Dietrich von Hildebrand’s Criticism of Amoral Sex Education
2019
This article analyzes Dietrich von Hildebrand’s criticism of amoral sex education, which he regards as misleading and anti-educational in many crucial respects. Its content is misleading, because it separates human sexuality from its inherent connection with married love and thereby fails to do justice to the personal and intimate nature of sexuality. Its reductive and neutralizing approach not only fails to develop young people’s capacity for the transcendence implicit in moral agency, it also fails to provide the preconditions for the development of their authe-antic subjectivity. Instead of fostering objectivity, critical thinking and autonomy, amoral sex education promotes a normatively…
Bringing the Past to Heel: History, Identity and Violence in Ian McEwan's Black Dogs
2007
Ian McEwan's 1992 novel Black Dogs employs postmodern understandings of history while also critiquing these same perspectives. In particular, by depicting the efforts of its protagonist, Jeremy, to write a memoir of his parents-in-law, it draws attention to the subjectivity of historical writing. While this quality has led some critics to condemn the novel for its escapism and amorality, the authors of the essay argue that Black Dogs is a statement about the necessity of history rather than its futility. Indeed, they read the text as a dramatization of humanity-s ability to bear rather than escape the often troubling burden of the past and an endorsement of the writing of history despite th…
Temporality of Maternity, Chronic Pain, and Ethics: Challenging Current Narratives on Pain and Health
2021
This chapter aims to articulate new ethical possibilities made apparent during experiences of chronic pain, and suggest an ethics of temporality apparent in the mother–child relation. I also aim to bring an understanding of the complexity and diversity of subjectivities in pain and its impact on its social, intersubjective environment. The narratives of mothers who have experienced chronic pain for more than three months help articulate a gap found in the Western model of medical knowledge. I hope to shift attention from the perspective of a patient understood as an objectified object of pain and from pain as a separate object of study to a study of the concrete embodied experiences of moth…
Desarrollo de las habilidades de expresión del alumnado de Derecho constitucional

El Derecho constitucional presenta una serie de características que permiten una mayor amplitud en sus modos de enseñanza. De entre todas las posibilidades relativas a la innovación docente, abogamos por la inserción de unos elementos que permiten una enseñanza óptima de la materia.

Temporaneità
2022
Il saggio riflette sul tema della Temporaneità considerata, ormai, prassi strettamente connessa a quello dell’urban shrinkage, condizione centrale nel dibattito scientifico quanto nell’agenda politica di diverse città europee. Dagli anni ’90 a livello globale, nelle città e nei territori abbondano i luoghi dell’abbandono e dell’inutilizzato che ci restituiscono uno scenario di progressiva contrazione non solo demografica ma anche economica e sociale. In questo controverso quadro di mutazione strutturale delle città e dei territori si stanno sperimentando strategie, strumenti e schemi di governance efficaci per governare la decrescita e l’abbandono il cui comun denominatore è il ricorso …
Représenter les dynamiques urbaines de Tours antique et médiéval
2012
ToToPI, for Topography of Tours Pre-Industrial, is a GIS for studying of the city of Tours (France) in large time span. The aim of this paper is to explain how GIS is used for historical data processing to understand time-space dynamics. The proposed principle for understanding the urban dynamic is based on considering the town as a set of complex objects, taking a systemic approach. The town system used to study the urban fabric over large time spans is composed of three sub-systems relating to historical objects from the level of the excavation to that of the former urban space: function (social use), space (location, surface area and morphology) and time (dating, duration and chronology)…
Estudio traductológico de los verbos sintagmáticos del italiano al castellano. El caso de Lessico Famigliare
2016
Los verbos sintagmáticos (VS) constituyen un fenómeno lingüístico muy productivo en la lengua italiana, en particular en los intercambios dialógicos más informales y espontáneos. Ante la parca productividad de dichos constructos en español, destacamos los recursos lingüísticos que se suelen emplear con más frecuencia en este idioma al traducir los VS italianos. Para ello, analizamos un corpus paralelo, basado en la obra Lessico famigliare de Natalia Ginzburg (1963) y su traducción al español. Tras detallar los VS que figuran en el texto origen, adoptamos un enfoque de tipo cognitivo para dilucidar las posibles causas de aparición de los patrones lingüísticos destacados en la traducción. Por…
List do Rzymian w „Katechezach” Cyryla Jerozolimskiego. Sposoby wykorzystania i interpretacji
2018
Cyril of Jerusalem, the author of the Catechesis delivered to the catechumens and the newly baptized, gave the teachings of Jesus Christ on the basis of the Symbol in force in Jerusalem, and above all on the basis of the Holy Scriptures. He readily referred to the books of the Old and New Testaments, quoting literal citations or paraphrasing individual biblical ideas. Among the frequently quoted biblical books is also the St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, which was used by Cyril almost 40 times. Some of Paul’s statements were used as an element of the content link, while others are the starting point for presenting the wider context of Christian teachings to the audience. In most cases, the…
Shaping women's agency through temporality in "The life and activity of the holy and blessed teacher Syncletica"
2020
The present article attempts to discuss the relationship between two female characters, Thecla and Syncletica, against the wider theoretical background of temporality as it was perceived and construed through literary texts. Syncletica is portrayed as a ‘disciple’ of Thecla. However, while the apocryphal Acts of Paul and Thecla appear to be pervaded with an eschatological expectation, the Life of Saint Syncletica shows signs of a different temporality. The detailed description of the whole life of Syncletica, with an emphasis on the course of illness, reveals a temporality more focused on the stages of life. Building on this evidence, I aim to identify a set of key features that…
Marques d'oralitat en els xats
2008
The aim of this article is to determine, from the analysis of a real corpus, whether the traits associated with colloquial orality are present in chats. Chats, from the channel’s point of view, belong to the written mood of production, which has traditionally been associated with a high level of formality. However, they present features which are characteristic of the oral discourse, as Torres and Cuenca (2007) state. We have chosen as corpus of analysis chats which present a low level of formality and which are considered to be representative of the model of language used there. The challenge is focused on revealing how aspects of colloquial orality are present in written texts. The articl…
