O fio de Ariadne: a religiosidade nas festas comemorativas escolares

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)

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.

Feasts of power : how food reveals Eve's influential role in John Milton's epic poem, "Paradise Lost"

This writing explores how food in Paradise Lost reflects Eve's power in the story of man's (and woman's) fall from grace. Critics often emphasize Adam in Paradise Lost; however, I challenge the notion of the first man as the most influential character of the poem. By examining Eve's role and her abilities with food, one sees the first woman as a well-rounded, complete being, albeit the first to succumb to temptation. Notwithstanding her transgression, -- certainly no trivial act of disobedience -- Eve should be viewed at least as Adam's equal, if not his superior. Her uncanny understanding of matters related to food points to skills Adam does not enjoy, and even Milton acknowledges Eve's importance in this arena. By studying the food in this epic, we see Eve sheds much light on all the other elements of Paradise Lost, and her personal strengths become obvious.

Missatges autoreferencials dels actors del ritual de l'Id-al-ad·ha

L'article analitza la celebració de l'Id-al-ad·ha o "festa del sacrifici", ritual protagonitzat per la comunitat de musulmans el desè dia del mes de dhu-al-hijja. Es parteix d'exemples etnogràfics procedents del context de la diàspora musulmana al Tarragonès i de la societat emiral mauritana. El fenomen s'analitza des dels rols que els actors exerceixen en el ritual. L'argumentació vol subratllar la idea que tot ritual s'inscriu en un context social específic del qual n'és producte alhora que modulador, per mitjà del que Roy Rappaport anomena "missatges autoreferencials". Això no exclou l'existència d'un conjunt de denominadors comuns o "missatges canònics" entre les diverses pràctiques rituals referides.

Impact of fisheries on activity, diet and predatory interactions between yellow-legged and Audouin's gulls breeding at the Chafarinas Is.

Interactions between yellow-legged Larus cachinnans and Audouin´s Larus audouinii gulls and fisheries operating around the Chafarinas Islands, located 4.5 km off the Moroccan Mediterranean coast, are reviewed. At the Chafarinas archipelago two distinct types of fisheries operate: trawlers and purse seines. Gulls take advantage of both fisheries. They scavenge trawler discards and congregate around shoals of fish attracted to the surface by the purse-seine lamps. When both trawlers and purse-seine boats are in operation, the diet of both gull species is similar, with epipelagic fish accounting for over 60% of the biomass, partially collected in association with the purse-seine fishery. When only trawlers operated yellow-legged gulls, but not Audouin´s gulls, augmented their diet mainly with human waste from refuse dumps, suggesting that competition for food between the two species is mainly limited to the periods when resources made available by fishery activities are abundant. Likewise, when only trawlers operated, there was an increase in the predation pressure on eggs and chicks of Audouin´s gulls. In particular, during the week of celebrations for the holy lamb festival when neither fishery operated, egg losses of Audouin´s gull increased dramatically, suggesting that severe food shortage caused by the cessation of fishing can result in an increased predation pressure by yellow-legged gulls, affecting Audouin´s gull productivity. These results suggest a novel socio-ecological link between gulls, fisheries and local feasts.

Banquet festif et banquet macabre : analyse narrative et structurelle d’Ap 19

À cause de son langage symbolique et de l’absence d’une trame narrative bien dessinée, l’Apocalypse de Jean constitue un gros défi pour l’exégèse, d’autant plus que ce livre réutilise un important matériel vétérotestamentaire mais sans jamais faire de citations explicites. La présente recherche se propose de traiter le chapitre 19 comme une unité littéraire significative à l’intérieur de ce livre complexe, même s’il ne montre ni un récit suivi ni une parfaite cohérence sur le plan narratif, présentant même des discordances avec d’autres parties du livre. Par contre, sur le plan théologique, un discours cohérent et significatif s’en dégage lorsqu’on joint à l’analyse narrative une analyse structurelle. La combinaison de ces deux méthodes synchroniques permet d’exposer des parallélismes frappants et de décrire une intrigue qui traite de l’accomplissement inéluctable de la justice divine, symbolisée par le contraste entre deux grands banquets, l’un festif et l’autre macabre. Enfin, cette recherche préserve le caractère évocateur des symboles et préconise une lecture ironique pour certains passages.
