Incivility in online news and Twitter: effects on attitudes toward scientific topics when reading in a second language

2021

Due to the participatory nature of Web 2.0, polite communication on social media and news sites can stand side by side with uncivil comments. Research on online incivility has been conducted with users reading in their mother tongues (L1), while the potential effects of incivility in a second language (L2) have been largely under- explored. This paper analyzes the effects of uncivil comments written in an L2 on attitudes around emerging technologies. Accordingly, study 1 replicates and extends a previous experiment on the effects of incivility to online news on risk perceptions of nanotechnology (Anderson et al., 2014), by adding an ‘L2 condition’ (uncivil comments written in an L2). Then, …

Linking News Value Theory With Online Deliberation: How News Factors and Illustration Factors in News Articles Affect the Deliberative Quality of Use…

2018

Previous research suggests that distinct characteristics of news articles, such as their news factors, account for the different participation rates in comment sections as well as the degree of interactivity among the discussants. In this study, this assumption is tested in the Facebook environment and extended to the analysis of how news factors (i.e., event characteristics) and illustration factors (i.e., characteristics resulting from a specific journalistic editing) of news articles predict the inclusiveness of discussions, as well as the occurrence of civility, rationality, and deliberative interactivity in user comments. A content analysis of 619 news articles and 11,218 related user…

Racionalismo y emotivismo en perspectiva neuroética

2017

El desarrollo de la neuroética ha tendido a privilegiar el papel de la emoción en detrimento del razonamiento en la deliberación moral. En esta comunicación deseo contraponer dos modelos de deliberación moral que se han articulado desde la neuroética: uno de corte emotivista, desarrollado por Haidt y Lakoff y otro, pretendidamente racionalista, elaborado recientemente por Hugo Mercier. Mi objetivo es determinar si Mercier lleva realmente a cabo una rehabilitación del razonamiento en la neuroética o si, por el contrario, su planteamiento es deudor del de los enfoques emotivistas. PALABRAS CLAVE: neuroética, Lakoff, Haidt, Mercier, deliberación.

En respuesta al comentario de Carlos Pereda sobre Un lugar para la moral

2004

Carlos Pereda califica mi concepción de la moral de realismo particularista y objeta a mi defensa tanto del realismo como del particularismo. En mi respuesta trato de mostrar cómo nuestras discrepancias en torno al papel de los principios en la deliberación moral es, excepto en un punto crucial, cuestión de énfasis. No ocurre lo mismo, sin embargo, con mi reivindicación del realismo moral, pues parte de lo que intento mostrar en el libro es que los programas constructivistas de los que habla Pereda no pueden pensarse coherentemente. 

Marcos mentales: ¿marcos morales? Deliberación pública y democracia en la neuropolítica

2018

En este trabajo trato de abordar el concepto de «marco mental» como clave para entender la concepción que la neuropolítica tiene de la deliberación pública y la democracia. En un primer lugar expondré los puntos centrales de las teorías de Jonathan Haidt y George Lakoff sobre el marco mental y la deliberación pública. Después pondré en relación la idea del marco mental con el concepto de «marco referencial» de Taylor. Finalmente, analizaré críticamente el modelo de deliberación pública y de democracia que cabe extraer del concepto de marco mental en la neuropolítica.

Quality assurance of decision-making in conversations between professionals and non-professionals: identifying the presence of deliberative principles

2012

The ideal of dialogue is at stake in professional conversations. The aim of this study is to develop an instrument that makes it possible to compare principles of deliberation with what actually takes place in professional conversations. The developed instrument is tested on one patient's conversation with his doctor about lifestyle changes, and meetings where pupils with learning disabilities and their parents discuss further schooling with school representatives. Although in need of refinement, the conclusion is that the instrument provides meaningful insight into how much each participant 'contributes' to the decision-making process and 'behaves' during the conversation.

Introduction: A Topographical Approach to Deliberative Democracy

2018

Started as an attempt to move beyond the models of democracy which dominated public and academic discourses during les trente glorieuses (i.e. procedural, aggregative and participatory models of democracy), the deliberative turn seems to have be the opening of several other inner turnings which have help build up a complex theoretical spaghetti junction. Following the main deliberative turn we can also count an 'epistemic turn' (Jörke 2010), and 'empirical turn' (Thompson 2008), a 'systemic turn' (Mansbridge et. al. 2012) and even a 'democratic turn' (Barker et. al. 2012). The end result of these twists and turns is a plurality of models of deliberative democracy (DD) embodying many of the …

Conoscere per deliberare. Tucidide II 40,2

2022

Nel passo tucidideo esaminato si difende la lezione οἱ αὐτοί attraverso il raffronto con testi greci finora non considerati nel dibattito critico, e soprattutto alla luce della visione non elitista della democrazia quale emerge nell’Epitafio di Pericle. In the passage examined οἱ αὐτοί is defended by comparing it with Greek texts so far not considered in the critical debate, and especially in light of the non-elitist idea of democracy as it emerges in Pericles' Epitaphius.
