Ergonyms of Educational and Cultural spheres in two of Baltic States cities
2020
Daugavpils (Latvia) and Narva (Estonia) are cities in the Baltic States and signifi cant cultural and economic centres of their respective countries. These cities are characterized by a minority of nationals (19.8% of residents of Daugavpils are Latvian, 4% of residents of Narva are Estonian) and a similar linguistic situation: there is a dominance of Russian in the press, television and radio, but the state language prevails in the urban language signs.The aim of the study is to analyse the linguistic and extralinguistic means used for the creation of ergonyms of educational and cultural spheres. The main criteria for the analysis are: language choice, grammatical structures, sources of pr…
Le discours du mythe
2008
Limité à ce tournant encore peu exploré des études ethnologiques qui chevauche les années 1960, cet article explore quelques aspects de la transition de Lucien Sebag de sa formation philosophique à la théorie ethnologique, transition dont les piliers les plus importants sont l’apprentissage auprès de Claude Lévi-Strauss et ses enquêtes de terrain chez les Aché-Guayaki de la zone orientale du Paraguay et chez les Ayoré-Moros du Chaco paraguayen et bolivien. L’article met particulièrement en lumière la contribution de Sebag à l’analyse structurale des mythes et, par le dépassement de l’approche marxiste et de la démarche psychanalytique, les nouvelles perspectives qu’en accord avec la linguis…
From the Shadow of a Myth to an Academic Subject : Teaching Writing from a Cognitive Base
2021
In order to truly understand one’s teaching methods and share them with others, one first needs to understand what has been done in the past. The aim is to become conscious of habits, models and attitudes that have become a part of local lore – either in studies of creative writing or in the education system in general. One way to do this is to read creative writing guides written in different periods of time. This paper examines Finnish writing guides published since 1900. It also shows how teaching creative writing slowly became possible in Finland. Finally, the article describes how the historical situation, writing guides and academic tradition influenced the practice of teaching writin…
L'abolitionnisme de Victor Schoelcher, un humanisme mâtiné de colonialisme et de moralisme
1999
Although this title might be somewhat provocative, there is no intent to be anti-schoelcherist. The aim is not to diminish Victor Schoelcher's considerable achievements, but to fight against the unanimous preconceptions that have transformed this man into a myth. By studying the legal and political consequences of his proposals and his engagements, we have underlined not only the extent and complexity of his work for the Republic - that has been little known up to now, though Schoelcher ought to be considered to be one of the fathers of the Republic - but his contradictions too. Schoelcher was so sure of the virtues of the republican values of the mother country, that his fight, albeit huma…
The Effect of Damage Functions on Urban Flood Damage Appraisal
2014
Flooding damage appraisal can been obtained by interpolating real damage data caused by historical flooding events or accounting the effects of a flood in terms of the depreciation of assets. Most often, the expected damage is evaluated by means of damage functions describing the relationship occurring between the damage and hydraulic characteristics of flood. The present paper aims to evaluate the uncertainty linked to the choice of the depth-damage function adopted in the flood damage analysis. Several possible depth-damage function formulations were selected in literature and applied to historical flooding events monitored in the "Centro Storico" catchment in Palermo (Italy). (C) 2013 Th…
Biblijne i dogmatyczne podstawy nauki o szatanie oraz współczesne kryteria jej oceny
2018
Starożytny Wschód przypisywał personalny charakter tysiącom tajemniczych sił, których obecność wiązano z wszelkim złem, jakie nawiedza człowieka. Także w Biblii mówi się nie tylko o dobrych istotach duchowych – aniołach, ale i o takich, które szkodzą ludziom, przynoszą choroby i kuszą do złego. Duchy te nazywano demonami, a ich przywódcę szatanem lub diabłem. Artykuł w czterech punktach ukazuje biblijną naukę o demonach i szatanie, główne trendy rozwoju tej nauki w historii myśli chrześcijańskiej oraz kryteria stosowane we współczesnej hermeneutyce związanej z biblijnymi tekstami o demonach i szatanie.
Lapsas tēls korejiešu mitoloģijā
2022
Šī bakalaura darba nosaukums ir “Lapsas tēls korejiešu mitoloģijā”. Āzijas mitoloģijā ir daudz dažādu radījumu, un viens no tiem ir deviņu astu lapsa. Šajā darbā uzsvars tiek likts uz atšķirību starp Ķīnas deviņu astu lapsu huli-dzjin, Japānas deviņu astu lapsu kitsune un Korejas deviņu astu lapsu kumiho, kā arī uz to tradicionālo attēlojumu katrā attiecīgajā kultūrā. Ķīniešu ideoloģija un filozofija ir spēcīgi ietekmējusi korejiešu uzskatus par lapsām un to vispārējo attēlojumu korejiešu mutvārdu tautas pasakās un leģendās, tomēr šajā darbā ir svarīgi tās atšķirt, izpētīt simboliku, ko tā pārstāv Āzijas kultūrā, kā arī izpētīt lapsas tēla mūsdienu aspektu masu medijos. Darbu veido trīs daļ…
The Supremacy of the Constructivist Approach in the Field of Physics Education: Myths and Real Challenges
2012
We intend, first of all, to show that the supposed 'supremacy of the constructivist epistemology' in the field of physics teaching is just a myth that hides the actual supremacy of the ineffective transmission/reception model. We then centre our analyses and proposals on the real challenges to improve students' learning and attitudes. Résumé Nous essayons de montrer que la prétendue « suprématie de l'épistémologie constructiviste » dans le domaine de la didactique de la physique n'est qu'un mythe, qui cache la suprématie effective du modèle inefficace de la transmission/réception. Nous centrons ensuite nos analyses et propositions sur les défis réels pour améliorer l'apprentissage et les at…
Pat Barker’s Regeneration: Subverting the Masculinity of World War I Official Discourse
2014
Pat Barker’s Regeneration (1991) offers an imaginative deconstruction of the myth of the Great War as produced within British official patriotic rhetoric and in some of the best-known lyrics by Wilfred Owen (1893- 1918), who, together with Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967), has always been celebrated as one of the leading War poets. If Owen’s poetry partly entails the apolitical sublimation of the devastating facts of war through the ambiguous sentiment of pity, in Barker’s novel any suppression of emotions is posited as artificial and counterbalanced by a thorough exploration of those contradictory aspects of the Great War which official discourses have tended to obscure: the homoerotic experi…
