Devotees, A New Ordeal and A Sense of Belonging: Ethnography and Nethnography of Saint Agatha
2012
In 2004 and in 2008, the author conducted ethnographic research in Catania (Southern Italy) on one of the most important religious feasts in honor of Saint Agatha. This chapter relates Agatha's story, which is that of a Sicilian virgin martyr persecuted in the fourth century by a Roman proconsul. At the feast of St. Agatha, the three elements: the extra-ecclesial nature of popular religiosity, the transmission of knowledge through vehicles other than seminaries and other official religious institutions, and the expression of popular religiosity with signs and symbols that transmit the presence of the supernatural in everyday life, can be found. A starting point was to identify and understan…
Evolución de los patrones de asentamiento en la comarca de Liébana (Cantabria) desde la Prehistoria hasta la Antigüedad
1995
En el trabajo se ha tratado de establecer los patrones de asentamiento de la comarca de Liébana (Cantabria) desde el Neolítico hasta la época romana; analizando la distribución de los hallazgos arqueológicos los cuales se han puesto en relación con la áreas de captación respectiva, los cambios ecológicos producidos y con las vías de comunicación naturales. Se pretende con ello: en primer lugar establecer el patrón de asentamiento en cada fase crono-cultural considerada, y, en segundo lugar, el modelo evolutivo de esos patrones de asentamiento. Para el establecimiento de los patrones de asentamiento se ha realizado una intensa prospección arqueológica que ha logrado identificar más de un cen…
Sante e Patrone. Iconografia delle Sante Agata, Ninfa, Cristina e Oliva nelle chiese di Palermo dal XII al XX secolo
2005
Il volume è il catalogo di una mostra sul territorio che ha seguito il principio del museo diffuso partendo dalle collezioni del Museo Diocesano di Palermo. L'iniziativa ha previsto l'individuazione di un tema fortemente legato al territorio e alla devozione e storia locali, come museologicamente richiesto per la natura dell'istituzione che la promuoveva. Sono state, dunque, selezionate le opere che hanno composto un itinerario in città come rete di chiese diocesane in ognuna delle quali le stesse erano appositamente valorizzate. Il volume si compone di un saggio introduttivo e delle singole schede di catalogo, sviluppate con l'apposita bibliografia di riferimento, che hanno consentito di c…
Granting Epicurean Wisdom at Rome: Exchange and Reciprocity in Lucretius' Didactic (DRN 1.921-950)
2018
In the first book of De Rerum Natura, Lucretius describes his didactic undertaking as a metaphorical process of gift exchange (1.50-53): the obscure and salvific precepts of Epicurean philosophy, skilfully arranged in hexameters, are said to be 'gifts' (dona) that the poet has prepared with loyal zeal (studio fideli). Such a suggestive depiction of Lucretius' relationship to the work's dedicatee, Gaius Memmius, seems to reflect a relevant functional pattern of De Rerum Natura as a coherent system of communication strategies, variously readapting social models and cultural traditions. The present paper employs the interpretative approach of gift theories – the thought-provoking theories elab…
Entre el Cisma de Occidente y la conversión: en torno al retablo de la Santa Cruz y los Sacramentos encargado por Bonifacio Ferrer
2018
Este trabajo relaciona el retablo encargado por fray Bonifacio Ferrer (1355-1417) para la capilla de la Santa Cruz en la cartuja de Portaceli con dos acontecimientos de relevancia pública en los que estuvo envuelto y que marcaron su trayectoria personal y política. Hasta la fecha, la interpretación de la obra conservada en el Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia ha seguido dos líneas fundamentales: la clave dogmática y teológica de los Sacramentos, que han dado nombre identificativo muchas veces al retablo, y la personal, que lo presenta como consecuencia de la decisión de ingresar en la cartuja tras un largo proceso judicial y la pérdida de gran parte de su familia pocos años antes. Aquí se p…
"Mazurek Dąbrowskiego" dzieło Józefa Wybickiego. Pamiętamy o polskim hymnie i jego twórcy
2022
Among national symbols, next to the emblem and colors, the anthem occupies a special place. National symbols have contributed to building a sense of identity for centuries and belonging. They express love for the homeland and integrate society. Mazurek Dąbrowski (Poland Is Not Yet Lost) has been a symbol of the society’s hope and faith in the revival of the state almost since its creation. In 2022, the Year of Józef Rufina Wybicki was celebrated in Poland, who was the author of the words of the song, which has been the anthem of Poland for nearly 100 years. For this reason, Wybicki’s biography was recalled in the anniversary article. As well as the circumstances of making him the patron of …
Mating strategies and resulting patterns in mate guarding crustaceans : an empirical and theoretical approach
2012
Because of strong costs associated with each mating event, females are usually not as available for reproduction as males at any given time. Males are therefore in competition with each other for access to receptive females, hence leading to strong sexual selection. One textbook case of such a mating system occurs in moulting crustaceans where females can only be fertilized during a short period following their moult. This has favoured the evolution male strategies to monopolize females before their period of receptivity. Such a precopulatory mate guarding is widespread among many taxa and represents one of the most striking example of males’ competitive traits favoured by sexual selection.…
Edma 0-6 : educación matemática en la infancia
2018
There are numerous studies that support the interest of starting the development of algebraic thinking in Primary School. In this paper, we present a part of a research project aimed to explore the processes of solution of geometric pattern problems by students in Primary grades 4th to 6th. We analyze the behavior of students who were administered a teaching unit based on the resolution of this type of problems in the GeoPattern application, created by the authors for this purpose. A characteristic of the application is that it informs the students on the correctness of their answers and allows them to respond again to the same question when their answer was wrong. This causes the students …
Evaluación de la ingesta alimentaria: una reflexión que nos acerque al futuro
2021
El mantenimiento de un óptimo estado de salud es un tema de relevancia que ha llevado a científicos/as y clínicos/as a estudiar, investigar e innovar con el fin de disminuir las brechas y vacíos existentes de conocimiento. Actualmente, la epidemiología nutricional es un área de investigación que cobra cada día más importancia, cuyo objeto de estudio se centra fundamentalmente en el rol de la alimentación en el proceso salud-enfermedad. A partir del estudio del consumo dietético y su relación con las enfermedades crónicas, se ha observado que la dieta es uno de los factores modificables que influyen directamente en la prevención de estas enfermedades1. Además, el interés en estudiar la relac…
Lope and the Creation of Contemporary Heroes: «La nueva victoria de don Gonzalo de Córdoba» y «La nueva victoria del marqués de Santa Cruz»
2013
Lope defended the usefulness of history presented on stage, that is, theatre’s function of preserving and creating a collective memory. In the case of La nueva victoria de don Gonzalo and La nueva victoria del marqués de Santa Cruz, this playwright dramatized military events that took place immediately before the composition of these plays. In this article i will analyze the fundamental traits of those texts in relation to Lope’s desire to please his patrons and, at the same time, to participate in the making of a Spanish national identity, which intensified during the first years of king Philip IV’s reign through different media, among them painting and theatre. This paper ends reflecting …
