Estrategias persuasivas en el discurso nacionalsindicalista: Y (1938-1945)

2019

El régimen franquista, para autolegitimarse y mantener el poder hasta la muerte del dictador, lleva a cabo una actividad de control y autocontrol que aspira a imponer un sistema de valores y normas inviolables. Con este objetivo, pretende intervenir, modificándolos, en los esquemas mentales y en los componentes dinámicos de la identidad de los individuos. En este proyecto de «manipulación masiva y sistemática», desempeña una función fundamental la prensa, capaz de influir en el sistema de creencias y las acciones de todos los agentes sociales. En este contexto, cobra especial importancia la identidad femenina, que la Sección Femenina pretende re-construir en las páginas de Y (1938-1945), in…

Defending either a personal or an assigned standpoint

2018

Abstract This study clarifies whether a specific type of role play supports upper secondary school students’ collaborative argumentation. Data consist of 12 dyadic face-to-face and 12 chat debates. Data analysis focused on the quality of students’ argumentation. Comparisons were made between students who defended standpoints at variance with their personal opinions on the topics, between the two study modes and topics, and by gender. When the students defended a standpoint differing from their personal opinion, the male students engaged in counterargumentation more often than the female students. When, in turn, the students defended their personal standpoint, they produced both counterargum…

Cuerpos moldeables y vidas modulables: La invención del estado holísticamente saludable como bienestar (integral)

2020

The article argues ?from the Deleuzian concepts of society of control, moulding and modulation and the Rosean theory on the economization and medicalization of life? that the expansion of the concept of health in terms of integral and subjective well-being is the effect of a socio-historical shift in the way we relate to this signifier, and therefore to our bodies and ourselves. We use this interpretative network to analyze the effects that the biopsychosocial health paradigm has had in the context of aesthetic surgery and fitness practice. As a result, we see that the expansion of the concept of health has extended the domain of medicine into the spheres of personal care and physical appea…

Farewell to Anarchy : The Myth of International Anarchy and Birth of Anarcophilia in International Relations

2018

This article scrutinizes the conceptual history of international anarchy. The argument purported here is that even though the idea of international anarchy is often seen as very central for the academic discipline of international relations, the concept is in fact not found from the forerunners or classics of the discipline. The assumption of international anarchy is commonly seen as a defining feature of a Realist school of international relations. Yet, the concept and especially its “Realist” implications are not to be found in the classics of Realism, from Thucydides, Machiavelli or Hobbes. The idea of “international anarchy” emerges quite tentatively during the First World War, in the w…

Ciudades de cine

2015

Veintinueve ciudades. Veinte países. Cinco continentes. De forma similar a como Jamal, protagonista del filme Slumdog Millionaire (Danny Boyle, 2008), observa los majestuosos rascacielos de Bombay en la portada del libro, desde lo alto, Francisco García Gómez y Gonzalo M. Pavés nos invitan a sobrevolar cerca de una treintena de urbes especialmente relevantes en la producción cinematográfica.

Informal Institutions and Democracy

2000

Informal institutions have grown in relevance for the analysis of new ‘third wave’ democracies. The research strategy receives its impetus from the debate on neo‐institutionalism theory, which offers a productive perspective for structuring the field of analysis. This article explains the distinguishing factors between formal and informal institutions. It addresses five basic types of informal institutions, examines the ways in which they function and discusses their relevance in terms of democracy theory. Each type is characterized by the way in which it enacts its respective means of political influence. The study distinguishes between forms of specific relationship (clientelism), of mate…

Prosodic Phrasing and Transitivity in Head-Final Sentence Comprehension – ERP Evidence from German Ambiguous DPs

2010

In this article, we present an ERP study investigating the neurophysiological correlates of the interplay between prosodic phrasing and case information in head-final sentence processing. We examine German DP1-DP2-V constructions, in which the second DP can either be interpreted as a possessive modifier of the first DP (one-participant reading), or as a verbal argument (two-participant reading). An N400 on the determiner of the second DP is observed when either case information or prosodic phrasing biased toward the establishment of a two-participant reading, thus reflecting local processing costs associated with the introduction of a transitive event. By contrast, when the DPs are integrat…
