LA PREGHIERA POST-SECOLARIZZATA DEI MILLENNIALS
2019
The article discusses the theme of prayer understood as a process of individual research of a secular spirituality rather than as a ritual practice among members of the same faith. Trough the answers given by a sample of 1026 students of Palermo University, the prayer appears as the result of a individualization’s process and assumes post-secularized connotations. The answers given during the focus groups conducted, identify in the choice of Millennials to ‘pray’ an activity of reflection that goes beyond the autopoietic and self-referential dimension.Millennials’ pray is a self-reflexive prayer that often questions the great themes of this time – euthanasia, abortion, procreative choices, …
Un beghinaggio a Lentini. Religiosità laica femminile in Sicilia tra XIII e XIV secolo
2018
Il saggio si propone di indagare alcune tipologie di spiritualità femminile presenti nell’isola tra Duecento e Trecento. Dall’analisi, condotta a partire da una prima ricognizione delle fonti edite e dalla scoperta di nuovi elementi frutto della ricerca d’archivio, viene fuori un panorama in cui le istanze di spiritualità femminile che compresero forme assimilabili a reclusione e beghinaggio, sembrano non essere riconducibili a un movimento consapevole e strutturato; frutto piuttosto di una casualità che vide alcune esuberanti donne talora non siciliane, mosse da una volontà di emancipazione in campo religioso, fondare o seguire nuove pratiche di devozione. The essay aims to investigate som…
Buddhism as “creator” of transnational social support ties? Experiencing spirituality in a Tibetan child care organization in exile and its meaning f…
2014
The influence of Buddhism on transnational social support ties has not been researched systematically from an empirical angle until recently. In this article I delve into the support structures of a Tibetan community-based child care organization and its donors from western countries, and emerge with an understanding of how religious belonging and spiritual experiences contribute to the formation of transnational social support ties. By introducing religion that transcends national borders, in this instance, Tibetan Buddhism, as a category for analyzing transnational social support ties, I broaden the understanding of how diaspora is formed, for I look not only at Tibetans in diaspora, but …

The Imperative of Addressing the Contemporary Crisis of Economics with Spiritual Intelligence
2013
Abstract The current global economic crisis has also drawn an increasingly obvious crisis of the economic theories. Thereby are more and more voices that calls for quitting the rather mechanistic, mathematical, determinist or pure rational approaches in favor of either sociological, psychological, historical, cultural or merely ethical ones, or, most often, a combination of some or all of these. In this paper I argue that the most needed approaches are now the anthropological ones that start from the spiritual considerations about human intelligence.
Treasure Hunts in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
2012
The religious dimension of the treasure hunt declined as the nineteenth century progressed. The belief in ghosts lost ground or transformed into spiritualism and an interest in the more or less vulgarized forms of what would become known as ‘parapsychology’.1 Without the ghosts who needed to be redeemed, the religious overtones of treasure hunting disappeared. Even news about treasure in an ecclesiastical context was void of spiritual meaning.
Kontemplativ, handlingsrettet spiritualitet - Stille stund og ledelse i Oxfordbevegelsen belyst ved nedtegnelser fra Erling Wikborg
2014
Author's version of an article in the journal: Teologisk tidsskrift. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/tt/2014/04/kontemplativ_handlingsrettet_spiritualitet_-_stille_stund_ Contemplation and belief in guidance from God had a distinct design in the international ecumenical revival the Oxford Group which gained great support in the interwar period. In this movement, contemplation, called quiet time, was focused on intention and action in order to grasp and carry out God’s guidance. The article examines teaching about and practice of quiet time and guidance in the Oxford Group and shows how these phenomena relate to a broader historical context within Christianity. Note…
El inefable sendero del budismo zen electrónico: Nam June Paik
2009
Nam June Paik conoce en 1958 en Alemania al músico vanguardista John Cage, quien estaba profundamente interesado en el budismo zen. Este compositor norteamericano no sólo convencerá al artista coreano para que oriente su carrera musical hacia la vanguardia, sino que impulsará su interés por el budismo zen. También, su temprana unión con Beuys, Maciunas y otros artistas del movimiento Fluxus le dieron la necesaria libertad para introducirse en el arte más experimental desde principios de los años 60. Paik no sólo ha indagado teóricamente en el budismo zen, sino que incluso mantiene algunas de sus prácticas, aunque no se considere un practicante ortodoxo. Su objetivo es recrear una serie de c…
