Incongruencia epistémica, partículas intensificadoras y elaboración de la información
2019
Resumen: En el presente estudio se describe un patrón discursivo hallado en intervenciones reactivas tras aserciones. El patrón contiene una partícula intensificadora del acuerdo (p. ej., ‘claro’, ‘por supuesto’, ‘evidentemente’) seguida de un segmento en el que se elabora la información propuesta en la aserción iniciativa. Se argumenta que, en los contextos analizados, las partículas señalan la existencia de una incongruencia epistémica: aunque el segundo hablante muestra acuerdo con el contenido semántico propuesto por el primero, dicho contenido resulta conocido e incluso obvio para el segundo hablante y la aserción es, en ese sentido, problemática. A …
Multifunctionality: Epistemic diversity and concept oriented research clusters
2008
International audience; This paper provides a mapping of the different uses of the word multifunctionality. To explore the diversity of meanings and interpretations, a comparative analysis was conducted through five national case studies in France, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Switzerland. The analysis conducted at national level makes it possible to identify eight Concept Oriented Research Clusters (CORCs), based on a relative homogeneity in the research practices, in the research questions addressed, in the concepts used or discussed by scientists to lead their work and in the scientific disciplines, the stream of thought or possibly the epistemic community researchers belong to. Th…
Whence pseudoscience? An epidemiological approach
2017
In this paper, we develop an epidemiological approach to account for the typical features and persistent popularity of pseudoscience. An epidemiology of pseudoscience aims at explaining why some beliefs become widely distributed whereas others do not and hence seeks to identify the factors that exert a causal effect on this distribution. We pinpoint and discuss several factors that promote the dissemination of pseudoscientific beliefs. In particular, we argue that such beliefs manage to spread widely because they are intuitively appealing, manage to hitchhike on the authority of science, and successfully immunize themselves from criticism.

Regulación metacognitiva y actividad metalingüística durante el proceso de composición escrita en colaboración a partir de la lectura de fuentes dive…
2020
En este artículo se presenta un estudio de caso con el que se indaga en el proceso de escritura desencadenado por la lectura de fuentes de documentación diversas. Para llevar a cabo la investigación, se implementa en un aula de secundaria una secuencia didáctica basada en la modalidad de escritura cooperativa. Mediante el análisis de las interacciones de los equipos de trabajo (hablar para escribir y actividad metalingüística) y de los diferentes textos producidos, se determina la incidencia de las regulaciones externas en la calidad del proceso de escritura y de los productos textuales. Los resultados evidencian lo que de positivo para el aprendizaje lingüístico aportan las tareas compleja…
Handling epistemic uncertainty in the Fault Tree Analysis using interval valued expert information
2014
Risk Analysis ( RA) is a meaningful process in every industrial context, particularly referring to major hazard plants. In such sites, input reliability data are generally poor so leading to a partial or incomplete knowledge of the failure process. As a consequence, RA is always affected by the so called epistemic uncertainty which presence makes inappropriate the classical probabilistic approach. Therefore, the present work deals with such a kind of uncertainty in the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and proposes a new aggregation rule to combine the interval-valued information supplied by a team of experts about each Basic Event ( BE). The aggregation leads to an interval which bounds are modell…
A bottom-up procedure to calculate the Top Event probability in presence of epistemic uncertainty
2012
Industrial plants may be subjected to very dangerous events. Different methodologies are employed to evaluate the probability of their occurrence, as Process Safety Analysis (PSA) or Risk Analysis (RA). However, since for rare events reliability data are poor, the epistemic uncertainty needs to be considered. In this context, the classical probabilistic approach cannot be successfully used and then different approaches must be taken into account. Actually, this paper proposes the use of the Evidence Theory or Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) to deal with data characterizing rare events in high risk industrial sites. In particular, a classical Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is considered when the onl…

Stato, rivoluzione e violenza simbolica. Una lettura à la Bourdieu dell’insorgenza cilena
2023
The essay is part of a book that aims to rediscover and enhance Pierre Bourdieu's contribution to the legal philosophy. Clelia Bartoli's paper takes up the French sociologist's theory of the State outlined during courses held at the College de France in 1989/1990 and 1990/1992. Bourdieu eschewed an intellectual fashion of his time that pushed historians, political scientists, lawyers and sociologists to examine the causes and reasons, evolutions and epilogues of revolutions, at the expense, however, of what is happening on the background: the dull, muffled and repetitive order of things. Bourdieu believed that permanence more than change, what is obvious more than what is eccentric, the ord…
Conditional connection explored: the case of Sicilian cusà
2022
Abstract Stemming from a wh-question, the Sicilian marker cusà (cu sa ‘who knows’) expresses several epistemic meanings, which can also reach the realm of conditionality. The paper explores the discourse profile of cusà as it emerges from the analysis of diachronic data (from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries) and present-day informal Sicilian, namely spoken Sicilian and present-day informal Sicilian as written by speakers on the web. These data suggest a possible path of development leading from the wh-question to new functions. We propose that the origin of this development can be explained in the light of the strategy of the “impossible question”, while the diverse functions of cus…
