Franco’s dictatorship in recent school textbooks: A critical review
2018
Este artículo analiza de forma panorámica el tratamiento de la dictadura franquista en los manuales escolares españoles de educación primaria, secundaria y bachillerato de los últimos veinte años. Se parte de la siguiente premisa: el tratamiento educativo de un pasado conflictivo y “candente” como el del franquismo debe preocupar de forma especial a la comunidad de investigadores y profesores de Historia, en tanto en cuanto tiene profundas repercusiones potenciales en la construcción de las identidades sociopolíticas de las nuevas generaciones. En este sentido, el artículo, aunque no niega los avances producidos, focaliza su atención en las carencias metodológicas, epistemológicas e interpr…
Who Intends to Enroll in Entrepreneurship Education? Entrepreneurial Self-Identity as a Precursor
2018
Entrepreneurial self-identity is attracting increasing attention as a potentially relevant variable in explaining the entrepreneurial process. So far, most research treats entrepreneurial self-identity as a consequence of, or, at the most, as being developed through the start-up process. In this article, in contrast, we analyze its role as a previous element that helps determine the entrepreneurial intention of individuals, the perceived usefulness of entrepreneurship education, and, indirectly, their interest in participating in entrepreneurship education courses. Our hypotheses are tested on a sample of Italian university students and graduates ( N = 88) with no previous participation in…
¿Una feria de cambios a la valenciana? Debate financiero y energía emprendedora en el siglo XVII
2020
In 1619 Philip IV sent to print a Real Pragmatic [Royal Pragmatic legislation] that would regulate changes between Valencia and Medina del Campo being introduced by Valencian merchant families to enable them to receive interest on their loans without being accused of usury. Only three years later, in 1622, the Republic of Genoa inaugurated the exchange fairs of Novi Ligure, with which the Genoese consolidated their international position in the international credit market. These apparently independent circumstances constitute an important episode for international financial knowledge and the transformation of the Mediterranean credit market during the seventeenth century. Studying financial…
Learning How to Tell, Learning How to Ask: Reciprocity and Storytelling as a Community Process
2020
AbstractIn this article, we discuss the discursive processes that surround storytelling of traumatic experiences in the case of minor asylum seekers involved in the recent migration flow to Italian ports. We argue that in order to understand not only how traumatic experiences are told but also how they are overcome, it is necessary to focus on the reciprocal relationships and impact of the members of the communities in which migrants are received. Such approach shifts the focus from the content of stories toward the protagonists of their tellings and from asylum seekers as ‘subjects’ to asylum seekers as members of communities to which they and others contribute. The article is based on nar…
Mitigation and reinforcement in general knowledge expressions
2020
Abstract Speakers often mitigate by downgrading their own role in their utterances, depersonalizing the origin of their utterances and de-focalizing the deictic-personal point of reference (Briz, 1998; Caffi, 2007). Linguistically, this can be accomplished by means of impersonalization, generalization and referencing general knowledge. Interestingly, using expressions that suggest the objective, general or shared status of information can, in some cases, lead to argumentative reinforcement or boosting 1 (Cornillie, 2007a, b; Caffi, 1999; Briz, 2016). Our goal is to examine the relationship between the functions of mitigation and reinforcement in indirect evidential expressions of common kno…

Figure–Ground Spatial Relationships in Finnish Sign Language Discourse
2020
AbstractThis study is about expressing spatial relationships between Figure and Ground in Finnish Sign Language discourse and shows that the variation in this expression is primarily discourse dependent. The main findings are, first, that Ground mainly precedes Figure whether the Figure is new or a known referent within the discourse; the reverse order is possible only when the Figure is known. Second, the lexical signolla(‘have’) appears more frequently in expressing spatial relationships with a new Figure and less frequently with a known Figure but never in a construction with Figure preceding Ground; the formoli(‘had’), referring to the past, appears only in Figure preceding Ground const…
Materiality and atmosphere. Two American beat artists painting Europe
2019
The article discusses how European painting heavily influenced two American Beat painters in the post war years. Post-war American painting was often concerned with breaking away from traditional iconography and style, but Jay DeFeo and Joan Brown chose to engage with European traditional painting. Both artists travelled to Europe early in their careers and both declare an intense interest in European painters, paintings, and architecture. In Brown’s case particularly the works of Goya, Velazquez, and Rembrandt become scrutinized and remodeled in her pasty abstract style. De Feo, on her hand, states a particular interest in how the European cities’ distinct colors, lights and textures inspi…
Childhood Obesity: The Relationship Between Negative Emotionality, Emotion Regulation, and Parenting Styles
2019
Objectives We aimed to compare obese children and their non-obese counterpart on children’s negative emotionality, emotion regulation and maternal parenting styles and to examine the joint contribution of children’s temperament and maternal styles to children’s obesity. Methods A total of 200 mothers were involved in this study, 100 with children diagnosed with obesity (49 boys, 51 girls; the age ranged from 6 to 12 years), and 100 with children with a normal weight (49 boys, 51 girls; the age ranged from 6 to 12 years). Mothers completed self-report measures on children’s emotionality, emotion regulation, and parenting styles. Results The comparison between the two groups showed that obese…
Does the Interpersonal Model Generalize to Obesity Without Binge Eating?
2016
The interpersonal model has been validated for binge eating disorder (BED), but it is not yet known if the model applies to individuals who are obese but who do not binge eat. The goal of this study was to compare the validity of the interpersonal model in those with BED versus those with obesity, and normal weight samples. Data from a sample of 93 treatment-seeking women diagnosed with BED, 186 women who were obese without BED, and 100 controls who were normal weight were examined for indirect effects of interpersonal problems on binge eating psychopathology mediated through negative affect. Findings demonstrated the mediating role of negative affect for those with BED and those who were o…
