Cerviz: una traducción errónea
2000
A Hebrew word, çoref, that appears 29 times in the Bible has been translated mistakenly by cervix in all its Latin editions starting from the Vulgata, and for «cerviz» or its equivalent ones in the modern languages. This work seeks to demonstrate that, in fact, such words have never been pronounced in its equivalent one Hebrew, since the çoref translation should be another.
Un extraño nombre de la vena yugular interna: yugular ciega
1997
A misprint originated in the first work of human anatomy written in Persian, Tashrih-i Mansuri, where the internal jugular (widach âçwar), is misnamed blind jugular, is the starting point of the remembrance of the names given to this vein throughout the centuries and gives forth some commentaries related with the need to consult many original documents when identifying a name in a manuscript.
Pour la fête de notre séraphique mère sainte Thérèse: A Teresian Celebration in Verse, and a Concise View of French Carmelite Poetry
2015
This article commemorating the 500th anniversary of the birth of Teresa of Avila has two purposes: one, the presentation and analysis of a newly discovered poem composed in honor or Teresa of Avila in the French Carmelite convent of Saint-Denis (Paris) and two, a brief overview of recent scholarly work on French Carmelite poetry. It is proposed in the article that the poems of Teresa of Avila, not always considered important in their own right, should be re-considered and re-contextualized as foundational texts in a long tradition of Carmelite poetry that is both international and multilingual. Aquest article commemoratiu del 500 aniversari del naixement de Teresa d’Àvila té dos propòsits: …
Gennadios Scholarios and the Church of the Holy Apostles
2020
The article tests the established view that Gennadios Scholarios, the first patriarch of Constantinople after the 1453 Conquest, used the church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople as the seat of the Patriarchate for a few months in 1454 before moving to the building complex of the Pammakaristos monastery. After pointing out that all the sources that narrate the story of the installation of the Patriarchate in the famous Byzantine church date from the 16th century or later, the author examines sources contemporary with the events, including texts written by Scholarios himself. The aim of the article is to show that Scholarios officiated occasionally in the Holy Apostles and managed to sa…
The Text of the Lord’s Prayer in Marcion’s Gospel
2012
In text-critical studies of the Lukan version of the Lord’s Prayer (Lk 11,2-4), one of the most interesting, and at the same time most problematic, witnesses is Marcion’s Gospel. Scholarship for much of the twentieth century has generally followed the reconstruction of Adolf von Harnack in his magisterial work on Marcion: ... πάτeρ, (έλθάτω) τό άγιον πνeύμα (σου έφ’ ή μας και καθαρισάτω ημάς)* έλθάτω ή βασιλeία σου* τον άρτον σου τον έπιούσιον δίδου ήμίν τό καθ’ ημέραν, (και) άφeς ήμιν τάς άμαρτίας (ήμών) ... (και) μή άφeς ημάς eίσeνeχθήναι eις πeιρασμόν.1 As a result, it has more or less been assumed that this was the wording of the Lord’s Prayer in Marcion’s text.2 A major problem with th…
El problema de la despolitización del 'género' para la teoría feminista
2020
El propósito de este artículo es desarrollar un análisis crítico del proceso de despolitización del “género”. Se propone desvelar un importante punto de inflexión en el uso de “género”, de categoría analítica a característica individual, y su creciente sustitución del “sexo”. Se argumenta que la comprensión del género como percepción o sentimiento de pertenencia entre múltiples identidades no representa un marco teórico comprometido políticamente y está despojado de sentido para la emancipación de las mujeres de la dominación masculina. A lo largo del artículo (1) se desarrolla una breve narrativa de la historia del concepto, (2) se examina la comprensión del género desde la óptica de la id…
Containment and intensification in political war : Carl Schmitt and the Clausewitzian heritage
2016
This article provides the first comprehensive and chronological analysis of Carl Schmitt’s reception of Carl von Clausewitz. While earlier scholarship has mostly stressed Schmitt’s shift from Clausewitzian ‘instrumentality’ to an ‘existential’ view of war, I note some inherent difficulties in this dichotomy and instead promote the parallel distinction between two argument types: those of containment and intensification. Schmitt theorized both limited political war and the intensification of war out of traditional bounds, and focusing on one should not eclipse the other. Further, both elements are identifiable already in Clausewitz. I analyse Schmitt’s oscillation between containment and int…
Términos persas en escritos anatómicos árabes
1995
The. A. explains the meaning of some Iranian technical words, which appear in anatomical Arab works. They are interesting, not only because they are nearly unknown, but also because they are an evidence of the influence of Iranian culture on the rise of Arabian scientific medicine, and so an encouragement to further investigation on this subject.
Challenging Old and New Images Representing the Cambodian Genocide: The Missing Picture (Rithy Panh, 2013)
2018
This article focuses on the images used over four decades to represent the Cambodian genocide in photography, cinema, visual arts and the media as the basis for analyzing the documentary-memoir directed by Rithy Panh, The Missing Picture. First, there is a paucity of images which depict, evoke or allude to the crimes perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge (1975-1979); second, scholars raise objections about whether any image can adequately depict a catastrophic event such as genocide. This article begins by categorizing the Cambodian genocide iconography according to the modality of the visual production. After briefly classifying this visual output in four categories (perpetrator images, liberator…
