Accidents and explosions in semiotic research in Italy. Introductory notes
2022
A history of Italian semiotics has yet to be written. This issue therefore has completely different aspirations: more than a history, or even less a geography, its intended goal is that of self-analysis of, roughly speaking, the last twenty or twenty-five years. Something like this: let us stop for a moment, let us see where we have sown our seeds, and what we have reaped, what we still need to plan, and in which direction we will proceed. The essays collected here do just that: they outline the conceptual map of semiotic research in Italy, combining research themes, methods of investigation and, when they may overlap, research centres scattered throughout the country. So, Italian semiotics…
Approximate Bodies. Gender and Power in Early Modern Drama and Anatomy
2005
The early modern period was an age of anatomical exploration and revelation, with new discoveries capturing the imagination not only of scientists but also of playwrights and poets. Approximate Bodies examines the changing representation of the body in early modern drama and in the period’s anatomical and gynaecological treatises. The book traces a number of emblematic figurations of the body, which it sees as dramatized and rearticulated in the period’s texts: the eroticized, deformed body of the outsider, for example, or the effeminate body of the desiring male and the disfigured body parts of the desiring female. Drawing on the theories of Foucault, Derrida and Lacan and working through …
The Nordic difference: Job quality in Europe 1995–2010
2012
Previous empirical research has pointed out that Nordic countries are distinguished from the rest of Europe in terms of job quality. On the other hand, it has been debated whether, in the longer run, the Nordic welfare state is able to insulate workers from globalization effects. This article investigates whether Nordic countries have retained their advantageous position concerning job quality compared with other EU countries. Empirical analyses are based on the European Working Conditions Survey collected in 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010. We use data on employees in the 15 member states of the EU prior to enlargement in 2004 (n = 61,457). The results partly confirm previous findings of high j…
Diskurssintutkimus - monitieteinen ja monimenetelmäinen ala
2018
There is a growing interest towards metatheoretical examination of linguistic research. This special issue contributes to this examination from the perspective of discourse studies. The issue consists of seven articles which present methods in different areas of discourse studies. The aim of this introductory article is firstly to define the notions of discourse and method. Secondly, through the presentation of the articles of the issue, we present a variety of methods pertaining to different stages of research. In particular, methods of data collection and classification, as well as of data analysis, are presented. We conclude the article with some remarks on the future avenues of the meth…

Stylistic analysis of headlines in science journalism: A case study ofNew Scientist
2016
This article explores science journalism in the context of the media competition for readers’ attention. It offers a qualitative stylistic perspective on how popular journalism colonizes science communication. It examines a sample of 400 headlines collected over the period of 15 months from the ranking of five ‘most-read’ articles on the website of the international magazine New Scientist. Dominant lexical properties of the sample are first identified through frequency and keyness survey and then analysed qualitatively from the perspective of the stylistic projection of newsworthiness. The analysis illustrates various degrees of stylistic ‘hybridity’ in online popularization of scientific r…
Kanta reliģijas un ētikas universālo principu postmetafiziskā transformācija kā pavērsiens uz argumentatīva ētikas diskursa pamatošanu
2014
Kanta reliģijas un ētikas universālo principu postmetafiziskā transformācija kā pavērsiens uz argumentatīva ētikas diskursa pamatošanu Anotācija Disertācijas ietvaros veiktā pētījuma centrā ir Kanta ētikas galveno principu aktualizācija un centieni parādīt, ka šos universālos principus ir nepieciešams un iespējams iedzīvināt mūsdienīgā ētikas teorijā. Dekonstruējot Kanta ētiku, mūsdienu vācu filosofijas telpā ir radusies diskursētika, kas ietver intersubjektīvu morālas dabas problēmu risinājuma formu – racionālu argumentatīvu diskursu kā noteiktu normu pamatojuma procedūru. Pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt argumentatīva ētikas diskursa pamatojuma problemātiku uz postmetafiziskās domāšanas paradi…
Verbal and visual representations in task redesign: how different viewpoints enter into information systems design discussions
2005
We explore an important phase of information systems design (ISD), namely task redesign, and especially how different viewpoints enter into the dis- cussions. We study how one particular visual representation, a process diagram, is interpreted and how alternative, even competing, representations are produced verbally. To tie the visual and verbal representations and the representational prac- tices to wider social practices, we develop and use the Extended Three-dimen- sional Model of discourse. Visual representations emerged as focal in bringing in the different viewpoints and as reference points for discussions. Our model pro- vided a focused and powerful means to unveil for the outside r…
Exploring Collaborative Modeling as Teaching Method
2012
Group Model Building (GMB) often refers to collaborative system dynamics (SD) modeling. Despite its impressive success in various interdisciplinary domains, SD still struggles to be adopted as a mainstream method in the very areas where it has proven its worth. SD is hard to learn, and acquiring modeling skills can take long time. SD is mostly taught in modeling courses with examples from various disciplines, in a non-collaborative way. Learning SD modeling as a "byproduct" in courses (like ICT, security, industrial management) and in collaborative way would seem at the outset a losing proposition. Experiences with an approach using a project-oriented approach adapting ideas and exercises f…
