Europe and refugees : 1938 and 2015-16
2018
Ahonen attempts to provide some historical contextualization for the refugee crisis that has dominated much of European public and political debate since 2015. He draws comparisons between the crisis-ridden present and the decade of the previous century that was particularly laden with anticipation of disaster and doom: the 1930s. More specifically, his article explores parallels in public discussions of refugees by European political leaders and media commentators in 1938, on the one hand, and 2015–16, on the other. The coverage of 1938 focuses on the Evian Conference, organized to discuss the problem of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, while the analysis of 2015–16 concerns the period f…
From the Museum to the site and backwards
2021
Digital archaeological reconstructions usually at documenting the original position of blocks and architectural elements of the building, both the ones on site and those exhibited in museums. Digital survey and representation provide the opportunity to place the fragments into the reconstruction model of the building, thus making the understanding of their shape and function much easier. A relevant difference between past and present reconstructions is the representation of the context and the landscape. The context is a relevant feature of watercolor ‘Restorations’ of the Grand Tour; on the other hand, in digital reconstructions the landscape is often neglected or reduced to a ‘background’…
La propuesta sobre educación de la comisión para el estudio de los problemas españoles (1945)
2019
En este artículo se analiza y transcribe el texto redactado por un grupo de destacados profesores y pedagogos españoles exiliados, con especial atención a su contextualización. El grupo integraba la ponencia sobre educación de la Comisión de estudio de los problemas españoles, impulsada por la Unión de Profesores Españoles en el Extranjero. El documento final fue publicado en 1945 en la ciudad de México D.F.: en los Talleres tipográficos de B. Costa Amic, y ocupa 23 páginas. Se trata de un auténtico programa de actuación a llevar a cabo tras la restauración de la República en España, que en esas fechas tras finalizar la guerra en Europa, se pensaba cercana. A group of Spanish leading teache…
Unwilling Vows and Judicial Strategies: Sister Anna Maddalena Valdina
2018
In 1640 Anna, daughter of the prince of Valdina, was put into a convent in Palermo along with three sisters. She was seven years old and would remain there until 1699. She first asked her father and then her brother to leave the monastic state to which she was forced for patrimonial reasons and to which she never resigned herself. Her story is inscribed within the phenomenon of the so-called forced monacations, to which the Council of Trent had tried to remedy. On the death of her brother, in 1693, Anna, about sixty years old, asked the archbishop of Palermo to grant the nullity of her religious profession and her return to the lay state. Thus began a very severe judicial dispute that trigg…
Representaciones y prácticas docentes en torno a la dictadura de Franco
2021
En este artículo llevamos a cabo un estudio de caso centrado en 5 docentes españoles en relación con el tratamiento educativo que llevan a cabo de la dictadura franquista. Se parte de una contextualización general acerca del periodo histórico de la dictadura de Franco (1936-39 y 1975-78), tema social y políticamente candente que tiene su correlato a nivel educativo al estar presente en el currículo de la educación secundaria y bachillerato. Esta investigación pone el foco en el profesorado, que traduce en el contexto del aula una serie de ideas y representaciones sobre la dictadura, algo que está condicionado por su nivel formativo, el contexto sociopolítico actual y la concreción curricula…
Aligning Inner Peripheries with rural development in Italy: Territorial evidence to support policy contextualization
2021
Abstract Inner Peripheries is a recent concept based on both peripherality and marginality features, thus far from the commonly adopted geographical notion of periphery. Inner Peripheries are fragile territories covering rural Europe, which suffer from depopulation, low economic potential, and weak territorial cohesion. However, these territories are extremely important for the provision of goods and services, and the stewardship of natural and semi-natural environments. Such dichotomous condition poses several challenges for planning in the EU context, particularly regarding the implementation of the Rural Development Policy. Therefore, current planning needs to contextualize the policy im…
Conducting a task while reconstructing its meaning
2022
This article investigates the way an institutional task of a meeting is oriented to by different meeting participants and developed in and through local interaction. Our data come from a city organization, where a large organizational change is planned and prepared through a series of face-to-face encounters and accompanying written texts. Using the notion of recontextualization and by connecting it to the conversation analytical method and to the notion of intersubjectivity, the study examines how the institutional task that is verbalized in written form prior to the meeting is conceptualized by meeting participants in their turns of talk. By doing so, the study will particularly shed ligh…
Changing the ownership of ideas: Multimedial accomplishment of collaborative reflection in an organizational workshop
2022
Reflecting on work processes together with one's co-workers is becoming increasingly important in workplaces. This study examined collaborative reflection in the organizational context through analyzing a case of a complex workplace setting where an enterprise social media platform, talk-in-interaction, and handwriting were used to engage participants in the process of reflection. Drawing on the concept of remediation, the results show that collaborative reflection is interactionally accomplished through a multimedial activity chain, in which the ownership of presented ideas is transformed from individual ideas into shared views of the team. The study shows in detail how the process of coll…
What is meant by hybridity? An investigation of hybridity and related terms in genre studies
2014
AbstractThis article is an investigation and a discussion of hybridity and related terms as used in linguistic studies of genre. The theoretical points that are made are illustrated with data from empirical research done by others and with the authors’ own data. The focus is on written texts but hybridity in spoken interaction is also discussed. The article defines the notion of genre and discusses (proto)typicality in relation to genre and hybridity. Recontextualization is also discussed. This is followed by a discussion of terms that have been used to talk about the processes of hybridity, firstly, as used in research that has mainly been done on spoken interaction. The focus then turns t…
PASSIONATE DESCARTES: A REINTERPRETATION OF THE BODY'S ROLE IN CARTESIAN THOUGHT
2020
Abstract The usual reading of Descartes' “anthropological” perspective classifies it as a radical dualism with a distinction between two substances, mind and body, which experience major interaction difficulties. Through a contextualization of Descartes' physiological and psychological thought as well as through a less fragmented reading of his work, we intend to review this traditional interpretation, thereby showing its distorted character. When we pay attention to passion, a new Descartes’ image as a sort of phenomenal monism appears, which is markedly different from the legendary image typically associated with him, even today.
