The influence of religious identity and socio-economic status on diet over time, an example from medieval France
2019
International audience; In Southern France as in other parts of Europe, significant changes occurred in settlement patterns between the end of Antiquity and the beginning of the Middle Ages. Small communities gathered to form, by the tenth century, villages organized around a church. This development was the result of a new social and agrarian organization. Its impact on lifestyles and, more precisely, on diet is still poorly understood. The analysis of carbon and nitrogen isotopes in bone collagen from the inhabitants of the well-preserved medieval rural site Missignac-Saint Gilles le Vieux (fifth to thirteenth centuries, Gard, France) provides insight into their dietary practices and enab…
Antropologia come "general Weltkenntniß" Kant e la concezione cosmica dell'umano
2018
Il progetto antropologico di un mondo-ambiente nel quale l'uomo, grazie allo sviluppo delle proprie capacità, trova la sua posizione e conquista un ruolo centrale, si inserisce, in Kant, all'interno in un disegno più ampio che pone l'uomo al cospetto di scopi la cui realizzazione va ben al di là di quel che egli può fare; va ben al di là dell'immagine pragmatica di un mondo pensato e progettato a misura d'uomo. Come risulta insufficiente, dunque, ogni antropologia fisiologica che rimanga limitata al punto di vista dell'uomo in quanto prodotto del gioco della natura, altrettanto insufficiente risulterebbe un'antropologia pragmatica che si legasse unicamente alla rappresentazione antropocentr…
Acceptance and knowledge of evolutionary theory among third-year university students in Spain
2020
The theory of evolution is one of the greatest scientific achievements in the intellectual history of humankind, yet it is still contentious within certain social groups. Despite being as robust and evidence-based as any other notable scientific theory, some people show a strong reluctance to accept it. In this study, we used the Measure of Acceptance of the Theory of Evolution (MATE) and Knowledge of Evolution Exam (KEE) questionnaires with university students from four academic degree programs (Chemistry, English, History, and Biology) of ten universities from Spain to measure, respectively, acceptance and knowledge of evolutionary theory among third-year undergraduate students (nMATE = 9…
Medieval Monastery Gardens in Iceland and Norway
2021
Gardening was an important part of the daily duties within several of the religious orders in Europe during the Middle Ages. The rule of Saint Benedict specified that the monastery should, if possible, contain a garden within itself, and before and above all things, special care should be taken of the sick, so that they may be served in very deed, as Christ himself. The cultivation of medicinal and utility plants was important to meet the material needs of the monastic institutions, but no physical garden has yet been found and excavated in either Scandinavia or Iceland. Especially the Cistercians were well known for being pioneer gardeners, but also other orders like the Benedictines and A…

Miracles in Dark Times: Hannah Arendt and Refugees as ‘Vanguard’
2019
AbstractThe radical uncertainty that refugees face because of war, flight and exile often dramatically shapes their participation in society. Violent conflict and human rights abuses are not just disproportionately experienced by, but can also create, political subjects. Such life events can transform the motivations, sense of responsibility and political actions of individuals with refugee backgrounds. In this article, we explore the links between civil–political engagement and the life stories of such individuals, analysing our empirical data through themes in the work of Hannah Arendt. We make three central points. First, we highlight the possibility of refugees as ‘vanguard’, playing a …
El documento de voluntades anticipadas. Comparativa de la legislación actual en el marco de la Unión Europea
2021
Resumen La Ley 41/2002, de 14 de noviembre, basica reguladora de la autonomia del paciente da valor legal vinculante a las voluntades anticipadas (VA) en Espana. Sin embargo, la situacion en cada pais de la Union Europea es distinta y desconocida para la mayoria del personal sanitario. Para conocer esas diferencias, se realizo una recogida y estudio de las distintas legislaciones en materia de derechos del paciente, y se establecio una comparativa actualizada de las caracteristicas que cada pais otorga a las VA. De los 28 paises de la Union Europea, 15 han desarrollado legislacion especifica en materia de VA, y le otorgan caracter vinculante el 86% si se utiliza la formulacion escrita. Siet…
Le soin dans la technique ou ce que les nouvelles technologies numériques font au soin
2020
Resume Qu’est-ce que le numerique fait au soin ? On presente les dispositifs numeriques comme une reponse aux deserts medicaux, aux inegalites territoriales et comme suppleance eventuelle aux metiers du soin. Mais est-ce seulement possible ? Est-ce que le mode d’investissement de l’espace par le virtuel est articulable sans difficultes a la presence spatiale et corporelle qu’exige le soin ?

Quand l’incertitude de la maladie cancéreuse attaque les liens : effet de la dynamique transférentielle
2022
Resume Le cancer est une maladie largement connue du grand public. Elle represente par ailleurs une des maladies les plus redoutees en France. C’est ainsi que lorsqu’elle frappe, tout est bouleverse, tout devient incertain. La pathologie est source d’incertitude pour le patient mais aussi pour sa famille et ses proches. Mais alors comment s’accommode-t-on a celle-ci, a ces changements et a ces nouveaux reperes de vie ? Ce questionnement marque le point de depart de notre reflexion autour du processus d’incertitude en oncologie. Cet article s’interesse au vecu de l’incertitude de patients atteints du cancer, de leur entourage et des partenaires de soins. Ici nous nous centrerons sur la quest…
