Australia: An Inescapable Cultural Paradigm? Cross- and Transcultural Elements in Tim Winton’s Fiction
2016
The article considers Tim Winton’s fiction in terms of its cross- and transcultural character. Despite the fact that local Australian settings permeate the writer’s narratives, Winton creates an imaginary space that is both local and transnational in terms of its quality of the domestic culture, which Winton extends beyond its original field of practice. Winton achieves the transcultural quality of his fiction through transgressions and boundary breaking that are possible due to his frequent reworking of the traditional Australian themes and concepts of the unknown, supernatural, mystical, numinous and sacred, exploitation of leitmotifs of journey, transit and in-betweenness, use of cross-c…
Actitudes de emprendimiento y los "Cinco Grandes": una compa-ración intercultural entre España y Estados Unidos.
2022
Culture may interact with personality to facilitate or inhibit en-trepreneurial behaviors. 296 undergraduates in the United States and 257 in Spain completed the Big Five Personality Inventory and the Entrepreneur-ial Attitudes Scale for Students (Mean age = 20.16 years; SD = 3.39). We hypothesized that across cultures, conscientiousness and openness would predict greater risk taking whereas neuroticism and agreeableness would be a negative correlate. Personality variables explained a larger proportion of the variance in entrepreneurial attitudes in the U.S. data. The associations between the personality dimensions and entrepreneurship varied consider-ably by country and gender. Significant…
El inefable sendero del budismo zen electrónico: Nam June Paik
2009
Nam June Paik conoce en 1958 en Alemania al músico vanguardista John Cage, quien estaba profundamente interesado en el budismo zen. Este compositor norteamericano no sólo convencerá al artista coreano para que oriente su carrera musical hacia la vanguardia, sino que impulsará su interés por el budismo zen. También, su temprana unión con Beuys, Maciunas y otros artistas del movimiento Fluxus le dieron la necesaria libertad para introducirse en el arte más experimental desde principios de los años 60. Paik no sólo ha indagado teóricamente en el budismo zen, sino que incluso mantiene algunas de sus prácticas, aunque no se considere un practicante ortodoxo. Su objetivo es recrear una serie de c…
Transculturality: The New Frontier of Care Relationships
2012
Taking care of migrants constitutes a new challenge for the actual operative structures of the services in general and for the sanitary service in particular, requiring a global and permanent rethinking with regards to both the offer and the procedures for decoding the requests. What determines the complexity of offering care while respecting differences is the fact that it can not be done without the professionals individually deconstructing racism and maturing an anti-racist awareness. However, attention to this question is neither widespread nor shared during the training of doctors and of health service workers in general. It is necessary, therefore, to broaden the traditional staffclie…
Aesthetics and “transcultural” turn
2015
What does “trancultural turn” exactly means and which is its relationship with aesthetics? Culture has never been as important as it is today, so it is now more than ever crucial to reflect on its current expressions and transformations. In this sense it is useful to examine the perspective of cultural studies. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of the “cultural turn” on aesthetics highlighting positive and negative aspects of the relationship between aesthetics and cultural studies. In spite of many criticisms it has received (eclecticism, lack of scientific rigor, methodological unreliability and so on…), it is crucial to accept the challenge coming from cultural studies …
De la performance musicale dans la Guyane traditionnelle : expression cognitive singulière d?une musique-verbe
2021
Guianese culture and traditional music, here evoked, are various. It is more a transcultural process that, along centuries, gave an original result born in the Americas, in Guiana in this case. It is a form of refoundation, of recreation of cultures and new human beings generally called Creoles. The musical performance, that I study here, is the echo of social and cultural space of this reformulation of thought, life, and conception of the world. It is, as well, a mean of transposition and transformation of the values issued of diverse sources and categories. It is in no way a second-rate cultural practice, as it is the place where were born philosophies and actions for common life as well …
Competencias socioemocionales, toma de decisiones y conducta antisocial-delictiva en adolescentes: Un estudio transcultural
2021
Las competencias socioemocionales y la toma de decisiones son temas de interés para prevenir e intervenir en las conductas antisociales y delictivas de los adolescentes. Una mayor competencia socioemocional se ha relacionado con una mejor salud mental, bienestar subjetivo, conducta prosocial y ajuste social. La toma de decisiones está relacionada con las conductas de riesgo positivas y negativas, el rendimiento personal y social y el logro de metas. La evidencia sugiere que los adolescentes ofensores tienen un menor rendimiento en las competencias socioemocionales y en la toma de decisiones que sus compañeros normativos. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue desarrollar las competencias…
La dimensione interculturale nel lavoro sociale: verso la definizione dell'identità e delle competenze professionali
2013
Il servizio sociale è chiamato oggi ad un ampliamento sia delle sue prassi operative che di quelle formative, per meglio accogliere le istanze portate dal diffondersi delle migrazioni e della multiculturalità della società e dell'utenza. Gli sviluppi professionali che si stanno innescando, e che andrebbero potenziati, riguardano più livelli. Richiedono innanzi tutto ai singoli soggetti una revisione tanto delle metodologie di intervento quanto del loro sistema di pensiero a monte delle relazioni e del rapporto con la diversità. Inoltre, richiamano la necessità di un adeguamento dei servizi e una riformulazione delle modalità di contatto con l'utenza, una diversa gestione delle risorse e del…
Didattica sperimentale per un servizio sociale transculturale
2014
Le competenze professionali richieste agli assistenti sociali dalla società contemporanea includono la capacità continua di ampliare il loro sapere, saper fare e saper essere, integrandolo con nuove specifiche abilità nell’ascolto e nella presa in carico di persone di cultura diversa. Una sperimentazione didattica realizzata all’interno del corso di laurea in Servizio sociale dell’Università di Palermo è andata nella direzione di promuovere, innanzi tutto, una consapevolezza della rilevanza di un sapere transculturale nella pratica professionale. Da questa esperienza didattica è emersa la proposta di inserimento nel piano di studi di una nuova disciplina professionale, per integrare stabilm…
