AbstractThe central claim of this article is that the multi-dimensional changes in the modern family structure may be explained as a manifestation of the simultaneous processes of secularization and religionization. On the one hand, the rising acceptance of secular alternatives to the traditional family structure indicates that modernization processes weaken religious behavior and authority, as the classical secularization thesis has claimed. On the other hand, ongoing loyalty to the religious family patterns, and even their relative intensification, reflect the opposite trend. Serving as a case study, the changes in the Israeli religious family structure — reflected by civil marriage, cohabitation, and out-of-wedlock children — clearly illustrate how modernization generates horizontal and vertical fragmental processes in which religion and secularism supplement as well as compete with each other, creating an increasingly divided society in which religiosity and secularism flourish side by side among various groups and within distinct realms.

The cognitive linguist George Lakoff has argued that in the human brain two concepts of the family are mapped onto two contrasting political concepts, which reveal two kinds of systemic morality: a hierarchical, strict and disciplining father morality of conservatives on the one hand, and an egalitarian, nurturing parent morality of progressives or liberals on the other. Taking Lakoff’s thesis as point of departure, I offer a critical comparison of social-political uses of the concept of “home” in the early Roman Empire and Pauline Christianity. For this case study I engage primarily with the work of John Dominic Crossan, a prominent scholar of early Christianity within its Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts. Although “home” does not constitute the focus of his analysis, a close reading of his oeuvre does allow us to identify and highlight this as a crucial theme in his work. The focus will be on the patriarchal home under Greco-Roman imperial conditions as model of the imperial system, the Pauline egalitarian concept of the Christian home and house churches, and the deutero-Pauline return to the imperial model. By comparing these case studies from another epoch and another culture, thevalidity of Lakoff’s thesis will be tested and our understanding of the concepts “liberal” and “conservative” will be enriched.

Abstract The present paper deals with second language learning in an increasingly common type of situation: the one encountered by children of families that move to a different country for a limited period of time. These children enjoy a learning experience that provides them with a naturalistic setting for full immersion in the language community as well as formal instruction at school. The paper presents a case study that investigates the longitudinal development of English proficiency in two Catalan-Spanish bilingual siblings during a year’s stay abroad with their family. Specifically, the study measures gains in the two learners’ written productions in English by examining the development of the dimensions of fluency, syntactic complexity, lexical diversity and accuracy. The findings highlight the variability inherent in L2 development and the possible effects of proficiency level on the language gains. In addition, the on-site observation provides insights into the qualities of the stay abroad experience that also help explain the results.

Demetrius Poliorcetes was born in Macedonia, but grew up at Celaenae in central Phrygia with his parents, the great general Antigonus Monophthalmus (‘the One-Eyed’) and Stratonice, and his extended family. This chapter discusses aspects of Demetrius’ childhood and upbringing, the family structure, and the political context in which Demetrius was raised. Literary sources such as the ancient author Plutarch, who wrote a biography of Demetrius, describe him as being a tall and strikingly handsome individual. In this chapter, the iconographic and numismatic evidence is discussed, and these representations of the king confirm the impression conveyed to us through the ancient sources.

Chapters 20–23 are a case study of the family that changed its name over the generations from Brouart to Beroald to Verville. In 1626 the prolific author François Béroalde de Verville died in Tours. He was a medical practitioner and a former cathedral canon. His name and social status had varied throughout his life. One hundred years earlier, in 1526, his paternal grandfather had died some 150 miles away in Saint-Denis, to the north of Paris. Originally from Brussels, he had been a barber-surgeon. Significantly, he had a simpler name, Simon Brouart. Grandson and grandfather never met. Indeed, the one was not born until thirty years after the other died. Their social status differed greatly, and they inhabited vastly different worlds, separated by the advent of humanism, that of the Reformation, and much else. Of the various factors that transformed this family’s social status, the most decisive were learning and literature.

Portia dell'Anguillara Cesi and Margherita della Somaglia Peretti were both wealthy heiresses in late sixteenth-century Rome, and each was the patron of a fine altarpiece for the Capuchin church of San Bonaventura. Although women were widely recognized as patrons in the period, the patronage of these two paintings, which show the Virgin, saints, and the portrait of a young boy, has always been assigned to their husbands, Paolo Emilio Cesi and Michele Peretti, because the works have been related to the patrilinear, agnatic image of the early modern family, i.e., fathers and sons. Instead, the works express a bilinear, cognatic image of the family, indicating legal, economic, and affective ties between mothers and sons. Portia dell'Anguillara's will of 1587 further elucidates aspects of the bilinear family structure.

