Understanding Language Teacher Identities : Conceptualizations, practices and change

2019

This chapter presents some new approaches and questions in language teacher identity research that could facilitate a better understanding of the work of language teachers, and as a consequence help teacher educators to support them in that work. Language teacher research has shown that periods of change play an important role in identity development. In the field of general teacher research, several studies have addressed the significance of transition phases and changes in curriculum for teacher identities and beliefs. However, there has been some research on the significance of teacher education and transition to full-time teaching for language teacher identity development. A more partic…

Amor y misoginia. A propósito de "amor fou" de Marta Sanz

2019

En este breve texto abordamos una aproximación a las relaciones amorosas, la misoginia romántica y su vinculación con las relaciones asimétricas de género en sociedades occidentales contemporáneas, a partir del análisis discursivo de la novela Amor Fou de la escritora Marta Sanz (2018). Todo discurso narrativo imaginado es, simultáneamente, producto de la realidad social e histórica en la que se inscribe y productor de las representaciones simbólicas hegemónicas que sustentan relaciones instituidas de desigualdad entre los distintos agentes sociales. Desde esta perspectiva, el análisis que proponemos de esta ficción narrativa se inscribe en el cruce de algunas renovaciones epistemológicas y…

Does daily distress make parents prone to using psychologically controlling parenting?

2016

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether parental daily distress in terms of negative emotions is associated with the daily variation in parental use of psychological control with their children. Whether parental positive emotions play a role in the use of psychological control was also investigated. The participants were 149 Finnish families with a child between the ages of 6 and 7 years. Parents’ negative and positive emotions, children’s misconduct, and parental use of psychological control when interacting with their children were measured daily using diary questionnaires filled in by the mothers and fathers over 7 successive days in the fall term of the children’s first…

Parental Affection and Psychological Control as Mediators Between Parents’ Depressive Symptoms and Child Distress

2013

The participants were 152 Finnish families with a 6- to 7-year-old child. Parents’ depressive symptoms were assessed using the revised Beck Depression Inventory. Children’s distress was operationalized as negative daily emotions assessed by using mother-, father-, and teacher-reported diary questionnaires. Parental affection and psychological control in daily interaction were measured using parent self-reported diary questionnaires. The results of structural equation modeling showed that both…

Love and Admiration (Wonder) : Fundaments of the self-other relations

2017

Introduction

2013

This introduction suggests regarding ‘religion’ as a cultural product. The relationship between religion and memory can be investigated through the practice of oath-taking, a particularly sophisticated social tool in ancient Greece. It concerns, in fact, both the status of social trust and problematic intercourses between gods and human beings, who fi nd in oath a regulated and effective space of interrelation.

Between looking back and moving ahead : an exploration of the role of the body and its movement in a music therapy case study

2017

We exist in this world through our bodies. Every single experience is stored in it, it helps us to communicate with others, relate and build meaningful relationships. However, when the connection to our experiences or the control over our body is disrupted by a traumatic experience or disease, we become disconnected from our genuine self and the world around us. Music therapy provides us with a space for integration – of painful or joyful memories, emotions, and our bodies. Especially in Western cultures this physical relationship to music is often neglected, even though music and dance probably developed simultaneously and are still very much the same in some African cultures. When we are …

2018

La música ha estat utilitzada des de temps immemorial per influir en els estats emocionals de les persones en tot tipus d’àmbits i situacions i amb objectius molt diversos.

Parlare alla pancia. Sulla falsa dicotomia tra emozioni e ragioni

2020

Nell’attuale dibattito sul tema della post-verità le emozioni sono generalmente pensate in contrapposizione o ai ‘fatti’ o alle ‘ragioni’. Tale contrapposizione sottintende una forte svalutazione della sfera emotiva, percepita come sostanzialmente ‘irrazionale’ e pertanto pericolosa. L'articolo intende mostrare l’inadeguatezza di questa idea facendo ricorso all' apparato concettuale della Retorica di Aristotele. Il limite principale della dicotomia emozioni/ragioni consiste nel non tenere nel debito conto il fatto che l’azione umana (cui il discorso persuasivo in ultima istanza mira) non può mai prescindere dalla componente del desiderio, che è invece centrale nella prospettiva aristotelica…
