Introduzione a: FUOCO E CARBONE : le tradizioni dei carbonai
2022
L'introduzione al volume: Fuoco e carbone. Le tradizioni dei carbonai sottolinea un’accorta indagine sul lavoro dei carbonai sardi, sulle fasi di produzione del carbone, sull’influenza che hanno avuto le maestranze toscane nel trasferimento di competenze e abilità sui carbonai locali, sul rapporto uomo-mondo vegetale che trovava massima espressione nel “processo di personificazione” della carbonaia con l’attribuzione di nomi e appellativi. Lo studio indaga, inoltre, le prime attestazioni di utilizzo del fuoco da parte degli uomini e gli impieghi ergologici e sociali che proprio il fuoco ha assunto nel tempo, la sua dimensione simbolica, quella linguistica, l’universo eterogeneo di pratiche …
Electromagnetic Radiation, a Living Cell and the Soul: A Collated Hypothesis
2015
The soul is believed to be an immortal essence of living things in scores of philosophical and religious traditions but sparsely understood by science. The word ‘soul’ does not have a scientific definition but through this paper is hypothesized to be an indefinite, non-structured, massless energy made up of electromagnetic radiations that is confined in the cytoskeletal network of the biological cell. Electromagnetic radiations continually interact with the biological cell and propagate within the cell; by a pathway known as ‘Cell-Soul Pathway’. This pathway is a coherent, imperceptible, uncontainable and recyclable support pathway, which uses this energy to promulgate consciousness in a bi…
La committenza gesuitica e la pittura a Palermo tra XVI e XVIII secolo
Il presente lavoro di ricerca mira ad approfondire e arricchire, mediante nuove acquisizioni, lo studio in merito alle opere pittoriche di committenza gesuitica custodite presso le fondazioni palermitane dell’Ordine: chiesa del Gesù a Casa Professa, Collegio Massimo dei Gesuiti, chiesa di San Stanislao Kostka e chiesa di San Francesco Saverio. A queste si aggiungono i dipinti di committenza della Compagnia trasferiti presso altre sedi. Ulteriore intento è quello di organizzare in maniera più organica la trattazione delle commissioni artistiche dell’Ordine a Palermo, che si presentava dispersiva e frammentaria. Tra i risultati più significativi si annovera il ritrovamento di un ciclo di affr…
Apuntes para el estudio social de la fiesta en España
2007
El artículo ofrece una perspectiva para el estado de la cuestión del estudio de la fiesta en España, desde la sociología y la antropología. Se constata cómo tras algunos trabajos pioneros, la fiesta se convierte en objeto legítimo de estudio durante la década de los ochenta y los noventa. Las transformaciones experimentadas por el ritual festivo en condiciones de modernidad se plasman en una diversificación de metodologías y en un viraje epistemológico. Los desplazamientos en el objeto celebrado y la complejidad creciente del sujeto celebrante obligan a repensar conceptos clave, como ritual, tradición o comunidad. Por fin, se plantean algunos de los temas de estudio emergentes, y se señalan…
Submersed in the water, buried in the ground: comparative studies on metal assemblages and single finds from french Iron Age non-funerary contexts (V…
2020
Metal hoards are emblematic discoveries of European protohistoric societies and therefore an extremely dynamic research theme. However, even though there are many synthetic studies concerning Bronze Age practices, they are much less frequent concerning Iron Age deposits. In fact, since 1995 (Kurz 1995), no synthetic inventory on this subject had been carried out despite the regular increase in the number of discoveries since the development and multiplication of preventive archaeological excavations. Under these conditions, it seemed important to update the data and this led to the completion of a master's degree on this subject in 2011 (Le Cozanet 2011). Since then, our research hasn‘t cea…
The healing from another paradigm: neoshamanisms and its global emergency in the Spanish case
2021
Resumen Entre la multitud de medicinas y terapias alternativas presentes en el mundo Occidental, el neochamanismo es una de las que, en la actualidad, ha despertado mayor interés y que se sitúa entre las nuevas formas espirituales y los procesos de patrimonialización fruto de la modernidad globalizada. En este artículo se muestra el proceso de reconfiguración de prácticas y conocimientos ancestrales, -etiquetados como chamánicos- y cómo éstos constituyen una respuesta adaptativa en la búsqueda de nuevos espacios vitales y de experiencias colectivas que den sentido a la existencia en el contexto occidental. Desde el caso español y tomando la Comunidad Valenciana como unidad de análisis, nos …
How Body and Soul Interact with the Spiritual Mind: Multimodal Cognitive Semiotics of Religious Discourse
2008
Cognitive Linguistics as an enterprise provides new theoretical and methodological instruments in understanding the relationship between people's thoughts and the language they use. Spiritual and religious experiences (particularly the ones involving some type of revelation from or communication with a transcendent being) are especially interesting since they involve some type of external, physically invisible force or agent, contributing an "ineffable" quality to the phenomenon. However, people can and do describe such events, and metaphors and blends pervade the representations of certain concepts of the transcendental when attempting to talk about such abstract ideas. One of the main ten…

Striving for Significance: The Relationships Between Religiousness, Spirituality, and Meaning in Life
2015
The aim of this study was to investigate whether religiousness and spirituality are associated with meaning in life, and which dimensions of religiousness and spirituality show the closest links with meaning in life. It was assumed that those religious and spiritual dimensions which are most imbued with meaning would be more significant for the presence of meaning than for the search for meaning in life. Two studies were conducted. The results of Study 1 showed that the “religious meaning system” was positively associated with “meaning in life,” with stronger connections for “presence of meaning” than for “search.” As regards “religious coping,” positive coping was positively related to pre…