Abstract. This paper examines child parenting that occurs in working mothers in Paiton Probolinggo, East Java. On the one hand, the demands of fulfilling the family economy forced the mothers to work hard outside the home. On the other hand, they are required to care for and assist children in proper parenting intensely. Based on this fact, it is necessary to study how changes in parenting happened to work mothers and how fathers and mothers worked together in families to do co-parenting. These two problems are then examined from a gender mainstreaming perspective and then analyzed through fiqh so that the concept of gender relations in parenting can be found in accordance with the values of Islamic teachings. Through a case study approach, collecting, processing, and analyzing data with qualitative research principles, this study resulted in the finding of delegating parenting from parents to others resulting in low-quality supervision and assistance from caregivers to children and low levels of child satisfaction. This study also found no occurrence of parenting that involved fathers and mothers in the principle of partnership and ignorance. In the perspective of parenting fiqh, the parenting patterns that occur in Paiton Probolinggo are not in accordance with the values and laws of parenting fiqh. Abstrak. Tulisan ini mengkaji tentang pola asuh anak yang terjadi pada ibu pekerja di Paiton Probolinggo Jawa Timur. Di satu sisi tuntutan pemenuhan ekonomi keluarga memaksa para ibu untuk bekerja keras di luar rumah. Di sisi yang lain mereka dituntut untuk secara intens merawat dan mendampingi anak dalam pola asuh yang tepat. Berdasarkan fakta ini, perlu dikaji bagaimana perubahan pola asuh yang terjadi pada ibu pekerja serta bagaimana kerjasama ayah dan ibu dalam keluarga melakukan coparenting. Kedua permaslahan tersebut selanjutnya dikaji dari perspektif gender mainstreaming untuk kemudian dianalisis melalui fiqih sehingga dapat ditemukan konsep relasi gender dalam pengasuhan anak yang berkesesuain dengan nilai nilai ajaran Islam. Melalui pendekatan case study, mengumpulkan, mengolah, dan menganalisis data dengan prinsip-prinsip penelitian kualitatif, kajian ini menghasilkan temuan adanya pendelegasian pola asuh anak dari orang tua kepada orang lain yang berakibat rendahnya mutu pengawasan dan pemdampingan dari pengasuh terhadap anak serta rendahnya tingkat kepuasan anak. Kajian ini juga menemukan tidak terjadinya coparenting yang melibatkan ayah dan ibu dalam prinsip kemitraan dan kesalingan. Dalam perspektif fiqih parenting, pola pengasuhan anak yang terjadi di Paiton Probolinggo ini tidak sesuai dengan nilai dan prinsip fiqih parenting.

O diagnóstico do câncer é recebido tanto pelo paciente quanto pelos familiares de forma dolorosa e de difícil aceitação. A proposta de se trabalhar com o lúdico corrobora a importância de elaborar novas ideias de intervenção quando os pacientes são, em especial, crianças. É neste ponto que a imagem do super-herói, como aquele que supera as adversidades, entra em ação. Esta imagem heroica vem substituir o jaleco branco do médico para firmar ao paciente a convicção de que a doença pode ser vencida. Para coleta de dados, realizamos uma entrevista semiestruturada, de método descritivo com abordagem qualitativa num estudo de caso com a persona Batman do Brasil figurado por Cristiano Zanetta de Matos, atuante voluntário nas áreas oncológicas infantis dos hospitais da região sul catarinense. O escopo teórico se encontra na teoria do imaginário, desenvolvida por Gilbert Durand, partindo da premissa de que a presença mítica do herói transcende as lições do mito.Palavras-chave: Imaginário. Câncer. Super-Herói. Hospital.THE IMAGE OF THE SUPERHERO IN THE INTERVENTION WITH CHILDREN HOSPITALIZED WITH CANCER: A STUDY FROM IMAGINARY THEORYAbstract: The diagnosis of cancer is received by both the patient and the family in a painful and difficult way. The proposal of working with the playful one corroborates the importance of elaborating new ideas of intervention when the patients are, in particular, children. It is at this point that the image of the superhero, as the one who overcomes adversity, comes into play. This heroic image comes to replace the white coat of the doctor to assure the patient the conviction that the disease can be overcome. For this, a semi-structured interview was conducted, from a descriptive method with a qualitative approach in a case study with the person Batman do Brazil figured by Cristiano Zanetta de Matos, volunteer in the children's oncology areas of hospitals in southern Santa Catarina. The theoretical scope of the hero's support lies in the theory of the imaginary, developed by Gilbert Durand, starting from the premise that the mythical presence of the hero transcends the lessons of myth..Keywords: Imaginary.

Christian interest in the exalted place of Mary in the Holy Qur’an derives from its resonance with discourse on women issues on the one hand and the centrality of Mary in the great encounter between Islam and Christianity on the other. Discourse on women issues – especially its feminist current – deals with the religious notion of women’s liberation (Ahmad, 1992). It undertakes a re-reading of the central foundational texts (the Bible in its two testaments and the Holy Qur’an), especially those that valorize women and their human, social, and political roles. This feminist discourse criticizes evaluating women only by their relationship to men as wives, to children as mothers and to parents as daughters, that is, by their relationships to the family structure instead of by who they are in themselves.
