Zjawisko wirtualizacji pieniądza w warunkach polskich
2017
Pieniądz jest elementem gospodarki od wieków. Przez ten czas jego forma ewoluowała od prymitywnych produktów do banknotów i monet. Współcześnie coraz powszechniejsze staje się korzystanie z pieniądza elektronicznego, a nawet pieniądza wirtualnego. Pojawiają się zatem pytania, jak ten pieniądz działa, czy pełni takie same funkcje jak tradycyjny pieniądz i czy na pewno jest istotną alternatywą dla obecnie funkcjonującego pieniądza fiducjarnego. W tym kontekście rodzi się pytanie, czy system finansowy w obecnym kształcie może nadal funkcjonować, czy też będzie raczej ewoluować w kierunku systemu opartego na walucie wirtualnej. Celem opracowania jest próba przedstawienia pieniądza wirtualnego j…

Overcoming Essentialism? Students’ Reflections on Learning Intercultural Communication Online
2022
The fields of intercultural communication (IC) and intercultural education are in flux and the paradigmatic shift is away from essentialist approaches on culture and interculturality towards seeing IC and interculturality as flexible, fluid, contradictory, political, and ideological constructs. This study presents a virtual exchange project, a joint introductory course on IC between a Finnish university and a French university. One of the objectives of the course was to provide students with a more critical, non-essentialist perspective on interculturality. This study presents an analysis of 32 students’ texts (learning logs) that are processed qualitatively using content analysis to find a…
Virtual Exchange: Future-ready teaching of multiliteracies across borders and cultures
2020
Virtual exchange is an online form of internationalization at home. Students from different countries collaborate in small, international groups on tasks joined by a common theme. They combine their expertise when solving problems together. The teachers act as mentors, providing facilitation and support for the students during the virtual exchange. The student teams work independently by selecting the tools for the collaboration, allocating the tasks and creating the group’s final product. Virtual exchange is a transnational learning opportunity which enables students to learn and practice how to efficiently combine and make use of their digital, visual, critical, linguistic and intercultur…

Placer y felicidad en los moralistas franceses de finales del siglo XVII y comienzos del siglo XVIII
2023
A finales del siglo XVII y comienzos del siglo XVIII en Francia los aspectos terrenales del placer no tenían cabida en una moral eminentemente cristiana. Los autores que se estudian en esta tesis se alejan de los moralistas clásicos, pues ni pretenden sentar cátedra ni diseccionar la antropología de un ciudadano que ya deja de ser negativa. También se distancian de los libertinos que les seguirán, más próximos a la ficción prerromántica y al sensualismo desprovisto de metafísica. El contexto histórico-social es de interés al profundizar en la aparición de la 'société précieuse' , que se articula en torno a los salones y a los cafés; instituciones donde la mujer gozaría de un papel activo. E…

In the last decades historiography of gothic architecture in the Crown of Aragon has focused on buildings monographs, documentary research and technical change in stone building.
