Why Did the ‘Flying Finns’ Walk? A Footnote to the History of Athletics Training
2012
In the twenty-first century, distance runners invariably train by running. A few generations ago, however, virtually all elite runners were dedicated walkers; they sought to improve their running prowess by vigorous walking exercises. As idiosyncratic as their training philosophy retrospectively sounds, it needs to be assessed in its original context. Of all modern sports, distance running seemed a particularly suspicious activity to contemporary observers, as suggested by evidence from Finland and other leading sporting nations. A grown-up person dashing about in skimpy clothes easily ended up being classified as a mental case. Serious athletes therefore chose walking work-outs over unabas…
Cristianesimo e modernità politica. il problema teologico-politico nell'ultimo Kant
2021
In this paper I will analyse the religious issue in the late Kantian work. I argue that Kant’s reflections on Christianity have to be strictly connected with those on law and history. This connection lead us to the political theological problem which is crucial in the case of Hegel as well. In the Encyclopedia Hegel explicitly takes inspiration from Kant who thinks that the problem of that age is the relation between religion and law. That is why Kant cannot be considered a liberal thinker because religion is not a mere private question for him but it has a public importance within his modern conception of history. In this sense, I also argue that Kant’s judg-ment on Christianity is more ne…

La jornada continua como un recurso para la maternidad intensiva. Una mirada desde la Comunidad Valenciana
2021
La “ideología de la maternidad intensiva” (Hays, 1998) según la cual la prioridad de la madre es dar respuesta a las necesidades de los hijos e hijas mediante la inversión de grandes cantidades de recursos económicos, temporales y emocionales, proporciona en este artículo una perspectiva clarificadora para comprender mejor el apoyo de un gran número de familias a la jornada continua en las escuelas. El artículo representa una primera aproximación a la relación entre maternidad intensiva y jornada escolar, a partir de la reflexión teórica que suscita la bibliografía existente sobre la construcción social de la maternidad, los análisis realizados sobre la jornada escolar en el ámbito español …

Entering post-otaku : approaching the Internet era in the light of otaku
2014
This thesis raises a hypothesis that we have entered the Post- Otaku era. In order to prove this hypothesis, a survey has been conducted in which 30 participants gave answers regarding their Internet habits. It is said that each time when science and technology make one step forward, it increases the capacity of our organs. Compared with the impact of the industrial revolution on human beings, the influence of Internet technology seems far more tremendous as the former extends the power of our limbs while the latter enhances the competence of our brain. The significance of the present study is trying to explore the unknown future in the light of the Otaku phenomenon which is something havin…
Ubiqüitat de la ironia o, si més no, alguns dels seus usos entre els poetes actuals
2006
The incidence of irony in the genre of lyric poetry has caused some special effects, mainly after modernity turned this disposition of thought into an irreplaceable element when, thanks to the contribution of the Romantic poet Friedrich Schlegel, complicities between poets and readers were stipulated. The present article tries to evaluate the validity of these presuppositions by studying the use of ironic procedures in the poetic texts of a number of authors of great importance now. The relevance of the authors analyzed is justified not only by the poets’ relation to an absolute diversity of styles and programs, but also, by the fact that it is able to represent all the literary generations…
