Estilos de gestión de los perfiles políticos en Twitter: imagen y texto en las cuentas de los partidos en la campaña del 26J
2019
En este trabajo analizamos dos aspectos de las cuentas de los partidos políti - cos en Twitter durante la campaña del 26J: la estructura semiótica de los tuits y su función comunicativa. El análisis de estas dos varia - bles permite concluir que 1) las cuentas de los partidos carecen en general de voz insti - tucional y tienen sobre todo carácter ecoico respecto a las cuentas de los líderes, espe - cialmente los candidatos; 2) existe equilibrio entre el uso de texto e imagen; 3) la función predominante es el tuit de cita; 4) las cuentas son uniformes, solo destaca la de IZQUIER - DA UNIDA por su alto índice de especta - cularización de la política. No hay, en defi - nitiva, un estilo de ges…
How Effective are Business Ethics/CSR Courses in Higher Education?
2016
AbstractConcern is increasing worldwide for introducing dedicated courses on business ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in higher education curricula. In this study, awareness of business ethics is investigated from a sample of 307 undergraduate and postgraduate management students at a Polish university. This investigation aims at assessing management students’ awareness of business ethics issues, focusing on the potential differences in such perceptions depending on previous business ethics/CSR courses taken. Surprisingly, our results do not match prior findings in the extant literature. Notably, in our sample, having taken previous courses on business ethics/CSR does not p…
A Corpus Study of Ideology-Driven Discourse Practice: The University Language Learner as Researcher. The Case of Prepositions
2016
It is widely acknowledged that both language learners and teachers have benefitted in many ways from the implementation of ICTs in and outside the classroom, and continue to do so. The range of skills that students, as future professionals, are required to master has risen exponentially in recent times, partly as a result of these technological developments. The implementation of ICTs has been coupled with a focus in higher education on exploring new ways of encouraging creativity in teaching and learner autonomy, both areas having gained ground recently in teaching practices (Weimer 2002). In this context, open-minded instructors should accept ICTs not just as simple gadgets, blindly adapt…
Learner identity in EFL: An analysis of digital texts of identity in higher education
2018
This study explores learner identity (LI) in digital texts of identity (DTI) produced by college learners in English as a foreign language (EFL). In so doing, it aims to shed light on learners’ connections of their learning experiences across time and settings, and their impact on the various learner identities that form their LI. It also intends to elucidate how learners construct powerful learner identities in and through their digital discourses. To this end, 51 DTI were collected and scrutinized, following studies on LI, critical and poststructuralist discourse analysis, and “thematic” and “dialogic/performative” analysis within narrative research. Learners established connections betwe…
Position of text and discourse analysis in higher education policy research
2008
The article sets out to address the position of text and discourse analysis in higher education policy research, both from theoretical and methodological points of view. Theoretically, the article presents policy processes as discursive processes, arguing that higher education policies are constructed discursively. Methodologically, the article suggests that when policy documents are used as data, as is often the case in higher education policy research, text analytical tools should be applied more systematically than is the case now. To support these views, the article presents two cases of applications of a textual approach in higher education policy studies.
What I Talk About When I Talk About Quality
2010
ABSTRACT During the 15 years that Quality in Higher Education has held a focal position in the field of higher education assessment, the concept of quality has evolved from a debatable and controversial concept to an everyday matter in higher education. The author takes a personal look into the development of the field by first tracking the discursive changes in the debate, and then reflecting on the shift of the quality discussion from a matter of political substance debate to a matter of technical implementation. The article finishes with a look into possible futures of the quality revolution.
Epistemic cooperation scripts in online learning environments: Fostering learning by reducing uncertainty in discourse?
2005
Using online learning environments in higher education offers innovative possibilities to support collaborative learning. However, online learning creates new kinds of problems for participants who have not previously worked with each other. One of these problems is uncertainty which occurs when participants do not know each other. According to the uncertainty reduction theory, low uncertainty level increases the amount of discourse and decreases the amount of information seeking. Therefore, uncertainty may influence online discourse and learning. This study investigates the effects of an epistemic cooperation script with respect to the amount of discourse, information seeking and learning …

Las batallas de Atapuerca y la (re)escritura novelesca de la historia
2020
La batalla de Atapuerca (1054) constituye un hito en la historia del reino de Navarra. Desde su primera versión historiográfica conservada en la Historia silense (c. 1118-1126), el relato de la batalla de Atapuerca sufrió modificaciones, amplificaciones y refundiciones en su extensa dispersión en el tiempo y el espacio. En este trabajo se lleva a cabo, en un primer momento, una comparación entre distintas versiones latinas (fundamentalmente la Silense, el Chronicon mundi y De rebus Hispaniae) y castellanas de este episodio para luego dar lugar al análisis de una versión tardía del enfrentamiento incluida en el manuscrito 431 de la Biblioteca Nacional de España, códice que dataría de la segu…
Frame building and frame sponsorship in the 2011 Spanish election: the practices of polarised pluralism
2017
ABSTRACTThis study assesses if the well-established polarised pluralism of the Spanish news media system translated into frame sponsorship during the 2011 Spanish General Election. After reviewing the historical and cultural influences that shaped the 2011 Spanish electoral campaign, I conduct a qualitative discourse analysis of 96 news releases issued by the 2 main Spanish political parties, the Socialist Party and the People’s Party, to identify their sponsored diagnostic and prognostic frames. I then compare the partisan news releases with 27 El Pais and El Mundo editorials that evaluated the party-sponsored frames to explore if and to what extent both Spanish leading newspapers adopted …
