Prefazione a: Istituzioni ecclesiastiche e potere regio nel Mediterraneo medievale : Scritti per Salvatore Fodale
2016
Si esamina la produzione scientifica di Salvatore Fodale, basata sullo studio di documenti inediti custoditi in archivi italiani e spagnoli. Lo studioso ha posto al centro della sua ricerca i rapporti tra potere ecclesiastico e potere politico dall’età normanna al Quattrocento, nelle sue molteplici sfaccettature, dedicando ampio spazio allo Scisma d’Occidente e agli ordini religiosi. L’orizzonte geografico delle sue ricerche ha spaziato nel contesto mediterraneo, includendo la Sicilia, la Sardegna, l’Aragona, la Grecia e il Maghreb. We analyze the scientific production of Salvatore Fodale, based on the study of unpublished documents kept in in Italian and Spanish archives. The scholar has f…
Religious Education in Finland: Promoting Intelligent Belief?
2000
This article discusses current dilemmas in religious education in Finland. Different interpretations of confessional religious education are presented in the context of the Lutheran tradition. Pedagogical applications of religious education advocated by Michael Grimmitt are explored as plausible approaches in promoting the religious understanding of students. The article presents some suggestions to enrich Grimmitt's pedagogy with a more argumentative approach, which unites both reason and feeling. Such an intelligent approach is arguably in accord with the pedagogical interpretation of confessional religious education.
Breast Cancer in Two Ex‑Votos, A Millennia Apart: Patients’ Hope and Faith Expressed Through the Centuries in Votive Offerings
2023
A votive offering or ex-voto includes a variety of usually non-professional artworks offered to divinities and placed in religious sites to fulfill a vow or in gratitude for recovery from an illness or injury. Unfortunately, the ancient period lacks a scientifically verifiable understanding of the true nature of cancer and its natural history and, consequently, a lack of effective treatment. This paper discusses two ex-votos potentially related to breast cancer distant more than 2000 years, one from the other. The ex-votos convey the complex relationship of humans with illness through an art expression stemming from the heart and minds of ordinary people.
Religious and spiritual motifs in the art of the patients of Nikkilä Hospital
2021
This article focuses on religiousness and spirituality in the art works of psychiatric patients of Nikkilä Hospital, Finland. The pictures analysed here belong to a collection held at the Helsinki City Museum and they were made during the twentieth century. The theoretical frame of the study is a cultural study of mental health. The collection is approached as presenting a specific kind of imagery which has connections not only to the personal history and diagnoses of the patients; their cultural context and hospital environment is also taken into account. The religiousness and spirituality of the Nikkilä collection are also compared with outsider art and examples of art history internation…
Argenti e argentieri per il monastero del SS. Salvatore di Corleone

Attraverso lo studio delle informazioni inedite annotate nei volumi depositati nel Fondo delle Corporazioni Religiose Soppresse dell'Archivio di Stato di Palermo, è possibile ricostruire la collezione di argenteria del monastero del Santo Salvatore di Corleone, oggi purtroppo in gran parte perduta, riportando alla luce anche le figure degli artisti che hanno realizzato le opere. Through the study of the unpublished information noted in the volumes deposited in the Fund of the Suppressed Religious Corporations of the State Archives of Palermo, it is possible to reconstruct the collection of silverware of the monastery of the Holy Savior of Corleone, now unfortunately largely lost, bringing t…
Marie Baldwin, racism, and the society of American Indians
2020
The French/Ojibwa lawyer, activist, and Office of Indian Affairs employee, Marie Louise Bottineau Baldwin (1863–1952), often receives mention in scholarly works on the Society of American Indians (SAI). Very few, however, have examined her contributions in detail. Only one article focusing exclusively on Baldwin has ever been published. Cathleen D. Cahill’s flattering portrait depicts Baldwin as a devoted suffragette and leading SAI figure who, in her roles as cofounder and treasurer, promoted the cause of Indian rights and her own Ojibwa values concerning women’s equality. Cahill explains Baldwin’s sudden exit from the SAI as a result of attacks by male, anti-Indian Office “radicals” who c…
Atheists on the Santiago way : examining motivations to go on pilgrimage
2018
In the past 30 years, the camino to Santiago de Compostela has been recreated as an eclectic pilgrimage, open to both religious and atheist travelers. Following previous work on motivational orientations and religion, we conducted a study examining atheist versus religious pilgrims' motivations to walk the Santiago way. We assessed pilgrims (N = 360) at various parts of the northern Spanish camino using a questionnaire that measured motivations to go on pilgrimage. In addition, we measured levels of positive and negative affect, physical exertion, and emotional problems. Atheists scored significantly lower on community and religious types of motivations. However, in several measures no diff…
