«Fue levado mi entendimiento»: Teresa de Cartagena y la escritura mística en femenino
2016
Resumen: En torno a los anos 1470-1475, la religiosa Teresa de Cartagena (sobrina del prestigioso humanista Alonso de Cartagena) deseo y necesito escribir sobre su personal experiencia en femenino del amor divino, y nos lego dos valiosos tratados que abren la senda de los diversos textos compuestos por religiosas castellanas del siglo XVI. La escritora burgalesa destaca meritoriamente en la historia de la literatura bajomedieval y puede considerarse una digna precedente de la gran escritora Teresa de Jesus. Ambas comparten ciertas similitudes biograficas y espirituales que merecen tenerse en cuenta a la hora de disenar una genealogia de autoras de literatura espiritual en lengua castellana.…
Medicina i religió a la Baixa Edat Mitjana: la justificació mèdica de les pràctiques penitencials en els sermons de sant Vicent Ferrer
2014
Resum: És ben conegut que Vicent Ferrer va ser un fervorós partidari de pràctiques penitencials rigoroses, com ara els dejunis, la vigília i, sobretot, la disciplina fins l’efusió de sang. La companyia que el seguia practicava totes aquestes penitències, seguint les instruccions del predicador. Especialment significativa i polèmica era la seua adhesió a les virtuts espirituals del cilici i el flagell, utilitzats per ell mateix i pels seus seguidors. Enfront de les demandes i protestes, especialment de clergues, pel dany per a la salut que aquestes pràctiques suposaven, Ferrer va utilitzar tot un seguit d’arguments mèdics i filosòfics inspirats en el galenisme i l’aristotelisme, per tal de j…
Institutionalization an settlement of neoshamanisms in Spain : the case of the Valencian Country
2017
In this article, we explore the penetration of different shamanic currents in the new millennium in Spain, with a particular focus on the Region of Valencia. The traditions in this area differ from the shamanic traditions that had been previously adopted in two aspects: they are different shamanic currents and they follow their own settlement dynamics. By using a qualitative methodology based on a combination of thorough interviews and field observations, we have approached diverse neoshamanic manifestations in the years 2015, 2016 and 2017. We have used some of the interviews and observations of our field work. Our unit of analysis has been the Region of Valencia although the theory could …
Wizerunki świętych kobiet w wybranych utworach hagiograficznych dla dzieci i młodzieży po 1989 roku
2020
The Mother of God – as the mother of Jesus and the embodiment of boundless love, goodness and fidelity – is the prototype for the presented models of holy women in contemporary hagiographical works for children becomes. These values constitute the core of all portraits of holy women, regardless of the accepted divisions and their different ways of achieving holiness. They can be found in brides and mystics, virgins and martyrs, teachers and educators, mothers and wives. And it is they who, besides sacrifice, mercy and the ability to look at God and listen to Him, determine the consistency of the portrait of a holy woman. Serving man meant serving God, going beyond one's own egoism, temporal…
La rete mediterranea della devozione. Le teresiane della provincia di Napoli
2015
Riassunto: Filo conduttore del saggio è la vita di madre Serafina di Dio, carismatica caprese fondatrice, nel secolo XVII, di sette congregazioni femminili ispirate alla spiritualità teresiana. L’affiliazione alla santa di Avila e l’adesione alla matrice della sua riforma hanno consentito alle nuove comunità devote nate da un’iniziativa periferica di collocarsi nell’alveo della Chiesa nella prospettiva istituzionale della trasformazione in monasteri di clausura.Due i focus della ricerca. Da un lato ci si è soffermati sull’omogeneità organizzativa e spirituale dei conservatori garantita da reti devozionali saldamente dipendenti dal carisma della fondatrice secondo un meccanismo nel quale res…

Aproximación al estudio sobre el Modelo de mujer espiritual de los eclesiásticos en la Edad Moderna
2016
Resumen: El modelo de mujer espiritual, de beata, fue siempre el mismo a lo largo de la Edad Moderna. En todas las vidas de mujeres, los biógrafos siguieron un patrón o arquetipo y éste se reprodujo hasta bien entrado el siglo XVIII, y perduró hasta el siglo XIX. No obstante, es necesario profundizar en cada una de las biografías para comprender que cada vida de mujer fue también única y singular. Solamente de este modo cada una de estas mujeres podrá recobrar el protagonismo que tuvo. Palabras clave: Beata, Edad Moderna, biografía, confesores, espiritualidad. Abstract: The model of a spiritual woman, a laywoman (beata), was always the same all throughout Modern Age. In all women’s live…
Reports on Encounters of Medical Cultures: Two Physicians in Sweden’s Medical and Colonial Connections in the Late Eighteenth Century
2019
Kontturi’s chapter focuses on two Swedish physicians reporting from London and Caribbean Swedish colony St. Barthélemy to Swedish medical college in 1798. The emphasis is on their participation in the global networks of colonial medicine, shaping and sharing medical information from colonies outside of Europe. Their reports show how they promoted the hybridisation of different medical cultures with their distinctly open-minded curiosity towards new information, which was in line with the old Linnaean tradition of scientific travelling. The chapter also draws attention to their impact on how global diseases such as syphilis and smallpox were managed and treated in their own sphere of influen…
From causal thinking to wisdom and spirituality: some perspectives on a growing research field in adult (cognitive) development
2015
This article concentrates on the latest international trends in the research on psychological development of adults, and especially on the development of cognition. The field of research has been very fragmented, and researchers have kept creating new models one after another to describe their own lines of thought and also seeking for empirical evidence for their models. This has created a rather equivocal picture of the phenomenon itself. The present article attempts to identify the historical roots of the field, and introduces descriptive factors that could conceptually determine the gist of the phenomenon. In this context we will discuss, mainly, research going back to Piaget and Perry, …
Print and online newspapers as material artefacts
2014
Traditional newspaper journalism is in a state of crisis and there have been several attempts to overcome this. Many discourses have reiterated the triumphal march of a digital revolution in newspaper journalism and anticipated the end of the print newspaper. This moment calls for an in-depth analysis of reader habits of news consumption and use in order to understand the audiences for journalistic output and their relationship with the journalistic objects. In this study, we adopt a multi-method approach, integrating (1) qualitative content analysis of student essays dealing with the physicality of printed and online newspapers, (2) ethnographic observation of the use practices of readers…
