For thousands of years, Secwépemc laws (like other Indigenous laws) related to the Secwépemc lands, or “Secwépemcúlecw,” developed and were learned and practiced within a context where the personhood of Secwépemc individuals, as well as animals and the earth itself, was not in dispute. Nor was the existence, legitimacy or efficacy of Secwépemc laws. All of these crucial legal relationships still exist, and are ongoing. However, for the past 150 years or so, Secwépemc laws, and people, have lived in relation to something quite distinct — a set of laws that were jurispathic in nature —laws that would not recognize or tolerate any other law but themselves. The Secwépemc Nation’s resilience and perseverance in upholding and revitalizing Secwépemc laws in the face of this colonial disregard, attests to their strength and enduring value. In this article, the authors discuss the purpose, as well as some of the methods, outcomes and limits of the Secwépemc Lands and Resources Laws project produced in collaboration with the University of Victoria Indigenous Law Research Unit. They then examine present interactions between Secwépemc and state land and resources laws operating within Secwépemcúlecw, including the challenges and limited opportunities that exist within the way these legal and political relations are currently structured and implemented on the ground. Finally, they draw on the Secwépemc “Story of Porcupine” to suggest a constructive way forward towards a more mutually respectful Nation-to-Nation relationship between the Secwépemc people and the Canadian State.

Resilience, lifestyles, and time management in Colombian university students facing the COVID-19 pandemicAbstractThis review article aims to reflect on the way in which lifestyles and time management are strengthened by the resilience of young university students in Colombia in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The constant changes that young university students face determine the way in which they establish their priorities, whether personal, academic or social. Among these priorities is having a healthy life from a planning of activities that allow them to manage time and consolidate habits. It is there where resilience allows the young person, despite the difficulties that the environment poses, to overcome the challenges of the stage of the life cycle in which he/she finds him/herself. It is hoped that, within the university context, teachers will accompany young people in their personal growth process with a resilient perspective, in order to consolidate a life project based on healthy living habits.Keywords: Resilience.

In the sense that myth is a reordering of various random elements into an intelligible, useful pattern, a structuring of the past in terms of present priorities, nineteenth-century Englishmen were inveterate myth-makers. As liberal and scientific thought shook the foundations of belief, the Victorians erected gothic spires as monuments to a medieval order of supposedly simple, strong faith. While their industrial masses languished, they extolled the virtues of self-made men. Confronted with foreign competitors and rebellious colonials, they instinctively asserted the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race. In classic myth-making style, the Victorians set about “reorganizing traditional components in the face of new circumstances or, correlatively, in reorganizing new, imported components in the light of tradition.”Myth not only serves self-validating ends; it also provides a cohesive rationale, a fulcrum propelling people towards great achievements. If the Victorians were confident and self-congratulatory, they had cause to be: their material, intellectual, and political accomplishments were many. Not the least of their successes was in the sphere of sports and games, a subject often ignored by historians. Especially in the development of ball games—Association and Rugby football, cricket, lawn tennis, and golf—the Victorians modernized old games, created new ones, and exported them all to the four corners of the earth. Stereotyped as overly-serious folk, they in fact “taught the world to play.”Since sport, more than most forms of human activity, lends itself to myth-making, it is not surprising to find a myth emerging among the late-Victorians having to do with the origins of Rugby football. Like baseball's Doubleday myth, the tale of William Webb Ellis inspiring the distinctive game of rugby is a period piece, reflecting more of the era which gave it birth than of the event to which it referred.

Practical divinization describes the practice of connecting our spiritual and psychological development to conscious participation with the earth. This essay investigates the concept of Christian divinization in dialogue with Jung’s conception of individuation. Historically, the idea of divinization emerged from new concepts of personhood synthesized in the 1st century CE. Examining the ancient roots of personhood illuminates concepts of self and divinization within a contemporary theological and psychological context. Annis Pratt’s analysis of the archetype of “green-world epiphany,” evident in much of the literature written by women in the past three centuries, exemplifies the ethos inherent in practical divinization. A new interpretation of Matthew’s “Worry Not Gospel” imagines a female orientation of the text and further confirms the need for an embodied and fully participatory wisdom in relation to the earth. Practical divinization issues forth a call to action and a cause for hope in the face of ecological crisis.

In 2017–2020 The Center for Eastern European Studies of the University of Warsaw has published four voluminous volumes of the serial edition “Poles in Belarus” edited by the historian Tadeusz Gawin. The books reflect the results of a large-scale Polish-Belarusian scientific project, in the course of which Polish and Belarusian historians focused their attention on the problems of history that are urgent for both countries, first of all, of the twentieth century. In particular, separate volumes and scientific conferences preceding them were devoted to the Polish and Belarusian ideas of state independence in 1918–2018 and the military action of 1920 against the backdrop of political changes in the twentieth century. The uniqueness of the serial publication is that historians from Belarusian state universities and research institutes actively participated in it; this practice, in the context of a sharp deterioration in Polish-Belarusian political relations, has already become a thing of the past.

    Globalization is a new phenomenon that has received widespread attention in intellectual circles which erupted - and still does - a broad controversy  and varied opinions. It is not just a linguistic term easily explained or put it in the face of another term, It is this powerful movement that go deep in all directions which are not determined in a particular stage or period . so it resembles a machine that roams the earth treading on everything and caring for nothing,  it does not recognize the traditional boundary between the countries of the world, it's a machine with no steering wheel, its only direction is forward and so it is moves strongly ,growing every day and not understanding nothing except its appetite. Globalization is not a theory developed by a scientist or a philosopher, but it’s the experiences obtained in the years of the past two decades since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Berlin Wall until the present day. A phenomenon that touched all fields to the extent that one is puzzled how to study it and build a knowledge on the subject matter, especially that each author or speaker addresses its analysis from a particular aspect, such as the economic, cultural, political or informative. Globalization covered all aspects of human life, making it awaken minds and leading them to look for a way to upgrade and how to confront and defend cultural identities. The most dangerous aspect ​​globalization can reach is the field of education, because education is the corner stone for all other areas such as culture, politics, economy. Education helps us maintain our Arab identity, thus making it easier for us to face globalization, and so we find ourselves in a crossroads: Globalization of Education, which causes the demise of identity or Breeding of Globalization and taming it for the benefit of our societies, and this is what we are supposed to achieve which requires many mechanisms and challenges not to be underestimated. These mechanisms are what I want my research to address and explain in the hope that it could benefit us to contain the phenomenon of globalization and ensure the permanence of the cultural identity of the Arab and Islamic societies.

From the very beginning, museums and the audiovisual industry of television have nurtured the institutionalization process of video in the art domain.On the one hand, the influx of museums has been paramount when it comes to legitimating avant-garde discourses. However, they always showed misgivings in the face of certain practices supported on technology reproduction or “outlying” its coded space along the lines put forward by the video produced by artists.On the other hand, the domain of artistic creation, inasmuch as it belongs in the social sphere, has not been able to stay away of television’s influx and its powerful information, iconic and linguistic flow, just in the same way as contemporary creation has influenced the phenomenon of television.The paper “Coming to the terms with the frightful parent: video art and television” produced by John Wyver, historian and TV producer, as well as professor at the University of Westminster, provides the basis to study the way in which cultural criticism in the eighties exerted an influence in the development of the links between video art and television. This interaction in the form of some sort of domestic tension paved the way for the institutionalization of video production in the terms acknowledged nowadays.
