Analiza porównawcza wybranych frazeologizmów animalistycznych w trzech językach słowiańskich i w dwóch germańskich

2016

In the contemporary civilization, our world and that of animals merge more and more extensively, and so they are becoming increasingly dependent on each other. On the one hand, human beings - having considered themselves lords of the world - try hard to be as humane as they can towards animals, but on the other - they treat them utterly instrumentally, which is widely reflected, among others, in our languages. This particular observation has served as a basis for the present article. The article - after a concise conceptual part - presents selected fragments (about 40%) of the results of the empirical linguistic research which the author has performed in order to study qualitatively and qua…

Od redaktorów: Dylematy etyczne i ryzyko w badaniach terenowych

2016

We wprowadzeniu autorzy proponują ujęcie kwestii etycznych w kategoriach ryzyka, które towarzyszy prowadzeniu badań terenowych. Spojrzenie na badania od strony ryzyka pomaga po części uporządkować dyskurs o różnych zagrożeniach pojawiających się w toku nawiązywania interakcji badawczych, a także kieruje uwagę na powiązane sprawy identyfikowania i komunikowania ryzyka oraz podejmowania kwestii etycznych. Jedną z najważniejszych cech relacji badawczej, która utrudnia definitywne rozstrzyganie problemów etycznych, jest to, że nawiązywana jest ona w zmieniających się okolicznościach, niepowtarzalnych i zaskakujących sytuacjach, a także wobec zderzenia różnych systemów etycznych, które mogą dzie…

Consumers' attitudes toward mobile advertising : a rhetorical approach

2015

Mobile advertising adoption has not been as rapid as it could have been, even though the techniques for its full exploitation have existed for years. Understanding consumers’ attitudes toward the phenomenon is crucial in order to enhance the situation. The purpose of this research was to examine young consumers’ perceptions about mobile advertising in order to clarify what type of meanings they give to the phenomenon, what kind of argumentation means are found and in which contexts it is evaluated positive or negative. The theoretical framework of this research is based on the principals of rhetorical social psychology (Billig 1987/1996). The data of this study was gathered by using the met…

Do factors related to participation in physical activity change following restrictive bariatric surgery? A qualitative study

2018

Aims To explore participants’ ability to participate in physical activity (PA), and barriers and facilitators to PA, at 12 months following restrictive bariatric surgery, and how these differed from participants’ pre-surgery perceptions. Motivators for PA post-surgery were also explored. Methods Qualitative one-on-one in-depth interviews were conducted pre- and 12 months post-surgery. Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Results Fourteen adults (12 females), with a mean (range) age of 41.4 years (25.0–56.0), body mass index (BMI) of 31.7 kg/m2 (22.3–48.2), and excess weight loss of 66% (2–127) completed both interviews. Lack of participation in PA during the first 3–6 month…

Multiverse Ethnography: A Qualitative Method for Gaming and Technology Use Research

2021

This article introduces multiverse ethnography as a systematic team-based qualitative method for studying the mechanical, structural and experiential properties of video games and other technological artefacts. Instead of applying the ethnographic method to produce a single in-depth account, multiverse ethnography includes multiple researchers carrying out coordinated synergetic ethnographic work on the same research object, thus producing a multiverse of interpretations and perspectives. To test the method, 41 scholars carried out a multiverse ethnography on two video games, Cyberpunk 2077 and Among Us. Explorative thematic findings regarding both titles are reported and methodological imp…

A primer for choosing, designing and evaluating registered reports for qualitative methods

2023

Registered reports are a publication format that involves peer reviewing studies both before and after carrying out research procedures. Although registered reports were originally developed to combat challenges in quantitative and confirmatory study designs, today registered reports are also available for qualitative and exploratory work. This article provides a brief primer that aims to help researchers in choosing, designing, and evaluating registered reports, which are driven by qualitative methods.

Abstract Objectives To examine how gender functions in the narrative construction of dual career styles, and how these styles impact the (dis)continuation of a dual career pathway. Design Longitudinal qualitative study. Method Life story interviews with 18 talented Finnish athletes (10 cis women, 8 cis men) at four points in time – when they averaged 16, 17, 19, and 20 years of age – followed by an integrative narrative-discursive analysis. Results (a) contrapuntal style was gender-typically female; (b) monophonic style was gender-typically male; and (c) dissonant style was an important pathway to dual career discontinuation through which gender ideologies impacted the emergent adults with …

Gender Representation of Athletes in Finnish and Swedish Tabloids : A quantitative and qualitative content analysis of Athens 2004 and Turin 2006 Oly…

2016

AbstractThe study examines quantitatively and qualitatively gender representation in Finnish and Swedish tabloids’ sports coverage during Athens 2004 summer and Turin 2006 winter Olympics. Several media studies argue that sports journalism marginalises women’s sports and sexualises female athletes. The results of this study show that male athletes received more coverage than female athletes in every tabloid, but when the number of domestic participants and their level of success were considered, neither country’s tabloids quantitatively marginalised women’s sports. Qualitative analysis found that research stereotypes showing trivialisation and sexualisation of female athletes were incorrect…

'Chlorophyll ideology' and Protected Areas.The Social Discourses on the Reserve Area 'Tancat de la Pipa' in the Albufera Natural Park (Spain)

2020

Since the end of the last century, the empirical evidence that the natural limits to growth were being overstepped (García, 2004) supposed an increase in environmental awareness and led to a search for answers of different kinds. Most of these answers are part of the neoliberal politics that reconcile economic development with environmental sustainability. One of these solutions is the creation of protected areas. In this paper we analyse, firstly, the growth of protected areas in Europe and how we should perceive that growth. Then, we pay special attention to the theoretical implications of the concept of a “Natural Park”, one of the most common kinds of protected area in Spain. Subsequent…
