Il senso del vivere, ovvero la vita come oggetto di studio antropologico

2017

Si può considerare l’esistenza un campo antropologico a tutti gli effetti? È fuor di luogo parlare di campo – esotizzante o meno che sia – a proposito di esistenza? Quali strumenti teorici utilizzare al fine di cogliere il senso dell’esistenza? In questo saggio, si focalizza l’attenzione sulla nozione di esistenza e sulle componenti che la caratterizzano in relazione ad altre nozioni ugualmente importanti in antropologia quali cultura, esperienza, potere, sapere, etc. Il tentativo è di trovare risposte mettendo a fronte questioni centrali in antropologia in modo non oppositivo bensì per tratti continui e/o discontinui: ‘religione come senso quieto del vivere’ e ‘ribellione ai codici dominan…

Ultraviolet imaging of volcanic plumes: A new paradigm in volcanology

2017

Ultraviolet imaging has been applied in volcanology over the last ten years or so. This provides considerably higher temporal and spatial resolution volcanic gas emission rate data than available previously, enabling the volcanology community to investigate a range of far faster plume degassing processes than achievable hitherto. To date, this has covered rapid oscillations in passive degassing through conduits and lava lakes, as well as puffing and explosions, facilitating exciting connections to be made for the first time between previously rather separate sub-disciplines of volcanology. Firstly, there has been corroboration between geophysical and degassing datasets at ≈1 Hz, expeditin…

АНТРОПОМОРФНЫЙ ВОТИВНЫЙ ХЛЕБ В ИТАЛЬЯНСКИХ ПРАЗДНИКАХ

2014

In Italy there are various records of the recurring presence of ceremonial breads; among these we may observe votive anthropomorphic breads, in particular in Sicily. These “special” breads are prepared for calendar festivals, for the patron saints’ days celebrations or anyway for celebrations of particular relevance for single communities, being connected to critical phases of the wheat cycle: that is to say, the month of May, the earing season, and June—July, the harvest season. This allows us to make the hypothesis that a devotional and votive value as regards these breads might be added to a more ancient logic of offerings to deities, connected to a vision of the rural world. In this sen…

Els canvis del discurs nacionalista espanyol com a conseqüència de l'auge de Vox

2021

L’actualitat política i social del nostre país ens porta necessàriament a parar atenció en l’auge del partit ultradretà Vox. Aquest partit va sorgir al desembre del 2013, com a conseqüència de les disputes internes del Partit Popularoriginades per l’erosió del partit arrelde la crisi econòmica del 2008. No obstant, no va ser fins a les eleccions andaluses del 2018 que Vox va aconseguir representació parlamentaria (llevat d’algunes eleccions d’àmbit local on va obtenir alguns regidors al 2015) tot i haver-se presentat sistemàticament. En aquest treball es fa una anàlisi del discurs de Vox a les seues xarxes socials per tal d'observar de quina manera contribueix als canvis en el discurs nacio…

Working the fields of big data : Using big-data-augmented online ethnography to study candidate–candidate interaction at election time

2017

The paper proposes big-data-augmented ethnography as a novel mixed-methods approach to studying political discussions in a hybrid media system. Using such empirical setup, the authors examined candidate–candidate online interaction during election campaigning. Candidate–candidate interaction crossing party boundaries is scarce and occurs in the form of negative campaigning via social media, with the shaming of rival candidates and engaging in battles with them. The authors posit that ethnographic observations can be used to contextualize the computational analysis of large data sets, while computational analysis can be applied to validate and generalize the findings made through ethnography…

Perceived status and value

2017

This article examines how students in a multidisciplinary project-based learning course involving real customers perceive their interactions with their customers. The authors conducted a qualitative study and analysed students’ learning reports by means of a thematic network analysis. The analysis shows how students perceive their status in relation to their customers and how their perceptions of their work affect how they see the value of the projects. The authors consider their empirical findings in the context of the existing literature on university–industry collaboration and thereby summarize different scenarios of the contrasting working practices and priorities in academia and indus…

Experimenting with the structured assessment dialogue in physics and mathematics classes

2017

Teacher–student discussions are central in assessing students’ skills and knowledge. This study deals with formal, pre-planned discussions to assess students’ inquiry competences. The method is called the structured assessment dialogue (SAD) which combines formative and summative assessment. Six SAD sessions (4 lower secondary physics and 2 upper secondary math) were implemented at the end of inquiry lessons. The SAD sessions were video recorded and the discussions were analyzed using theory based categories and networks. The results showed that the truly novel SAD method in Finnish classrooms challenged teachers and students. For example, students usually gave lower order answers although …

Kielikäsitykset vanhustyössä - asukkaiden, hoitajien ja esimiesten käsityksiä hyvästä vuorovaikutuksesta ja kielenkäytöstä

2018

In this article, we apply critical discourse analysis and ethnography to examine conceptionsand experiences of inclusive interaction and language use in the context of eldercare in aretirement home. Our data consist of interviews with residents, nurses and managers intwo bilingual eldercare units, as well as ethnographic observations of communication andlanguage use in these units. Our analysis focuses especially on language ideologies andmetalinguistic aspects of inclusive language in the context of eldercare. On the basis of ouranalysis, we suggest that four elements are particularly central to elderly-centric language: 1)the quality, quantity and tone of interaction; 2) the practices of …
