Qui dit Noël dit cadeaux: critical reading of an article by Kentaro Koga (2020)
2022
While noting the significant peculiarities of the construction Qui dit Noël dit cadeau, Kentaro Koga has launched a series of research on all the infrastructures of this construction, with the aim of revealing their internal organization and identifying their possible lexical and syntactic variations. This article – « Qui dit Noël dit cadeau : modèle, variation et idées conventionnelles » – by Kentaro Koga, established from his own collection of linguistic data, studies the uses of the construction qui dit X dit Y in the French nowadays. Nevertheless, it seems that his conclusions are more or less arbitrary, which il the reason why we will re-examine this construction from other hermeneutic…
Monete in contesto dall’Acropoli di Gela : (scavi 1952–1953, 1955, 1961)
2022
This work examines the monetary finds from the Acropolis of Gela during the excavations of 1952–1953, 1955 and 1961. It is possible to reconstruct the contexts of discovery for 106 specimens, which come from the main occupation phases of the site, between the fifth and third centuries BC. By reconstructing the contexts it was possible to establish the nature of the monetary finds (single finds or hoards) and the function of the coins within each context (accidental loss or deliberate deposition). The information drawn from the contextual associations offers the opportunity to outline the structure of circulation on the site, especially in relation to the end of the fifth century BC, and als…
Contextualizing AMO explanations of knowledge sharing in MNEs: the role of organizational and national culture
2022
AbstractAbility, motivation, and opportunity (AMO) approaches have dominated studies of knowledge sharing in multinational enterprises (MNEs). We argue that there is a need to consider both the national and organizational cultural contexts. Beyond their direct influence on knowledge sharing with colleagues in other business units (BUs), national and organizational culture significantly reinforce the positive relation between individual motivation and knowledge sharing. Thus, our multi-level approach to knowledge sharing in MNEs gives rise to a contextualized AMO approach that provides a novel and more potent understanding of variations in knowledge sharing. At the individual level, our appr…
"Having a drink in a bar": An immersive approach to explore the effects of context on drink choice
2013
UT: 000315557500004; International audience; This paper aims to evaluate the effect of context on food choices. Two studies are presented to test the potential of an immersive approach to help understanding contextual influences on drink choices. To generate contextual effects, two bar-like environments based on the idea of "having a drink in a bar" were created: one with wood furniture and one with blue furniture. In both immersive bars, clips with visual and music stimuli were projected on a wall to change the overall warmth of the ambience. In the first study, five different clips were projected. Participants in the immersive bars had to choose a drink within a large range of drinks for …

Représentations de l'Autre dans l'interaction : stéréotypes, prototypes, sosies et barbares
2011
Cet article pose la question du recours par les individus aux stéréotypes, mais aussi à différentes modalités de représentation de l'Autre, dans une interaction interpersonnelle. Il insiste sur l'influence du contexte figuratif, pour tenter de comprendre les rapports d'intersubjectivité propres à chacune de ces modalités, mais aussi pour chercher à expliquer leur fonctionnement dynamique et les facteurs qui peuvent provoquer le passage d'une modalité à une autre au cours d'une rencontre. Cette réflexion permet de mettre en avant les conditions d'intersubjectivité particulières qui semblent caractériser la communication avec un Autre identifié comme " différent ", contrairement à la communic…
Repenser l'interculturel en communication. Performance culturelle et construction des identités au sein d'une association européenne.
2008
This thesis examines the way in which the multiple cultures and identities that people are likely to summon up during an encounter influence the nature of their social interactions. It draws on the epistemological heritage of symbolic interactionism, rather than that of cross-cultural psychology, thus focusing less on the impact of (national) cultural differences on the way that we communicate, than on the intersubjective process that consists in negotiating common grounds for attributing meaning, during a multicultural encounter (semiopragmatics of communication). By analysing a corpus of interactions observed between members of the European Students' Forum (AEGEE), the study underlines th…
Does communal context bring the worst in narcissists?
2014
The present experiment (N = 95) investigated the relations of narcissism with social value orientation under facade conditions of testing communal or agentic traits (or none – in a control condition). The results indicated that narcissism predicted less willingness to share resources with others and more competitive orientation in a facade communal condition compared to the remaining two conditions: control and agentic. The results confirm narcissistic disregard for communal domain and are consistent with the extended agency model of narcissism and the “success as a drawback” effect.
