Theology, Politics and Society: the Missing Link. Studying Religion in the Mamluk Period
No full textThe chapter focuses on a few problematic
topics which have so far received little attention in contemporary
scholarship on religion in the Mamluk period. In particular it tries to shed light on what the author describes as a missing link between theological production and its social and political
significance, between theologians and society at large, between ideas about God and their relevance to people’s lives.
The article argues that exploring the link between society and theology may be a rewarding research enterprise. An attention to this link is generally missing in scholarship both on the intellectual and the socio-religious history of the Mamluk period. The paper identifies the reasons for this state of affairs and provides a sample of materials that proves that we do not lack the resources for pursuing research in this direction. The paper advocates an interdisciplinary approach where the efforts of experts in Islamic theology and historians interested in religion and society ought to merge

No full textThis is a review of a dense and rich book in which the author, Konrad Hirschler, explores the transformation of reading practices and the spread of the written word in the so-called Islamic Middle Period (10th-early 16th centuries). This study focuses in particular on the lands of Egypt and Syria and their main urban centers, Cairo and Damascus, but also Aleppo
The development of a scientific culture in Brazil: contributions of Carolina Martuscelli Bori
No full textUma biografia científica é geralmente escrita com o objetivo de interpretar tanto o caráter mutante da prática científica quanto as características individuais dos cientistas. Pela identificação dos interesses pessoais de cientistas pode ocorrer uma mudança no modo como a ciência é entendida. O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar o desenvolvimento da ciência e da psicologia no Brasil tendo a biografia científica de Carolina Bori como ponto de partida. Escrever sobre Carolina Martuscelli Bori é escrever sobre uma pesquisadora que teve um grande impacto sobre o desenvolvimento científico no Brasil. Pode-se dizer que mesmo depois de sua morte a memória de Carolina Bori influencia pesquisas, planejamento de cursos, debates sobre ciência, etc. Exemplos disso incluem os pelo menos 11 artigos sobre ela, escritos entre 2004 e 2012. Além disso, ela já havia sido homenageada com uma edição especial da revista Psicologia USP. Para atingir este objetivo, foi necessário reunir informações sobre ela disponíveis nesses materiais, em depoimentos de uma sobrinha dela, uma funcionária da Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciência, e de 15 pesquisadores de diferentes áreas que trabalharam com ela. Utilizou-se, também, cartas pessoais que ela trocou com o psicólogo estadunidense Fred S. Keller (1899-1996), que se tornou um mestre e amigo pessoal, bem como nos artigos assinados por ela. Carolina Martuscelli nasceu em São Paulo em 4 de janeiro 1924 e era a filha mais velha de sua família, entre outros quatro filhos. Seu pai era italiano e sua mãe era brasileira. Frequentou uma escola alemã desde os seis anos de idade e formou-se como professora. Como pedagoga, estudou motivação do ponto de vista Gestalt sob orientação de Tamara Dembo durante seu mestrado nos Estados Unidos, e com Annita Cabral durante seu doutorado, no Brasil. No início de 1950, Carolina se casou com um italiano, cujo nome de família ela assumiu e com quem teve um filho. Eles se divorciaram alguns anos após o nascimento de seu filho, mas ela manteve o nome de casada. Depois de um problema pessoal com a chefe da cadeira onde trabalhava, Carolina Bori foi afastada da universidade. Na ocasião, Bori foi convidada para coordenar o departamento de psicologia do curso de pedagogia em Rio Claro. Durante esse tempo, ela foi aluna de Fred S. Keller, e, juntos, escreveram os primeiros trabalhos em um campo que desenvolveram no Brasil e que alguns psicólogos ofereceram resistência. Em 1962, ela foi convidada para criar e coordenar o departamento de psicologia da Universidade de Brasília, na capital brasileira recém-fundada. O curso, com base na experimentação e técnicas comportamentais, começou em 1964, mas em 1965 o governo militar invadiu a universidade e o departamento foi extinto. Com isso, Bori voltou à USP e se tornou a principal pesquisadora no campo da Instrução Programada e PSI no país. Em 1969, ela se submeteu ao concurso de livre-docência, no entanto, devido a rivalidades políticas, seu certificado foi negado. Ela também orientou teses de mestrado e doutorado, dirigiu sociedades científicas que lutaram por melhores condições de ensino e pesquisa no país, contribuiu para o reconhecimento legal da Psicologia no Brasil e foi fundamental para a criação do sistema de ciência e tecnologia brasileira. A partir da biografia científica de Bori pode-se observar uma série de características da ciência e da psicologia no Brasil e como algumas preocupações pessoais e problemas podem levar ao desenvolvimento do campo.A scientific biography is usually written with the aim of interpreting both the mutant character of scientific paractice and the individual characteristics of scientists. Identifying the personal interests of scientists brings about a change in the way science is understood. Writing about Carolina Martuscelli Bori is to write about a researcher who had a great impact on the scientific development in Brazil. One may say that even after her death, the memory of Carolina Bori proceeds to influence researches, cost planning, discussions concerning science etc. Examples of those include at least 12 articles about her written from 2004 to 2012. Furthermore, she had already been honored with a special edition of the Psicologia USP journal. Once scientific activity is necessarily identified with the identities of its paractitioners, the aim of the present work is to analyze the development of science and psychology in Brazil having the biography of Carolina Bori as a starting point. In order to achieve that aim it is necessary to gather the