THE ROLE OF POLITICAL IDENTITY IN SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT IN GREECE
No full textThis research aimed to investigate the effect of gender, generation, and political identity on the social representations of the political right and left in Greece. Participants (N = 400) represented three generations (20-30, 40-55, and over 60 years of age). To measure political identity, participants responded to a seven-point Likert scale of political self-placement and then indicated the political party they had voted for in the last elections. To measure the social representations of the political right and left, the method of free associations was used, asking participants to write three words or phrases that came to mind when they heard the word "Left" and another three when they heard the word "Right". For the statistical processing of the qualitative data Correspondence Factor Analysis and Automatic Hierarchical Classification were applied. Τhe results highlighted the significance of political identity, which becomes prominent when it comes to ideological-political issues, with gender and generation not having any significant effect on participants' responses. Based on their political identity, individuals represented the ideological space they belonged to positively and the opposing space negatively, focusing on specific dimensions. Furthermore, the left political identity appeared more fragmented compared to the right political identity, which was presented as clearer and more distinct
SIGNIFICANCE OF NURTURING PERMA FLOURISHING IN HIGHER EDUCATION: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW
No full textThis integrated review explored the significance of PERMA, a multidimensional well-being framework, and PERMA-based interventions in promoting student well-being within higher education contexts. The literature search resulted in 16 studies, and the synthesizing of key research findings supports the effectiveness of PERMA-based intervention on students' overall well-being. The interventions centered on cultivating PERMA (positive emotions, engagement, relationship, meaning, accomplishment) offered as semester courses, classroom-based curricula, or intervention programs were found successful in improving well-being, happiness, life satisfaction, motivation, relationship building, engagement in learning, and reducing negative emotions, stress, academic boredom, anxiety, depression. Overall, the review findings demonstrate that embedding a PERMA-based well-being program as a holistic approach in education would foster a supportive learning environment and social connection in promoting individual and collective well-being among the students. Future studies could strengthen the present findings and respond to the limitations of the existing studies, which would provide a better understanding of the application and effects of PERMA-based programs
Le Mirofore nelle liturgie in lingua greca dell’Oriente cristiano. Alcuni aspetti e problemi aperti
No full textThis study examines the earliest attestations of the veneration of the Myrrhbearers within the now-defunct cathedral liturgical traditions of Jerusalem and Constantinople, and their subsequent influence on the currently practiced mixed rite conventionally referred to as “Byzantine.” Particular attention is given to certain issues, such as the rationale behind the annual commemoration of the Myrrhbearers on the third Sunday of Lent in Constantinople, and the overlap between the figures of the Myrrhbearers and the deaconesses within the lost liturgical tradition of the Anastasis in Jerusalem.

Is Dream Still Unconscious? Imaginary Immersivity and Dream Machines in Contemporary Visual Episteme
No full textThe article assumes the existence of a mutual cultural influence between the technologies circulating in a given context, the forms and strategies by which dreaming is visually and narratively encoded in the media, and contemporary scientific theories of dreaming. From this perspective, I investigate an epistemological fracture that emerges in contemporary cognitive theories of dreaming: one that sees the dream no longer as unconscious, but as a conscious model of the world acting offline rather than online. In these theories, the conscious character of the dream experience is exemplified precisely by the idea of a “virtual reality” acting inside the brain, capable of optimizing our relationship with the world through a precise training that takes place in a safe space. From this acknowledgment, the influences of these theories are considered in the complex narrative structures (often related to the puzzle movie form) that characterize contemporary films centered on the hybridization between dream and virtual reality. These are often exemplified by the idea of a “dream machine” that allows multiple users to access a single dream space, as happens in Paprika (Satoshi Kon, 2006), a film centered on an imaginary device that allows psychotherapists to enter the dreams of their patients
