“She Shuddered on her Throne and Made high Olympus Quake.” Causes, Effects and Meanings of the Divine Nemesis in Homer
2015
This article aims at exploring the Homeric gods’ sensitivity to a particular kind of indig- nation that is expressed in the Homeric po- ems by the term nemesis and by the verbal forms arising from it. My purpose is to an- alyse the passages that allow us to establish the causes of divine nemesis towards the mortals and the gods themselves, as well as their effects. This survey also represents an opportunity for investigating the relation between the attribution of emotions to the Greek gods and the anthropomorphic repre- sentation of the divine.
«Men for oss er det én Gud, Faderen» : et kritisk blikk på Richard Bauckhams kristologi
2012
Author's version of an article in the journal: Teologisk Tidsskrift. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/tt/2012/01/art06 The article consists of two parts: Part one seeks to demonstrate (contra Bauckham) that Jewish monotheism in the Second Temple period was of a flexible character. It argues that Jewish writers in this period could attribute «divine functions» to figures beside God, while still feeling committed to «one God». The Jewish monotheism of this period was therefore not constituted by functions or characteristics, but rather by the exclusive worship of the one God. Part two argues that Paul describes Jesus with a high position beside God, while still fee…
El ‘relato maravilloso’ como expresión mítica de la presencia o ausencia divina
2020
El relato maravilloso constituye un recurso eficaz que el mito proporciona a las sociedades antiguas para articular y dar explicación a la relación del hombre con la naturaleza y a la presencia o ausencia de la protección divina. The ‘wonderful story ’constitutes an effective resource that myth provides to ancient societies to articulate and explain man’s relationship with nature and the presence or absence of divine protection.
Una lectura de les «Regles introductòries a la pràctica de l’Art demostrativa» de Ramon Llull
2022
Una part no menyspreable de les poesies de Ramon Llull va ser escrita per a afavorir la memorització dels fonaments conceptuals i operatius de l’Art. L’Art és una eina intel·lectual complexa i el seu creador era partidari de l’obscuritat didàctica. L’esforç que demana a l’usuari, d’altra banda, és indissociable de la pràctica de la primera intenció, que és conèixer i estimar Déu. És per això que les poesies creades per a aprendre l’Art i practicar-la poden semblar, a primera vista, un bon exemple de trobar clus. La lectura que es proposa en aquest article intenta fer més lleu l’accés a les Regles, pensades per facilitar la pràctica de l’Art demostrativa, el manual d’ús central de l’Art lul·…

Teorie fonosimboliche nella storia
2016
L'article esquisse de manière très synthétique les caractéristiques distinctives des trois principaux types de théories du signe qui au cours de l'histoire ont tenté de définir le rapport entre le son et le sens dans le langage, et en suggère une interprétation épistémologique d'un point de vue socio-anthropologique: les théories conventionnalistes semblent caractériser les cultures écrites matures, les théories mystiques de la parole "créatrice du monde" caractériseraient au contraire les cultures orales et enfin les théories imitatives semblent être typiques des périodes de crise de la culture écrite nécessitant de puiser de nouveau à la perspective orale pour produire de l'innovation thé…
Losing an Unexpected Throne: Deposing Second Sons of the Stuart Dynasty
2017
Two second sons of the Stuart dynasty who came as unexpected heirs to the throne lost their crown in depositions . Both of these kings, Charles I and James II , had a strong belief in a personal kingship over loyal subjects, which was at odds with the English concept of King-in-Parliament and the possibilities for subjects to participate in the rule of the kingdom. Charles I and James II lacked the natural confidence of born kings, and both tried to overcome this deficiency by overemphasizing their royal dignity. In doing so, they never realized that the generally accepted idea of a divine right of kings was to be articulated and represented, but not implemented in politics.
Il corpo sessuato delle dee. Agricoltura, pastorizia e mondo vegetale nella Mesopotamia antica
2021
Divine love is the central theme of many ancient Mesopotamian compositions. Both Sumerian and Akkadian texts poetically describe the love and sexual relationship between gods. The object of this study is to analyze the metaphorical language used to describe divine love relationships, focusing in particular on the use of images from agriculture, pastoralism, and the plant world. Such metaphors contribute to the creation and at the same time to the reinforcement of a sexual imaginary, not only divine but also human. Divine sexuality and the metaphors used to describe it would, over the millennia, become paradigms for understanding and thinking about human sexuality: male power and vigor, fema…

Indirect estimation of calibration equation parameters for Sentek Diviner 2000 capacitance probe by means of soil physical properties
2014
Measurements of soil water content (SWC) are often used for irrigation scheduling. Accurate monitoring of SWC is necessary, for example, to identify the exact irrigation timing and the amount of water volume to supply according to the crop requirement. The use of capacitance probes, measuring the apparent soil dielectric permittivity, indirectly related to soil water status, have been increasing during the last decade, as proved by the numerous researches carried out to determine, for different soil types, site-specific calibration relationships between SWC and the scaled frequency (SF) measured by the sensor. However, for swelling/shrinking clay soils, there is a lack of knowledge on how t…
