Antīkās filozofijas recepcija Latvijā
2013
Antīkās filozofijas recepcija Latvijas teritorijā ir jauna, maz pētīta tēma. Recepcija latviešu valodas izteiksmē laikā no 19.gs.b. līdz 20.gs. 30.g.v. ir ritējusi lielumis tā laika valodas prakses gultnē. Mācību iestāžu klausītavās tā ir izpaudusies filozofijas vēstures kursa sastāvdaļa, tiesa, jo bieži citu zemju filozofijas vēsturnieku darbu satura vienkāršotu kompilāciju atveidojumā. Atsevišķi antīkās filozofijas izdibinājumu aizmetņi nepārtapa patstāvīgā un pēctecīgā ziniskā interesē, kura spēja saglabāt vien izglītojoši pedagoģisku specifiku. Filozofijas recepcija ir pieņēmusi arī ārpusakadēmiskas, privātas iniciatīvas formas, kurās tika panākti vienīgie šajā jomā publiski pieejamie r…
Introduction
2013
This introduction suggests regarding ‘religion’ as a cultural product. The relationship between religion and memory can be investigated through the practice of oath-taking, a particularly sophisticated social tool in ancient Greece. It concerns, in fact, both the status of social trust and problematic intercourses between gods and human beings, who fi nd in oath a regulated and effective space of interrelation.
The Relocation of the Canons Regular Monastery in Żagań as an Element in the Reform of Interior Life
2019
The location in which a church was based played an important role in the life of religious communities in the Middle Ages. Interactions with society and the mutual influence of a monastery on the surrounding societies could support or inhibit the development of an abbey. There were situations when monks were moved to serve in different locations. In Silesia, we have two examples of canons regular monasteries. Both the monastery of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Wrocław and the convent of Żagań were originally located in other places. As described in the monastery chronicle, the transfer of the monastery from Nowogród Bobrzański to Żagań in 1284 was an event that opened new opportunities and per…

Introduction
2020
The material dimension of cult practices and ritual communication in ancient sanctuaries is the central issue of all contributions gathered in the book, which has been framed within three complementary areas of enquiry. Firstly, the architectural settings of sanctuaries was examined beyond temple buildings to appraise the wider context of their structural and spatial complexity. Secondly, the material culture of votive deposition and religious feasting is analysed in terms of performative characteristics and through the lens of anthropological approaches. Thirdly, the significance of gender in cultic practice is investigated in light of the fresh data retrieved from the field.
Modes of Religiosity in Iberian Iron Age Caves: Religious Behaviour and Sensorial Experience
2021
The Iberian Iron Age caves are defined as a specific model of sacred space. First, from a territorial perspective, they are identified as liminal spaces where the collective participation, integration and the sense of belonging is reinforced. And secondly, as multisensory contexts, where different ritual practices, highly symbolised, are performed. These spheres, cut off from the well-known and daily scenarios boost the sensory hypersensitivity, strengthened by the connection between the senses and the natural scenario. This paper is guided by the theory of religiosity modes, developed by H. Whitehouse, with the purpose of a better understanding of the ritual practices that were carried out…

La meta e il percorso. Sguardi e menti di viaggiatori nella Grecia antica
2022
L’articolo indaga alcuni regimi scopici e ‘menti’ degli antichi viaggiatori greci. Esso prende in considerazione: gli sguardi omerici, vari ma tutti legati tra loro dall’essere rivolti verso specifici punti, singoli o, nel quadro di una conoscenza cumulativa, ‘sommati’ gli uni agli altri; il modo di guardare del sapiente, che riflette sulla relazione tra tutto ciò che vede durante il percorso; quello del turista, che concentra l’osservazione sulla meta scelta – a volte anche soltanto per potere raccontare di esservi stato; quello del lettore, che ‘si sposta’ attraverso i libri di viaggio o di storia; e altri sguardi che costituiscono intrecci o variazioni di quelli precedenti, presentandosi…
