countries. The present study extends the previous one by including further countries (a total of 25 countries in 29 samples with N = 7813), by testing the revised BenCor (BenCor-R), and by adding two criterion measures to assess life satisfaction and four broad humor dimensions (social fun/entertaining humor, mockery, humor ineptness, and cognitive/reflective humor). As expected, the BenCor-R showed mostly promising psychometric properties (internal consi…
Amorality, Immorality and Individualism in Hanif Kureishi’s Intimacy
2019
Abstract Hanif Kureishi, an acclaimed contemporary British writer of Pakistani origin, is known to the Romanian reading public primarily through the translations (under the aegis of the Humanitas publishing house) of his novels Intimacy, The Buddha of Suburbia, The Nothing, Gabriel’s Gift and Something to Tell You. One of the foremost representatives of British postcolonial literature, Kureishi masterfully, and at times shockingly, explores the postmodern urban world of human desolation, loneliness and alienation, with the surgical precision and mercilessness of a “terrorist”, as he himself describes the writer and his artistic mission in an interview. Intimacy, in a classic Proustian or Jo…
Translating and interpreting orality
2016
Se introduce el concepto de oralidad en un sentido amplio, para pasar a continuación a su relación con la traducción, un campo relativamente reciente. En primer lugar se estudia el papel de la oralidad en la traducción audiovisual (donde es esencial el concepto de oralidad prefabricada) y en la traducción escrita (en particular en la literaria, la teatral y la de cómics), así como la importancia que ciertos elementos lingüísticos (marcadores del discurso, interjecciones y onomatopeyas) tienen en la reproducción de la oralidad. En segundo lugar se analiza la presencia del elemento oral en la interpretación, en la que lógicamente juega un papel esencial. Entre los numerosos aspectos que podrí…