information about her available in those materials, in the accounts of a relative of hers and of 14 researchers from different fields who worked with her, in personal letters she exchanged with North-American psychologist Fred S. Keller (1899-1996), who became a master and friend of hers, as well as in the articles she signed. Carolina Martuscelli was born in São Paulo on January 4th 1924 and she was the eldest daughter in her family, among four other children. Her father was Italian and her mother was Brazilian. She attended a German school from the age of six and graduated as a teacher. As a pedagogue, she studied motivation from the gestalt point of view with Tamara Dembo during her masters degree in the United States, and with Annita Cabral during her doctorate in Brazil. In the early 1950s, Carolina married an Italian man, whose family name she assumed and with whom she had a son. They divorced few years after the birth of their son but she kept her married name. After a personal problem with her supervisor, Carolina Bori was withdrawn from university. On that occasion, Bori was invited to coordinate the psychology department of the pedagogy course in Rio Claro. In 1962, she was invited to create and coordinate the Psychology Department of Brasília University, in the recently founded Brazilian capital. The course, based on experimentation and behavioral techniques, started in 1964, but in 1965 the military government invaded the university and that Department was extinct. Therewith, Bori returned to USP and became the main author in the field of Programmed Instruction and PSI within the country. In 1969 she took an aptitude test which certifies the candidates quality of teaching and researching skills, however, due to political rivalries her certificate was denied. She also tutored nearly a hundred masters and doctorate theses, she was bound to scientific societies struggling for better teaching and researching conditions in the country, she contributed to the legal recognition of Psychology in Brazil and she was pivotal in the creation of the Brazilian science and technology system. From Boris scientific biography one can observe a number of characteristics of science and psychology in Brazil and how some personal concerns and problems may lead to the development of the field

A Scholar in the Shadow: Essays in the Legal and Theological Thought of Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
No full textIbn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (1292-1350), the author of several key-works in Islamic law, theology, and mysticism, is chiefly known in Western scholarship as the most devoted disciple of the great Hanbali theologian and jurisconsult, Ibn Taymiyyah (1263-1328). While substantial innovative research was recently published by Western scholars about Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah’s broad literary corpus remains almost unexplored. Although some of Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah's works were recognized as unique and, in some cases, were used as the almost exclusive source for research, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah was rarely credited for them as an independent and substantial thinker.
This book examines Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah’s contributions to several fields of Islamic knowledge. The articles here offer new insights on his legal and theological thought, while revealing his views on a wide range of subjects, thematically divided into Society and Law, God and Man, and Body and Soul. The book also offers a fresh reading in the biographical sources on Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah. This literary work exposes so far overlooked details on his biography and suggests some new trajectories for future research. The articles featured in this volume, written by leading scholars in their respective fields, portray Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah as a systematic theologian and scholar, who strives to integrate highly theoretical discussions with practical aspects of everyday life.
A Scholar in the Shadow is the first comprehensive academic treatment of Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah’s legal and theological thought. The book attempts to decipher the appeal of Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah to modern Muslims and others interested in early medieval Islam, while highlighting Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah’s contributions to Islamic thought
Analysis of selected literaty works of the author Lila Prap
No full textNamen magistrskega dela je predstavili avtorico Lilijano Praprotnik Zupančič, ki je znana pod umetniškim imenom Lila Prap, opisati osnovne pojme, ki so temeljni slog avtoričinega ustvarjanja in analizirati tri izbrana knjižna dela.
Lila Prap je sodobna slovenska mladinska pisateljica, ki piše in ustvarja dela, namenjana odraslim in otrokom. Ustvarja za vsa področja književnosti, največ del ima na področju proze, nekaj pa tudi na področju poezije in dramatike. Njena dela temeljijo na besedni igri. V zapisih lahko opazimo, da namerno krši glasoslovne, oblikoslovno in skladenjske jezikovne prvine. Avtorica ima poseben slog, ki temelji na nonsensu, paradoksih, vsebinskih obratih, presenečanjih in nenavadnih idejah. Bralce, tako mlajše kot starejše, nagovarja s humorjem, posredno humanistično obarvano vsebino in nenavadnimi risbami.
Besedno igro, nonsens in vse značilne elemente avtoričinega ustvarjanja lahko opazimo v izbranih zbirkah Jezične zgodbe, Resnične pravljice in pripovedke ter v zbirki Zgodbe in nezgodbe. Zbirke sestavljajo številne zgodbe, ki sodijo v kratko prozo, zasledimo pa lahko tudi nekaj poezije. Zgodbe popestrijo ilustracije. Zbirki Jezične zgodbe in Zgodbe in nezgodbe je ilustriral Bori Zupančič, zbirko Resnične pravljice in pripovedke pa je ilustrirala Lila Prap kar sama.The purpose of the master\u27s thesis is to present the author Lilijana Praprotnik Zupančič known by her pen name Lila Prap, describe basic concepts that are characteristic of the style of author\u27s work, and analyse three selected literary works.
