En torno al llamado «arte esquemático-abstracto»: a propósito de unas fechas de Covalanas (Ramales de la Victoria, Cantabria)

[ES] La introducción de técnicas físico-químicas al estudio del grafismo rupestre paleolítico está abriendo nuevos campos de conocimiento sobre los procedimientos técnicos, la cronología y la conservación de los motivos. La utilización de la técnica radiométrica de C14 A.M.S. ha sido aplicada en Covalanas. Las dataciones de época histórica de dos pequeños fragmentos de carbón procedentes de marcas negras sirven para reflexionar en torno al llamado «arte esquemático-abstracto».

Los "medici" en la epigrafía de la Hispania romana

[ES] La epigrafía latina nos permite conocer la existencia de veintiséis médicos en Hispania, los cuales llevaron a cabo su trabajo en diferentes ámbitos y especialidades. Gracias a la información de los textos de las inscripciones podemos estudiar cuestiones como el estatus socio-jurídico propio de los individuos dedicados a esta actividad, las posibles mejoras en el nivel económico de que pudieron ser objeto o los desplazamientos inherentes al ejercicio de la profesión. La mayor concentración de epígrafes en las antiguas Emerita Augusta y Gades nos hace pensar en estas ciudades como importantes centros médicos durante la época altoimperial en Hispania.

Arteen bidezko sormena ikuspegi interdiziplinarrean

EUSKERA: Lan honen helburua eskolan arteen bidezko sormena sustatzea izango da, ikuspegi interdiziplinar batean. Horretarako, ikasleen ezagutzaren bereganatzeaz gain horien espiritu kritikoa eta ekintzailea piztuko duen proiektu bat proposatuko da, haien sormena garatzea xede nagusitzat izango duena. Berebiziko garrantzia dauka hezkuntzan haien kabuz pentsatzeko pertsonak eratzeak, eta edukien gainetik nortasuna garatzera zuzendutako metodologiak diseinatzeak. Izan ere, horrela bakarrik lortuko dugu gizarte honek zein etorkizunekoek aurkezten dizkiguten eguneroko erronkei aurre egitea.

Hezkuntza eta kalitatea

[EUS] Ikerketa honen bidez, Euskal Herrian hezkuntza kalitatea bermatzeko dagoen sarearen, hau da, “Kalitatea Hezkuntzan” sarearen ebaluazioa egin nahi izan da. Horretarako, adituek berrikuntza eta hezkuntza kalitatea gaiei buruz adierazten dutenaren inguruan bilaketa bat egin izan da eta ondoren, sei ikastetxe ezberdinetako irakasle batzuei inkesta bat bidali izan zaie. Lortutako emaitzak oso ezberdinak izan dira, izan ere, irakasleen artean ez-adostasunak aztertu izan dira. Bestalde, ondorioetan, adituek azaltzen dutenaren eta irakasleek uste dutenaren artean, alde handia dagoela ondorioztatu izan da, lehenengoek hezkuntza kalitatea nola definitzen duten eta irakasleek nola antzematen duten oso ezberdina izan delako.

Irakaslearen esku hartzea psikomotrizitate saioan

[eus] Bernard Aucouturier pedagogoak sortutako praktika psikomotorrak, bide motrizetik abiatuta, haurraren heltze psikologikoa helburu duen metodoa da. Haurra bere garapenean ulertu eta lagundu ahal izateko psikomotrizitatearen beharraz kontziente izanik eta Aucouturier metodologia abiapuntutzat hartuta, lan honetan, hezitzaile bakoitzari bere praktika hobetzeko eta horren inguruan hausnartzeko erreferentzia markoa eskainiko zaio. Horretarako, bi urteko gela bateko irakaslearen esku hartzearen analisiaren bidez, jardunaren egokitasuna ebaluatzearekin batera, esku hartzea hobetzeko proposamena eskainiko da. Izan ere, hezitzailearen oinarrizko funtzioa praktika psikomotorrean modu ez zuzentzailean esku hartzeko egoerak sortzea da, horretarako formakuntza pertsonal eta profesional sendo eta zorrotza ezinbestekoa izanik.

Etymological notes on Aleut (III). With methodological notes on (Eskimo-Aleut) historical linguistics

[EN] The goal of this contribution is twofold: on the one hand, to review two relatively recent contributions in the field of Eskimo-Aleut historical linguistics in which it is proposed that Eskimo-Aleut languages are related genealogically to Wakashan (Holst 2004) and?/or Nostratic (Krougly-Enke 2008). These contributions can be characterized by saying that their authors have taken little care to be diligent and responsible in the application of the comparative method, and that their familiarity with the languages involved is insufficient. Eskimo-Aleut languages belong to a very exclusive group of language families that have been (and still are) used, sometimes compulsively, in the business of so-called “long-range comparisons”. Those carrying out such studies are very often unaware of the most basic facts regarding the philological and linguistic traditions of those languages, as a result of what mountains of very low quality works with almost no-relevancy for the specialist grow every year to the desperation of the scientific community, whose attitude toward them ranges from the most profound indifference to the toughest (and most explicit) critical tone. Since Basque also belongs to this group of “compare-with-everything-you-come- across” languages, it is my intention to provide the Basque readership with a sort of “pedagogical case” to show that little known languages, far from underrepresented in the field, already have a very long tradition in historical and comparative linguistics, i.e. nobody can approach them without previous acquaintance with the materials. Studies dealing with the methodological inappropriateness of the Moscow School’s Nostratic hypothesis or the incorrectness of many of the proposed new taxonomic Amerindian subfamilies (several of them involving the aforementioned Wakashan languages), that is to say, the frameworks on which Krougly-Enke and Holst work, respectively, are plenty (i.a. Campbell 1997: 260-329, Campbell & Poser 2008: 234-96), therefore there is no reason to insist once more on the very same point. This is the reason why I will not discuss per se Eskimo-Aleut–Wakashan or Eskimo-Aleut–Nostratic. On the contrary, I will focus attention upon very concrete aspects of Krougly-Enke and Holst´s proposals, i.e. when they work on “less ambitious” problems, for example, dealing with the minutiae of internal facts or analyzing certain words from the sole perspective of Eskimo-Aleut materials (in other words, those cases in which even they do not invoke the ad hoc help of Nostratic stuff). I will try to explain why some of their proposals are wrong, demonstrate where the problem lies, and fix it if possible. In doing so, I will propose new etymologies in an attempt at showing how we may proceed. The main difference between this and handbook examples lies in the reality of what we are doing: this is a pure etymological exercise from beginning to end. I will try to throw a bit of light on a couple of problematic questions regarding Aleut historical phonology, demonstrating how much work should be done at the lowest level of the Eskimo-Aleut pyramid; it is technically impossible to reach the peak of the pyramid without having completed the base. As far as Aleut is regarded, I will mainly profit not only from the use of the traditional philological analysis of Aleut (and, eventually, of Eskimo) materials, but also of diachronic typology, bringing into discussion what in my opinion seems useful, and in some cases I think decisive, parallels. It is worth noting that this paper makes up yet another part of a series of exploratory works dealing with etymological aspects of the reconstruction of Proto-Eskimo-Aleut, with special emphasis on Aleut (vid. i.a. Alonso de la Fuente 2006/2007, 2008a, 2008b, 2010a), whose main goal is to become the solid basis for an etymological dictionary of the Aleut language, currently in progress.
