POETESSE DEL RINASCIMENTO ITALIANO
Le poetesse del Rinascimento italiano, nonostante abbiano affrontato molte barriere sociali e
culturali, hanno lasciato un segno significativo nella letteratura del loro tempo. Il
Rinascimento italiano, che si estende dal XIV al XVII secolo, è stato un periodo di fioritura
dell'arte, della letteratura e della filosofia. Sebbene gli uomini dominassero la vita culturale,
alcune donne, come Gaspara Stampa, Vittoria Colonna e Veronica Franco, riuscirono a creare
opere letterarie di valore. La loro poesia ha un grande valore estetico, contenendo riflessioni
sull'amore, la spiritualità, le norme sociali e le questioni politiche.
Gaspara Stampa era nota per i suoi sonetti d'amore, in cui esplorava tutti gli aspetti dell'amore
– dalla gioia al dolore. Vittoria Colonna, invece, si occupava di temi spirituali e religiosi,
mentre Veronica Franco, come cortigiana, scriveva apertamente di amore, potere e della
posizione della donna nella società. Ognuna di loro ha affrontato ostacoli, come l'accesso
limitato all'istruzione e all'editoria, ma nonostante ciò sono riuscite a lasciare un'impronta
indelebile. Il loro contributo alla cultura rinascimentale è stato significativo poiché mettevano
in discussione i ruoli di genere e lottavano per il riconoscimento in una società patriarcale. Le
loro opere sono state riscoperte nell'epoca contemporanea, soprattutto nel contesto della
critica femminista, che sottolinea l'importanza del loro lavoro.The women poets of the Italian Renaissance, despite facing many social and cultural
obstacles, left a significant mark on the literature of that era. The Italian Renaissance, which
spanned from the 14th to the 17th century, was a period of flourishing art, literature, and
philosophy. Although men dominated cultural life, a few women, such as Gaspara Stampa,
Vittoria Colonna, and Veronica Franco, managed to create valuable literary works. Their
poetry is aesthetically rich, containing reflections on love, spirituality, social norms, and
political issues.
Gaspara Stampa was known for her love sonnets, in which she explored all aspects of
love—from joy to sorrow. Vittoria Colonna, on the other hand, dealt with spiritual and
religious themes, while Veronica Franco, as a courtesan, openly wrote about love, power, and
the position of women in society. Each of them faced challenges, such as limited access to
education and publishing, but despite this, they managed to leave an indelible impact. Their
contribution to Renaissance culture was significant as they re-examined gender roles and
fought for recognition in a patriarchal society. Their works have been rediscovered in
contemporary times, especially in the context of feminist criticism, which emphasizes the
importance of their work
ATTACHMENT AND PARENTING STYLES AS PREDICTORS OF BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS
Ovaj završni rad za cilj ima istražiti utjecaj privrženosti i roditeljskog odgojnog stila na razvoj problema u ponašanju kod djece i adolescenata. Privrženost, kao primarna emocionalna veza između djeteta i primarnog skrbnika, igra ključnu ulogu u djetetovu emocionalnom i socijalnom razvoju, a njezina kombinacija s roditeljskim odgojnim stilovima može povećati ili smanjiti rizik od razvoja problema u ponašanju. Naglasak je na važnosti preventivnih programa i ciljanih intervencija usmjerenih na pružanje podrške djeci i mladima s rizikom za razvoj problema u ponašanju te onima koji već pokazuju probleme u ponašanju.This final paper aims at investigating the impact of attachment and parenting style on the development of behavioral problems in children and adolescents. Attachment, as the primary emotional bond between a child and a primary caregiver, plays a crucial role in the child's emotional and social development, and its combination with parenting styles can either increase or decrease the risk of behavioral problems. Emphasis is placed on the importance of preventive programs and targeted interventions aimed at supporting children and youth at risk of developing behavioral problems, as well as those who already exhibit such issues
PEDAGOŠKE KOMPETENCIJE I PRIVRŽENOST KOD DJECE BEZ ODGOVARAJUĆE RODITELJSKE SKRBI
Jedan od glavnih izazova u današnjem društvu je sve veći broj djece bez odgovarajuće roditeljske skrbi. Ova djeca, zbog nedostatka stalne i sigurne emocionalne podrške, često imaju poteškoća u razvoju sigurne privrženosti, što može značajno utjecati na njihov cjelokupni psihosocijalni razvoj. Privrženost se smatra ključnim faktorom u emocionalnom razvoju djece, a teorija privrženosti Johna Bowlbyja naglašava važnost ranih emocionalnih veza u razvoju djeteta.
Djeca koja rastu bez roditeljske skrbi, primjerice u institucijama ili udomiteljskim obiteljima, često razvijaju nesigurne oblike privrženosti. To uključuje obrasce nesigurno-izbjegavajuće, nesigurno-otporne ili dezorganizirane privrženosti, što dodatno otežava njihov emocionalni razvoj i može rezultirati problemima u odnosima i ponašanju u kasnijem životu.
