Please direct all questions to [email protected] A NOTE Julia Clark Chair Estimats Diputats del Parlament de Catalunya, Dear Diputats of the Parliament of Catalonia, My name is Julia Clark and I’ll be serving as your Chair for the Parliament of Catalonia. I cannot wait to meet all of you in February. Time is of the essence and the Catalan Republic needs creating! As for a little bit about myself: MUN is my life! Last year, I served on the AmeriMUNC Secretariat as the Charges D’Affaires and currently I am an Assistant Head Delegate of the AU Model United Nations competitive travel team. I have done MUN for seven years, competing at 24 conferences across the US and Canada, and I once chaired a conference in the Netherlands! I’m proud to say that AmeriMUNC will be my eighth time chairing. Outside of MUN, I am also the President of my sorority, Phi Mu. If you have any questions about greek life or collegiate MUN, I’d love to chat via email or at the conference. I’m personally very excited to be forming our own new nation, the Catalan Republic. I just studied abroad for four months in Madrid, Spain and was at the center of the real life action surrounding the Catalan independence movement. -

The Diary of a Sceptic (Pdf)
TERESA GIMÉNEZ BARBAT THE DIARY OF A SCEPTIC The Diary of a Sceptic Teresa Giménez Barbat (Introduction by Albert Boadella) Translated by Sandra Killeen © Teresa Giménez Barbat, 2018 © Introduction by Albert Boadella, 2018 © Translated by Sandra Killeen, 2018 © Cover illustration by José María Beroy, 2018 Editorial coordination, page layout and front cover: Editorial Funambulista INTRODUCTION I’m going to try and write as comprehensibly and naturally as Te- resa does in the pages that follow this prologue. The first thing that springs to mind is that this is a book that takes numerous risks. Its diary format is a risk on the current writing scene. Such a realistic narrative form implies the likelihood of a minority reception right from the outset. The elimination of any fictional perspective is cur- rently a sort of literary suicide. Anyone who writes a book free of fantasies could be said to walk a fine line with their readers. The majority want to read simulations. The book also has a feminist air to it, which together with the ostentation of scepticism may initially cause readers to shy away from these pages. Obviously, I write this hypothesis from a masculine point of view and in it I’m attempting to express my first impression when the book I had in my hands was fresh out of the oven. Nonetheless, as I knew the writer person- ally I was inclined to take the theoretical risk. I have to admit here, that I opened the pages of this account out of curiosity about my friend, though this didn’t prevent a certain degree of scepticism on my part and a slight willingness to be distracted when faced with the first undigested page. -

Moral Concepts Surrounding Flags—An Analysis
2? Intemational Congress of Vexillologv FlagBerlin2007 Page 591 Alexandra Dan Mandru: Moral Concepts surrounding Flags - an Analysis Abstract: Starting with thefirst Latin vexilli, and ending with the modern, diagonal- lined ensigns, flags have always contained a heavy load of morality and philosophy, bearing symbols ofgreat importance for their using body. This is the reason why the burning offlags is considered today as an act of great defying, against the entity which uses the flag. This paper contains a research of how are the moral principles reflected in flags, the manner in which an idea can be vexillologically illustrated within a piece of cloth. 1. Introduction: Essential Values and Principles reflected in Flags The existence of a flag is a consequence of a certain degree of sovereignty, independence or autonomy. Thus, a certain degree of self- reliance of the using body (whether it is a country, a territory or a corporation) is asserted within the simple bearing of the flag. This paper presents a new approach, regarding the moral content existing in flags. The range of moral concepts which will be analysed encompasses values, principles and abstract ideas, which find a way of concretisation with their appearance in flags. The colours tell much about the meaning of a flag. They can mean patriotism, the blood shed for the fatherland or love for one’s territory (red), or the connection with nature, faith, even mineral wealth (green). Nationalism is an important element in flags. The flags which express a nationalist attitude are charged with traditional colours, national symbols, etc. they can’t be used otherwise than as a national symbol. -
