How about feasts and festivities? Web calendar. '¿Qué fiestas y festividades? Calendario web'.

El proyecto realizado trata fundamentalmente de la recogida de información sobre las principales fiestas y fechas del calendario anglosajón, y posterior presentación en forma de página web para su utilización en todos los niveles educativos en que se imparte idioma. Se han podido conocer algunas fiestas y costumbres de la cultura anglosajona y se han entendido y enriquecido los conocimientos de la lengua extranjera. Se han conocido el vocabulario y las expresiones propias de cada una de esas fiestas. Se han consultado e interpretado distintas fuentes: enciclopedias, textos, revistas en lengua inglesa, internet, etc. Se han captado y contrastado las diferencias y/o semejanzas entre la cultura extranjera y su propia cultura en lo que se refiere a fiestas y costumbres relativizando las propias creencias culturales. Se han apreciado y valorado las costumbres distintas a las nuestras para descubrir la propia identidad y enriquecerla. Se han despertado el interés, curiosidad, respeto y tolerancia por otras culturas y otras maneras de entender la vida. Se han publicado el calendario en la intranet del centro y en la web del centro, para que pueda ser consultado por todo el personal del centro como medio para obtener o ampliar información sobre este tema. El grado de implicación de los alumnos en esta actividad, ha sido bastante elevado y se puede valorar positivamente.

Domesticating the calendar: the hours and the almanac in Tudor England

This article examines two genres of text which were extremely popular in the late-medieval and early modern periods, and it pays particular attention to women users. The printed almanacs of sixteenth-century England were enormously influential; yet their contents are so formulaic and repetitive as to appear almost empty of valuable information. Their most striking feature is their astrological guidance for the reader, and this has led to them being considered 'merely' the repository of popular superstition. Only in the last decade have themes of gender and medicine been given serious consideration in relation to almanacs; but this work has focused on the seventeenth century. This chapter centres on a detailed analysis of sixteenth-century English almanacs, and the various kinds of scientific and household guidance they offered to women readers. Both compilers and users needed to chart a safe course through the religious and scientific battles of the time; and the complexities involved are demonstrated by considering the almanacs in relation to competing sources of guidance. These latter are Books of Hours and 'scientific' works such as medical calendars compiled by Oxford scholars in the late middle ages. A key feature of this chapter is that it gives practical interpretations of this complex information, for the guidance of modern readers unfamiliar with astrology.
