Un beghinaggio a Lentini. Religiosità laica femminile in Sicilia tra XIII e XIV secolo
2018
Il saggio si propone di indagare alcune tipologie di spiritualità femminile presenti nell’isola tra Duecento e Trecento. Dall’analisi, condotta a partire da una prima ricognizione delle fonti edite e dalla scoperta di nuovi elementi frutto della ricerca d’archivio, viene fuori un panorama in cui le istanze di spiritualità femminile che compresero forme assimilabili a reclusione e beghinaggio, sembrano non essere riconducibili a un movimento consapevole e strutturato; frutto piuttosto di una casualità che vide alcune esuberanti donne talora non siciliane, mosse da una volontà di emancipazione in campo religioso, fondare o seguire nuove pratiche di devozione. The essay aims to investigate som…
Buddhism as “creator” of transnational social support ties? Experiencing spirituality in a Tibetan child care organization in exile and its meaning f…
2014
The influence of Buddhism on transnational social support ties has not been researched systematically from an empirical angle until recently. In this article I delve into the support structures of a Tibetan community-based child care organization and its donors from western countries, and emerge with an understanding of how religious belonging and spiritual experiences contribute to the formation of transnational social support ties. By introducing religion that transcends national borders, in this instance, Tibetan Buddhism, as a category for analyzing transnational social support ties, I broaden the understanding of how diaspora is formed, for I look not only at Tibetans in diaspora, but …

Author's version of an article in the journal: Teologisk tidsskrift.

In this movement, contemplation, called quiet time, was focused on intention and action in order to grasp and carry out God’s guidance. The article examines teaching about and practice of quiet time and guidance in the Oxford Group and shows how these phenomena relate to a broader historical context within Christianity. Note…

The value of volunteering in special events: A longitudinal study
2013
Abstract Volunteering has important insights for tourism, especially in the context of special events. In this paper, volunteering is studied in a religious event from a consumer value-based approach. A longitudinal study is conducted on 711 volunteers, three months before and one month after the event. The value-based approach is reliable and valid over time. The results of the value dimensions (spirituality as altruism, social value, play, efficiency, and effort spent) suggest volunteering is a highly emotional experience, although functional aspects showed higher expectations than perceptions. Value conceptualisation as a trade-off is consistent with the approach to volunteering as a “gi…
An existential perspective on meaning, spirituality and authenticity in athletic careers
2014
This research examines athletes’ career paths and reflections of meaning in their sporting practices through an existential psychological lens. Through notions of spirituality and authenticity, we examined how competitive sport practices and bodily movement gain meaning, and often fundamentally shift meaning, in athletes’ lives. Reflective writings with a follow-up from 10 athletes were interpreted through an existential-narrative analysis. The results suggest that while the early years of sport practice are most often characterised as highly enjoyable experiences, for some, the later career development involves existential challenges such as value conflicts, losing a sense of authenticity,…

Константин Великий и св. Елена на фресках Яна Кубена в Воздвиженском костеле в Бжеге
2020
The paper introduces the splendid representations of Emperor Constantine the Great and Saint Helena in Jan Kuben’s frescos in the church under invocation of the Triumph of the Cross in Brzeg. They testify strongly of the incessant presence of the creative reflection over the Christian ancient times in the area of Opole Silesia in the period of the Catholic reform in the 18th century. Kuben’s trompe-l’oeil constitutes a wonderful combination of deeply experienced Catholic spirituality with the genius of the artist – a visionary.
Secular Re-symbolisation of the Santiago Pilgrimage in Spanish Cinema: the Case of The Way and Road to Santiago
2020
El estudio durkheimiano sobre la función social de la religión interpreta la peregrinación y el turismo como formas de movilidad mediante las que se lleva a cabo el tránsito de lo profano-cotidiano a lo sagrado-religioso. El turismo que recorre el Camino de Santiago hoy se cimenta sobre las rutas cristianas de peregrinaje surgidas en el siglo IX que tenían como destino la tumba del apóstol Santiago el Mayor ubicada en la Catedral de Santiago de Compostela. Desde finales del siglo XX las políticas institucionales orientadas a la promoción del Camino de Santiago han promovido una imagen secularizada del peregrinaje jacobeo que ha dado como resultado un espectacular incremento del turismo en l…
The origin, definition and nature of the transconscious in the spirituality of Father Stăniloae
2022
In his important work, Orthodox Spirituality , Father Dumitru Staniloae considers that, besides the real existence of the subconscious, there exists in man another reality as well, comprising the superior divine energies found in the human heart and which he defined by using the modern notion of transconscious or supraconscious. Contribution: The present study emphasises on the origin, definitions and content of this concept in the work of Father Staniloae and its great importance in defining a way to know God and his salvation works, from the perspective of an anchorite and Christian mystic, engaged in the existential tension of communion with God.
