Student teams’ development over time: tracing the relationship between the quality of communication and teams’ performance
2016
Current discussions in higher education and alumni training acknowledge the challenges training programs face in responding to the authentic needs of the labor market. In addition to academic knowledge, higher education institutions are expected to provide general twenty-first-century skills, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and interpersonal skills. To meet these challenges, many institutions utilize collaborative pedagogies such as learning in teams. However, teamwork in higher education tends to focus primarily on the task aspects of performance at the expense of the team aspects, and for educators, there may be no feasible way to assess whether the students are…
Does It Really Matter? Assessing the Performance Effects of Changes in Leadership and Management Structures in Nordic Higher Education
2019
AbstractUniversities are public organisations, which operate in a highly institutionalised environment. They are heavily dependent on public resources. As such, universities are susceptible to shifts in governance arrangements but are also far from being passive recipients of reform agendas. They face demands from multiple internal constituencies (academics, administrators, students, managers) and from a variety of external stakeholders. This chapter explores the interplay between governance arrangements resulting from policy shifts and university dynamics. It sets the stage for the book, asking the following research questions: (1) what characterises changes in governance regimes in Nordic…
Souffrir en musique
1994
Suffering to Music - Although, in its relation to suffering, music is generally reputed for possessing therapeutic virtues, several iconographie and written sources dating from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries attribute a harmful influence to music. This ambivalence was based on the correlation between the intensity of suffering and that of the sonorous quality of musical instruments, which in the Middle Ages were divided into two great families in accordance to the sound volume they produced. Consequently it was according to their high and strident or low and soft sonorities that the instruments were thought to act on suffering, either amplifying it or alleviating it.
Entangled into Histories or the Narrative Grounds of Multiple Realities
2013
What is the relation between the imaginary and the real constituting our paramount reality? The article approaches the cleavage between fiction and facts by interrogating the genesis of meaning as this genesis is brought about by fictitious works of memory and commemoration. Narrative structures prove to be the intersubjective ground for comprehensive action insofar narration mediates between past and future, and thus gives way to appresent the non-present in collective actions. Further on, narratively we are bound to life world and are indebted to it with an ethical strain of our Self as we gain our identity exactly by narration.
A viagem, ou as ilusões da comunicação
2017
Na França, e para além dela, viajar se tornou atualmente objeto de tamanho interesse que a viagem já não se trata mais de um fenômeno da moda, mas constitui um dos elementos fundamentais do comportamento contemporâneo. As razões levantadas pelos incontáveis nômades ocasionais pertencem ao registro da comunicação: ir ao encontro do Outro, dizem eles, responde a uma grande preocupação com a cultura e a humanização. Esta visão reconfortante pode e deve nos satisfazer? Em uma célebre diatribe, o antropólogo Claude Levi-Strauss criticou esta grande obsessão com a transumância. O filósofo Jean Brun, por sua vez, desenvolveu uma interpretação particularmente redutora sobre os vagabundos do Ocident…

Alphabet as a pretext. Representation and architecture starting from J.D. Steingruber
2020
Johann David Steingruber (1702-87) realizzò nel 1773 l’ “Alfabeto Architettonico” (titolo originale “Architektonisches Alphabeth bestehend aus 30 Rissen”),ovvero un compendio di edifici immaginari le cui piante presentano la forma delle lettere dell’alfabeto. A partire dall’analisi delle tavole, obiettivo del contributo è presentare una riflessione su questi disegni, sia in relazione alle intrinseche caratteristiche storiche ed estetiche, sia in relazione alla personalità dello Steingruber.

Representaciones y prácticas docentes en torno a la dictadura de Franco
2021
En este artículo llevamos a cabo un estudio de caso centrado en 5 docentes españoles en relación con el tratamiento educativo que llevan a cabo de la dictadura franquista. Se parte de una contextualización general acerca del periodo histórico de la dictadura de Franco (1936-39 y 1975-78), tema social y políticamente candente que tiene su correlato a nivel educativo al estar presente en el currículo de la educación secundaria y bachillerato. Esta investigación pone el foco en el profesorado, que traduce en el contexto del aula una serie de ideas y representaciones sobre la dictadura, algo que está condicionado por su nivel formativo, el contexto sociopolítico actual y la concreción curricula…
<em>Niger fluvius</em>: aguas oscuras y dioses infernales. El caso de Endovélico

El agua posee un importante valor simbólico en numerosos complejos religiosos, pero cuando cuenta, además, con una coloración oscura, constituye un nexo privilegiado con el ámbito subterráneo. El presente artículo incide en la relación entre santuarios dedicados a divinidades infernales y los «ríos negros», al tiempo que analiza el caso concreto de Endovellicus y su centro de culto de San Miguel de Mota (Portugal).
<i>The Machine in the Garden</i> in the 21st Century
2017
In this essay I will suggest Leo Marx’s debt to a style of thinking about technology which cuts against the grain of the liberal humanism and liberal progressive ideology that informs his writing. This style of thinking, associated with the word technicity, underscores the intimacy of our relation to technology. The Machine in the Garden insists that technology is a crucial aspect of our human nature—it encourages us to see that nature is inseparable from our technological condition. In this sense, the machine and the garden are confounded in Marx’s book. The book’s key themes and conflicts short-circuit the mission to promote the liberal individualist illusion of escape from the shaping fo…
