La reivindicació identitària en els narradors del Realisme Compromès de la postguerra
2017
The paper reviews the realistic and engagé movements that cover the European postwar years. And then it studies the parallel Catalan movement focusing on the problem of identity assertion in the narrative. In many of our narrators of this realism of complaint (Concepció G. Maluquer, Estanislau Torres, Víctor Mora and Joaquim Carbó) national commitment accompanyies social and political commitment. It is a peculiar trait that distinguishes our movement and gives the physiognomy of its own.
Rhetoric About Sustainability in Education: The Presence of the Words Not Spoken
2015
In this chapter, Rhetoric about Sustainability in Education The presence of the words not spoken, Astrid Stifoss-Hanssen addresses the rhetorical situation that one runs into when addressing concepts of sustainability. The theme here is how rhetoric and reality can be reconciled. A key concept is ethos. Ethos implies that you really mean what you say and live by it.
Scientific ethos and the cinematic zombie outbreak : science in fictional narratives
2015
Public anxiety about emerging biothreats is evident in the recent glut of popular entertainment where the demise, or near demise, of humankind is imagined to be the result of a new infectious pathogen against which science has no existing vaccine or cure. This article examines the figure of the scientist in such fictional narratives and what these characterizations indicate about public attitudes toward science in our contemporary world. It focuses in particular on the image of the scientist as clumsy naïve, immoral experimenter, heroic savior, and self-reflexive ethical agent.
Shoah y Spielberg: 25 años de un modelo narrativo para contar el Holocausto
2020
La lista de Schindler representó un punto de inflexión en la narrativa sobre el Holocausto. A pesar de que fue bien recibida por crítica y público, algo nada habitual en la trayectoria de un Steven Spielberg al que se tildaba de autor infantil y bueno sólo como realizador de cine de aventuras, la película no lo fue tanto en los círculos intelectuales judíos. La crítica negativa a la fábula cruel pero esperanzada de Spielberg fue ejercida especialmente por el director de otra de las propuestas cinematográficas que desde el extremo opuesto formalmente, también sentó referencia en el género: Claude Lanzmann y su monumental Shoah. Ahora, un cuarto de siglo después, queremos analizar en este art…
Falkland, the promised islands. Approaches to literature of the war
2018
Resumen: El presente artículo propone, en primer lugar, un acercamiento a la construcción nacional del relato sobre las Islas Malvinas. En segunda instancia se realiza un recorrido por la literatura que aborda la guerra de Malvinas a partir de tres focos narrativos: 1982-1989, 1990-2001 y 2002-2017. La periodización responde a las diferentes generaciones pero también a los procesos sociales que han acompañado una transformación política y cultural en Argentina. Finalmente, y como modo de detectar los principales géneros, tramas y conflictos narrativos que han surgido hasta este momento, se analizan las obras más representativas de cada periodo. Abstract: Firstly, this article proposes an ap…
A qualitative fallacy: Life trapped in interpretations and stories
2021
This paper points out some problematic aspects of qualitative research based on interviews and uses examples from mental health. The narrative approach is explored while inquiring if the reality of life here is forced into the formula of a chronological story. The hermeneutic approach, in general, is also examined, and we ask if the reality of life in this scenario becomes caught up in a web of interpretations. Inspired by ideas from Bakhtin and phenomenology, we argue for interview-based research that stays with unresolvedness and constantly question the web of interpretations and narratives that determine our experiences. This also chimes with certain dialogical practices in mental healt…
Divorce and Gendered Family (Re)Configurations in a Sample of Employed and Higher Educated Mothers and Fathers
2020
Altres ajuts: CSO2016-78715-R From 26 semi-structured interviews conducted in Spain we examine how motherhood and fatherhood is redefined and how family configurations are reshaped after a divorce or separation. The existence of common children in our sample meant that their original nuclear family never completely dissolved as the meaning of families became broader and more complex. Family was not restricted to a specific home, those who shared a home weren't necessarily united by family ties, nor did living alone necessarily mean a lack of family, stable relationships, or strong emotional ties. Gender transcended all divorce-related issues although for all respondents post-divorce motheri…
Group-Analytic Family Psychotherapy: A Transcultural Perspective
1997
Group-analytic family psychotherapy is a methodology based on a development of Group-analytic theory. The family is defined as a mental field formed by the symbolic plot of `us' in a double relationship: with the cultural history of the family group on one side, and with external groups on the other. The symbolic plot thus has a tribal characteristic which connects the genealogical trees to the ancestral foundation of the group. In cases of psychotic and borderline patients, Group-analytic family psychotherapy has indicated two types of family: those that are embedded in the past, or families that are cut off from the past. After outlining the circumstances of Italian families, this articl…
Narrative process modes as a bridging concept for the theory, research and clinical practice of systemic therapy
2005
This article is concerned with the relationships which hold between the clinical practice and the theory of family therapy; and between these and academic research. These relationships are seen as tenuous and thin because, in the first place, there is a lack of rigorous theoretical underpinning; and second, the research methods employed do not fit in with current family therapy practice, and with the theory that underlies this practice. The role of the concept of narrative process modes is proposed as a bridging and mediating one. The external, internal and reflective narrative process modes are seen as relevant from the point of view of family therapy process research, and the clinical pra…
Making sense of multi-actor dialogues in family therapy and network meetings.
2012
In recent years, a number of family therapists have conceptualized psychotherapy as a dialogical activity. This view presents family therapy researchers with specific challenges, the most important of which is to find ways of dealing with the dialogical qualities of the multi-actor dialogues that occur, for example, in family therapeutic conversations. In this article, we propose some preliminary ideas concerning qualitative investigations of multi-actor dialogues. Our aim is to work toward an integration of Bakhtin’s theoretical concepts with good practices in qualitative research (e.g., dialogical tools and concepts of a narrative processes coding system) in order to make sense of family …
