A Glimpse over the Rising Walls

2009

The authors focus on societal perceptions of the Polish post-communist transformation as reflected in the rising discourse of gated communities. Guarded, (video-) controlled and/or walled housing estates have been on the sprawl in the Polish metropolises throughout the 1990s and 2000s. However, only recently they have been discursively constructed—under the banner of “gated communities”—as a social and political issue in the country. The authors look at this issue from a vantage point offered by Laclau and Mouffe's theory of discourse, which allows the authors to combine a spatial and a linguistic analytical perspective. The analysis emphasizes the manner in which societal perceptions of b…

Libertad de expresión y procedimiento parlamentario: ¿pueden una camiseta, un adhesivo, o una pancarta constituir un discurso parlamentario?

2014

Resumen:¿Asistir a una sesión parlamentaria luciendo sobre la ropa un mensaje político claramente legible, es una manifestación de la libertad de expresión, o una interferencia inaceptable en el desarrollo de los debates parlamentarios, susceptible de alterar el orden en la cámara? ¿Debe permitirse que un miembro del Parlamento exprese su opinión en el hemiciclo luciendo pegatinas o adhesivos, mostrando octavillas, o desplegando pancartas?La reiteración de estos comportamientos, cada vez más habituales en nuestra vida parlamentaria, viene desde hace tiempo exigiendo del Derecho Parlamentario una respuesta que sea al mismo tiempo acorde con los principios de un Estado democrático, compatible…

REHABILITATING THE POLITICIAN ON A NEGLECTED GENRE IN POLITICAL THEORIZING

2002

The relatively rare defences of politicians, responding to commonplace denounciations, form a neglected genre of political theorizing. Max Weber's famous ‘Politik als Beruf’ (1919) serves here as a point of departure for the analysis of the examples of Louis Barthou, F.C. Oliver, J.D.B. Miller and Jean-Paul Sartre. The rehabilitation signifies a conceptual change through rhetorical redescription, as suggested by Quentin Skinner.

Media and Science Policy: Who Influences Whom Regarding Complementary and Alternative Medicines Regulation

2021

This paper analyses the synergies between press and politics in the debate on the regulation of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) in Spain between 1979 and 2018. We argue that longitudinal analysis and comparison of this interaction and synergy reveal how the mainstream discourse has shifted. We use a dataset of news ( N  =  2,059), a news sample ( n  =  325) and a dataset of parliamentary records ( N  =  86). Using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, the dynamics of the interaction between the different institutions and actors involved is assessed. Specifically, the study analyses the media and parliamentary attention to CAM issues (agenda setting), how CAM is addres…

España y la UE: objetivo ideológico y proyecto político (1978-2018)

2018

Resumen:El reingreso en el contexto europeo, del que España fue expulsada tras el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, ha sido durante largo tiempo el objeto del componente ideológico y del proyecto político de la práctica totalidad de las fuerzas políticas españolas. El ingreso de España en las Comunidades Europeas, en enero de 1986, vino a suponer la realización de ese objetivo ideológico y de ese proyecto político. Desde entonces, España experimentó importantes cambios que mejoraron notablemente su estructura económica, pero también otros aspectos políticos y sociales. Estos cambios han sido descritos y analizados por la doctrina científica con todo detalle y extensión. Este trabajo, sin …
