Electoral Debates. The Last Stronghold Against Mediatization? A Case Study of the 2015 Spanish General Elections
2018
26 Páginas La mediatización de la política alcanza su máxima expresión con motivo de las campañas electorales, en las que los actores políticos se afanan por lanzar sus mensajes persuasivos al espacio público, con el fin de acceder y, en última instancia, convencer al electorado. Este artículo se propone analizar el discurso político en los debates electorales televisados durante la campaña de las elecciones generales españolas de diciembre de 2015. El objetivo del análisis es observar qué temas destacaron en las intervenciones de los actores políticos y determinar si la mediatización afecta el contenido de los debates electorales, o si, por el contrario, estos espacios se mantienen como fo…
Oligarchies and Client Systems in Rural communities in the South of the Crown of Aragón (13th to 15th Centuries)
2010
Studies of late medieval Hispanic client systems generally focus on networks of noble power, to the exclusion of the peasantry. This is doubtless in part because the peasantry has traditionally been considered to represent a largely homogenous social group defined in opposition to the feudal nobility, whose members defended common interests. However, the last few years have witnessed a profusion of studies into the rural, or peasant, elites of Western Europe during the late medieval and modern periods, and these highlight not only significant disparities between the economic status of those and that of the remainder of the peasantry, but also their employment of specific power-mechanisms in…
Cardiovascular Health in Migrants. Current status and issues for prevention. A Collaborative Multidisciplinary Task Force Report
2014
OBJECTIVES: To review information on cardiovascular health and migration, to stress the attention of researchers that much needs to be done in the collection of sound data in Italy and to allow policy makers identifying this issue as an important public health concern.

METHODS: A consensus statement was developed by approaching relevant Italian national scientific societies involved in cardiovascular prevention. Task force members were identified by the president and/or the boards of eac…
La eclosión de la prensa satírica en España (1868-1874)
2018
espanolEl nacimiento y consolidacion de la prensa satirica en el periodo revolucionario de 1868-1874, constituye el tema central de este trabajo. Convertidos en instrumento de propaganda por los liberales desde 1808, los periodicos satiricos pronto demostraron su capacidad de influencia sobre un pueblo que, si no podia leer, al menos podia escuchar recitados sus textos o ver sus dibujos comicos. A traves de estos periodicos se desarrollo una intensa y eficaz via de politizacion que culmina en la situacion revolucionaria de 1868-1874 con la proliferacion de cabeceras y la emergencia de sendas culturas politicas: una revolucionaria democratica, otra contrarrevolucionaria carlista.

A Functional Analysis of the Finnish 2012 Presidential Elections
2016
This study applied the functional theory of political campaign discourse, developed for political campaigns in the United States to two televised presidential debates in the 2012 presidential elections in Finland. Acclaims were the most preferred statement by the candidates, with agreements being the least preferred. Policy was discussed more than character during the debates. General goals and ideals were used more frequently to acclaim than to attack. Results are generally consistent with the results of previous studies of presidential elections in the US and other countries. However, differences did emerge: the classical functional categories were supplemented by a new category, the role…
FEASTING WITH THE OUTLANDER
2015
While tv programs tend to acclaim cooks, by testing their ability in showcookings, challenging their skills on special talent shows and even by inviting them as opinion leaders commenting on the current affairs, cinema still prefers celebrating conviviality. Showing people having a meal together around the table involves celebrating eating as a basic transformative act, more or less orchestrated by a cook who contributes to create actual experiences by means of his services. Through them, he reconstitutes the existence of individuals, of communities or even of entire countries. This means that, in principle, the mission of the cooks on most movies operates on a level at the same time broade…
Scales of participation and multi-scalar citizenship in EU participatory governance
2020
The EU still has a democratic deficit and its legitimacy is strongly questioned. This reveals the importance of citizenship and participation in the context of the challenges the EU faces today. The article contributes to the current discussions on the shifting frameworks of participation and citizenship through empirical research into the EU’s participatory governance. It asks how participation is framed in terms of scale and how these scalar framings are used to formulate citizenship in selected projects funded by the EU programmes on citizenship and culture. This microlevel analysis yields new insights into the politics of scale in the EU’s multilevel participatory governance. Frame anal…
The need of political governance: The political sphere as main thrust and guarantor on Walzer’s theory
2014
Tomando como pretexto la teoría política de Walzer, el presente artículo pretende mostrar la necesidad de política en los tiempos y sociedades actuales. A pesar de lo depauperada y defenestrada que ésta pudiera parecer, sigue siendo necesario articular su papel en nuestras sociedades y mostrar su rol clave para librarnos de problemas tan omnipresentes como puede ser la corrupción en nuestros días. Para ello trataremos de indagar en cuál es el papel de la política y cómo es su relación con la sociedad civil y otras esferas de actuación, poniendo en valor su necesidad. Using as a pretext Walzer’s political theory, this article aims to show the need for politics in our times and contemporary s…
Good Patriot : The Concept of Citizenship in the Russian State Programs of Patriotic Education in the years 2001–2020
2021
2000-luvulla Venäjän poliittista kenttää on luonnehtinut valtiojohtoinen patrioottinen toimintaideologia, jonka keskeisenä ajatuksena on ollut tehdä Venäjästä jälleen suurvalta. Ideologian konkreettinen ilmenemismuoto ovat ohjelmat, joissa hahmoteltu koulutusjärjestelmä pyrkii kouluttamaan kansalaiset uudelleen patriootteina ja vieraannuttamaan heidät 1990-luvun demokratian periaatteista. Jotta ohjelmissa esitetyt politiikkatoimet nähtäisiin legitiimeinä, kansalaiset täytyy saada kannattamaan niissä ehdotettua patrioottista kasvatusta. Tähän pyritään määrittelemällä kansalaisuus valtion ja yksilön välisenä suhteena uudelleen. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan tämän uudelleenmäärittelyn ilmen…
