This thesis takes into examination the theme of heroism in Euripides’ theatre. In particular, this is analysed based on three aspects, linked to different, but interconnected, methodological approaches: narratology (in particular, the construction of plots and characters), rhetoric (in particular, the topoi of the beautiful/outrageous death and the imitation of the paternal model) and lexicon (in particular, the terms related to the concepts of ἀρετή, ἀνδρεία, κλέος and τιμή). The work consists of four chapters, preceded by a foreword and an introduction aimed, respectively, at making explicit the objectives of this research and at illustrating its methodological assumptions as regards the definition of ‘heroism’ and ‘hero’ in ancient Greek culture. The first chapter then examines the narratology, rhetoric, and lexicon of heroism in Greek literary production up to the 5th century BC (excluding Euripides), in order to highlight its peculiarities and different declinations in relation to the various social categories: men/women, young/old, noble/non-noble. From this chapter emerges an almost uncontested supremacy of noble young males in the ‘literary’ representation of heroism: in fact, even the rare examples of members of other social groups characterised by an exceptional heroic temper can be traced back to this paradigm. The following three chapters are, instead, dedicated to the analysis of each of the three aspects in Euripides’ production: the second chapter thus investigates the construction of plots and characters in Euripides’ theatre from the basic narrative patterns of myth and the literary tradition on each myth; the third chapter investigates the occurrences of the two selected topoi in his entire corpus; the fourth chapter investigates the occurrences of the selected terms in the entire corpus. The combination of the anthropological, narratological, rhetorical-stylistic, and linguistic approaches yields a comprehensive, multidimensional, yet coherent and unitary picture of heroism in Euripides. The theme runs through the tragedian’s whole production, inextricably linked to the evolution of the historical-political and socio-cultural context in which the poet operated. The ductility of the narratological patterns, the continuous rework of plot and character models, the creation of heroic paradigms distant from the epic-aristocratic idealism and adapted to the socio-ethical specificities of the characters involved, the variations, expansions and shifts in the application of the rhetorical topoi and in the use of the semantic nuances of the terms of the heroic lexicon highlight the close connection between the evolution of Euripides’ dramaturgy and the reality of his time. In particular, the analysis of his works does not reveal a constant and systematised idea of heroism in which one could safely recognise the poet’s thought; however, at every level of analysis it seems possible to detect a progressive accentuation of Euripides’ pessimism in his reflection on the subject.

This article studies the integration of Cherifian lineage groups into the social fabric of two oasis societies in western Sahara, Touat in southern Algeria and Oualata in Mauritania, during the 18th and 19th centuries. The aim is to consider the šarīf as a social actor distinct from “maraboutic” groups. We argue that Saharan šurafāʾ have a power that, although legitimized by the prestige of the genealogical link with the Prophet, can be articulated independently of the authority conferred by the status of scholar or “saint” (walī). Their power seems to rest primarily on their commitment as community leaders and, above all, on their ability to impose themselves in power relations between lineage groups, including through use of force of arms.
The need to think and to think well compels us to reflect on the subject and to propose some useful principles. The text includes the conference delivered in Catalan on March 14, 2024 at the Institute of Ilerdencs Studies.
In the recent past applications of photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scannings in the Franconian Jura and the Pontic Mountains provided new insights into subterranean ritual landscapes through three-dimensional recordings of rock-cut tunnels and natural shaft caves, their ecological features and artificial installations. As such attempts aiming for high-resolution digitalisation of sacr(aliz)ed places exemplify, digital archaeology offers exciting prospects for revealing the unilluminated: underground shrines cut into the bedrock, sequences of events for ritual practices of past communities and hitherto unseen cult facilities carved from the rock. In combination with zooarchaeological, osteological and textual analyses as well as radiocarbon dating 3D digitization enables an integrated socio-spatial approach for reconstructing detailed sequences, e.g., of the deposition of cultic assemblages and the remains of animal and human bodies. In this session we wish to discuss new ways to document, visualize and investigate invisible ritual landscapes and their built environments through digitalisation of underground structures and the location of finds. We invite contributions presenting case studies applying digital approaches at cavernous sites and current methodologies including cutting-edge technologies that are particularly suitable to explore • religious and settlement activites of cave-dwelling communities • prehistoric rock art and architecture as features of sacr(aliz)ed landscapes • rock-cut tombs and burial assemblages of grave goods deposited in rocky environments • ritual activites performed at cave sites (e.g. the ritual deposition of human/animal remains or votive offerings). By focusing on digital religioscapes as cultural landscape inventories we wish to promote new ways for a better understanding of subterranean sacr(aliz)ed places and raise the following questions: What kind of digital technology is both applicable and appropriate to create digital religioscapes under specific circumstances? How can digital approaches support us in rendering sensorial experiences and reconstructing religious practices of past communities? Which strategies for the visualization of ritual landscapes is offered through digital data? https://chnt.at/call-for-papers/

Dwelling as the Ontological Condition for Designing2021 •
In the essay Building Dwelling Thinking, Heidegger takes us from the ordinary and shallow interpretation of dwelling as inhabiting in a building to a more profound understanding of dwelling as sparing and preserving. Recognising dwelling as sparing and preserving emphasises the primacy of involvement and caring for the world we are existentially rooted in. The notions of dwelling and building provide a useful framework for understanding and critiquing design activity. The paper claims that dwelling is made possible through designing the world and at the same time dwelling is the ontological condition for designing. A Heideggerian understanding of dwelling requires deconstructing our taken for granted concepts and activities, such as, building, thing, place, etc. Heideggerian questioning shows us the way.

Know-How, Action, and LuckA good surgeon knows how to perform a surgery; a good architect knows how to design a house. We value their know-how. We ordinarily look for it. What makes it so valuable? A natural response is that know-how is valuable because it explains success. A surgeon’s know-how explains their success at performing a surgery. And an architect’s know-how explains their success at designing houses that stand up. We value know-how because of its special explanatory link to success. But in virtue of what is know-how explanatorily linked to success? This essay provides a novel argument for the thesis that know-how’s special link to success is to be explained at least in part in terms of its being, or involving, a doxastic attitude that is epistemically alike propositional knowledge. It is argued that the role played by know-how in explaining intentional success shows that the epistemic differences between know-how and knowledge, if any, are less than usually thought; and that "revisionary intellectualism", the view that know-how is true belief that might well fall short of knowledge, is not really a stable position. If its explanatory link to success is what makes know-how valuable, an upshot of my argument is that the value of know-how is due, to a considerable extent, to its being, or involving, a kind of propositional knowledge.
