El discurso totalitario del partido político España 2000

2016

Este artículo analiza los elementos principales del discurso del partido político español, España 2000, concebida como una formación adscrita a la corriente de «derecha radical populista». Para ello, se emplea la metodología de análisis de contenido y se aplica el modelo de «Totalismo Ideológico» propuesto por Robert Jay Lifton, que describe los elementos que caracterizan a las ideologías radicales. Como fuentes de información se utilizan las declaraciones de los líderes de la formación durante un conflicto sucedido en la ciudad de Valencia (España). La investigación muestra las particularidades totalitarias del discurso de la formación española y sus principales ejes ideológicos, que al ig…

The Double-Deviant Identity of the Mass-Foreigner and the Lack of Authority of the Crimmigrationist State

2019

Crimmigration has its breeding ground in dystopian and securitarian narratives. The anti-hero of these narratives is the mass-foreigner, a stereotyped version of the foreigner usually depicted, alternatively or cumulatively, as an enemy or as a parasite of host societies. But not only does crimmigration presuppose such narratives (and the deviant identity of the mass-foreigner, which is connected with them) as a source of legitimation, it also fuels these same narratives by providing them with an official sanction: by merging criminalization and irregularization on a legal level, it heavily contributes to making the social identity of mass-foreigners into a doubly deviant one. The overarchi…

"[English] is a part of who I am" : investigating English majors' linguistic identities

2016

Vaikka monikielisyys ei olekaan uusi ilmiö, on siitä esimerkiksi kehittyvän teknologian ja kansainvälisen liikkuvuuden kautta tullut yhä näkyvämpi osa nykypäivän maailmaa. Englannin leviäminen ympäri maailmaa on yksi osa tätä kehitystä, ja esimerkiksi Suomessa englanti on erityisen tärkeässä osassa kansainvälisen kommunikoinnin kielenä. Erityisen tärkeä monikielisyyden ja englannin rooli on suomalaisten yliopisto-opiskelijoiden elämässä, jotka opiskelevat pääaineenaan englantia. Monikielisyyden vaikutuksista puhuttaessa on tärkeää ottaa huomioon myös identiteetti, koska nykypäivän kielitieteellisessä tutkimuksessa katsotaan kielen ja identiteetin suhteen olevan erittäin vankka. Tämän tutkim…

Finnish model of peer-group mentoring: review of research.

2019

This article reviews research on the Finnish model of peer‐group mentoring (PGM). The theoretical foundation of the model is based on the constructivist theory of learning, the concept of autonomy in teaching profession, peer learning, and narrative identity work. The model has been disseminated nationwide in the educational sector to promote professional development of teachers and educational staff, mainly in primary and secondary education, but also in early childhood education and higher education. The thematic review is based on 46 peer‐reviewed publications about PGM in Finland in 2009–2019. Research has focused on the following main themes: (1) general aspects and characteristics of …

Cultural Identity and Using Music in the Intercultural Educational Process

2014

Abstract Working with music in early childhood education stimulates a child's brain, motor skills and communicative abilities, in addition to their socio-affective relationships. Through songs, a child can start learning about and practicing his or her culture of origin. At this point, the teacher should be aware of pluriculturalism in the classroom and promote awareness of cultural identity as an approach to developing interculturalism. Nursery rhymes, because of their compositional characteristics, are the perfect tool to develop intercultural values and ensure that children not only understand their own culture but also recognise their cultural characteristics in other cultures. A series…

Reliģiski-filozofiski raksti, Speciālizlaidums I

2022

A special issue, “Remembering the Past and the Future - Korean Culture in a Changing World,” is devoted to understanding Korean culture. Regardless of the bulk of comprehensive information available today, accurate knowledge of the Asian culture in Europe or the European culture in Asia has not become considerably deeper. Sometimes even to the contrary – the old stereotypes continue to exist as part of the packaging for pseudo information adjusted to the short-term goals of the contemporary globalised society, supplemented by travel guides and announcements tailored to the needs of immediate politically economic conjuncture. And yet, this is only the top of the intercultural communication i…

An Integrated Approach to Surveying Emigrants Worldwide

2019

AbstractThis chapter describes the research design applied in the research project The Emigrant Communities of Latvia: National Identity, Transnational Relations and Diaspora Politics, which forms the empirical core of this volume. It discusses this methodology in the context of other migration studies and major surveys on migration. Compared to previous studies The Emigrant Communities of Latvia is the most inclusive in terms of the target audience. All Latvians and Latvian nationals abroad were invited to participate in the survey, applying a broad and open definition of ‘Latvian diaspora’ based on personal identification with the Latvian nation and/or citizenship. Being Web-based, the su…

INTEGRATION IN LATVIA: FLOWS AND EBBS IN NATIONAL AND EUROPEAN CONTEXT

2016

Russian-speaking communities in the member states of the European Union (EU), especially the Baltic States and Germany, have earned special attention, in recent years, as subjects of important integration policies, on one hand, and the main targets of Russia’s propagandist efforts, on the other. Because a significant part of Russian-speaking communities accepted these efforts, questions were raised concerning the effectiveness of previous integration policies to strengthen the national identity and invoke a feeling of political togetherness. Thus the factors fostering and triggering integration and the relations between civic and ethnocultural components of integration are of wide interest.…

Despidos laborales. Fracturas sociales e identitarias

2008

The thousands of collective dismissals which have opened the beginning of the century in Spain do not just mean nearly two hundred thousand jobs (lots of them with a very long validity) and the same amount of broken life projects, but also ways of social reproduction, broken identities, institutions and social guarantees that crumble. Amazingly, these social upheavals often become eclipsed by discourses that appeal to economic considerations, the requirements of modernization or the requests of the logic of globalization. At this article, the consequences of the break of the social link intertwined along the second half of the twentieth century are investigated. For that, we have been rebui…
