¿Sin salida?: biomedicalización y resistencias en las comunidades virtuales de atención de personas diagnosticadas de agorafobia
2021
Las comunidades virtuales de atención constituyen espacios legos que cumplen con funciones distintas en la gestión del malestar. En esta investigación nos fijamos en los grupos on-line de Facebook de personas diagnosticadas de agorafobia para escrutar la articulación de respuestas legas de gestión del diagnóstico biomédico de la agorafobia como trastorno. Nos servimos de la netnografía, a través del análisis de discursos de las entradas y de entrevistas cualitativas complementarias, como diseño metodológico. El marco teórico que nos aportan los conceptos de medicalización y la biomedicalización nos sirven como coordenadas que nos permiten comprender que las articulaciones de estrategias de …
Escuela, aburrimiento y rebeldía
2002
This article intends to put light on some of the rationalization mechanisms of the boring and of the scholar disobedience presents at the modern psicopedagogical rationality. We carry on with this task spacing us out from a double position: the one that pathologies what challenge someone or defer from the established identities, and the one that turns violence into a simple phenomena of technical management and of production of expert wisdom. In order to rethink both scholar policy and psicopedagogical practices we will go deep on two phenomena by treating them as problematics. One of them is the 'institutional experience of going to the school'. The second one is inseparable from the above…
The long-term transformation of the concept of CSR: towards a more comprehensive emphasis on sustainability
2021
AbstractThis article adds to the discussion of the long-term transformation of CSR, presenting a perspective on the interplay between CSR debate and public discourse on business responsibility. 50 years after Milton Friedman’s provoking claim that the only responsibility for business is to seek profit, a broader debate has emerged aligning CSR with an increasingly comprehensive concept of sustainability. We trace this evolution of the concept during the last three decades focusing on the intersection of economic, social, and environmental responsibility. Based on discourse analysis of news articles and opinion pieces in the largest public newspaper in Norway from 1990 until 2018, the study …

Dictating the boundaries of ab/normality: a critical discourse analysis of the diagnostic criteria for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and h…
2017
In this article we report the findings of a critical discourse analysis of the diagnostic criteria for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and hyperkinetic disorder (HD) in two clinical manuals – Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition and International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition. We examine the actions (behaviors) that are said to indicate the presence of ADHD/HD and analyze what the inclusion of these actions reveals about the relationship between ADHD/HD, cultural knowledge, and values. Our analysis reveals that both manuals use subjective, value-laden language to construct a mentally ill individual in opposition to an unseen, supposed…
La construcción de la instersubjetividad desde la hermenéutica trascendental
2017
En este artículo se busca reflexionar sobre cómo el diálogo es una poderosa herramienta para utilizar en aquellos programas educativos que deseen contribuir con la transformación de la sociedad. Es por ello, que se hace necesario vincular la hermenéutica a la praxis de las ciencias sociales. La hermenéutica puede brindar a las ciencias sociales una metodología de encuentro de perspectivas a través de la intersubjetividad. La intersubjetividad, establecida a través del diálogo, puede posibilitar espacios de acercamiento a la hora de construir un conocimiento colectivo en el ámbito educativo. La ética, también como disciplina filosófica, puede servir para fundamentar la praxis educativa orien…

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…
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…
