Cultural values are fundamental for understanding how humans act, from their individuality to their collectivity. In this paper, we present a methodological possibility for their recognition in ancient societies through the analysis of archaeological research results. According to this paper, it is possible because archaeological record is the result of social activities that have been performed repeatedly, within a moral, ethical, and regulatory frame. An exercise has been developed to have a first approach to cultural values from the Maya society in Palenque. Some results are shown as part of the conclusions. As we consider this as the first exercise with the use of this methodology, the author recognizes that further research is needed to enhance this approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The importance of the 'affective turn' in classical studies is well acknowledged, as it can be perceived through the many interdisciplinary works that have been published in the area during these last decades. Taking into account the challenges and difficulties involving the historical analysis of feelings, this paper intends to account for the contributions that have been made in the last years on the study of emotions in Antiquity. By specially focusing on classical Greece, we seek to offer a wide theoretical framework that could be useful for those willing to embark in this promising field of academic research.

The study of paralinguistics, i.e. the ways of communicating without the use of language, whether conscious, intentional and voluntary or otherwise, is an essential component of any attempt to reconstruct, understand and interpret the systems of cultural, societal, institutional, moral and inter-personal communication in modern and ancient societies. Three specific aspects of paralinguistics, as they are described in Attic oratory, are examined in this paper: face and facial organs (such as mouth and nose), hands, and gait. It is argued that the references to paralinguistics aim to win over the audience in the lawcourt or in political conventions by arousing emotions and by sustaining a war between the speaker's opponents and the Athenian community, whose cultural values and beliefs the opponents are presented as violating.

In this paper an analysis is made of one of the essays, "Of Cannibals", written by Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) in the Renaissance period. The document's purpose is to describe, through reflective analysis, the contributions that this author gives to the so-called cultural relativism from the historical context of the 16th century. Given the time, the essay is considered "avant-garde" given the approach and reflection made by the author approaching what later in anthropology would be known as cultural relativism at a time when European culture was considered better than the rest of cultures in the world. By comparing the practices that pe- Columbians do, related to cannibalism, with those that Europeans do, the author realizes that "we" should think if our practices are really better than those of "others" -the Amerindians -. However, to this day, Michel de Montaigne's ideas are still present in a world where Human Rights and cultural relativism are debated. Universalism vs. Relativism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many European governments, including Norway, have ambitious educational policies regarding digitalisation. Many businesses and policymakers pay great attention to the use of digital technologies in education in order to meet the future demands for a competent and qualified workforce. Among researchers and policymakers, there is a general consensus that the professional teacher is a key figure for the successful implementation of digital technologies in schools. Many expectations have been placed upon professional teachers regarding the implementation and use of digital technologies. The professional teacher is, to a certain degree, supposed to independently decide how digital technologies should be used in the classroom. This paper discusses what the concept of a 'professional digitally competent teacher' may mean in the context of schools. It also argues the need for a greater understanding of professional digital competence, one which takes into consideration various social and cultural aspects with regard to technology, schools and the teaching profession. In unpacking the social and cultural conditions for implementing technology in a professional teaching context, I will draw on concepts from the constructivist understanding of technology, namely, the 'domestication of technology'.

This paper argues that the study of traditional cuisines can contribute to the knowledge of the characteristics of social, economic and productive life of the social groups or the communities in which they are developed. It also helps to identify those changes that have occurred in people's style of life and their impact on feeding, particularly in the disappearance or adaptation of culinary knowledge and practices. On the other hand, the paper analyzes the effects of urbanization, globalization and the market's new conditions in the process of food transformation. Also, we emphasize that regional traditional cuisines constitute part of the intangible heritage of societies and communities, as factors of identity, and also represent a fundamental piece in regional and local economies. A study case in a rural community going through an urbanization process helps to illustrate these arguments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper analyses, from a methodological standpoint, one of the more difficult problems of contemporary philosophy: the construction of a concept of "cultural identity" in a global context. To arrive at a more robust notion of identity, it is necessary to develop the idea further. The paper comprises four sections: The first one introduces the context of the discussion. The second introduces an initial definition of identity, which is analysed further in the fourth section. The third section discusses the problem of globalisation by distinguishing different approaches that, struggling to impose their particular perspective, give great dynamism to the globalisation phenomenon. The goal of the final section is to resume the problem of identity and provide it with some degree of completeness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper offers a reflection about the nature of the social movements that arose for the conservation of the cultural patrimony that have been happened on the last decades in Mexico. These movements, also called patrimonialistic movements, are the result of the crisis of culture. This crisis is the result of the structural and political changes of the Mexican political process to became a democratic nation. The paper also addressed how this crisis of culture affects the use of the concept of nationalism as the more powerful ideological instrument in the construction of the Mexican Nation-State in which the Mexican cultural model joint education in conjunction with the multicultural elements of the Mexican culture, in the making and the transmission of the national identities and cultural values that are involved in the defense of the cultural patrimony.

