La construcción de las identidades de la mujer contemporánea en la revista Cosmpolitan. Una aproximación multimodal de las ediciones de EEUU y España
2018
La presente tesis doctoral está centrada en el análisis de las identidades de la mujer contemporánea representadas en el discurso de las ediciones española y estadounidense de la revista Cosmopolitan. Esta investigación permite reflexionar sobre el concepto de identidad (Bauman, 2005, Lipovetsky, 2016), principalmente la identidad de la mujer en los contextos socioculturales de España y Estados Unidos (Butler, 1990; Giddens, 1995; Hinojosa, 2005). A través de dicha reflexión, también observamos los efectos de las formas de representación de los discursos mediáticos, dirigidos a la mujer, en la creación de significados y creencias compartidas en las comunidades de práctica dentro de la socie…
Senso, ritmo, multimodalità. Uno studio comparativo dei processi traduttivi nelle lingue dei segni (LIS e LSF)
2021
La presente tesi di dottorato analizza i processi traduttivi nelle lingue segnate, indagando la maniera di (re-)enunciare il senso in traduzione. La riflessione si costruisce come dialogo fra la linguistica delle lingue segnate e la traduttologia, a partire da presupposti teorici comuni a entrambe le discipline benché differentemente declinati, come il concetto di oralità. Lo studio, che intende definirsi come non assimilazionista (così come auspicato da C. Cuxac), tiene conto delle peculiarità proprie delle lingue segnate, fra cui le caratteristiche di multimodalità e multilinearità, e analizza le lingue dei segni sulla base del modèle sémiologique. Considerando la prospettiva dell’embodie…

Renforcement de la saveur sucrée par ajout d'arôme dans des boissons
2018
Pour répondre aux recommandations des pouvoirs publics de réduire la consommation de sel, de sucre et de matières grasses qui entrent dans la composition des aliments, les industriels doivent reformuler leurs produits tout en maintenant une bonne acceptabilité pour le consommateur. La perception globale d'une flaveur résulte le plus souvent de l'intégration d'informations transmises par différents sens. Cette intégration est le support d'interactions dites multimodales entre différentes modalités sensorielles. sCes interactions sont principalement dues à des associations apprises mais peuvent être utilisées comme stratégies alternatives pour la reformulation d'aliments à teneur réduite en s…

“Dear Young People, don’t vote”. Seniors in political advertisements: irony and/or legitimation
2019
The widespread representation of older people in popular culture as passive and inert has been challenged in a range of recent studies and publications (Nussbaum / Coupland 2004, Caprara et al. 2013). In view of the increasing number of older adults in today’s society, the notion of aging has received significant attention in the public sphere where common assumptions and stereotypes are challenged and potential scenarios are presented. As it has been discussed from different academic perspectives over the past twenty years, older people’s collective condition is undergoing important sociological and cultural changes, making the elderly - among other things - an enticing political reservoir…
Seniors’ social image: the representation of ageing in electoral campaigns
2019
This study builds on previous research on ageing representation in relation to common assumptions and stereotypes (Schneider & Ingram 1993; Holladay & Coombs 2004, Kaid & Garner 2004), in order to provide an overview of the ways in which older adults have been addressed and exploited in US political (i.e. electoral) campaigns. Considering campaign ads as multimodal texts, Kress & van Leeuwen’s social semiotic approach (2001) is used to examine how multimodal elements convey seniors’ images. In addition, this analysis draws on legitimation theory (van Leeuwen 2008) to analyse which legitimation tactic is employed to convey meanings through the voice of elderly people. In this…
Chaining in interpreted interaction : Finnish Sign Language interpreting in an English-medium educational setting
2016
Interaction is always multimodal. Multimodality means that meanings are conveyed by using different semiotic resources, such as language, gestures, facial expressions, written text and pictures. Even though it is considered that also interpreted interaction is multimodal, this aspect of the interpreters’ work is often neglected in research and focus on how interpreters utilize multimodality in their work is called for. In this study one English-medium lecture that is interpreted into Finnish Sign Language is analyzed. The lecture’s duration is approximately one hour. The focus is on one multimodal phenomenon: chaining. Chaining means that different semiotic resources are utilized, for examp…
Nouvelles technologies et aide à la compréhension de documents techniques : Construction et expérimentation d'un simulateur de fonctionnement de grue…
2001
Reading skills are more and more required to succeed professional examination. French crane drivers are concerned with this problem. In order to help them, we have conducted a study with three main steps. First, we carried out a cognitive work analysis. Second, we test several analogical modalities of written presentations focusing on the construction of a specific simulator. Finally, two experiments are presented showing a significative effect of this simulator on the comprehension of cranes technical documentation.
“Nice to get to know you” : Social presence in virtual exchange discourse
2020
Virtual exchange comprises online collaborative activities in facilitated, educational contexts across borders. This paper offers a multimodal approach to the study of social presence in students’ asynchronous online discourse in the context of virtual exchange. It draws on the Community of Inquiry model of online learning (Garrison 2017) and interprets social presence as the dynamic discursive process of social interaction and self-presentation. The data consists of screenshots collected in a closed Facebook group during the first assignment of a Czech-Finnish virtual exchange project in 2017. The study aims to explore how the method of multimodal discourse analysis can be used to describe…