Lila Prap is a contemporary Slovenian youth writer who writes and creates works for adults and children. She creates in all areas of literature, most of her works are in prose and some also in poetry and dramatics. Her works are based on word play. She intentionally violates phonological, morphological and syntactical elements of language. She has a special style based on nonsense, paradoxes, content twist and turn, surprises and unusual ideas. She speaks to readers, both young and old, through humour, whereas indirectly through humanistic coloured content and unusual drawings.
The word play, nonsense and all the characteristic elements of the author\u27s creation can be seen in selected collections, i.e. Jezične zgodbe (Tattling Stories), Resnične pravljice in pripovedke (True Fairy Tales and Narratives), and Zgodbe in nezgodbe (Stories and Not-stories). These collections consist of many stories that fall into short prose, whereas also some poetry can be observed. The stories are enriched by illustrations. The collections Jezične zgodbe (Tattling Stories), and Zgodbe in nezgodbe (Stories and Not-stories) were illustrated by Bori Zupančič, whereas Resnične pravljice in pripovedke (True Fairy Tales and Narratives) was illustrated by Lila Prap herself
Natabori and Unfinished Statues
No full textJapan in ancient times appears to have been divided into two cultural spheres, east and west, with the border approximately at the central part of its main island (approximately the line connecting Atsumi and Noto Peninsulas). As early as the Jōmon Period the styles of the pre-historic pottery were different in these two spheres. Still now the eastern (Kantō) and western (Kansai) dialects are bordered by this line. The author has stated, in his article “Wooden Statues in Nata-bori in the Kantō District” in No. 186 of this Journal, that nata-bori (rough carving) statues peculiar to eastern regions are found only in the area east of this border line.
Some scholars hold, however, that there exist some nata-bori statues in the Kinki District west of the said line, and that, because these are unfinished works, the nata-bori statues in Kantō should also be regarded as unfinished works. The specimens heretofore listed as similar to the eastern nata-bori are : Avalokitesvara in the Kongōrin-ji, and Avalokitesvara and Mahasri in the Ichiino-dera, Shiga Prefecture ; Bodhisattva attendant to Bhaisajya-guru in the Kaichō-ji, Nara Prefecture; and Eleven-head Avalokitesvara in the Onsen-ji and Bhaisajya-guru in the Hōon-ji, Hyogo Prefecture. These certainly are unfinished works retaining marks left by a round chisel, but they are different from the nata-bori statues of the east. The marks of the round chisel on the eastern nata-bori statues are mostly intended effects, while the above-mentioned six examples of the west are evidently incomplete works. If the ridges remaining between the chisel marks on the eastern nata-bori statues were levelled down, the statues would become very the in figures, while the same treatment on the statues in the Kinki District would create well-balanced figures. Furthermore, many of the eastern nata-bori works are decorated with jewel chains on the breasts and other ornaments painted in ink ; these ornaments are only simple ones and are added in brushwork instead of carving, but they can be regarded as one of evidences that these statues are finished works. The statues in the Kinki have no such ornaments.
It is possible that the origin of the nata-bori was in unfinished carving, whose rough chisel marks casually attracted the interest of the less sophisticated people in the eastern regions. The present writer believes, however, as he discussed in the previous article, that the majority of the existing nata-bori statues were produced after the nata-bori style had become a vogue; that is to say, he believes that they represent a style and are not unfinished works.journal articl

Hate speech among young people on the Internet
No full textPrisutnost govora mržnje na internetu, vršnjačkog nasilja i prevelike izloženosti mladih nasilju
predstavlja ozbiljan problem današnjice. U prvom dijelu rada objasnila sam pojam govora
mržnje i kako zapravo izgleda provođenje vremena na internetu. U nastavku sam pojasnila
koliko je internet prisutan među mladima i kolike su spolne razlike u govoru mržnje na njemu.
Govor mržnje je većinom rasprostranjen na društvenim mrežama kojima se adolescenti
masovno koriste. Stoga su naredna poglavlja bazirana na društvenim mrežama. Točnije, riječ
je o najčešće korištenim društvenim mrežama, o reagiranju mladih na govor mržnje na
društvenim mrežama te o načinima kako poboljšati zakon koji se bori protiv govora mržnje.
Kako bi se što bolje shvatile određene opasnosti društvenih mreža navela sam primjere
poznatijih društvenih mreža na kojima su mladi izloženi velikoj količini nasilja i govora mržnje.
Nadalje, adolescenti su u najosjetljivijoj fazi svoga života kada se još uvijek razvijaju na svim
područjima te govor mržnje na njih može ostaviti ozbiljne posljedice. Tako je sljedeće poglavlje
bazirano isključivo na posljedicama govora mržnje među mladima na internetu. Zaključno,
borba protiv govora mržnje je izuzetno bitna kao i educiranje mladih, roditelja, nastavnika,
profesora itd. kako prepoznati i reagirati na govor mržnje. U radu sam navela i neke organizacije
koje se bave borbom protiv govora mržnje na internetu te sam objasnila način na koji
funkcioniraju