Pedagozi imaju ključnu ulogu u pružanju podrške ovoj djeci. Pedagoške kompetencije, koje uključuju razumijevanje razvojnih potreba djece, emocionalnu inteligenciju, empatiju i specifične pedagoške intervencije, ključne su za poticanje razvoja sigurne privrženosti. U radu se ističe kako pedagozi moraju imati stručne kompetencije koje im omogućuju stvaranje sigurnog okruženja za djecu, što uključuje poticanje pozitivnih emocionalnih veza, razvijanje socijalnih vještina i pružanje podrške za psihološku stabilnost.
Suvremena pedagoška praksa naglašava važnost individualnog pristupa svakom djetetu, uzimajući u obzir specifične potrebe djece bez roditeljske skrbi. U tom kontekstu, ključna pedagoška intervencija je poticanje sigurne privrženosti kroz programe temeljene na teoriji privrženosti. Istraživanja pokazuju da su takvi programi učinkoviti u poboljšanju osjetljivosti skrbnika na emocionalne potrebe djece, što posljedično poboljšava razvoj sigurne privrženosti.
Zaključno, djeca bez odgovarajuće roditeljske skrbi imaju povećan rizik od emocionalnih i psihosocijalnih problema zbog nesigurne privrženosti. Pedagozi, kao ključni profesionalci u njihovom razvoju, moraju razvijati svoje kompetencije kako bi na odgovarajući način reagirali na potrebe ove ranjive skupine djece. Uloga pedagoga u stvaranju stabilnog i sigurnog okruženja od presudne je važnosti za razvoj djece i njihove dugoročne šanse za uspješan psihosocijalni razvoj.One of the main challenges in today’s society is the growing number of children without adequate parental care. These children, due to the lack of consistent and secure emotional support, often struggle to develop secure attachment, which can significantly affect their overall psychosocial development. Attachment is considered a key factor in children's emotional development, and John Bowlby's attachment theory emphasizes the importance of early emotional bonds in a child’s growth.
Children raised without parental care, for example in institutions or foster families, often develop insecure forms of attachment. This includes patterns of insecure-avoidant, insecure-resistant, or disorganized attachment, which further complicates their emotional development and can lead to issues in relationships and behavior later in life.
Educators play a crucial role in supporting these children. Pedagogical competencies, including an understanding of children's developmental needs, emotional intelligence, empathy, and specific pedagogical interventions, are essential for fostering the development of secure attachment. The paper highlights that educators must have professional competencies that enable them to create a safe environment for children, which includes fostering positive emotional bonds, developing social skills, and providing support for psychological stability.
Modern pedagogical practice emphasizes the importance of an individualized approach to each child, taking into account the specific needs of children without parental care. In this context, a key pedagogical intervention is the promotion of secure attachment through programs based on attachment theory. Research shows that such programs are effective in improving caregivers' sensitivity to children's emotional needs, which in turn enhances the development of secure attachment.
In conclusion, children without adequate parental care are at increased risk of emotional and psychosocial problems due to insecure attachment. Educators, as key professionals in their development, must develop their competencies to appropriately respond to the needs of this vulnerable group of children. The role of educators in creating a stable and secure environment is crucial for the children’s development and their long-term chances for successful psychosocial growth
STUDNETS' PREFERENCES FOR KLAPA SINGING
U radu su ispitane preferencije studenata prema klapskom pjevanju. Unutar istraživanja načinjen je mrežni anketni upitnik koji se sastojao od dvaju dijelova. Prvi dio bio je Upitnik općih podataka, a drugi dio pod nazivom Preferencije studenata prema klapskim napjevima. Upitnik se sastojao od devet klapskih napjeva sporoga, umjerenoga i brzoga tempa, u izvedbama muških, ženskih i mješovitih klapa. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od sto pedeset dvoje studenata svih studijskih godina u Republici Hrvatskoj.
Dobiveni rezultati ukazuju na to da postoji razlika u preferencijama studenata prema muškim, ženskim i mješovitim klapama tako što im se više sviđaju muške klape u odnosu na ženske klape i mješovite klape, ali ne pokazuju značaju razliku u preferencijama ženskih klapa u odnosu na mješovite klape. Nadalje, rezultati ukazuju i na to da studenti više preferiraju muške i ženske klape u odnosu na studentice, no, ne pokazuju značajnu razliku u preferencijama prema mješovitim klapama.The paper examines students' preferences towards klapa singing. As part of the research,
an online questionnaire consisting of two parts was created. The first part was the
Questionnaire of general data , and the second part was entitled Student preferences towards
klapa singing The questionnaire consisted of nine klapa songs in slow, moderate, and fast
tempo , i n the performances of male, female and mixed klapas. The research was conducted on
a sample of one hundred and fifty two students of all study years in the Republic of Croatia.
