Utebarnehager – et sted for demokratisk praksis?
2013
The questions in the title is posed to discuss how an outdoor kindergarten space is contextualized and understood by those who are staying there. Nature is often seen as an especially open space, free from strong guidelines and structures. Being part of an educational practice gives the place new structures. The activities the children participate in and the employees expressed attitudes and practices are part of different discourses, which give certain limits or possibilities for what is going on at the Hut, and thus influence a democratic practice. Especially children’s play activities represent an opposition to the adult’s framing of the place. Democracy presupposes some frames, but if t…
La formació del plural i la situació del gènere en el «Curial e Güelfa» dins del context del segle XV
2007
We study the situation of plurals in the «Curial e Güelfa» and, by extension, in the Catalan of the 15th century, analyzing particularly the possible subordinating factors of the distribution of plurals -es and -os of masculine words that finish in -s. The situation of plurals helps to confirm the dating of the novel in the middle of the 15th century. On the other hand, in the section of inflection of gender, the presence of forms that confirm the classicism of the novel is evident, as well as some Valencian preferences.
Una poética de las ruinas. Testimonio y alegoría de Aníbal Quijada
2009
El texto de Aníbal Quijada Cerco de púas ejemplifica la doble vinculación de los testimonios del exilio chileno. Por una parte, éstos debieron inscribirse en las estrategias internacionales de denuncia contra la dictadura militar y, por otra, la comunidad cultural latinoamericana hizo de los testimonios un elemento esencial para la redefinición del concepto mismo de lo literario. El testimonio de Quijada desarrolla, en ese contexto, unas estrategias narrativas y de representación que alejan su textura de la mayoría de los testimonios de la época.The text of Aníbal Quijada Cerco de púas, is a good example of the double filiation of the testimonies of Chilean exile. In one hand these testimon…
What can the discursive construction of stance and engagement voices in traveler forums and tourism promotional websites bring to a cultural, cross-g…
2016
This paper suggests that interpersonality as a framework for analysis is always necessarily conditioned by contextual variables. Genre and discipline, together with language and culture, challenge the initial model of metadiscourse (Vande Kopple, 1985; Crismore et al., 1993) as well as other approaches to interpersonal metadiscourse (Hyland & Tse, 2004; Hyland, 2005) that take English and academic discourse as their main referents. A model of interpersonality should be understood as containing variables, in order to cater for more insightful and accurate analyses. It is argued that stance and engagement voices (author and reader) (White 2003; Hyland, 2008), as construed in non-academic genr…
Mucins as a New Frontier in Pulmonary Fibrosis
2019
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common idiopathic interstitial pulmonary disease with a median survival of 3–5 years after diagnosis. Recent evidence identifies mucins as key effectors in cell growth and tissue remodeling processes compatible with the processes observed in IPF. Mucins are classified in two groups depending on whether they are secreted (secreted mucins) or tethered to cell membranes (transmembrane mucins). Secreted mucins (MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B, MUC6-8 and MUC19) are released to the extracellular medium and recent evidence has shown that a promoter polymorphism in the secreted mucin MUC5B is associated with IPF risk. Otherwise, transmembrane mucins (MUC1, MUC3,…
All-Possible-Couplings Approach to Measuring Probabilistic Context.
2013
From behavioral sciences to biology to quantum mechanics, one encounters situations where (i) a system outputs several random variables in response to several inputs, (ii) for each of these responses only some of the inputs may "directly" influence them, but (iii) other inputs provide a "context" for this response by influencing its probabilistic relations to other responses. These contextual influences are very different, say, in classical kinetic theory and in the entanglement paradigm of quantum mechanics, which are traditionally interpreted as representing different forms of physical determinism. One can mathematically construct systems with other types of contextuality, whether or not …
Recursos mediáticos en la práctica educativa de E/LE en la Universidad de Relaciones Internacionales de Moscú (MGIMO)
2017
Resumen: Este trabajo está dedicado a compartir la experiencia de la práctica didáctica del uso de los recursos mediáticos en clase de E/LE. Analizamos la eficacia de tipos de materiales audiovisuales en la aplicación al proceso educativo tanto en el marco del curso general de los niveles A1-A2, B1-B2, como en el marco del español con fines específicos (B2-C1). En este trabajo exponemos las técnicas utilizadas en la MGIMO con apoyo de recursos mediáticos como uno de los mejores métodos para transmitir la lengua en un contexto real, explorando sus peculiaridades lingüísticas y extralingüísticas.Palabras clave: texto mediático, recursos audiovisuales, medios de comunicación, Español con Fines…
The Psychic Life and Creativity of the Forms of Life. Some Remarks on Wittgenstein’s Philosophy of Psychology
2015
Wittgenstein’s later philosophy addresses the subject of connection between the psychic life of the individual and social context, represented by language games which are played within a form of life. Sensations and passions are part of the psychic life of the individual; far from being hidden psychological objects of a private Cartesian, they are inseparable from their social redefinition. In fact, they become visible in the context of the game. Wittgenstein argues that there is a transformation of subjective psychic life by learning language games. The psychic life of the individual is then re-organized by learning a socially defined, characteristic behaviour pattern. However, the learnin…
Cómo conseguir mejorar el aprendizaje de palabras
2019
Muchas de las palabras que conocemos no han sido adquiridas mediante un esfuerzo explícito, sino de manera incidental. Pero se sabe relativamente poco sobre los factores que modulan el aprendizaje implícito de vocabulario. Varios experimentos recientes han mostrado que las palabras nuevas se adquieren mejor cuando se aprenden en diferentes contextos que en un mismo contexto. Estos hallazgos apoyan la idea de organizar un currículo educativo transversal que mejore la adquisición de vocabulario tanto en la lengua materna (v.g., a través de diferentes asignaturas) como en otras lenguas.
Cruising y e-citas: un nuevo contexto para los encuentros sexuales entre hombres jóvenes que tienen sexo con hombres
2015
Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es el de explorar el papel que juega, en la actualidad, la irrupción de la mediación tecnológica de la información y la comunicación en la configuración de nuevos contextos para la relación sexual. En concreto, hemos explorado una práctica determinada, el cruising, entre hombres jóvenes que tienen sexo con hombres contactado a través de las e-citas. Se ha apostado por la metodología cualitativa con la intención de recopilar los discursos sobre sexualidad, riesgos y salud que se generan y construyen entre el grupo de iguales. Según extraemos de nuestro estudio, el nuevo marco que confiere esta tecnología estaría caracterizado por (a) una mayor accesibilid…
