There is a wide evidence base for the use of physical activity to improve health (Warbuton, Nicole & Bredin, 2006). This research is utilising the Internet to deliver a physical activity intervention using self-affirmation to increase message acceptance. The self-affirmation theory (Steele, 1988) states that reflection of a person’s positive traits may reduce defensiveness about a threatening message. Epton and Harris (2008), and Fielden (2012) have shown self-affirming to lead to reduced defensiveness about health messages and also behaviour change. This research is a progression and is aiming to show similar findings with physical activity. Participants completed a series of questionnaires to determine their physical activity levels before being randomly allocated to either an affirmation or control group. Participants completed a manipulation check before completi...

Evidence gathered over recent decades through building archaeology has proposed a re-dating of buildings and sculpture previously considered Visigothic to the 9th or 10th centuries, thereby enlarging the corpus of Mozarabic architecture. This paper begins to assess the implications of considering the corpus of illumination alongside this expanded corpus of architecture and sculpture. The manuscripts are associated with two main centres: Tábara in southern León and Valeránica in southern Castile; the church of San Pedro de la Nave is situated near Tábara, and the church of Santa María at Quintanilla de las Viñas near to Valeránica. Records of gifts, as well as stylistic and iconographic comparisons, suggest a network of monastic amicitia across which manuscripts and scribal expertise were ex...

No solo implicó un cambio de nombre y de fecha de la fiesta, sino también un cambio en el tenor y el significado de la misma que siempre debía encontrar el equilibrio entre la tragedia y la celebración. Las elaboradas lamentaciones alegóricas de la liturgia viejo hispánica fueron sustituidas, al principio, por lecturas y cantos más neutrales centrados en los infantes como santos mártires. Sin embargo, exposiciones más narrativas de la Masacre de los Inocentes pasaron a dominar en el siglo XII. Colecciones de sermones u homilías desempeñaron un papel importante en este proceso. Imágenes en pinturas murales –y, después de 1150, en escultura– comenzaron a manifestar plenamente el drama de esta fiesta.

Se tomará al monasterio de Las Huelgas como punto de partida ya que esta fundación fue creada a instancias de Alfonso VIII, un monarca que experimentó ambos extremos durante su reinado: si bien sufrió un doloroso revés en Alarcos (1195), acabaría finalmente recuperando su crédito como líder militar con la victoria de Las Navas de Tolosa (1212), que le granjearía una fama sin parangón en la época. Por su parte, la Orden de Calatrava había sufrido importantes pérdidas en la fallida campaña de Alarcos, y el recuerdo de los mártires caídos en batalla aquella jornada perseguiría durante años a Alfonso VIII. En este sentido, el cuasi privado claustro de Las Claustrillas en Las Huelgas –un espacio performativo–pudo haber servido como lugar para la penitencia y el olvido, mientras que la iglesia del monasterio b...

The series itself first and foremost deserves praise as it aims at making accessible research on late antique Iberian material in the English language, which over the past decade has attracted increasing attention by the broader medievalist community.
