Sexual communication among intercultural couples with a Finnish partner
2016
In this study the topic of sexual communication, satisfaction, and accommodation in intercultural relationships is examined. Intercultural couples are in need of more attention in scholarly research, especially on the topic of sexual communication. This study aims to bring the topic into clear view. One research question leads this study in asking: “what factors play a role in how intercultural couples discuss sex?” 18 participants, making up 9 couples, were interviewed separately about their sexual communication; following the interviews each couple completed a survey together on the same topic. The Communication Accommodation Theory is utilized to evaluate how accommodative intercultural …
Overcoming Essentialism? Students’ Reflections on Learning Intercultural Communication Online
2022
The fields of intercultural communication (IC) and intercultural education are in flux and the paradigmatic shift is away from essentialist approaches on culture and interculturality towards seeing IC and interculturality as flexible, fluid, contradictory, political, and ideological constructs. This study presents a virtual exchange project, a joint introductory course on IC between a Finnish university and a French university. One of the objectives of the course was to provide students with a more critical, non-essentialist perspective on interculturality. This study presents an analysis of 32 students’ texts (learning logs) that are processed qualitatively using content analysis to find a…
'900: TECNOLOGIA REVERSIBILE PER UN ALLESTIMENTO CON LE RUOTE
2014
Per celebrare l’Unità d’Italia nel suo 150° ha preso il via da Palermo al Real Albergo delle Povere una mostra voluta dal Ministero per lo Sviuppo. Negli obiettivi, la volontà di realizzare una mostra che, non solo itinerante, applicasse l’uso di tecnologie innovative, sia removibili sia reversibili. Oggetto del presente contributo è chiarire come sin dal progetto sia possibile definire, attraverso l’uso appropriato della tecnologia a secco, ambienti, spazi e scenari adattabili di volta in volta a luoghi diversi. A Palermo il test della mostra ’900 ha dimostrato l’efficacia realizzativa potendo poi la stessa esser trasportata in altre città internazionali senza lo spreco di un solo elemento.
Temps, espace et signification : psychomécanique du langage et syntaxe structurale
2014
International audience; Fondé sur les principes théoriques de la psychomécanique du langage et de la syntaxe structurale, ce travail tente de redéfinir le nom-espace et le verbe-temps au service de la signification. Il s’appuie sur l’idée que cette dernière est adossée (essentiellement) aux mots prédicatifs (psychomécanique du langage) ou aux mots pleins (syntaxe structurale). Mais cette hypothèse ne vaut qu’à condition d’accepter préalablement le postulat selon lequel les langues (à morphologie identifiable) associent intrinsèquement le verbe au temps et le nom à l’espace. Dans ce corrélat noologique, le verbe-temps et le nom-espace forment, paradoxalement, une position et une opposition. …
L'écriture des documents numériques : Approche ergonomique
2007
Cet ouvrage traite de la conception de documents numériques utilisés en contexte professionnel et étudie en particulier les deux thèmes suivants : le découpage de l'information pour la mise en écran, les organisateurs de structure, de navigation et de mise en relief de l'information. L'influence sur la lecture des dispositifs de mise en forme matérielle et des organisateurs de structure et de navigation est souvent méconnue. Aussi les méthodes destinées à tester le rôle des dispositifs de mise en forme revêtent-elles une importance capitale et sont présentées à la fin de cet ouvrage. Les spécificités des supports (document papier et document numérique) sont également abordées en termes de c…
Dry-stone architectures in the Hyblaean rural landscape
2013
The European Landscape Convention defines the landscape «as an essential component of people’s surroundings, an expression of the identity of their shared cultural and natural heritage, and a foundation of their identity». Over the centuries, the thick network of dry-stone enclosures has become the image of the Hyblaean territory, indissolubly linked with the morphology of the landscape, the building tradition, the heritage of know-how and skills passed on from generation to generation. That same technique has often been employed in small buildings used for rural activities or as shelters. The present study aims at weighing the state of these architectures and their major problems of decay …
Consequences of Justifications of Assessments in French Expanded Audit Reports
2018
Since 2003, French auditors must disclose justifications of assessments (JOAs) in expanded audit reports. Like critical audit matters recently introduced in the US and key audit matters introduced by international standard setters, the purpose of JOAs is to enhance the informative value of audit reports. Based on French audit reports issued from 2002 to 2011, we analyze the impact of first-time implementation of JOAs, and the impact of new JOAs in subsequent years, on investors (measured by abnormal returns and abnormal trading volume) and on the audit (measured by audit report lag, abnormal accruals, and audit fees). For both first-time implementation of JOAs and new JOAs in subsequent yea…
Écriture et perception des grandes formes en musique contemporaine et, en particulier, chez Roger Reynolds. « Le cristal et la flamme »
2003
This PhD addresses the issue of musical time and form in the second half of the XXth century with the joint perspective of composition and perception. The first chapter describes composer’s main conceptions of musical time, compositional strategies, functions and formal models, as well as the main musicological theories concerning musical form. The second chapter is devoted to the semiotic square of musical form (definition, typological and syntagmatic approach). The third chapter is dedicated to R. Reynolds’The Angel of Death, a work that allows us to compare writing and perception. The fourth chapter reviews the main studies and theories forged by psychology around this question, and pres…
50 ans de psychologie de la musique
2011
International audience; Il y a cinquante ans paraissait La perception de la musique, ouvrage majeur par lequel Robert Francès instituait une forme novatrice d’approche du fait musical. Son style, sa cohérence scientifique, joints à une assise culturelle et à des intuitions exceptionnelles, lui confèrent une place d’autorité inégalée. Cette oeuvre vaut toujours à Robert Francès un important capital de sympathie et de respect souvent résumé par le titre de « père de la psychologie de la musique française ». L’héritage de La perception de la musiquese doit d’être pensé, débattu et analysé, surtout lorsque cinquante années de recul nous le permettent. C’est là tout le projet de ce recueil. Il r…
