Immigration, Transition to Parenthood, and Parenting

2018

This chapter adopts a life-course perspective to show how transitioning to parenthood and parenting practices are negotiated and adjusted under the influence of both migrants’ childhoods and migration contexts. The method used for data collection was life-story interviews. For purposes of this study, were selected nine participants, exclusively women. Some mechanisms of parenting formation and transformation were identified by using both inductive and deductive procedures for data analyses. These methods elicited novel information on how women change during migrations with respect to child-rearing and familial patterns. The empirical data suggest that self-change in the case of young migran…

Des romans ignobles ? Violences de guerre et fiction chez Louis Dumur

2020

La publication de Nach Paris ! intervient, selon plusieurs des contemporains de Dumur, bien tardivement. Sa tonalité pamphlétaire ravive des tensions qui n’ont plus raison d’être, au moment d’une possible reconstruction européenne. Dumur est d’un tout autre avis et institue, avec ce roman, une écriture tout à la fois tournée vers l’actualité, l’imaginaire et l’histoire.

Drôle(s) de nation(s) : les constructions identitaires à l’épreuve de l’humour dans la fiction audiovisuelle espagnole au début du XXIe siècle

2020

International audience; La crise catalane actuelle, après des décennies de terrorisme basque, témoigne des fragilités d’un état soumis aux forces centrifuges des nationalismes périphériques. Le pacte constitutionnel de 1978, fondé sur l’équilibre délicat entre « l’unité indissoluble de la nation espagnole » et « le droit à l’autonomie des nationalités et régions qui la composent » montre aujourd’hui des signes évidents d’essoufflement, alors que le pays se relève difficilement d’une grave crise économique. Au même moment, le cinéma – Ocho apellidos vascos (Emilio Martínez-Lázaro, 2014), Ocho apellidos catalanes (Emilio Martínez-Lázaro, 2015), Cuerpo de élite (Joaquín Mazón, 2016), Fe de eta…

Social networks and robot companions: Technology, ethics, and science fiction

2019

Information technologies have become part of our everyday lives and are increasingly acting as intermediaries in our workplaces and personal relationships or even substituting them. This growing interaction with machines poses several questions about which we have no previous experience, nor can we reliably predict how they will influence the evolution of society. This has led to the convergence of technoscience and humanities in an ethical debate that is starting to bear fruit, not only with the setting of regulations and standards, but also with educational initiatives in university teaching, professional improvement, and the conformation of public opinion. Interestingly, science fiction …

Présentation du sous-dossier : la FASP à l’épreuve des médias

2013

International audience; Les deux articles retenus dans le sous-dossier thématique de ce numéro de Textes et Contextes sont issus de communications faites lors de la journée d’étude « La FASP à l’épreuve des médias : enjeux linguistiques, culturels et didactiques », organisée à l’Université de Bourgogne le 11 janvier 2013. L’objectif principal de cette journée d’étude était d’explorer la diversification médiatique de la fiction à substrat professionnel (FASP) et d’observer la prégnance du substrat professionnel et la circulation des discours spécialisés au travers de supports tels que les séries télévisées, les adaptations cinématographiques, les jeux vidéo, les forums de discussion et les b…

Contre l'autonomie et la clôture du texte : formes et ambiguïtés de la fiction moderniste européenne : (1910-1939)

2014

Although it has been a key concept of literary criticism in the English-speaking world for more than a half-century, modernism remains a relatively misunderstood notion in France, owing to its proximity to somewhat close concepts such as modernity and avant-garde, which it only partially overlaps. The concept is relevant to experimentation in all literary genres, but this study focuses on the novel, with texts by James Joyce, André Gide, Ramón Gómez de la Serna and Virginia Woolf. Those have often been mischaracterized by literary critics as either mimetic novels — though more realistic than realist novels — or more frequently as emblematic of the self-referential text, as defined by the do…

Idioms and fictional orality in Toni Cucarella’s narrative

2021

En aquest article s’estudien les unitats fraseològiques en quatre obres de Toni Cucarella en relació amb l’oralitat ficcional. La tradició d’estudis sobre l’oralitat ficcional analitza els recursos que evoquen l’oralitat en textos escrits o audiovisuals. Entre aquests recursos, en els darrers anys s’ha destacat la importància de certes unitats fraseològiques que són pròpies de la llengua oral i, en aparéixer en textos escrits, evoquen la llengua oral, com un mitjà per caracteritzar de manera versemblant els personatges. Analitzem la recurrència de les unitats fraseològiques i els motius que poden explicar aquesta recurrència. Les unitats fraseològiques més recurrents són les locucions verba…

Trajectories of life satisfaction and the financial situation in the transition to adulthood

2013

The aims of this study were (1) to investigate  young adults’ life satisfaction changes during the transition to adulthood, (2) to identify possible life satisfaction developmental trajectories during the transition, and (3) to examine how individuals’ agency and personal financial situations are related to the identified life satisfaction trajectories in the contexts of life-span and life course theories of development. The present study is part of the longitudinal Finnish Educational Transitions (FinEdu) study, in which a total of 372 (278 female and 94 male) young adults filled in questionnaires at four measurement points, that is, twice before (at 18 and 19 years of age) and twice after…

Start Making Sense

In this second section, focus will be given the Kristiansand Roundtable Conference and the dialogues and data that this book builds upon. Throughout this part, extracts and quotations will be taken from conferences to exemplify and illustrate issues that will be further discussed in the text.

The dialogues and discussions display a complex matrix of different interests and agendas, illuminati…