The obtained results indicate that there is a difference in the preferences of the students
towards male, female and mixed klapa s students prefer male klapas more than female klapas
and mixed klapas , but they do not show a significant difference in the preferences of female
klapas compared to mixed klapas . Furthermore, the results indicate that male students prefer
m ale and female klapas more than female students, but do not show a significant difference in
preferences for mixed klapas
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BIG FIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND MOVIE GENRE PREFERENCES AMONG A SAMPLE OF CROATIAN STUDENTS
This study examined the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and movie genre
preferences among Croatian student respondents. The Big Five traits of 203 participants were
measured as well as their level of enjoyment of eleven different film genres namely: Thriller,
Romance, Western, Comedy, Action, Drama, Science Fiction, Crime, Horror, Fantasy, and
Musical. Other than personality traits, factors as their movie-watching frequency, whether
they identify as movie lovers/enthusiasts or not, their enjoyment of happy and realistic
endings in movies, and their enjoyment of watching movies alone and in the company of
others were considered.
Several significant associations were found between movie genre preferences and the Big
Five. Specifically, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness were positively linked to a
preference for thrillers, while extraversion and agreeableness were associated with a
preference for romance. Comedy enjoyment was positively related to both agreeableness and
conscientiousness, while the preference for drama with the traits of extraversion,
agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness. Openness was also positively linked to a
preference for science fiction and fantasy. The enjoyment of Crime was positively associated
with openness and agreeableness. Additionally, preferences for musicals were positively
associated with agreeableness and extraversion. After the correlation analysis, 11 regression
analyses in which additional measures of movie-watching preferences were added.
Our regression analysis showed that the predictor openness showed a significant positive
relationship and the predictor drawn to happy endings a significant negative relationship with
the enjoyment of Thrillers. The predictors of agreeableness and drawn to happy endings both
showed a strong and significant positive relationship with the enjoyment of Romance.
Openness showed a significant negative relationship with the enjoyment of Romance. The
predictor gender showed a significant positive relationship with the enjoyment of Westerns.The predictors drawn to happy endings and agreeableness showed a significant positive
relationship with the enjoyment of Comedy. None of the predictors showed a statistically
significant relationship with the enjoyment of Action. The predictor drawn to realistic
endings showed a positive relationship with the enjoyment of Drama. The predictor enjoying
watching alone showed a very strong positive relationship with the enjoyment of Drama.
Movie-watching frequency and drawn to happy endings showed a negative relationship with
the enjoyment of Drama. Openness and Emotional stability showed a positive relationship
with the enjoyment of Science Fiction. The predictors conscientiousness and drawn to
realistic endings showed a significant negative relationship with the enjoyment of Science
Fiction. The predictor movie lover showed a positive relationship with the enjoyment of
Crime and drawn to happy endings a negative relationship with the enjoyment of Crime. The
predictors of gender and movie-watching frequency showed a significant positive relationship
with the enjoyment of Horror. Drawn to happy endings showed a significant negative
relationship with the enjoyment of Horror. Openness showed a significant positive
relationship with the enjoyment of Fantasy. Drawn to realistic endings showed a significant
negative relationship with the enjoyment of Fantasy. Drawn to happy endings showed a
strong significant positive relationship with the enjoyment of Musicals. The predictor
extraversion showed a significant positive relationship with the enjoyment of musicals. The
predictors of emotional stability and conscientiousness showed a significant negative
relationship with the enjoyment of Musicals. Thus, these findings contribute to the
understanding of how personality differences affect media choice. The practical implications
of these findings can be useful to content creators, marketers, and recommendation systems
about tailoring movie recommendations to users’ personalities to enhance viewer satisfaction
and engagement
The role of metaphor in defining the contemporary European context in the public media
Geopolitičke promjene i politička previranja unutar Europske unije ostavile su traga u
političkom diskursu. Stoga pojam "Europa" postaje sve veći izazov za razumijevanje. Da bi se
mogla definirati nova politička stvarnost, u upotrebu se uvode se i novi pojmovi. Stoga se
metaforički jezik uvodi kao spoznajni modus relevantan za razumijevanje i objašnjenje novih
društvenih i političkih promjena na europskome prostoru jer otjelovljuje mnoge osobine
potrebne za postizanje spoznajne veze između poznatog i nepoznatog. Na taj način su nastali
pojmovi koji se koriste u kategorizaciji nove europske stvarnosti. Osnovna je namjera ovog
doktorskog rada izdvojiti i analizirati novi pojmovnik, tj. metaforički pomak značenja koji se
koristi u opisivanju procesa integracije i proširenja Europske unije te migrantske krize koja se
pojavila na europskom tlu. U uvodu se analiziraju različite škole u proučavanju metafore
(Black 1962, 1993, Richards 1965, Ricoeur 1981, 2003). Postavke kognitivne lingvistike
elaboriraju se na temelju kognitivne teorije Langackera (1987, 1990, 2007) i Crofta i Crusa
(2004). Potom se elaborira teorija konceptualne metafore (Lakoff i Johnson 1980, Lakoff
1987, Goatly 1997, 2007, Fauconnier 1985, 1997, Fauconnier i Turner 2002, Kövecses (1990,
2005, 2010a). Metafore u političkom diskursu proučavaju se u okviru teorije kritičke analize
diskursa (Wodak 1989, 2015, Wodak i Meyer 2001, van Dijk 1988a, 1997, 2001) i one koja
proučava odnose između jezika, moći i ideologije (Musolff 2004, 2012). Analiziraju se
metafore u suvremenom europskom kontekstu (Šarić 2005, 2011, 2014, Škara 2005, 2011,
Cunningham-Parmeter 2011, Biria 2012), što se potkrepljuje obradom istih u četiri javna
medija (Slobodna Dalmacija, 24sata, Guardian, Independent) tijekom 2015. i 2019. godine.
