Parole e figure della passione. Fonti, temi e lessico dell'affettività nel Decameron.
No full textMy research focuses on the literary representation of passions in the Decameron, with particular reference to compassion and envy. Boccaccio’s depiction of these emotional states has been investigated not only in its rhetorical-formal aspects, but also in terms of the philosophical and literary sources to which the author may have drawn. This pair of passions was selected on the basis of two criteria. In the first place, I have tried to give priority to those emotive impulses that are narrative relevant, that is, they play a leading role in the diegetic construction of the plot. Among these, those passions with a certain consistency in the metatextual dimension of the novel book have been selected, as keys to interpretation of the text theoretically involved in the author’s interventions. The emotional states subject to this study, in fact, are not only widely represented within the novellas, but also play a central role in metatextual areas of the Decameron, such as the Proemio and the Introduction to the Fourth Day. In this perspective, considerations of compassion and envy can be taken as a vehicle for Boccaccio’s reflection on his work and his own literary work

No full textDr. Miriam McCormick, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Philosophy, Politics, Economics and Law, discusses her new book, Believing Against the Evidence: Agency and the Ethics of Belief published recently by Routledge. In this book, Dr. McCormick argues that the standards used to evaluate beliefs are not isolated from other evaluative domains. The ultimate criteria for assessing beliefs are the same as those for assessing action because beliefs and actions are both products of agency

Miriam: The Forgotten Heroine of the Exodus
No full textArtykuł podejmuje próbę ukazania wkładu Miriam w proces, w trakcie którego biblijny Izrael wyłania się jako naród. Autor artykułu skupia się na dwóch tekstach: Wj 15,20-21 i Lb 12. Po zaprezentowaniu struktury literackiej wspomnianych perykop i ukazaniu ich powiązań z innymi tekstami ST, autor przedstawia Miriam jako pieśniarkę, prekursorkę liturgii uwielbienia, prorokinię i przewodniczkę ludu. Podkreślając jej cierpienia jako nieodzowny element charyzmatu proroka, autor podkreśla ich wagę dla stwierdzenia autentyczności władzy prorockiej Miriam. Według piszącego, charyzmat prorocki Miriam został przez hagiografa ukazany jako wpajający nadzieję i między innymi polegał na przeprowadzaniu jej rodaków ze świata widzialnego do niewidzialnego, z teraźniejszości w przyszłość i z czasowości w nieskończoność.The study is an attempt to reveal the Miriam’s contribution into process of formation of biblical Israel as nation. Author of deliberations is focusing attention on two fundamental texts, that is Ex 15:20-21 and Num 12. After presentation of the literary structure of selected periscopes – making some important references to other biblical texts of the Old Testament – the author tries to portray Miriam as a singer, a precursor of worship, a prophetess and a guide of the people. Highlighting her suffering as an indispensable element of the prophetic charism, he underlines its importance for verification and authentication of Miriam’s prophetic authority. According to the author, the prophetic charism of Miriam, shown by the hagiographer for the service of hope, consisted, among others, in a “conveying” of her brethren from the visible into invisible world, from the present into the future, and from temporality toward eternity.
