«Viva el señor San Antonio, pues que tanto nos ampara»: los santos y su representación en la literatura popular de los siglos XVIII y XIX
2016
En la Edad Moderna la religión impregnaba la vida cotidiana, y los santos eran personajes comunes a los que recurrir en caso de necesidad. Las hagiografías, desde el ámbito oficial, difundían la fama de estas figuras, pero también había una notable circulación oral y escrita de literatura popular religiosa (sobre todo pliegos de cordel y gozos) que los daba a conocer en todos los ámbitos sociales. Primero, esbozaremos las características generales de la santidad en la literatura popular valenciana del XVIII, y después nos centraremos en el caso de la Beata Inés de Benigànim, de devoción local y prolongada en el tiempo (siglos XVII a XX). A través de estos textos podremos comprender la conce…

2013
The primary aim of this study is to focus on the tourists, singer-musicians' and hotel managers' experiences with live music in Finnish hotel cruise lines and Sharm EL Sheikh's seaside resorts.

«La princesa i el pèsol» (ATU 704): de les reescriptures escolars a la construcció identitària
2018
A partir del conte d’Andersen «La princesa i el pèsol», s’aborden qüestions que afecten el sentit i difusió d’un text que forma part del cànon de contes clàssics, objecte de pràctiques discursives diverses. En primer lloc, la interpretació de la sensibilitat extrema de la seua protagonista i la reflexió sobre el possible missatge misògin del relat. En aquest sentit, es tracta la reescriptura dels contes de fades proposada per la crítica feminista i l’aparició de nous contes metaficcionals que dialoguen intertextualment amb els clàssics. S’hi aborda la presència i l’ús actual de la figura dels contes de princeses en l’àmbit escolar. En el context de la «glocalització», que dona visibilitat a…

Understanding Finnish education: science popularization and scholarly work as intertwined activities
2015
Moving to Finland two years ago had given new push to my work in many ways. I have been studying Hungarian educationfor about thirteen years and I have been addressing the general public with popularizing materials for nearly five years now. However, in Finland these activities become more complex than in my native country. Here, I wish to discuss how my research found larger and larger contexts in two steps: First, by starting to make my research available to wider audiences in Hungary, and second, by turning my focus to an international environment. I claim that these two types of recontextualization are not only beneficial for me as a researcher personally but also serve the researched c…
"Dżafar z Bagdadu" Janusza Makarczyka jako cenne źródło wiedzy o historii i literaturze arabskiej epoki Abbasydów
2018
This article deals with Janusz Makarczyk’s bestselling historical romance Jafar of Baghdad, first published in 1950. Makarczyk had a varied career as a journalist, travel writer of the ‘globtrotter school’, military officer, diplomat and academic; his deep involvement with the Middle East and Arab history began in the 1926 when he was sent to the Polish consulate in Jerusalem. The life of Jafar ibn Yahya provided him not only with enough material for a gripping story of love and romance but also a pretext for painting a broad canvas of historical events and personages. Addressed to younger readers, the book is didactic in the sense that it offers them basic information about Islam (e.g. the…