How do orality and collective memory, manifestations passed on by their African forebears, continue to be part of the cultural identity of Bahía Honda? Both of these expressions are approached and addressed so as to integrate them with others, such as religious; thus revealing the living African cultural heritage that remains part of the current population. It is located in a region suffering the effects of an identity crisis, among other reasons, due to the destruction of its historical heritage, which is specifically why orality and memory have become indispensable resources in the struggle to overcome this eventuality, through the preservation of cultural values. The ethnographic methods, along with unstructured, in-depth interviews, were the fundamental methods used to obtain the information used as the basis for this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is an exploration of the concept of utopia proposed by the Colombian philosopher Dario Uribe Botero, in relation to the concept of dissent expressed by the French philosopher Jacques Rancière. The political thought of these two authors taking centre on the political transformations and ethical individual movement in the form of political actions via the transformation of different forms of domination present in today's societies. The intention then focuses on aesthetics as a dispute reformulation of the social, economic and political fields, which places the political in permanent contingency and grow, so there is never last political or essentially "real" project, to a manner of the large movements of the twentieth century, but in echoes the foucaulitiana's proposal the two authors maintain as a form of aesthetics of the political action existence.

This paper pretends to demonstrate the complementary relations between three relatively recent sociological theories, each one of which explains a different aspect of the same social object: the origin, diffusion and change of social and cultural values, aiming at demonstrating that there is not such a thing as a sociological theory that explains all, but rather diverse theories that offer partial explanations of social reality. To that effect, and on the basis of the necessary relationship between theory and research, three different theories are evaluated separately: Hawley's and Duncan's theory of the social ecosystem, Galtung's centre-periphery theory, and Inglehart's theory of values' change in modern-industrial societies, offering theoretical and empirical evidence of their complementary relations, based on Spanish and international data. Social ecosystem and centre-periphery theories show a high level of generalization (through space and time) and a high level of abstraction, though both can easily operationalize their main concepts through valid and reliable indicators. The theory of values' change, however, though showing a high level of generalization, is limited in time to the historical period after World War II, and also shows a high level of abstraction. Centre-periphery theory and values' change theory use individual and collective units of analysis, but social ecosystem theory only uses collective units, by definition. The three theories lead to the conclusion that 'security' values will gain a growing importance in present societies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deepens and expands the study of the factors determining resistance to change in employees. It includes new personality-related and structural contextual antecedents that, alongside variables related to the management of the change process and its consequences, allow the authors to contribute new evidence. The empirical analysis uses a sample of 143 employees from 7 organizations, and the results confirm the influence of cultural values, involvement in the change, perceived outcomes, and self-esteem on resistance behaviors. Theoretical conclusions associated with the potential of organization-based self-esteem to moderate the effect of cultural values on employees' resistance to change, and practical applications for organization managers, are offered.

This paper briefly describes the stages of the historical evolution of the town of Matahambre, the physical spatial characteristics that identify the town and distinguish it in the Cuban geography with forms that characterize the settlement which adapts to the rough topography and the vegetation during the process of urbanization. All this makes up a peculiar place, with a rustic architecture that has been coined as a wild landscape. Lastly, cultural values as well as historical memories and attributes which give matahambre the features of a cultural landscape are shown in this work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
