Natural Laboratories for Field Observation About Genesis and Landscape Effects of Palaeo-Earthquakes: a Proposal for the Rocca Busambra and Monte Bar…

2018

Earthquakes are phenomena that are still being learned by the scientific community, and poorly known, especially as regards the prevention, by the population. Having a more complete knowledge is a basic step in understanding the vastness and intensity of the destructive phenomenon that involves a great amount of people. The recent earthquakes occurred in Central Italy (L’Aquila and Amatrice earthquakes) are examples that demonstrate the importance of having knowledge about these phenomena to contrast their destructive effects. We present a geological field trip to recognise causes and landscape effects of palaeo-earthquakes recorded in the Mesozoic rock successions outcropping in Sicily. Th…

Bodily cleanliness in modern nursing

2013

Why are bodily washing practices the way they are in nursing? Michel Foucault argues that modern democratic societies discipline human bodies in accordance with political interests. In the extension of that argumentation we will show that bodily cleanliness in modern nursing may have been used as a disciplining tool. The first part of our discussion takes as its point of departure the second half of the 19th/the beginning of the 20th centuries, the period in which modern nursing emerged. At that time scientific theories on hygiene seem to have legitimized the political effort to produce a clean, pleasant-smelling, decent, obedient, and productive population. Doctors, nurses and teachers pla…

Erraticism and multicultural permeability of urban fabric in Palermo

2017

Interactions between physical and social space draw different urban dimensions, or cultural landscape mosaics, which constantly change and evolve. The shape of the city promotes or discourages multiculturalism and social relations. The latter, in turn, reverberate in the way in which urban space is used, not only to meet basic needs - dictated by reason of survival (housing, employment, and services for education, care, leisure, etc.), but also because the inhabitants are driven by the desire for happiness and the simultaneous meeting that Lefebvre described as the “individualization in socialization”. Migrants groups have historically inhabited the central areas of cities, initially approp…

Representing Tibetan Buddhism in books on spirituality : A discourse-historical approach

2022

This article looks into how Tibetan Buddhism is framed in terms of East-West dichotomy in six popular books on Buddhism and spirituality. Discourse Historical Approach is employed to uncover the rhetorical representation of Tibetan Buddhism to the readers. A critical post-colonial perspective offers an insight into various power dynamics, arising from these representations, structured according to Yoshikawa's model of intercultural communication between East and West. The various power outcomes of rhetorical styles range from Ethnocentric to Dialogical, with their ethical consequences and problematics discussed.

Józefa Piłsudskiego "droga do niepodległości" w świadomości młodzieży. (Na przykładzie zadań z historii w arkuszach egzaminów zewnętrznych)

2017

Artykuł ukazuje obraz Józefa Piłsudskiego w zadaniach z historii, które przygotowywane zostały na potrzeby ogólnopolskich egzaminów zewnętrznych przez Centralną Komisję Egzaminacyjną. Przeanalizowano zadania z arkuszy gimnazjalnych oraz maturalnych. Analiza wykazała satysfakcjonującą obecność Józefa Piłsudskiego w poleceniach odnoszących się do wydarzeń z I wojny światowej, gdy jego droga do wolnej Polski była już na ostatniej prostej.

Praxis e storia in Jean-Paul Sartre. Una rilettura della Critica della ragione dialettica

2017

Jean-Paul Sartre’s Critique de la raison dialectique consists of two tomes: La théorie des ensembles pratiques (published in 1960) and L’intelligibilité de l’histoire (published posthumously in 1985). The first tome includes two books: De la «praxis» individuelle au pratico-inerte and Du groupe à l’histoire. Thus Jean-Paul Sartre combines existentialism and historical materialism, referring to the concepts of praxis and of history. The concept of history is the main theme of his work, and it can be understood as a dialectical process in the complex system of the human relationships.

Los Tellos de Meneses by Lope de Vega in the Shaping of the Ideal of the Honourable Peasant

2011

En la primera parte del trabajo se destaca la popularidad de la que gozó la leyenda genealógica sobre la familia de los Tellos de Meneses a través de la recopilación de noticias de representación de obras que se dedicaron a este tema. El artículo se centra después en la bilogía dramática que Lope escribió sobre los orígenes de esta familia: Los Tellos de Meneses y Valor, fortuna y lealtad (segunda parte de Los Tellos de Meneses). Se analizan dos aspectos fundamentalmente: por un lado, el tratamiento que el autor hizo de las fuentes, quizá en un afán por favorecer la imagen de la familia; por otro lado, se analiza el lugar que ocupan estas dos obras de exaltación genealógica en la configurac…

Adverbial expressions within the legal domain: from medieval fueros to their consolidation in language

2010

Given the importance of legal language in the study of historical phraseological, it is here analyzed the presence, use and evolution of adverbial phrases in some outstanding medieval fueros, and also how a good number of adverbial expressions have transcended and developed from legal language to other contexts, owed to —at least in some cases— a clear colloquial origin (a sabiendas, por bien...). This characteristic joins many others, such as the creation of complex syntagmas derived from the union of simple expressions: de cabo a rabo, a diestro y a sinestro, a tuerto o a derecho, etc. It is therefore interesting to study the individual, particular history of each adverbial phrase found, …

Powstania zapamiętane. Opowieści wspomnieniowe na temat powstań śląskich funkcjonujące w obiegu społecznym

2021

Przedmiotem artykułu jest sposób funkcjonowania w obiegu społecznym pamięci o powstaniach śląskich. Ważną rolę pełnią tu opowieści byłych powstańców, które ze względu na dystans czasowy podlegają folkloryzacji i fabularyzacji (do narracji włączane są wydarzenia późniejsze, związane na przykład z przeżyciami z czasów II wojny światowej). Wspomnienia drukowane są w antologiach, zrealizowano również projekt Filmowa encyklopedia powstań śląskich, gdzie o życiu powstańców opowiadają ich potomkowie. Wiedza o powstaniach popularyzowana jest także przez organizowanie konkursów dla młodzieży, przedstawianie rekonstrukcji historycznych, spotkania i wystawy. Autorka zauważa, że we współczesnych sposob…
