Modelling Quoting in Newswriting : A Framework for Studies on the Production of News
2019
The Mediated Social Communication (MSC) approach considers mass media a venue for opposing and complementary societal groups to publicly negotiate socially relevant topics. This negotiation is conducted through representatives of these groups and mediated by journalists. Inspired by the MSC approach, this paper presents an empirically grounded model that structures the mediating process through the process of quoting. By identifying the key phases of newswriting as sub-processes of quoting, the paper argues that journalists (1) decide on a topical issue to be addressed (topicalisation), (2) identify groups of people who are linked to this issue (societal localisation), (3) pick some people …

2022
Bakalaura pētījums “Tiešsaistes spēles (ne)produktivitāte: gadījuma pētījums par radošumu” fokusējās uz radošajiem procesiem, ko piedzīvo galda spēles Dungeons and Dragons spēlētāji veidojot virtuālās pasaules un veidiem kā radošums izpaužas, kad spēle ir situēta tiešsaistes vidē.

2014
In Italy there are various records of the recurring presence of ceremonial breads; among these we may observe votive anthropomorphic breads, in particular in Sicily. These “special” breads are prepared for calendar festivals, for the patron saints’ days celebrations or anyway for celebrations of particular relevance for single communities, being connected to critical phases of the wheat cycle: that is to say, the month of May, the earing season, and June—July, the harvest season. This allows us to make the hypothesis that a devotional and votive value as regards these breads might be added to a more ancient logic of offerings to deities, connected to a vision of the rural world.
