Tiempos felices: Transformaciones en las tecnologías psicológicas de gobierno de la subjetividad
2020
This paper traces some inflections in the psy disciplines? discourses and technologies for the government of subjectivity during the last decades. It is focused on exploring different mechanisms through which psychological disciplines ?their discourses, techniques and practices? penetrate social life and contribute to establishing subject models consistent with transformations in the political and economic rationalities of late capitalism. Drawing on previous research in the field of gender politics and happiness discourses in the pop psychological culture, I track a line with three moments: i) the production of psychological individuality and identity normalization; ii) the proliferation o…
Patente de corso y La zona fantasma: La identidad del locutor
2014
This study deals with the main features of locutors in La zona fantasma (Marías) and Patente de corso (Pérez Reverte). After a brief introduction on argumentative discourse and the opinion columns, the identity of the locutor/enunciator is analysed in detail. More precisely, the article will demonstrate how mode, polyphony and heterogeneity of discursive sequences support the persuasive objective pursued by this kind of discourse. En este trabajo proponemos una reflexión sobre las características del locutor de La zona fantasma (Marías) y Patente de corso (Pérez Reverte). Después de una breve introducción sobre el discurso argumentativo y las columnas de autor, se analizará la identidad de …
Developing narrative identities in youth pre-elite sport : bridging the present and the future
2019
Narrative research has contributed to understandings of athletic identity as an evolving story of the self that is creatively put together by the agentic individual but necessarily dependent on broader narratives within which we all live our lives. However, most studies in sport have focused on retrospective ‘big stories’ of athletes’ lives, rather than on-going, future-oriented identity construction through storytelling. In this study, we explored Finnish pre-elite athletes’ emerging stories of the self to understand the processes associated with the narrative selection and the resources they tap into in making sport meaningful to them. Nine women and eight men aged 17–18 were invited to c…
Restoring Harmony in the Lifeworld? : Identity, Learning, and Leaving Preelite Sport
2020
Sport provides many youth participants with a central life project, and yet very few eventually fulfill their athletic dreams, which may lead them to disengage from sport entirely. Many studies have explored the processes of athletic retirement, but little is known about how youth athletes actually reconstruct their relationship with sport and embodiment postretirement. The authors explored these issues in the story of “Pilvi,” a Finnish alpine skier who disengaged from sport in her late adolescence. Employing an existential-phenomenological approach, they conducted six low-structured interviews with Pilvi, combined with visual methods, and identified key themes relating to the body, space,…
The Quantified Athlete: Associations of Wearables for High School Athletes
2018
The adoption of wearable technology in competitive sports can be an advantage to performance and training. Athletes who use personalised data to quantify their performances with the possibilities of sharing with others may use wearables to reinforce the athletic identity. Despite these changes, few studies have actually examined the associations between wearables and developing athletes in their quest for professional sports. Student athletes (n = 437, age = 17y) still in high schools completed a web-based survey about their professional aspirations, athletic identity, and the association with wearables. Wearables were measured by ownership and usage of apps, fitness trackers, or sports wat…
“She is where I’d want to be in my career” : Youth athletes’ role models and their implications for career and identity construction
2019
Abstract Objectives While role models have been documented to play a vital role in adolescents’ career development and identity exploration, in sport psychology they remain an untapped resource. The present study drew on narrative inquiry to explore the patterns of role model selection by adolescent student-athletes and the narrative maps these role models provide for self-construction. As a second objective, the study sought to understand the impact of gender on the selection and meaning of role models. Method Eighteen Finnish student-athletes (10 women, eight men) aged 17-18 participated in conversational interviews. We analysed the data with thematic and structural narrative analyses. Re…

COLLEGAMENTI PER UN’IDENTITÀ CULTURALE COMUNE NEL BACINO DEL MEDITERRANEO
2021
Il Mar Mediterraneo può essere considerato il legame comune tra tutti i Paesi che lo circondano. Diversi popoli, culture, arti, mestieri, religioni e tradizioni lo hanno attraversato, forgiando una identità culturale condivisa e differenze che possono essere facilmente rintracciate in molte città e territori. La città mediterranea suggerisce unioni e dissonanze, suggellando il patto di alleanza che ha visto convivere pacificamente una società multietnica e multiculturale, creata anche a seguito di dominazioni imposte. Molte città affacciate sul Mar Mediterraneo, come quelle di Barcellona, Palermo e Skikda, obbligano ancora oggi a una riflessione su quanto appaia evidente la relazione tra i …

Familias interculturales: aspectos psicosociales de un fenomeno en construccion - Bicultural couples: from family to community
2012
The research examines the dynamics of bicultural couples in which one partner is autochthonous and the other is of foreign nationality. Two levels of analysis were considered: a macro level studying the identity of place in reference to the general social context and the residential neighbourhood, in particular; the second level refers to the dynamics of the couple and examines the strategies for managing differences between partners and the educational styles adopted in the presence of children. According to the basic assumptions of qualitative research, 42 mixed couples living in Sicily were interviewed. To analyse the contents which emerged from interviews the Atlas.ti software was used.…
