Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas
2016
El propósito de este estudio es presentar el impacto de una intervención usando cuestiones sociocientíficas para desarrollar el pensamiento crítico en estudiantes universitarios. Se hizo un estudio cuasiexperimental pretest-postest con 56 estudiantes durante 16 semanas. La información del pretest y postest fue valorada desde un análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo del contenido, que permite comparar el tipo de respuestas de los participantes una vez finalizada la intervención. El análisis indica que los estudiantes emiten argumentos más fundamentados en relación con valorar aspectos sociales de la ciencia, cuestionan la información a partir de comparación de diversas fuentes y hacen reflexio…
Gender training for the judiciary in Argentina
2014
AbstractIn this paper I describe the two major Argentine experiences of gender training for the judiciary against the background of two relevant trends, women's entry in considerable numbers into the judiciary and the process of expansion of women's rights initiated after the restoration of democracy. The gap between the passing of progressive legislation and its lack of enforcement speaks of a tradition of women's subordination that is much engrained in our society and in its legal system. In spite of the existence of progressive egalitarian legislation stereotyped thinking prevails to prevent progressive legal practices. This constitutes a strong argument for gender training of the judici…
Bodily cleanliness in modern nursing
2013
Why are bodily washing practices the way they are in nursing? Michel Foucault argues that modern democratic societies discipline human bodies in accordance with political interests. In the extension of that argumentation we will show that bodily cleanliness in modern nursing may have been used as a disciplining tool. The first part of our discussion takes as its point of departure the second half of the 19th/the beginning of the 20th centuries, the period in which modern nursing emerged. At that time scientific theories on hygiene seem to have legitimized the political effort to produce a clean, pleasant-smelling, decent, obedient, and productive population. Doctors, nurses and teachers pla…
"Jos emme me jotain ymmärrä, niin ei ole meidän asiamme sitä tuomita." : argumentaation vahvistamisen keinot translaki-aloitteiden käsittelyssä
2018
Tutkimuksessani selvitän, minkälaisia retorisia keinoja kansanedustajat ja ministerit käyttävät translain uudistamista koskevissa keskusteluissa eduskunnassa. Keskustelu translain uudistamisesta on ollut viime vuosien aikana vilkasta, ja puolustavien ja vastustavien tahojen argumentaatio kirjavaa. Niinpä kiinnostuinkin tarkastelemaan, minkälaisia argumentaation vahvistamisen keinoja puheenvuoroissa todella käytetäänkään. Tutkimus on sekä ajankohtainen että yhteiskunnallisesti merkitsevä. Julkisen keskustelun ja sen argumentaation tarkasteleminen auttaa ymmärtämään ilmiöitä ja huomaamaan, millä tavoin ihmiset pyrkivät vaikuttamaan toisiinsa. Tutkimuskysymykseni ovat: Minkälaisia retorisia ke…

Is there a convincing case for climate veganism?
2020
AbstractClimate change compels us to rethink the ethics of our dietary choices and has become an interesting issue for ethicists concerned about diets, including animal ethicists. The defenders of veganism have found that climate change provides a new reason to support their cause because many animal-based foods have high greenhouse gas emissions. The new style of argumentation, the ‘climatic argument(s) for veganism’, may benefit animals by persuading even those who are not concerned about animals themselves but worry about climate change. The arguments about the high emissions of animal-based food, and a resulting moral obligation to abstain from eating such products, are an addition to t…
La ironía en la retórica de la argumentación
2017
La presencia de los argumentos en nuestra vida en sociedad es un asunto indiscutible. El uso de la palabra en el terreno de la argumentación, ha sido pues objeto de estudio desde la época clásica hasta nuestros días, si bien las condiciones de las reflexiones sobre la materia se han ido adaptando con el cambio de los tiempos. El presente trabajo, parte de la noción de argumentación que surge con la Nueva Retórica para reflexionar sobre la dimensión retórica de los argumentos y en concreto el recurso a la ironía en nuestras argumentaciones. La ironía ha sido objeto de múltiples estudios desde diversas disciplinas a lo largo de la Historia. Aunque referenciada en los manuales clásicos de retó…
How Islamic are young Muslim people’s poems?
2019
In this article, I investigate poetry written by two young Muslim people during their spare time. Adopting Shahab Ahmed’s (2016) understanding of Islamic in its plenitude and complexity, I ask how Islamic their texts are. The participants, Neda and Mohammed (both pseudonyms), grew up in Islamic countries where they were socialised in faith literacy practices, including practices around sacred and devotional texts, before moving to Norway in their teens. The data used for this article were collected during two linguistic ethnographies and include poems written in and outside of school, fieldnotes from classroom observations and transcripts from multiple semi-structured interviews. The interv…
Accordo e persona nell’argomentazione: il caso dell’ad hominem.
2012
Is the ad hominem argument a fallacy or not? In this paper I will try to demonstrate that an ad hominem is not intrinsically fallacious and that the speaker’s personal convictions, commitments and actions are deeply involved in every argument. This paper starts with a comparison between dialectical and rhetorical approaches to the argumentation, and, in particular, to the agreement. Briefly: from a dialectical standpoint, the argumentation is aimed at resolving a difference of opinion or a disagreement. On the other hand, from the rhetorical perspective argumentation also often deals with dialogues of the deaf, with incommensurable points of view. The agreement is a key concept of Perelman’…
« Follow ma folie ! » : les répétitions de sonorités dans les chansons de Stromae
2016
Tutkimus käsittelee kielikuvien argumentatiivisuutta belgialaisen artistin Stromaen toisen studioalbumin Racine carrée sanoituksissa. Aineistoksi valittiin kyseinen albumi sillä perusteella, että se on saavuttanut suurta suosiota ympäri maailmaa myös maissa, joissa ranska ei ole virallinen kieli. Tarkoituksena on saada selville, kuinka Stro-mae käyttää sonoriteettien toistoa tuodakseen esille näkemyksensä asioista, joita hän käsittelee kappaleissaan. Tarkemmin tarkasteltavaksi valittiin viisi laulua, joissa esiintyy eniten äännetoistoa kielikuvana. Analyysiosiossa tutkittiin laadullisen analyysin avulla neljää erilaista sonoriteettien toistoa: riimiä, paronomasiaa, assonanssia ja allitteraa…
