    Balancing diets : diverse values shaping sustainable food choices

    No full text
    Purpose: The paper aims to explore how values and knowledge are expressed in student’s discussions about food and health. Design/methodology/approach: Food practices present a complex phenomenon extending beyond biomedical descriptions, including social dynamics of food in families and communities. Contextual conditions of social groups and settings have significant impacts on food choices and practices. Although values constitute a central part of educational goals, deliberate values education remains an often-neglected area, with a tendency in both curricula and educational practice to focus on knowledge and overlook how values intersect with knowledge. The paper utilises group interviews supported by participant observations to study the food and health practices as expressed in students' discussions. Findings: The paper’s findings show how values are expressed together with knowledge as value-knowledges around food and health within the social contexts of family, cultural identities and peer relationships. While moving through their lives, students draw on and utilise biomedical, social-cultural and sensory value-knowledges, simultaneously considering the nutrition and taste of foods, the value of connecting with family and peers in cultural settings as well as getting enough food to feel satiated. Originality/value: The paper presents an original approach around the necessity to consider and integrate cultural identities in discussions and education about food and health to empower students and their communities in a way that is socially just and equitable. This involves shifting discussions of health education away from students as (ir)rational obstacles but rather as partners in co-creating knowledge for sustainable food and health equity. © 2024, Emma Oljans, Tecklah Usai, Doroth Chinofunga and Martin Mickelsson

    Some Microbes Are Healthy but Not Too Much : Co-creating Knowledge About Food, Health and Antimicrobial Resistance

    The paper aims to, together with youth, create knowledge regarding their relation to health, food choices, and how these can be expressions of their ability to achieve desired health-related goals.  A specific focus is how youths experience that their health goals and food choices are affected by social, political and commercial determinants of health and how resulting health literacy capabilities relate to the sustainability challenge of antimicrobial resistance.  To this end, a structured observational study was conducted in a region of Zimbabwe to explore youth's health literacy capabilities.</p

    The search for complete humanity: From the Perspective of Mysticism and Humanistic Psychotherapy

    No full text
    Diplomová práce se zabývá hledáním plného lidství z pohledu mystiky a hu- manistické psychoterapie. Autor rozděluje práci do tří bloků. V prvním vy- chází z mystiky Dorothee Sölle a její knihy Mystika a vzdor, která práci pro- půjčuje mystickou spiritualitu všednosti a každodenního života. Z knihy si autor volí mystickou cestu "Já a oproštění od Já", která do práce přináší kon- cept ega, konzumu či vztah k lidskému nitru. Druhý blok se zabývá terapeu- tickým přínosem humanistických psychoterapeutů Virginie Satirové a Carla Ransoma Rogerse. Autor představuje jejich terapeutické modely ve třech kapitolách: Vývoji směru, Obraz člověka a Terapeutický proces a cíl. Do práce tak pronikají koncepty pro plnost lidského života: lidský vztah, kongruence a důležitost sebepoznání. Kongruence se stává klíčovým pojmem, který v sobě nese až spirituální momenty. Třetí blok je vymezením společného prostoru pro mystiku a humanistickou psychoterapii. Autor v dnešní postmoderní at- mosféře představuje "mystického člověka", ve kterém propojuje poznatky ze dvou předešlých bloků. Mystický člověk v sobě naplňuje prvky všední spiri- tuality a kongruence. Na představené pojmy z mystiky vrhá mystický člověk jasnější světlo a díky pojmům z humanistické psychoterapie mystiku přesněji zasazuje do života v postmoderní době....The diploma th sis is conc rn d with uncov ring th full sp ctrum of humanity through th prism of mysticism and humanistic psychoth rapy.

    The Symbolics of Death and the Construction of Christian Asceticism: Greek Patristic Voices from the Fourth through Seventh Centuries

    No full text
    This thesis examines the role which death plays in the development of a uniquely Christian identity in John Climacus’ seventh-century work, the Ladder of Divine Ascent and the Greek ascetic literature of the previous centuries. I argue that John Climacus deploys language of death, inherited from a range of Greek Christian literature, as the symbolic framework within which he describes the ascetic lifestyle as developing a Christian identity. This framework is expressed by thee ascetic practice of ‘memory of death’ and by practices of renunciation described as ‘death’ to oneself and others. In order to understand Climacus’ unique achievement in regard to engagement with death it is necessary first to situate the Ladder and its author within the literature of the Greek ascetic tradition, within which Climacus consciously wrote. In the Introduction I develp ways Climacus draws on and develops traditional material, while arguing that it must be treated and interpreted in its own right and not simply as his ‘sources.’ I then examine the vocabulary of death and the lines of thought opened up in the New Testament. Chapter One argues that the memory of death plays an important role in Athanasius’ Vita Antonii. Chapter Two surveys material from the fifth- and sixth-century Egyptian and Palestinian deserts in which memory and practice of death are deployed in a wider variety of ways and are increasingly connected to ascetics’ fundamental understanding of self and salvation. Chapter Three examines the sixth-century Quaestiones et Responsiones of Barsanuphius and John of Gaza in which further elaboration of the same thematic is discernible. Chapter Four concludes this thesis with a sustained reading of John Climacus’ Scala Paradisi in which the various thematics centring on memory and practice of death are synthesized into the existential framework and practical response, respectively
