Secularizing Buddhism
A timely essay collection on the development and influence of secular expressions of Buddhism in the West and beyond. How do secular values impact Buddhism in the modern world? What versions of Buddhism are being transmitted to the West? Is it possible to know whether an interpretation of the Buddha’s words is correct? In this new essay collection, opposing ideas that often define Buddhist communities—secular versus religious, modern versus traditional, Western versus Eastern—are unpacked and critically examined. These reflections by contemporary scholars and practitioners reveal the dynamic process of reinterpreting and reimagining Buddhism in secular contexts, from the mindfulness mo...
Economic Well-being and Household Debt
The growing indebtedness of households reported over the last 30 years and in most developed countries has serious economic and social implications. This book provides insight into the concepts, measures, and determinants of household indebtedness, over-indebtedness, and well-being by integrating theoretical perspectives, adopting recent analytical methods, and using a sample of Polish households. The authors identified the socio-demographic and economic characteristics of indebted and over-indebted households, as well as the basic characteristics of indebtedness and the differences in its subjective perception among over-indebted households and those that are not over-indebted. They determi...
Sustaining Musical Instruments / Food and Instrumental Music
This 7th volume of SIMP is dedicated to two large themes that were discussed in the last Study Group Symposium held online and arranged by the Music Faculty of the University of the Visual and Performing Arts, Colombo, Sri Lanka, in March 2021: ``Re-invention and Sustainability of Musical Instruments'' and ``Instrumental Music and Food''. Thirteen contributions were compiled in this volume relating to the first theme, while seven contributions were chosen to represent the second. The first part of the contributions illustrates that musical instruments have a long and regionally intertwined history. Often it is hard to say who invented a specific type first as well as to answer if musical instruments were used symbolically or supported in any way supported regional cultural aspects, or what feature of musical instruments had the strongest impact on local developments. The last seven contributions deal with various phenomena such as banquet music, ritual music and food offerings, instrumental ambience music, and festivals.

Transizioni familiari
La famiglia, oggi come un tempo, si trova ad affrontare transizioni chiave lungo il suo ciclo di vita, ossia passaggi innescati da eventi critici prevedibili (ad esempio, l’inserimento scolastico dei figli) o imprevedibili (ad esempio, il divorzio tra i coniugi). Tali transizioni, con il loro potere destabilizzante, agitano il sistema familiare e ne mettono alla prova gli equilibri, facendo emergere con chiarezza la qualità (in termini di tenuta e di flessibilità) delle relazioni. Esse, infatti, non sono un semplice passaggio da una condizione all’altra, ma implicano l’affrontare e il soddisfare una serie di compiti di sviluppo (affettivi ed etici) che coinvolgono l’intera famiglia...