Ovo istraživanje bazira se na analizi različitih metaforičkih izraza vezanih uz koncept
Europske unije i imigracije. Rezultati analize odabranog korpusa pokazuju da se Euroska
unija konceptualizira na različite načine, primjerice kao PROSTOR, ZAJEDNICA, TIJELO,
KUĆA, BRAK ili ZGRADA, dok se imigracija često konceptualizira kao PUTOVANJE,
KRETANJE VODE, INVAZIJA i OBJEKT. Uočene su i razlike u konceptualizaciji Europske
unije i imigracije u hrvatskom i engleskom medijskom diskursu, koje su vidljive u Zaključku.
Primjetna je upotreba novih metafora kojima se definira europska politička stvarnost.
Postavljena hipoteza nalazi uporište u rezultatima analize. Ovaj rad upućuje na potrebu
daljnjeg istraživanja ove tematike koja nije dovoljno istražena, a može značajno doprinijeti
boljem razumijevanju geopolitičkih promjena u prostoru Europske unije.Geopolitical changes and political turbulances within the European Union have left a
significant trace in political discourse. Therefore, the term ''Europe'' is becoming a bigger
challenge to handle. In order to define the new european political reality, new terms come in
use everyday. So, the metaphorical language is introduced as a cognitive modus relevant for
understanding and explaining new social and political changes within the european reality,
because metaphor embodies a lot of features needed for establishing cognitive relation
between the known and the unknown. So, new terms arise from the categorization of the new
european reality. The primary aim of this Phd thesis is to register and analyze the new
glossary or the metaphorical shift in meaning used to describe the processes of integration and
expansion of the EU and the migration crisis which appeared in Europe. In the introduction,
different schools in studying metaphor are analyzed (Black 1962, 1993, Richards 1965,
Ricoeur 1981, 2003). The theoretical foundations of cognitive linguistics are elaborated on the
basis of cognitive theory of Langacker (1987, 1990, 2007) and Croft and Cruse (2004).
Furthermore, the theory of conceptual metaphor is elaborated in details (Lakoff and Johnson
1980, Lakoff 1987, Goatly 1997, 2007, Fauconnier 1985, 1997, Fauconnier and Turner 2002,
Kövecses 1990, 2005, 2010a). Metaphors in the political discourse are analyzed within the
theory of critical discourse analysis (Wodak 1989, 2015, Wodak and Meyer 2001, van Dijk
1988a, 1997, 2001) and the one that examines the relations between language, power and
ideology (Musolff 2004, 2012). Metaphors used in the contemporary european context are
analyzed (Šarić 2005, 2011, 2014, Škara 2005, 2011, Cunningham-Parmeter 2011, Biria
2012) within four different public media (Slobodna Dalmacija, 24sata, Guardian,
Independent) during 2015 and 2019. This research is based on the analysis of different
metaphorical expressions related to the concept of Europen Union and the immigration issue.
The results of the chosen corpus show that the European Union is often conceptualized in
different ways, as SPACE, COMMUNITY, BODY, HOME, MARRIAGE or BUILDING,
while the immigration is often conceptualized as JOURNEY, WATER MOVEMENT,
INVASION and OBJECT. Differences in conceptualization of the European union and
immigration in the croatian and english media discourse have been registered, which can be
found in the Conclusion. The use of new metaphors which define the new european political
realityis relevant. The results of this research confirm the validity of the hypothesis within the
Phd thesis. This dissertation can serve as a solid basis for further research of the topic which
is not elaborated enough, and therefore can contribute to better understanding of geopolitical
changes in the European union
