Immigrant representations in two newspaper articles from the Daily Telegraph
2009
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää millaisia representaatioita ja identiteettikategorioita maahanmuuttajille rakennettiin brittiläisen The Daily Telegraph sanomalehden Internet-sivuilla. Aihe oli sovelias tutkimuksen alaiseksi, koska maahanmuuttajan representaatiosta sanomalehdistössä oli vähän tutkimusta. Ilmiötä oli jonkin verran tutkittu suomenkielisissä sanomalehdissä. Tutkimus oli vertaileva ja metodityökaluna käytettiin kriittistä diskurssianalyysia. Tutkimusaineisto koostui kahdesta artikkelista jotka oli julkaistu joulukuussa 2008. Tutkimuksessa vertailtiin Seija Lambergin pro gradussa listattuja kuutta identiteettikategoriaa tässä tutkimuksessa käytetystä aineistosta es…
Wellness Centres on Costa Crociere Cruises: Body, Space, and Representation from an Anthropological and Linguistic perspective
2016
Many tourist services are connected to the care of the body. The tourist industry proposes different vacation opportunities where the body is the main focus of the experience. This kind of tourism implies specific services that show a particular universe of representation and particular languages. In this context, cruise tourism is an interesting case to analyze because a part of its services gives a central role to the body which, on-board, organizes and is organized within dedicated spaces and times. Cruise ships provide spaces for the wellness of the passengers such as swimming pools, gyms, spas or beauty centres. The analysis proposed in this work is based, on one hand, on a recent anth…
Producción de personas, reproducción de representaciones. Reflexiones sobre dos programas de capacitación en liderazgo
2020
The present paper addresses the question of the role Executive Education performs in the strengthening and reproduction of neoliberal ideology. It aims to critically reflect on the way selected contents and teaching activities operate jointly enabling or inhibiting certain perspectives regarding work in organizations. Two Leadership training programs are analyzed in this article, currently delivered by the two most prestigious business schools in Argentina: IAE Business School, and Torcuato Di Tella Business School. I begin with a general description of each one and proceed analyzing their educational proposals. Finally, the critical review reveals their consistency with a set of social rep…

Between improvisation and inevitability: former Latvian officials’ memoirs of the Soviet era
2016
ABSTRACTThis article deals with the autobiographies of former Soviet officials that have been published in Latvia since the 1990s. In particular, it focuses on three interrelated layers of biographical narrative: construction of social identity, strategies for avoiding the stigmatization of collaboration, and comparisons between the Soviet and post-Soviet experience. The article contends that former officials in their memoirs use a pragmatic representation of the Soviet past as the major locus of their positive identity. Through this genuine representation of the past, autobiographers emphasize virtues that might be accepted by a post-Soviet neoliberal society.
Las marcas en el cuerpo de la víctima: la veracidad encarnada en la violencia de género
2015
Resumen: La certeza y la veracidad son dos requisitos imprescindibles para poder dar fe de su condicion de victima, el testimonio incierto despierta dudas y cuestiona la propia condicion de victima, de la misma manera que cuando la victima se sale de los atributos que consideran la definen. Abordaremos este analisis de la violencia machista recurriendo a las campanas institucionales (entre 1998-2013 a nivel estatal), en las que se recurre a un corpus limitado y muy definido de marcas que estandarizan sobre el cardenal que deja el golpe domestico. En la representacion estetica de la victima el cuerpo ocupa un lugar privilegiado, mas alla del testimonio de la palabra. La sangre y las marcas, …
La valoración del Practicum en la formación inicial: un estudio de casos internacional en el área de Geografía e Historia
2020
El acceso a la función docente es asunto regulado por las instituciones administrativas, pero depende en gran medida de las competencias, actitudes y expectativas personales. Los estudios comparativos que mostramos revelan que las representaciones sociales que determinan un sentido práctico del saber escolar inciden en las opiniones de los actuales profesores de Secundaria y en los que aspiran a serlo. Este fenómeno subjetivo, que incide en las competencias profesionales, se interpreta cualitativamente con una metodología de casos, con la comparación de estos a partir de las encuestas y memorias del Practicum en tres universidades de Brasil, Colombia y España. El análisis sobre objetivos y …
Mafia Women: A Study on Language and Mental Representations of Women Engaged with Mafia Members
2014
For a long time, women in the Mafia were considered victims who were unaware of the activities of the men in their families. However, it has recently been demonstrated that these women may play an important role in the organisation, particularly in the transmission of Mafia values. In this study, we explored the representations of self, relationships, and the Mafia world in women engaged with Mafia members. This was done by means of in-depth interviews and computer-assisted text analysis. A cluster analysis was applied to words used by the women in the interviews. Three clusters emerged that accounted for 85% of the principal contents of the interviews. These were interpreted as “represen…
Méconnaissance du politique, sciences sociales et représentations sociales : le cas des violences scolaires
2007
A scientific reflexion on the question of school violences, recurring in the media field, cannot forget, according to us, an analysis of its journalistic treatment and its potential effects on the social representations. The refusal of the policy in/by the school institution and its corollary the depoliticization of school violences reinforce the ignorance of the actors. Social sciences, as peripheral sciences, miss often debates, even aren't legitimate. We have to confront «the media invention» of school violence with social sciences knwoledge.
Autoficción, historia y mito en la narrativa del subcomandante Marcos
2018
The uprising of 1994 by the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) in Mexico, represented not only a political and military event but also a discursive one. In this study, I analyse the ways in which historical and factual dimensions are intertwined with the personal accounts written by Subcomandante Marcos ; military leader and spokesperson of the EZLN. The deputy commander’s writing poses specific difficulties, given that he wrote directly from the frontline and under the urgency of this historical period. Such writing conditions stimulate us to examine the transitional modalities between live memory and textual representation, and to look at the genres and rhetorical devices that are…
