Workers’ Institutes: envisioned community, living community
2015
This article focuses on the Workers’ Institutes (WI), one of the most important educational initiatives undertaken by the Spanish Republic during the Civil War (1936–1939). After framing their creation within the context of European trends in higher education for the working classes and within the Spanish socio-political context, this article examines the role of these institutions as an envisioned community and as a living community, dedicated to serving the Republic as an imagined community. Legal documents, political and pedagogical speeches, as well as opinion pieces, portray the WI as an envisioned community. As such, they represented the transformations and disseminated the aspiration…
Effects of Equivalence Framing on the Perceived Truth of Political Messages and the Trustworthiness of Politicians
2017
Recent studies in psychology have shown that the framing of a message affects judgments about its truth, as negatively framed statements are perceived as more trustworthy than formally equivalent, positively framed statements. The current work examines this effect in the contexts of political communication and public opinion. The results of three experiments show that equivalence framing affects both the perceived truth of political messages and the trustworthiness of its source, and that one cause of this effect is that recipients have learned to associate negativity with news and positivity with persuasive communication through media exposure. Consequently, we find that positively framing…
Problemi di giurisdizione nel contrasto al traffico di migranti via mare
2018
I trafficanti di esseri umani si avvalgono con sempre più insistenza di ben collaudati protocolli operativi. Questi ultimi consentono loro di sottrarsi alla giurisdizione penale italiana che non si radica qualora – in ossequio ai criteri di cui all’art. 6 c.p.ed in conformità alla Convenzione sull’Alto Mare– l’azione illecita avvenga in acque internazionali.Così, premesse alcune linee concettuali sui limiti spaziali alla efficacia della legge penale, l’indagine si sofferma sulla soluzione ermeneutica offerta dallaCassazione che, apparentemente in modo sbrigativo e per esigenze di effettività della risposta punitiva, ha fatto ricorso alla controversa figura dell’autore mediato per sanzionare condott…
The effect of depression and the reframing strategy on the level of satisfaction with family life in infertile and post-miscarriage couples: dyadic a…
2021
Pary zmagające się z bezpłodnością, jak i te po doświadczeniu poronienia poddawane są działaniu wielu stresorów, w obliczu których reagują lękiem, żalem i depresją, co negatywnie wpływa na płodność i wiąże się ze zwiększonym ryzykiem poronienia. Stosowanie różnych strategii radzenia sobie wydaje się mieć różny wpływ na stres związany z niepłodnością i doświadczeniami poronienia. Celem pracy było zbadanie związków miedzy depresyjnością związaną z niepłodnością i poronieniem a zadowoleniem z życia rodzinnego oraz roli stosowania strategii przekształcenia znaczenia sytuacji w przewidywaniu zadowolenia z życia rodzinnego w grupie depresyjnych par bezpłodnych oraz po doświadczeniu poronienia.

Modelling Offices Through Discourse Analysis: A Comparison and Evaluation of SAMPO with OSSAD and ICN
1992
In a previous paper the importance of framing office communications in terms of discourse analysis was explored. 2 It also presented an approach based on speech acts and conversations to allow this framing to occur. The approach was termed SAMPO. In this paper, we continue the discussion on discourse analysis by comparing SAMPO with two prominent office modelling approaches, Information Control Nets (ICN) and OSSAD, and discuss its merits in modelling office communications.
Reframing health care through social media
2015
This teaching case presents the story of the Hospital Campus (HC) project and its effort to reframe health-care services for the elderly through the adoption of social media. In a world of global ageing, in which an increased number of elderly patients will be cared for by a shrinking number of workers, a primary challenge is how to use technology to provide better and more efficient services for the elderly. The HC campus project focuses on how to involve information technology-illiterate elderly patients and their social networks in the design and use of social media services to improve their quality of life. In describing the development of the project, we focus on the elderly patients’…
Then and Now: Comparing the Soviet and Post-Soviet Experience in Latvian Autobiographies
2009
The article deals with an autobiographical representation of diverse experiences. Namely, through the analysis of post-Soviet Latvian autobiographies the framing of the Soviet and Post-Soviet era is revealed. The article suggests that instead of using progressive fame, which might give a positive estimation of the Post-Soviet experience, the autobiographers largely employ a nostalgic frame and continuation frame. Likewise, I argue that there are certain contexts that generate different framing practices: on the one hand, we can observe a professional context, which is typical to the former Soviet public officials, whose autobiographies utilize the nostalgic frame; on the other hand, there i…
The Commission’s informal agenda-setting in the CFSP. Agenda leadership, coalition-building, and community framing
2020
This study contributes to the literature on informal governance by examining politics of informal agenda-setting in the European Commission. As a ‘hard case’, the paper examines how the European Commission exceeds limited legal Treaty provisions in foreign and security policy (CFSP). This system, where the Commission has come to play a more prominent role than stipulated in the treaties, is interpreted as a normalization of CFSP governance. Three complementary propositions on the informal agenda-setting role of the Commission are developed: agenda leadership (#1), coalition-building (#2), and community framing (#3). To illuminate these propositions, we examine their relevance across three e…
"""Fluidity and flexibility of """"belonging"""": Uses of the concept in contemporary research"""
2016
Studies framing “belonging” as a key focus and a central concept of research have increased significantly in the 2000s. This article explores the dimensions of belonging as a scholarly concept. The investigation is based on a qualitative content analysis of articles published in academic journals covering a large number of different disciplines. The article poses and answers the following research questions: How is belonging understood and used in contemporary research? What added value does the concept bring to scholarly discussions? In the analysis, five topoi of conceptualizing belonging – spatiality, intersectionality, multiplicity, materiality, and non-belonging – were identified. Afte…
A dynamic performance management approach to frame corruption in public procurement: a case study
2021
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to frame the causal relationships between corruption in public procurement and performance of local governments. Design/methodology/approach An outcome-based dynamic performance management approach is adopted to explore a representative case study of a small Italian municipality. The model is based on three sources: qualitative primary data generated by face-to-face convergent interviews; secondary data retrieved from documents describing legal cases linked to procurement and open-access repositories; and an extensive literature review. Findings Emphasizing the role of community civic morality systemically may help to understand some counterintuitive re…
