Exploring or exporting? Qualitative methods in times of globalisation
2011
Europeanism, westernism and methodological imperialism all refer to the classic criticism of Western research in non-Western contexts. Though I welcome the debate, I find arguments based on simple binary oppositions and descriptions problematic. This debate is better positioned as one about the quality of qualitative research. With reference to the criticism I ask if contemporary qualitative research is stuck in old problems. Based on my ethnographic data from East Africa I show that the pitfalls of Western research that are pointed to in classic criticisms are the outcome of old models and poor analytic work. I also show that contemporary ‘Western’ qualitative research offers analytic alte…
A discursive analysis of oppositional interpretations of the agro-food system: A case study of Latvia
2015
Abstract This article critically reflects on the literature that addresses the complexity of food systems, which is often caught in application of simplistic binary oppositions of local vs. global, short vs. long, sustainable vs. intensive, etc. It then goes on to show, through a case study analysis of food-system discourses in Latvia how the binary oppositions surrounding with food systems, are actually mobilised in a specific national context. Agro-food systems are often explained through binary opposing knowledge systems that, depending on the theoretical affiliation of the author, might be called frames, narratives or discourses. These powerful instruments are used to explain, and often…
Sociolinguistics from the Periphery
2016
This leading team of scholars presents a fascinating book about change: shifting political, economic and cultural conditions; ephemeral, sometimes even seasonal, multilingualism; and altered imaginaries for minority and indigenous languages and their users. The authors refer to this network of interlinked changes as the new conditions surrounding small languages (Sámi, Corsican, Irish and Welsh) in peripheral sites. Starting from the conviction that peripheral sites can and should inform the sociolinguistics of globalisation, the book explores how new modes of reflexivity, more transactional frames for authenticity, commodification of peripheral resources, and boundary-transgression with hu…

Epistemic, interpersonal, and moral stances in the construction of us and them in Christian metal lyrics
2011
Abstract Religious groupings and subcultures both tend to have well-articulated interests, aims, and values that unite certain people but also alienate those who do not share their interests. The case is then made for the construction of difference between ‘us’ and ‘them’. This paper examines the construction of such a group boundary in the previously little studied context of the Christian metal (CM) music subculture. The focus of analysis is on the kinds of stances that are taken and attributed to ‘us’ and ‘them’ in the English lyrics of Finnish CM groups. The particular types of stance are related to questions of epistemology, interpersonality, and morality. The paper shows that the bord…
Il ruolo delle elezioni nei regimi non democratici iraniano e russo. Osservazioni a margine delle elezioni politiche iraniane del 2020
2020
La ricerca si propone l’obiettivo di verificare le caratteristiche dell’esperienza iraniana e russa all’interno della cornice dell’electoral authoritarianism, al fine di analizzare il ruolo delle elezioni e delle opposizioni, reali e apparenti, all’interno di questi due ordinamenti. Si metterà in evidenza come, seppure con strumenti diversi, si operi un controllo sulle opposizioni, piuttosto che escluderne del tutto l’esistenza, in modo da garantire un pluralismo di facciata. Within the framework of the electoral authoritarianism, the aim of the paper is to analyze the role of elections and opposition parties, systemic and non systemic, in Iran and Russia, exposing how both countries, albei…
Universidad española y oposición al franquismo: la regeneración universitaria (1956-1975)
2012
Durante el franquismo la universidad conoció un doble proceso: el sometimiento a la dictadura y la recuperación de la cultura democrática. Aunque el sometimiento ha merecido los principales esfuerzos historiográficos hasta ahora, en este trabajo interesa la recuperación de la cultura democrática. Se analiza la emergencia de esta emancipación y la influencia que tuvieron no sólo el movimiento estudiantil, más conocido, sino la labor de estudio, investigación y la irrupción de un nuevo profesorado numeroso que hicieron sus tesis doctorales y alteraron el panorama científico y cultural. The university in the Franco met a double process: the submission to the dictatorship and the emergence of a…
Oppositori a Messina nel Trecento. Il caso di Enrico Rosso
2021
Il saggio mette a fuoco il caso di Enrico Rosso, conte di Aidone, protagonista della vita politica messinese negli anni centrali del XIV secolo. Uomo dal temperamento inquieto, ambiguo e calcolatore, Rosso si ritrovò a oscillare tra latini e catalani, denominazioni che implicano, ha evidenziato la storiografia più recente, non appartenenze nazionali ma l’aggregarsi di schieramenti in competizione per il potere locale, tra fedeltà e ribellione al re. Sul suo agire pesò anche l'esclusione dal vicariato collettivo che vide l'affermazione, a partire del 1377, di quattro grandi famiglie che approfittarono della fragilità del potere regio per esercitare sull’isola la loro influenza. The paper wil…
Experimental study of Morris-Lecar neuron : design, coupling and interpretation
2015
We present in this manuscript an experimental electronic neuron based on complete Morris-Lecar model without simplifications, able to become an experimental unit tool to study collective association of robust coupled neurons. The circuit design is given in details according to the ionic currents of this model. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical prediction, leading to a good agreement between them, which therefore validates the circuit. We present the different areas according to the bifurcation control parameters, the membrane capacitance and the excitation current. We have highlighted the behavior of the neuron for each parameters zone. A coupling of such neurons is…
