Conflicts over the provision and payment of wages of the "pavordías" of the University of Valencia during the second half of the seventeenth century
2002
Este artículo analiza las causas que influyeron en la dificultad de dotar las pavordías de la Universidad de Valencia en la segunda mitad del seiscientos. Los incrementos salariales de los pavordes, los gastos provocados por los continuos pleitos con los canónigos, la disminución de la renta de la pavordía, la reclamación por la Cámara Apostólica de los quindenios correspondientes y el desacuerdo entre la Ciudad y los pavordes respecto al estado de las cuentas se conjugaron para provocar la paralización de la provisión de preposituras. Situación a la que sólo la firma de las sucesivas concordias de 1669 y 1680 entre la Ciudad y los pavordes consiguió poner fin. This article analyzes the cau…
Self-care and total care: the twofold return of care in twentieth-century thought
2020
The paper studies two fundamentally different forms in which the concept of care makes its comeback in twentieth-century thought. We make use of a distinction made by Peter Sloterdijk, who argues that the ancient and medieval ‘ascetic’ ideal of self-enhancement through practice has re-emerged in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly in the form of a rehabilitation of the Hellenistic notion of self-care (epimeleia heautou) in Michel Foucault’s late ethics. Sloterdijk contrasts this return of self-care with Martin Heidegger’s concept of being-in-the-world as ‘total care’ (Sorge), an utterly ‘secularized’ understanding of the human being as irreducibly world-embedded that reject…

Spirituality and Ethnocultural Empathy Among Italian Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Religious Identity Formation Processes
2019
The current study examined the unique and combined roles of spirituality and religious identity formation processes on ethnocultural empathy among Italian youth. Spirituality was conceptualized as a desire for self-transcendence. Ethnocultural empathy entails concern for those of other cultural backgrounds. It was hypothesized that spirituality would predict ethnocultural empathy indirectly by way of religious identity commitment and in-depth exploration. Religious identity commitment is the extent to which people have invested in a particular religious worldview and community, whereas religious identity in-depth exploration is the degree to which they are actively seeking to learn more abo…
The Language of Quakers: idioms, words and abbreviations
2010
The paper examines some of the words and expressions that have distinguished the members of the Quaker movement and helped to establish their religious identity. The Quaker lexicon has not remained unaltered in the course of three centuries. As is typical of most religious movements, also the Quakers have continually been adapting to social and cultural changes. This explains the existence of four relatively recent glossaries that account for the Quaker terms used in the twentieth century. The paper pays particular attention to "One Explorer's Glossary of Quaker Terms" by Warren Sylvester Smith (1985).

Hvilket syn har kristne ungdommer på kristne videregående skoler på ulike samlivsformer
2007
Masteroppgave i kristendomskunnskap - Universitetet i Agder 2007 Helt generelt kan man si at informantene gir to hovedtyper av begrunnelser når de sier hvorfor de mener det de gjør om de ulike samlivsformene. Den ene er argumenter for synet de har, det andre er årsaker til at de har dette synet, eller hva som kan ha drevet dem til dette synet. Argumentene informantene bruker for deres syn er egne erfaringer, de begrunner seg ut fra forskning, mange begrunner seg ut fra Bibelen, Paulus, Jesus og Gud eller de bruker allmennetiske argumenter. Som årsaker til sine oppfatninger angir informantene ulike påvirkninger og opplæring fra ulike instanser. Dette kan dreie seg om skolens påvirkning, meni…
