Transformations Toward Mature Thinking: Challenges for Education and Learning
2012
In this chapter, adult cognitive development and its transformation are explored in the context of a rapidly changing postmodern world. This chapter presents and describes three models of adult cognitive development and their educational implications. The models presented are Basseches’ model of dialectical thinking, Kuhn’s model of epistemological development, and Baxter Magolda’s model of the development of self-authorship. These models are described in greater detail because they present advanced forms of adult cognitive development but also because of the challenge they pose to educational practices. These models open possibilities for understanding educational practices and learning es…
La calidad periodística mediante el análisis del discurso de los profesionales de la información
2015
La investigación indaga las opiniones de los periodistas sobre la influencia de los cambios en el campo periodístico en las últimas décadas, es decir, qué opinan los periodistas sobre lo que permanece, lo que ha desaparecido y aquello que es nuevo. La base teórica se fundamenta en la teoría del campo y del habitus de Pierre Bourdieu y en el análisis de la estructura comunicativa desde las perspectivas económica, sociológica, históricopolítica y tecnológica. Se han aplicado una serie de métodos complementarios: análisis cualitativo de entrevistas en profundidad y análisis pragmadialéctico de los argumentos de los periodistas entorno al concepto de calidad periodística The research investigat…

El mito quinqui. Memoria y represión de las culturas juveniles en la transición postfranquista
2020
Este trabajo parte de una imagen inicial–el cuarto quinqui como habitación histórica–para plantear el estudio del fenómeno quinquillero en una dialéctica compleja entre mitología, historicidad y memoria. Me planteo confrontar el actual regreso de lo quinqui en relación con las emergencias de los supuestos quinquis históricos en el archivo de los años setenta. Se trata, sin duda, de una confrontación problemática. Mi trabajo se organiza en dos tiempos. Primero, se trata de deconstruir “el mito quinqui”, analizando sus características y razones tanto en su construcción actual, como regreso quinqui, como en su emergencia histórica. Y después se trata de pensar qué es lo que ese mito impide ver…
A Dialectical Reading of Dynamic Systems Theory : Transcending Socialized Cognition and Cognized Social Dualism in L2 Studies
2016
Dynamic systems theory (DST) has affordances to be a quintessential metatheoretical architecture for the nuancing of the time-locked mechanisms and processes of the L2 system. The received construal of DST in L2 studies presumes the emergence of structural regularities and the cognitive organization of the L2 system as simply a function of lower-level language use in social milieux. Critiquing some of the bedrock assumptions anchoring the extant reading, this article sketches a complementary dialectical construal of DST. Explicating circular causality, a nexus of causality types, and self-organizational emergence and their attendant implications for an adequate description and explanation o…
Teaching and the dialectic of recognition
2004
Abstract In this article, the processes of recognition within education are discussed. Frequently, recognition is reduced to polite behaviour or etiquette. Another narrow view of recognition is, behaviouristically speaking, to regard it as mere feedback. We claim that authentic recognition is a different matter. Receiving recognition, as Charles Taylor has put it, is ‘a vital human need’. Educational practices are in many ways associated with the processes of recognition. In this article, we develop Axel Honneth's three-level theory of struggle for recognition. Subsequently, we introduce our ideas of positive and negative circles of recognition. At the level of the community, a positive cir…
Lament for the loss of al-Andalus in two Zajal from Cútar
2012
This article edits, translates, comments and examines several aspects related with two strophic poems in Andalusian Arabic dialect. They are written in a miscellaneous volume recently found in Cútar (Málaga). Their contents speak about the hard moments lived during the last times of Muslim political power in the Iberian Peninsula. Mention is made to the copyist and the possible author of the poems.
On Thinking the Tragic with Adorno
2016
This article seeks to provide a template for understanding the tragic dimension of Theodor W. Adorno’s philosophy through a reading of his early collaborative work with Max Horkheimer, the Dialectic of Enlightenment (1944). While Adorno’s view has often been considered to be tragic, little has been done to reconstruct the tragic dimension of his thought. I argue that the view of the human condition, presented in the Dialectic of Enlightenment, is founded on metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical convictions that have structural similarities with the positions held by theorists and philosophers of tragedy and the tragic. Since traces of these tragic elements can be found throughout Adorn…
Formal Variation and Language Change in Catalan Quantifiers : the Role of Pragmatics
2020
This article studies the formal variation of the masculine singular forms of the quantifiers u/un 'one', algú/algun 'someone, some', ningú/ningun 'no-one, anyone, not one, any, none' and cada u/cada un 'everyone, each one' in contemporary Catalan. The standard uses of these forms are contrasted with dialectal uses, obtained from a thorough search in oral and written corpora. In addition, they are compared with the uses in the other Romance languages and with their historical evolution in Catalan. The whole set of data, and especially the dialectal information on the Valencian area, allow us to explain the various factors that have interacted in the variation and formal change of these quant…
