Tradición católica y ritual festivo: secularización y metamorfosis de lo sagrado
2021
El objetivo del artículo es analizar la relación entre tradición, ritual y proceso de secularización en la modernidad avanzada, a partir de un análisis histórico y etnográfico de las fiestas católicas de Corpus Christi y Semana Santa, además de algunas grandes celebraciones locales. Se defiende que la tradición moderna no es una mera herencia del pasado, sino producto de un proceso de retradicionalización selectiva de prácticas formadas conflictivamente en el mundo católico durante el período de la Contrarreforma, tras un proceso de negociación (basado en un desigual equilibrio de poder) entre hierocracia eclesial y prácticas locales comunes. En la sociedad postradicional, caracterizada por…
Pluralismo religioso come nuovo umanesimo nell'età-postsecolare
2018
Overcoming the common distinction between religiosity and laicity, it is possible to find the condition for a development of a religious pluralism (as a kind of new humanism) in the interreligious dialogue, based on an epistemological turn of theology and on a hermeneutic approach to otherness.
A partial micro-foundation for the ‘two-worlds’ theory of morality policymaking: Evidence from Germany
2020
The two-worlds framework is currently the most important account of morality policymaking in Europe. For this theory of elite behaviour to be valid, a number of implicit assumptions about political belief systems at the mass level must hold. This contribution spells out these assumptions and tests them within a structural equation modelling framework, using original survey data from Germany, a country that constitutes a crucial case for the two-worlds theory. The results showed that the implicit individual-level preconditions of the two-worlds framework were fulfilled. Political secularism and partisanship were strongly associated. Political secularism also had strong effects on morality p…
Civil Religion or Nationalism? The National Day Celebrations in Norway
2021
The Norwegian National Day (17 May, also referred to as Constitution Day) stands out as one of the most popular National Day celebrations in Europe. According to surveys, around seven out of every 10 Norwegians take part in a public celebration during this day. This means that the National Day potentially has an impact on the way people reflect upon national identity and its relationship to the Lutheran heritage. In this paper, I will focus on the role religion plays in the Norwegian National Day rituals. Researchers have described these rituals as both containing a significant religious element and being rather secularized. In this article, I discuss the extent to which the theoretical con…
La presencia de representaciones visuales de contenido religioso en la escuela pública constitucionalmente laica: un estudio exploratorio en aulas de…
2016
espanolUna de las manifestaciones que genera confusion en el marco de la relacion entre el Estado Laico, el principio de neutralidad y el ejercicio del derecho a la educacion, es la presencia de simbolos religiosos en la escuela publica. El objetivo del estudio es analizar, a traves de un sistema cuantitativo y cualitativo, la representacion de las figuras humanas con contenido religioso en diez aulas de educacion infantil de colegios publicos de una ciudad capital. En la mitad de colegios visitados existe presencia de figuras humanas con contenido religioso. Se observa una transformacion del discurso que sobrepasa la representacion del crucifijo. Los mensajes distorsionan el principio de n…
Chemical separation and MC-ICPMS analysis of U, Th, Pa and Ra isotope ratios of carbonates
2018
Diagenetic alteration of fossil reef corals may have severe effects on the reliability of 230Th/U-ages. The widely applied criteria introduced to test for the reliability of coral 230Th/U-ages are often not sufficient to identify all altered ages. The combination of 230Th/U- with 231Pa/U-dating has been suggested as a promising method to identify altered ages. Furthermore, 226Ra/230Th ratios can provide information about the diagenetic history during the last 10 000 years. Here we present a method to chemically separate U, Th, Pa and Ra from the same aliquot of a carbonate sample. The isotope ratios of our mixed U–Th–Pa–Ra spike are calibrated using a secular equilibrium material treated in…

Problematics of Bonds in Hugh MacDiarmid's Poetry
2012
Hugh MacDiarmid is considered the most important Scottish poet of the 20th century. He is mostly celebrated for the Scots lyrics he wrote in the 1920s and his long poem A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle, published in 1926. Because of their fragmentation, the poems of the Thirties, most of which were part of the unpublished project Mature Art, and In Memoriam James Joyce (1955), have not attracted the same critical attention. However, they represent the culmination of a very complex stylistic crisis that this study offers to analyse thanks to the question of bonds, especially problematic bonds. The poetry portrays humanity torn by social division, treason and death, but it deals with loss too…
L'invention de la violence scolaire
2005
05089; International audience; L'École est un lieu politique : non seulement chaque société y socialise ses enfants et y construit une forme de citoyenneté, mais des jeux et enjeux de pouvoir traversent l'institution. Les crises sporadiques qui agitent le système scolaire depuis une vingtaine d'années sont bien plus que la traduction d'un désenchantement de l'école ou d'un « malaise enseignant », lycéen ou étudiant. Elles sont à saisir comme symptôme d'une crise de citoyenneté collective, d'une véritable crise du politique dont la violence scolaire est la forme émergente. Au fond, sous la polysémie des termes et des manifestations, c'est la définition même qui pose problème : ce qui est qua…
La "normatività" tra etica e metafisica
2017
The Author’s aim is to highlight the limits of monist metaphysics which underpin the paradigm of Secular Humanism. In fact, all forms of monism consider good and evil either as internal momentums to the logic of development of the world, or as mere illusions within the evolutionary process. Can tragedies as the Holocaust be interpreted by such a monistic approach? The distinction between ‘polar opposition’ and ‘logic of contradiction’ is introduced by Romano Guardini. This is based on a creationistic metaphysic and it is useful to show that our practical-moral investigation is legitimated only by a theist approach. By considering good and evil as two aspect with mutual implications, monisti…
