El matrimonio entre el cine y la filosofía: Apuntes sobre la metafilosofía de Stanley Cavell
2019
En este trabajo expondremos brevemente algunas características fundamentales de la concepción de la filosofía defendida por Stanley Cavell, con especial atención a su reivindicación del cine como agente filosófico de pleno derecho. Nuestra intención es presentar las claves del planteamiento metafilosófico de Cavell, con el objetivo de desarrollar posteriormente su concepción del arte cinematográfico como un tipo de praxis filosófica particular, fundada en la tesis de que el cine puede concebirse como un “medio de pensamiento” adecuado para afrontar sendos problemas filosóficos.
What can gender tell us about the pre-retirement experiences of elite distance runners in Finland?: A thematic narrative analysis

Percepción de una comunidad educativa sobre el desarrollo profesional docente en la educación 2.0
2019
This article reflects on teachers’ professional development in an increasingly technological and informational society. We underline the need for digital literacy in the context of education 2.0 and highlight the challenges that teachers face in transforming new information and communication technologies (NICTs) into learning and knowledge technologies (LKTs) to enhance their professional development. This research has been conducted in a grouped rural school, constituted as a learning community (CA). It consists of two centers whose main difference rests on their use of NICTs: either advanced or preliminary. We have applied the communicative-critical methodology, starting with a case study…
Phenomenology and Semiotics. Crossing Perspectives.
2015
In recent years the study of relationships between semiotics and phenomenology seems to be entering a period of renewed vitality and creativity (CADIOT & VISETTI 2001; ROSENTHAL & VISETTI 2008; 2010; PIOTROWSKI 2009; FONTANILLE 2008; BONDÌ 2012). For a variety of theoretical and historical reasons, there has been a constant osmosis between phenomenological and semiotic methods. In short, on one side, the works and investigations of phenomenologists have provided essential tools to semiotics. To give just an example: the greimasian semiotics theory refers to the process of meaning formation in terms of perceptual apprehension thanks to his original recovery of Merleau-Ponty’s percept…
What is Educational Praxis?
2020
This chapter explores the question “What is educational praxis?” based on a review of theoretical and empirical research undertaken by the Pedagogy, Education and Praxis (PEP) international research network over the past decade. A book series produced by the network in 2008 explored this very question in relation to a range of educational sites and national contexts. Six key themes emerging from this work were outlined in the first of the books in the series, Enabling Praxis: Challenges for Education. In short, the themes concerned agents and agency; particularity; connectedness; history; morality and justice; and praxis as doing (Kemmis and Smith in Enabling praxis: challenges for educatio…
Ecologies of Practice
2018
Through current research evidence, anecdotal experiences portrayed in the research to praxis sections and country-specific images of practice, we hope the chapters of this book have highlighted the tremendous potential and power of the adolescent developmental period. Education systems, schools and teachers all play important roles in how the schooling experience of adolescents unfolds. Since such a significant portion of their sense of self develops through their interactions and explorations with people and ideas at school, we can no longer leave to chance what happens during the middle years of learning. Bringing the science and research of adolescence and adolescent schooling to life th…
Digital Infrastructure Enabling Platforms for Health Information and Education in the Global South
2020
This chapter aims at documenting how digital divide determinants are affecting the ability of digital infrastructure to be used as a platform for health information and education in Sub-Saharan Africa. More specifically, the chapter draws from case studies in Madagascar, Niger, Cote d’Ivoire, Senegal, and Tanzania, and we showcase the best praxis on how digital technologies are used to improve learning and health information usage. Some tested experiments have been successful but rarely scaled up, depriving part of the population—the poorest and those living in rural areas who “consume” few public resources—from opportunities to access improved education and health services. Along with the …
Potentials of Togetherness: Beyond Individualism and Community in Nordic Art Education
2013
Historically, art education has focused mainly on individual learning processes. In Nordic countries,' for example, discourses of training the rational individual through skills of objective representation, developing the authentic individual through child-centered education, or stimulating identity-processes through critical pedagogy have dominated over ideas of collectivity, community, and society (llleris, 2002; Kjosavik, 2001; Lindstrom, 2009; Pedersen, 1998; Pohjakallio, 1998). Today, poststructuralist theories of subjectivity and subjectivation are challenging these modernist discourses by proposing more dynamic models of multiple and instable learning selves, always in the making (e.…

Complejidad social y calidad informativa: hacia un periodismo "glocal"
2013
In the so-called information (and knowledge) society, quality information is, more than ever, an indispensable and inalienable public good for any citizen who wants to exercise his or her civic and political rights. Because of this, we need to have reliable (rigorous and autonomous) communication media, which disseminate relevant and quality information. But journalism does not only depend on structural questions, but also on the conditions and limits (such as simplification, for instance) that mark professional praxis, either of the political or the socioeconomic type. Social complexity requires a treatment of information that might explain reality, which implies taking advantage of the sc…
