Strategic Leadership and Leaders in Entrepreneurial Contexts: A Nexus for Innovation and Impact Missed?
2015
Research at the nexus of strategic leadership and entrepreneurial contexts has been encouraging, but some of the more innovative and impactful questions remain underexplored. The purpose of the Special Issue was to provide a forum for works that build on the constraints, challenges, characteristics, and other salient elements of entrepreneurial settings to advance theory and testing on strategic leadership effects, as well as enrich our understanding of firm behaviour and outcomes in entrepreneurial contexts. We first provide an overview and background of the Special Issue. We then provide a summary of the process and outcomes, including a synopsis of the accepted manuscripts. The discussio…

How not to Resist the Natural Kind Talk in Biology
2019
Abstract: After the dawn of the traditional, essentialist view of natural kinds in contemporary philosophy (exacerbated in philosophy of biology by “population thinking”), non-essentialist cluster conceptions of natural kinds have been extensively supported and applied to numerous biological categories. However, salient philosophers have put forward two challenging arguments against cluster kind theories. I argue that, in both cases, discontent with a cluster conception of natural kinds is motivated by tacit and previous assumptions that can be challenged. I conclude that the concerns expressed in the objections do not make good reasons to resist natural kinds talk in biology unless one is …
El traslado ilícito de menores en la Unión Europea: retorno vs violencia familiar o doméstica = International child abduction in the European Union: …
2018
Resumen: Cada vez resulta mas habitual la concurrencia de violencia domestica o familiar en los supuestos de sustraccion internacional de menores, en los que la retencion o el traslado ilicito del menor se utiliza como una via de alejamiento. El sistema de retorno inmediato del menor del Convenio de la Haya de 1980 preve esta circunstancia bajo la excepcion de grave riesgo del articulo 13.1.b), en un marco regulador poliedrico, que se completa con el Reglamento 2201/2003, Bruselas II bis –para los traslados intracomunitarios – y con las medidas de proteccion previstas en el Convenio de la Haya de 1996 –entre los Estados parte– y el procedimiento del Capitulo IV bis de la LEC espanola. Los p…
Poétiques des archives. Genèse des traductions et communautés de pratique [monografico della rivista Transalpina, n. 18 - 2015]
2015
Ce numéro de Transalpina, né de la synergie entre les traductologues de l'équipe ERLIS et le groupe de recherche « Multilinguisme, Traduction, Création » de l'ITEM, s'interroge sur la poétique du traducteur en action à partir de ses archives. Les archives – mémoire des traductions à travers les traces de leur genèse (brouillons, tapuscrits, dialogues épistolaires...) – ne sont pas seulement le lieu où l’on peut observer le traducteur à l’œuvre, mais aussi un espace heuristique de reconfiguration de notre relation aux savoirs : le lieu et l’espace où tradition, traduction et invention nous donnent rendez-vous pour reconstituer – au plan génétique, philologique et herméneutique – le processus…
La heterodoxia en la poesía visual española del siglo XXI
2014
Resumen: Toda vanguardia esconde un malestar y una rebeldia contra la realidad que aflige al individuo y que se vuelve objeto de critica en las obras. En este sentido, tras aclarar a que nos referimos cuando hablamos de poesia visual, analizaremos algunas obras que han aparecido por primera vez en 2014, interpretandolas como reaccion contra la perdida de valores de la sociedad postmoderna. La finalidad sera demostrar que la poesia visual espanola del siglo XXI no ha renunciado a su heterodoxia, puesto que elige justamente este universo donde todo es rapido, fluido, superficial, complejo e inasible para seguir denunciando desde su interior la incomunicacion y la alienacion a la que nos han l…
Towards a lexicogrammatical pattern in Swedish crime novels
2013
The success of Swedish crime novels has been noted and discussed at length. Much of this commentary refers to a salient characteristic atmosphere which seems to be a common feature of most if not all Scandinavian crime novels. In this paper the potential of some recurring lexicogrammatical features to construct this characteristically gloomy and sombre atmosphere is presented and discussed. It will be shown that the vague feeling of unease which is perceived while reading these fictional texts is linguistically attestable. The analysis is conducted within the framework of M.A.K. Halliday’s systemic-functional grammar (SFG) which will be applied to three contemporary Swedish crime novels by …
Facilitating joint attention with salient pointing in interactions involving children with autism spectrum disorder
2016
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) reportedly have difficulties in responding to bids for joint attention, notably in following pointing gestures. Previous studies have predominantly built on structured observation measures and predefined coding categories to measure children’s responsiveness to gestures. However, how these gestures are designed and what detailed interactional work they can accomplish have received less attention. In this paper, we use a multimodal approach to conversation analysis (CA) to investigate how educators design their use of pointing in interactions involving school-aged children with ASD or autistic features. The analysis shows that pointing had specifi…
Derek Mahon's Literal Littorals
2012
International audience; A transversal reading of Derek Mahon's poems reveals his predilection for coastal landscapes: vistas of sea and seashore, harbour towns or seaside resorts. Suffused as they are with elemental symbolism (waves, wind, rain and storm, rocks, cliffs and misty piers), those liminal spaces take on a metaphysical dimension. The landscapes that the poet invests are the objective correlatives of his sense of alienation and vulnerability; they are mindscapes (paesagio mentale or reflections of the inner self) as much as territories to be paced and explored. This paper thus examines how the natural and the urban, the visual and the acoustic, the a-temporal and the modern or pos…
Voting Transitions in the 2019 Valencian Autonomous Community’s Elections
2020
The political fragmentation following the 2008 Financial Crisis and its economic, social, political and institutional fall-out have led to a growing left-right polarisation of politics and a weakening of the middle ground. The effective number of parliamentary parties is at an all-time high both inthe Spanish Parliament (Congreso) and in the Valencian Autonomous Parliament (Corts). Voters are spoilt for choice and switch party more often. This paper uses transfer matrices to analyse the shifting voting patterns in the European, General, Regional, and Local elections held during 2019 in The Valencian Country. The most salient result is the ever-shifting pattern at each end of the political s…
