HOLLOWS of EXPERIENCE

2010

This essay is divided into two parts, deeply intermingled. Part I examines not only the origin of conscious experience but also how it is possible to ask of our own consciousness how it came to be. Part II examines the origin of experience itself, which soon reveals itself as the ontological question of Being. The chief premise of Part I chapter is that symbolic communion and the categorizations of language have enabled human organisms to distinguish between themselves as actually existing entities and their own immediate experience of themselves and their world. This enables them to reflect upon abstract concepts, including “self,” “experience,” and “world.” Symbolic communication and conc…

The diffusion and influence of theoretical models of information behaviour : the case of Savolainen's ELIS model

2020

PurposeTo ascertain the diffusion and influence of Savolainen's ELIS model and its use as a theoretical and/or methodological basis for research.Design/methodology/approachA context citation analysis was made of the work where this researcher published his model. Analysis covered the year of publication, the type of work and the subject matter of the citing documents concerned. In-context citations were analysed for their frequency in each citing text, style, location and content cited.FindingsThe ELIS model received 18.5 cites/year. 20.2 per cent of them corresponded to papers published in journals in other areas, mainly computer science. The average of cites per paper was 1.8; 64.5 percen…

In-Between discourse and genre: doctor-patient interaction in online communication. Formal and informal features in CMC

2012

Abstract This paper presents the results of a corpus-based study which investigates the genre of medical eexchanges between doctors and medical website users. Three conversational routines (greetings, politeness, formal and informal linguistic features) are analyzed. The framework of the study is what some researchers refer to as net linguistics (Posteguillo 2003), consisting of the linguistic study of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). The findings indicate that health posts are a relatively informal type of d/p interaction which is largely influenced by e-mails and chat conventions.

GIFs in online interaction: embodied cues and beyond

2019

International audience; Recent research has characterized GIFs as a means for speakers to reproduce nonlinguistic cues such as bodily actions and facial expressions in online written interaction, which is first and foremost text-based. They make it possible to translate in digital interaction what those nonlinguistic cues enable to do in face-to-face conversation: express emotion and affect, and elaborate on what is being said. This article explores further the role and functions of GIFs as embodied cues and goes beyond, where GIF use diverges from body language in face-to-face conversation.

"Haters gonna hate": characterizing hater comments on YouTube thanks to impoliteness theories

2017

International audience; Previous studies have shown that comments on YouTube tend to show a “low degree of neutral stance” (Sindoni, 2014: 203). Comments are often either strongly positive or negative. Negative comments themselves commonly display all forms of aggressive and impolite behaviour (sarcasm, name-calling, hostility, ad personam attacks and a whole variety of other deliberate face-threatening acts). The epitome of this behaviour is the so-called “hater”, a commenter that deliberately posts abusive comments (“you suck”, “”Miranda sings is shit”, “fuck you Miranda sings”), generally unconnected to the content of the video and/or not constructive (see definitions in Lange: 2007). Ev…

Mettre le chocolat en mots : terminologie de filière ou commerciale ?

2021

International audience; Ce chapitre interroge les terminologies mises en œuvre pour la description organoleptique et hédonique de la fève de cacao produite en Equateur et approchée à partir de la dégustation du produit fini qu’est le chocolat. Il s’arrête en particulier sur les modalités de construction de ces terminologies dans le contexte local spécifique qui repose tout à la fois sur une dichotomie entre la culture de la fève et sa transformation en chocolat et sur la situation diglossique du pays entre langues natives pour les producteurs et espagnol pour les exportateurs et aficionados à l’origine d’un discours largement prescriptif. Affichant une orientation éminemment méthodologique,…

Molecular Self-Assembly Versus Surface Restructuring During Calcite Dissolution.

2016

Organic additives are known to alter the mineral-water interface in various ways. On the one hand, organic molecules can self assemble into ordered structures wetting the surface. On the other hand, their presence can affect the interfacial morphology, referred to as surface restructuring. Here, we investigate the impact, of a class of calcium-complexing azo dyes on the dissolution of calcite (10.4) using high-resolution atomic force microscopy operated in aqueous solution, with a focus on the two constitutional isomers Eriochrome Black T and Eriochrome Black A. A very pronounced surface restructuring is observed in the presence of the dye solution, irrespective of the specific dye used and…

El mejor pastor descalzo, san Pascual Baylón o la incursión teatral de Ginés Campillo de Bayle

2016

Resumen: Cuando los ultimos decenios del siglo XVII iban marcando el final de la Casa de Austria en Espana, un clerigo nacido en Elche (Alicante), Gines Campillo de Bayle, intento su incursion en el mundo literario de la epoca. Su figura y obra, por un motivo u otro, siempre han estado rodeadas por un entorno de misterio, desgraciada fortuna y escasa estimacion. Valorado con precaucion por unos pocos, ignorado o criticado por la mayoria, gran parte de su produccion lirica, narrativa y teatral ha conseguido llegar, a pesar de todo, a nuestras manos. Un ejemplo de lo senalado es la comedia teatral, asi titulada por el propio autor, El mejor pastor descalzo, san Pascual Baylon ; toda una demos…

Late steps of parvoviral infection induce changes in cell morphology.

2008

Previously, virus-induced non-filopodial extensions have not been encountered in connection with viral infections. Here, we report emergence of long extensions protruding from Norden laboratory feline kidney (NLFK) and A72 (canine fibroma) cells infected with canine parvovirus for 72 h. These extensions significantly differ in length and number from those appearing in control cells. The most striking feature in the extensions is the length, reaching up to 130 microm, almost twice the average length of a healthy NLFK cell. In A72 cells, the extensions were even longer, up to 200 microm. The results presented here also suggest that the events leading to the growth of these extensions start ea…
