The Politicization of European Union Trade Policy: Radical-Left Euroskeptic Opposition to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
2021
This study aims to analyze the correlation between radical-left Euroskeptic (RLE) activity and European Union (EU) trade policy by focusing on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). At the beginning of TTIP negotiations, the agreement was not high on political agendas and was not a major concern within European society. Thus, its salience was low. This initial lack of interest stemmed from the fact that the TTIP, as an economic and technical issue, did not draw public attention. This study shows that RLEs profoundly affected public opinion on the TTIP by increasing its salience during the European parliamentary elections in 2014 in France and Germany. Second, RLEs involv…
Una mirada a los requisitos de la obtención de la nacionalidad española por residencia
2014
Vivimos en un mundo globalizado y la movilidad de las personas es identificativo de la modernidad, por esta razón la obtención de la nacionalidad española por residencia constituye un tema de importancia en el entorno social, económico, político y jurídico español. Para un extranjero adquirir la nacionalidad es un largo camino transitado más de espinas que de rosas, por ello este tema requiere ser visto con toda la seriedad que sea posible. El objetivo de este trabajo es reseñar algunas de las doctrinas de la jurisprudencia más actualizada en la materia, en relación a los requisitos exigidos para la obtención de la nacionalidad española. Partiendo de la premisa, que cuando un extranjero lle…
Postcolonial Ghosts / Fantômes Postcoloniaux
2009
As liminal beings, ghosts seem particularly appropriate to define, question or challenge hybrid cultures where several, seemingly irreconcilable, identities coexist. The present volume wonders how they manifest themselves in the English-speaking world, and whether there is a specifically postcolonial kind of haunting. The 22 articles deal with textual, translational or historical ghosts, and take us to Canada, Australia, Africa, India or the Caribbean. Poems by Gerry Turcotte literally haunt the volume, which thus juxtaposes theory and practice in a dynamic and fruitful way.
Exploring the discursive construction of subgroups in global virtual teams
2021
The global teams literature has increasingly documented challenges due to demographic faultlines. While this literature tends to assume that faultlines are fixed and produce negative outcomes for teams, organizational communication scholars have long regarded team processes as dynamic and fluid. Drawing on a CCO perspective, we offer a re-conceptualization of subgroups as dynamic and discursively constructed. This study draws on an in-depth, longitudinal analysis of two global virtual teams to examine the discursive construction of subgroups and the role they play in team dynamics. Through a multi-method analysis of a corpus of 839 emails and 16 interviews with members of two global project…

2016
Starting from the contribution to the discussion on a fourth age of political communication, here we argue that, as a consequence of how the Web 2.0 has changed political campaigns, the theoretical...
La calidad periodística mediante el análisis del discurso de los profesionales de la información
2015
La investigación indaga las opiniones de los periodistas sobre la influencia de los cambios en el campo periodístico en las últimas décadas, es decir, qué opinan los periodistas sobre lo que permanece, lo que ha desaparecido y aquello que es nuevo. La base teórica se fundamenta en la teoría del campo y del habitus de Pierre Bourdieu y en el análisis de la estructura comunicativa desde las perspectivas económica, sociológica, históricopolítica y tecnológica. Se han aplicado una serie de métodos complementarios: análisis cualitativo de entrevistas en profundidad y análisis pragmadialéctico de los argumentos de los periodistas entorno al concepto de calidad periodística The research investigat…
Uneasy Bedfellows. Comparing the Diversity of German Public Service News on Television and on Facebook
2018
News consumption has shifted increasingly to new platforms and gateways such as social network sites (SNS) with Facebook leading the way. Accordingly, journalists must cope with this “uneasy bedfellow” and provide news on Facebook to attract otherwise hard-to-reach audiences. This is even more relevant for public service broadcasters (PSBs), whose mission is to serve the interests and needs of every citizen. Bound to their public service mission, PSBs have to generally fulfill specific normative requirements such as diversity within their coverage, particularly to a higher degree than their commercial counterparts. Consequently, these requirements should be transferred to public service onl…
Polarization and Spectacle in the Spanish Political Talk Show ‘La Sexta Noche’ During the 2019 European Elections
2021
This article analyses how in the main political talk show on television in Spain, La Sexta Noche, the main themes of the European agenda were silenced or conditioned by the themes of the national, regional and local agenda during the last European elec-tions. The media debate was oriented towards an analysis of the results of national elections and the campaign for regional and local elections that al-lowed for a greater spectacle, thanks to the shock effect of such polarized ideol-ogies and the trivialization of national politics. This research has studied all the shows of the programme broad-cast as of the national elections on 28th April 2019 up until the European elections held on 26th …
A Twitter campaign against pseudoscience: The sceptical discourse on complementary therapies in Spain
2019
The main objective of this article is to analyse the sceptical movement’s discourse on complementary therapies in Spain, as well as comprehend its mobilisation against these therapies. Over the past 2 years, the Spanish sceptical movement, constituted by citizen’s associations against unconventional therapies and in favour of evidence-based medicine, has increased its activism which, as a result, is now more familiar to the public. To perform this study, three sources of information were selected: (a) the #StopPseudociencias campaign, with a corpus of 6252 tweets; (b) 153 news articles published during the study timeline and (c) 7 interviews with members of the sceptical movement, journalis…
Seek and you shall find? A content analysis on the diversity of five search engines’ results on political queries
2020
Search engines are important political news sources and should thus provide users with diverse political information ��� an important precondition of a well-informed citizenry. The search engines��� algorithmic content selection strongly influences the diversity of the content received by the users ��� particularly since most users highly trust search engines and often click on only the first result. A widespread concern is that users are not informed diversely by search engines, but how far this concern applies has hardly been investigated. Our study is the first to investigate content diversity provided by five search engines on ten current political issues in Germany. The findings show t…
