El debat pro i antifeminista a la literatura catalana medieval

1987

This 1987 PhD dissertation, was de facto supervised by professors Lola Badia (Universitat de Barcelona) and Alan Deyermond (Queen Mary University of London), although, because of legal limitations at that time, supervision was officially signed by another professor). This was a pioneer work in the field of women’s studies, particularly in the so-called “querelle des femmes”, although, as the dissertation study specifies, this label would only become known as such in post-medieval times. This work, then, does not deal with all misogynistic references in the whole corpus of medieval Catalan literature (that would be quite impossible in one publication), but only with those texts arguing for o…

New Materialist Explorations into Language Education

2023

This open access book analyzes language education through a socio-material framework. The authors revisit their position as researchers by decentering themselves and humans in general from the main focus of research activities and giving way to the materialities that are agentive but often overlooked parts of our research contexts and processes. Through this critical posthumanist realism, they are able to engage in research that sees society as an ethical interrelationship between humans and the material world and explore the socio-materialities of language education from the perspectives of material agency, spatial and embodied materiality, and human and non-human assemblages. Each chapter…

Speaking of politics in parliament : experiences of writing a book on the digitized Bundestag debates, 1949–2017

2022

This article consists of ex post methodological reflections on the procedures and practices that I applied in my monograph Politik als parlamentarischer Begriff: Perspektiven aus den Plenardebatten des Deutschen Bundestags (Leverkusen, 2021). The book analyses through 18 parliamentary terms the conceptualization of politics in German Bundestag plenary debates from 1949 to 2017. The book was an illustration of my long-term aim of combining political theorizing with the empirical analysis of debate. In writing the book, my guiding idea was to apply Ludwig Wittgenstein’s point, that the meaning of a concept lies in its use, to an analysis of how parliamentary debates open a perspective on the …

Politycy o przestępczości - charakter i uwarunkowania debaty medialnej

2016

Politycy w sposób oczywisty stają się uczestnikami medialnej debaty o bezpieczeństwie. Jest to konsekwencja zarówno obiektywnego znaczenia problemu, jak i powszechnego zainteresowania tą tematyką wśród medialnej publiczności, którą stanowią potencjalni wyborcy. Rozdział jest próbą rekonstrukcji debaty o przestępczości prowadzonej przez polityków w przestrzeni medialnej. Refleksja obejmuje okres istnienia III Rzeczypospolitej i, uwzględniając główne wątki tematyczne oraz punkty zwrotne, które w jakiś sposób redefiniowały tę debatę, zmierza do wskazania czynników warunkujących kształt i dynamikę dyskusji o przestępczości. Spośród najważniejszych zmiennych finalnie należy wskazać na uwarunkowa…
