Los mapas geopolíticos de la Unesco: entre la distinción y la diferencia están las asimetrías. El éxito (exótico) del patrimonio inmaterial
2013
Immaterial Heritage is a political category that is both confusing and contradictory. The democratization and universalization of Cultural Heritage have made the latter more profuse and have led to its increased importance. Even so, and despite its current levels of protagonism, its construction responds not only to outmoded parameters but also to a global exercise in apparent symmetry. In other words, things do not appear to have changed significantly from Colonialism to the new Imperialism. So it is safe to say that we are now privy to a “re-christening” of what was formerly referred to as “folklore”. And in this change in the conception of heritage we have gone from putting the accent on…
El lenguaje afectivo durante la crisis sanitaria de la gripe A
2010
In this article we analyze the effects that, as seen through the written press, the arrival of H1N1 had on certain affective behaviors in society. After the spread of H1N1, health authorities recommended maintaining physical distance in social settings and, among other measures, advised against kissing. At first, this show of affection became a victim of the pandemic, especially in certain activities and rituals. However, once the media impact of swine flu had subsided, kissing recovered its habitual place and frequency, demonstrating that customs which are socially and culturally entrenched are resistant to change.

National Identity and the Problem of "Polish" and "Silesia" in the Work of Jan Goczoł
 The article presents the issues of Polishness and Silesianness in the national consciousness of Jan Goczoł, who is known as a poet with a great deal of authorship, prose writer, columnist, and also an Opolian Silesia cultural activist. The article describes the life path of the poet, his family background, and the crystallisation of national consciousness in his writing. The poetry of the defender of the native tradition is emotionally marked with Silesian motifs and refers to the culture of many generations of Silesians.

La memòria recuperada: l’ús dels relats biogràfics en la segona i tercera generació dels emigrants valencians als Estats Units d’Amèrica a principi d…
2021
És habitual quan es fa ús del mètode biogràfic recollir els relats directament d'aquells que van viure els fets narrats, siguin estos tota una vida o alguns aspectes que l'investigador desitgi que siguin destacats. En la investigació duta a terme sobre la recuperació de la memòria dels emigrants valencians als Estats Units d'Amèrica durant les dues primeres dècades del segle XX això es presenta com un fet impossible: els que van viure en primera persona l'emigració ja han desaparegut. Es podria pensar que amb ells desapareixien també les seues històries. Però gràcies a un exhaustiu treball amb els seus descendents (filles i fills, nétes i néts, nebodes i nebots) i fent ús de tècniques que s…
Tsensuur kommunistlikus Poola Rahvavabariigis
2013
This article discusses the topic of censorship in the communist Poland. It presents a description of the functioning of the office of censorship (Main Office for the Control of Presentations and Public Performances; Główny Urzęd Kontroli Prasy, Publikacji i Widowisk) as well as other forms of informal influence on the authors working for public publishing houses. The underground publications suppressed during the Stalin era as well as difficulties encountered by Polish historians after 1956 will be the subject of the analysis. Furthermore, the article indicates the complementary role of the underground publishers after 1970. These publishing houses had a significant impact on the birth of p…
Al di là del sintomo. Il gruppo psicodinamico nelle dipendenze
2012
I Disturbi da Uso di Sostanze (DUS) e i Disturbi del Comportamento Alimentare (DCA) presentano delle caratteristiche comuni. Essi infatti si manifestano attraverso un attacco al corpo, presentano un’insorgenza in età adolescenziale o tardo adolescenziale e una prevalenza associata rispettivamente al genere maschile e femminile. In una prospettiva psicodinamica, ciò che soprattutto accomuna i DUS e i DCA (insieme ai disturbi psicosomatici) è il fatto di poter essere considerati dei disturbi di secondo livello, dei quadri sintomatologici di copertura rispetto ad una sofferenza psichica sottostante. In questo senso possono essere considerate delle modalità di auto-terapia e autoregolazione emo…
Names of Snakes in Latvian Texts of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
2020
Names of Snakes in Latvian Texts of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries This article analyses the naming of snakes in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Latvian texts which are taken from the Corpus of Early Written Latvian Texts, containing the first Latvian dictionaries, religious texts, and some secular texts. The objective of the paper is to try to determine how precisely the translators of religious texts rendered names of snakes, and to ascertain whether any semantic changes have taken place, or whether religious texts show specific use. The study also aims to find out if taboo of dangerous animals, snakes in particular, and related euphemisation is reflected in early Latvian text…
Ethnographic Knowledge in Urban Planning:Bridging the Gap between the Theories of Knowledge-Based and Communicative Planning
2021
Publisher Copyright: © 2021 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. ‘Knowledge-based’ approaches have recently made a breakthrough in urban planning. How to develop balance in knowledge-based planning between abstract and scientific knowledge, on the one hand, and ‘local knowledge’ on the other hand has been long debated. To this debate, we add a form of knowledge with potential for sustainable urban planning, i.e. ethnographic knowledge that could transmit an understanding of urban dwellers’ daily practices and values to planning organisations. Theoretical literature is the foundation of our argument, which we illustrate with a case study involvin…
Exotismo y educación colonial. El guineano como curiosidad en las ferias muestrario de Valencia, 1942-1948
2020
El propósito de este artículo es analizar la presencia de Guinea en las ferias muestrario que se celebraron en Valencia durante la década de 1940. En ellas, de acuerdo con la doctrina de la Hispanidad, la colonia se delimitó como un territorio a civilizar –cristianizar y españolizar–, siendo de vital importancia en el discurso público la retórica nacionalcatolicista que entreveraba negocio y misión. Para ello, los organizadores optaron por la estrategia de poner en escena los recursos naturales de la colonia y a sus habitantes, especialmente a los fang de la Guinea continental. El interés del caso valenciano es doble. Por un lado, nos permite entender las dinámicas puestas en marcha por el…
