Aproximación al estudio sobre el Modelo de mujer espiritual de los eclesiásticos en la Edad Moderna

2016

Resumen: El modelo de mujer espiritual, de beata, fue siempre el mismo a lo largo de la Edad Moderna. En todas las vidas de mujeres, los biógrafos siguieron un patrón o arquetipo y éste se reprodujo hasta bien entrado el siglo XVIII, y perduró hasta el siglo XIX. No obstante, es necesario profundizar en cada una de las biografías para comprender que cada vida de mujer fue también única y singular. Solamente de este modo cada una de estas mujeres podrá recobrar el protagonismo que tuvo.   Palabras clave: Beata, Edad Moderna, biografía, confesores, espiritualidad.   Abstract: The model of a spiritual woman, a laywoman (beata), was always the same all throughout Modern Age.

From causal thinking to wisdom and spirituality: some perspectives on a growing research field in adult (cognitive) development

2015

This article concentrates on the latest international trends in the research on psychological development of adults, and especially on the development of cognition. The field of research has been very fragmented, and researchers have kept creating new models one after another to describe their own lines of thought and also seeking for empirical evidence for their models. This has created a rather equivocal picture of the phenomenon itself. The present article attempts to identify the historical roots of the field, and introduces descriptive factors that could conceptually determine the gist of the phenomenon. In this context we will discuss, mainly, research going back to Piaget and Perry, …

Print and online newspapers as material artefacts

2014

Traditional newspaper journalism is in a state of crisis and there have been several attempts to overcome this. Many discourses have reiterated the triumphal march of a digital revolution in newspaper journalism and anticipated the end of the print newspaper. This moment calls for an in-depth analysis of reader habits of news consumption and use in order to understand the audiences for journalistic output and their relationship with the journalistic objects. In this study, we adopt a multi-method approach, integrating (1) qualitative content analysis of student essays dealing with the physicality of printed and online newspapers, (2) ethnographic observation of the use practices of readers…

The thematic goal is to explore subjective understandings by examining personal definitions ofreligionandspirituality. Methodologically, the study shows how the key word procedure can be used to compare the semantic…

'No speech at my command will fit the forms in my mind': Shaping the Spiritual through Writing and Typing in George MacDonald’s Lilith Manuscripts

2020

International audience; In “Lilith B” (1893), the most extensively rewritten draft of George MacDonald’s fantasy novel Lilith (1895), puzzling triangular-shaped insertions, some handwritten and some typed, although not retained in the later versions of the text, allow for a better understanding of the creative process and show how the material crafting of the manuscript, through collage and combination techniques, played a part in the invention of fantasy. The introduction of the typewriter as a new drafting tool in MacDonald’s writing habits, not only for copying but also for revising, corresponds to a shift in the metaphorical and allegorical system which enables the parallel worlds of th…
