“Sealfie”, “Phoque you” and “Animism”: The Canadian Inuit Answer to the United-States Anti-sealing Activism
2018
A corpus made by online Canadian newspaper articles, coming from the archives of CBC News, Vice Canada and Huffington Post Canada, and related multimedia contents such us audio interviews, videos and especially links to images and comments shared on Twitter, allows us to reconstruct the debate on the seal hunt that involved Canadian media in 2014. In specific, we propose an interpretation of the pro-sealing discourse by Canadian Inuit and Newfoundlanders as an ironic and incisive answer to the serious United States animal rights activists discourse, explaining how these two different points of view on animals come from a different experience of the environment and a different conception of …
Building teacher identity through the process of positioning
2016
This study explores teacher identity work in the context of a one-year programme, Pedagogical Studies for Adult Educators. The data consist of weekly learning diaries written by Anna, a university teacher, during one academic year. The diaries are analysed by means of dialogically oriented narrative analysis leaning on Bakhtinian notions of voicing and ventriloquation. The results show how Anna positions her storytelling and narrated self in relation to relevant characters by voicing and evaluating these characters. The construct of positioning provides tools for understanding the relationship between the self and others in teacher identity. peerReviewed

Leadership and church identity
2018
This article discusses how the theological-spiritual dimension, which has to do with the specific identity of the church, has implications for and partly determines the application of leadership theories and tools in the local church. The article also examines how leadership research can provide the means to realize a church’s theological or spiritual identity or its true nature. This implies a two-directional relationship between theology and leadership. On the one hand, theology should influence how churches are led, and on the other hand, leadership may facilitate the realization of the theological-spiritual dimension.
 There are a number of important articles on the theology of lea…
Examining the role of religion in a family setting: religious attitudes and quality of life among parents and their adolescent children
2016
The study examined the role of religion in a family setting by evaluating relationships between religious attitudes and quality of life among parents and their adolescent children. Previous research suggested that religious beliefs and behavior play an important role in shaping family relations and their members’ well-being. The group of 465 parents and adolescents completed four scales measuring religiousness, quality of life, and satisfaction with life. Results using correlational analyses and cluster comparisons showed that religiousness had a significant effect on both subjective quality of life dimensions and satisfaction with life among parents and adolescents. Individuals characteriz…
Prácticas culturales y espacios públicos como lugares de interacción social y política. Un análisis de activismo y de crítica festiva en Barcelona y …
2021
espanolEl desarrollo de las grandes ciudades se ha constituido como un fenomeno global, reduciendo las posibilidades de generar convivencia en el espacio social. La busqueda actual por conectar la escala micropolitica de estos espacios con sus habitantes reconfigura el sentido de pertenencia a la ciudad. Esta aspiracion, muchas veces, desemboca en formas activas de desobediencia social en el espacio publico o, por contraposicion, de acciones que perpetuan la reproduccion de practicas culturales conservadoras. Desde esta mirada el presente trabajo se propone analizar algunas practicas culturales que ubican la participacion en el espacio publico como protagonista. Por un lado, acciones artivi…
