Interdiscursive Hybridity of European Social Dialogue

2011

The European social dialogue, which is the name given to the bipartite/tripartite work of the representative social partner organizations, has evolved significantly since it was first introduced in 1985 and constitutes one of the pillars of the European Union (artt.137-139 of the Treaty establishing the European Community). The European dialogue, which is based on the principles of responsibility, solidarity and participation, is now structured within the governance of the Union and allows the social partners to make an important contribution to the definition of European social standards (COM(2002)341 final; COM(2004)557 final). However, the system of social partnership and independent soc…

Double Marginalized Lives as Woman and as Refugee: Syrian Female Refugees in Ankara

2020

Este tesis establece cómo las refugiadas sirias son social, económica, cultural, étnica y sexualmente marginadas y lo que piensan acerca de los eventos en curso, su estado y los pasos que el gobierno y las ONGs han tomado hasta ahora para dar soluciones a la invisibilización de las mujeres en la esfera pública. Para ello, he llevado a cabo esta investigación en los suburbios de Ankara con un grupo de refugiadas sirias que están socialmente excluidas como “mujer'” y como “refugiada” y con un grupo de mujeres locales. La atención se centrará en la relación entre los discursos producidos en la sociedad de acogida y la exclusión social de las refugiadas sirias. Cabe señalar que la fuente de los…

The effect of early career social capital on long-term income development in Finland

2020

PurposeIn this study, the authors examine whether social capital embedded in individuals' social networks is connected to employees' long-term income development in Finland.Design/methodology/approachAnalyses are based on 25–35-year-old employees from the Finnish Living Conditions Survey of 1994 combined with register data on earned incomes from 1995 to 2016. The authors used questions addressing the frequency of meeting parents or siblings, spending free time with co-workers and participation in associational, civic or other societal activities as measures of the extent of network capital. Ordered logistic model was used to examine whether the size and composition of social networks differ…

“Nice to get to know you” : Social presence in virtual exchange discourse

2020

Virtual exchange comprises online collaborative activities in facilitated, educational contexts across borders. This paper offers a multimodal approach to the study of social presence in students’ asynchronous online discourse in the context of virtual exchange. It draws on the Community of Inquiry model of online learning (Garrison 2017) and interprets social presence as the dynamic discursive process of social interaction and self-presentation. The data consists of screenshots collected in a closed Facebook group during the first assignment of a Czech-Finnish virtual exchange project in 2017. The study aims to explore how the method of multimodal discourse analysis can be used to describe…

Hierarchies of knowledge, incommensurabilities and silences in South African ECD policy: Whose knowledge counts?

2017

AbstractPolicy for young children in South Africa is now receiving high-level government support through the ANC’s renewed commitment to redress poverty and inequity and creating ‘a better life for all’ as promised before the 1994 election. In this article, I explore the power relations, knowledge hierarchies and discourses of childhood, family and society in National Curriculum Framework (NCF) as it relates to children’s everyday contexts. I throw light on how the curriculum’s discourses relate to the diverse South African settings, child rearing practices and world-views, and how they interact with normative discourses of South African policy and global early childhood frameworks. The NCF…

Which status for sensoric based discourses on digital social networks? Methodological reflections based on a corpus of wine descriptions in French an…

2019

International audience; [Context] The rise of digital humanities, embracing the expansion of digital speech production of western societies, imposes to reconsider the status of textual data – especially for specialized discourses (Lerat 1995, Petit 2010), for which written discourse has always been the most analyzed form of language use. Siever (2015: 85-86) has already raised the issue of the very nature of digital discourses in terms of medium, such as defined alongside the traditional oral-written-continuum (Koch & Oesterreicher 1994: 528). This led to a necessary theoretical and methodological shift giving priority to the conceptual level as embodied in the distance-proximity paradigm (…

French Fries, French Foxes and Crazy Frenchmen in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994) and Roger Avary's Killing Zoe (1994) : Reading Hollywood “F…

2010

International audience; This article focuses on the representation of Frenchness in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and Roger Avary's Killing Zoe, which were both released in 1994 and made by directors who regularly collaborated at the time. The treatment of Frenchness is different in both films, Pulp Fiction containing several anecdotal references and one French character, while Killing Zoe takes place in France with an almost exclusively European cast. The representation of Frenchness in these films will be my starting point to determine the readings possible for a spectator who is or is not familiar with French and French culture. “Frenchness,” which Pierre Verdaguer has shown is genera…

Victims, villains or organized community? : discrimination, social exclusion and empowerment in the media representation of urban poverty : case of b…

2012

The purpose of this thesis is to study the media representation of urban poverty in a developing country context, focusing specifically on the connections between media representation and social exclusion. The theoretical-methodological basis of this work draws from critical cultural studies and sociological media research, specifically from the theoretical assumptions of critical discourse analysis about media representation. The premise is the constructionist view that the media does not directly reflect the reality of urban poverty, but constructs journalist reproductions of it from a particular perspective and in a certain social context. Media representation of the subordinated groups …
