Monstrous Words, Monstrous Bodies: Irony and the Walking Dead in Walter Map's De Nugis Curialium
This article analyses the function of the tales of the walking dead found in Distinction II of Walter Map's De Nugis Curialium (c.1182). Map's sole surviving work, the “Courtiers’ Trifles” is a collection of historical narratives, wonder stories, witty asides and anecdotes collated during his employment at Henry II's court. The satirical nature of the De Nugis has been noted by previous scholars; however, this has yet to be discussed specifically with regard to the tales of the undead. Following a discussion of the twelfth-century traditions of satirical literature and the ways in which medieval authors approached the trope of irony, the second part of the narrative will examine how Map, a master of the “art of lying”, deconstructed the conventions of wonder stories. It will be argued that as well as using these tales to satirise the historiographical function of mirabilia, they were also used to critique the reality of court life and, on a deeper level, the literary function of ambiguity itself. The inherent irony of the walking dead, the dissonance between physical form and metaphysical intent, meant that they could be inscribed with multiple, parallel meanings
CHRODIS criteria applied to the MASK (MACVIA-ARIA Sentinel NetworK) Good Practice in allergic rhinitis: a SUNFRAIL report
A Good Practice is a practice that works well, produces good
results, and is recommended as a model. MACVIA-ARIA Sentinel
Network (MASK), the new Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on
Asthma (ARIA) initiative, is an example of a Good Practice
focusing on the implementation of multi-sectoral care pathways
using emerging technologies with real life data in rhinitis and
asthma multi-morbidity. The European Union Joint Action on
Chronic Diseases and Promoting Healthy Ageing across the Life
Cycle (JA-CHRODIS) has developed a checklist of 28 items for the
evaluation of Good Practices. SUNFRAIL (Reference Sites Network
for Prevention and Care of Frailty and Chronic Conditions in
community dwelling persons of EU Countries), a European Union
project, assessed whether MASK is in line with the 28 items of
JA-CHRODIS. A short summary was proposed for each item and 18
experts, all members of ARIA and SUNFRAIL from 12 countries,
assessed the 28 items using a Survey Monkey-based questionnaire.
A visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 (strongly disagree) to 100
(strongly agree) was used. Agreement equal or over 75% was
observed for 14 items (50%). MASK is following the JA-CHRODIS
recommendations for the evaluation of Good Practices
