Policy and Governance for Sustainable Consumption at the Crossroads of Theories and Concepts
2016
This introductory article of the special issue compares different conceptual underpinnings of efforts to make the everyday activities of consumers more sustainable. As social practice theory (SPT) is the main theoretical foundation of the articles collected here, we outline its strengths and limitations, when compared with the dominant individual-oriented behaviour change approach, and we focus on theories of planned behaviour, social marketing as well as ‘choice architecture’, based on behavioural economics. This article analyses SPT's usefulness, particularly from the applied point of view for policy-makers and social change programme designers. In the final section we provide some recomm…

Diffusion of digital culture: analysis of the Internet forum of a MOOC
2017
When MOOCs are increasing all over the world as a mean for improving the diffusion of culture and science, it is interesting to observe how those MOOCS build communities of knowledge, and which is the impact of those communities on the acquisition of knowledge. In this article, we present the principles of design of the MOOC Digital & Culture Writing that aims to spread digital culture. Then, we analyse the messages posted on forums by the related community, and the cognitive process to which they refer. Posts analysis reveals reflexivity processes when participants are writing on forums. It appears that reflexivity cognitive processes are at the heart of both social interaction and digital…
How critical thinking should be at the heart of digital interactions?
2018
In this paper, we explore how to teach critical thinking in the digital age, in order to promote the autonomy of practitioners. An interaction theory is proposed to identify the constraints that structure digital creativity. This model helps to design a critical pedagogy, linking without opposing a procedural approach to a reflective approach. The article presents an implementation of this model in a writing course on a social network. The study of students' activity logs shows the presence of forms of objectivity and reflexivity, reflecting the development of critical thinking. This approach offers a way to develop critical thinking not from the outside, in an argumentation or media analys…
Facing the Normative Challenges : The Potential of Reflexive Historical Research
2016
This article explores methodological problems of qualitative research templates, that is, the Eisenhardt and the Gioia case study approaches, which are relevant for the business and society (B&S) scholarship and outlines a reflexive historical research methodology that has the potential to face these challenges. Building on Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics, we draw critical attention to qualitative B&S research and frame the methodological problems identified as the normative challenges of qualitative research, that is, to productively deal with both the researchers’ norms and the research subjects’ norms. We then introduce the reflexive historical case study (RHCS), …
Dagens Rødhette i en flerkulturell kontekst – mulighet for en ny identitet?
2013
The starting point for this article is the tendency in recent Norwegian children’s and Ya fiction to thematize cultural encounters in an increasingly multicultural and globalized world. The picturebook Little Miss Eye Flap ( Skylappjenta , 2009) written by the Pakistani-Norwegian author and actor Iram Haq and illustrated by Endre Skandfer, presents a modern version of traditional folktales such as Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel . However, the traditional structure of home – away – home gives particular emphasis to the phase of homelessness, not providing any safe return to harmony. This condition of liminal space between cultures is discussed in light of the concepts of reflexive ident…
The sociologist as cruiser: Masculinities, deviance and sexuality in gay sex work arenas
2019
This article explores the methodological and ethical issues that arise from ethnographic research in sexual practices in the study of non-normative sexualities. It explores the researcher as a subject in the research as well as doing the research. Taking a queer approach, it identifies key themes and issues that the reflexive researcher faces when in the field.
Transformative Authorship Through Critical Dialogue : Concepts, Theory, and Practice
2021
This conceptual article deals with components and concepts of transformative learning, emphasizing the organization-level perspective on critical reflection. The discussion leans on the concept of transformative authorship and it is argued that it enables authoring processes through which professionals can recognize and recreate their routinized work practices. The aim of the research is to explore how professional experiences are integrated with reflexive, theoretical knowledge through critical dialogue. The authoring process of transformative authorship is illustrated with two complementary case studies from postgraduate health care education. In both cases, the learning tasks were desig…
Ricerca com-partecipata e sperimentazione didattica in campo educativo
2022
Il saggio riflette sulla specificità della ricerca educativa e la accomnuna alla ricerca in campo sociale; ritrova infatti le connessioni nel valore politico, nelle ricadute sulla prassi, e nella prospettiva etica. In questo senso viene evidenziata la possibilità di connettere teoria, metodologia ed esperienza (e, ad un livello meta, di riflettere su tale connessione) e il fatto che questo processo si configura nei termini di una “apprendimento continuo”, sui piani individuale, di gruppo, istituzionale. Ritrovando l’origine di tale prospettiva nell’opera di Dewey (1929), viene quindi evidenziato lo stretto raccordo tra esperienza e pensiero, riflessione e pratica, presente in ogni processo …
Lo zerosei di fronte all’emergenza COVID. Esperienze, ricerche e riflessioni pedagogiche
2022
Il volume prende le mosse da un incontro on line organizzato il 28 novembre 2020 dal Gruppo SIPED Infanzia sul tema: Lo zero-sei di fronte all’emergenza COVID. In quella sede vennero proposte riflessioni particolarmente interessanti, che hanno trovato poi un approfondimento scientifico nei diversi contributi raccolti. È suddiviso in tre parti tra loro interrelate, che spaziano temporalmente dall’improvvisa chiusura totale dei servizi per l’infanzia a marzo 2020, fino alle prime esperienze di riapertura in nuovi assetti organizzativi nell’a.s. 2020-21. La situazione pandemica e le sue conseguenze pratiche, hanno generato criticità gestionali, oltre a preoccupazione e disorientamento nel pers…
