Inviting Participation in Organizational Change Through Ownership Talk
2010
This article takes the practitioner’s view toward and focuses on participation through talk within multiparty settings of one process consulting case. From the perspective of discursive psychology, the authors ask what happens in interaction when the consultant is working to put into practice the ideal of active client participation in organizational change. They argue that participation is established when psychological ownership of the process is displayed through talk in interaction. This happens when what the authors call “ownership talk” is used: A person is sharing his or her views, interests, and experiences related to the change process.The authors provide detailed observations and …
El cuerpo materno en la red: entre el orden de lo ?deseable? y el de lo real
2019
El estilo de vida fitness se realiza en, y a través de, un entramado subjetivo y de poder en el que circulan y se ensamblan dispositivos empresariales, terapéuticos, sanitarios y de espectacularización de los cuerpos, tendientes a inscribir la vida de la población en las tramas conflictivas de un capitalismo heterosexista, neoliberal e informacional. En dicho marco, la temporalidad, metamorfosis y plasticidad del cuerpo materno irrumpe como problema y objeto de intervención de tecnologías diversas orientadas a ajustar su tamaño, forma y devenir a los parámetros de la vida activa y saludable. En escenarios digitales, dicha tensión se materializa, por un lado, a través de dispositivos visuale…

Emotions in second language learning as seen in autobiographical narratives written by university students : a discursive study
2016
Tunteet ovat osa jokapäiväistä elämäämme, niin hyvässä, kuin pahassakin, ja ne voivat olla ihmisiä eteenpäin vievä tai toisaalta lamaannuttava voima. Tunteet rakentuvat sosiaalisessa kanssakäymisessä, mutta yksilökohtaiset kokemukset tunteiden merkityksestä ja voimakkuudesta ovat avain niiden ymmärtämiseen. Tieteellisessä tutkimuksessa tunteet on usein jätetty huomiotta, sillä niiden on perinteisesti koettu olevan joko liian haastavia tai liian merkityksettömiä tutkittavaksi. 1990-luvulta lähtien tunteiden merkitystä on kuitenkin alettu arvostaa enenevässä määrin ja yhä suurempi määrä tutkijoita on huomioinut tunteet tutkimuksissaan. Myös kielitieteissä tunteiden tärkeä rooli on alettu ymmä…
Vammaisuuden sukupuolittuneet ja sortavat diskurssit : yhteiskunnallis-diskursiivinen näkökulma vammaisuuteen
2007
Väitöstyössään Marjo-Riitta Reinikainen tutkii kriittisellä otteella tavanomaista arkista puhetta vammaisuudesta. Huomion kohteena ovat vammaisuudelle ja vammaisena olemiselle teksteissä annetut merkitykset, erityisesti näiden sukupuolittuneet sekä vammaisten sortoa ja syrjintää tuottavat ja ylläpitävät muodot. Reinikaisen tutkimissa teksteissä vammainen mies kuvataan usein oletettujen positiivisten ominaisuuksiensa, kykyjensä ja saavutustensa kautta, kun taas vammainen nainen kuvataan pikemminkin menetystensä ja puutteidensa kautta. – Kun vammaispuhetta tarkastellaan sukupuolinäkökulmasta, käsitykset vammaisuudesta ja vammaisena olemisesta näyttäytyvät selvästi sukupuolittuneina. Tosin san…
Silent say, saying effective and discourse mask
2021
In communication, every speaker must choose meticulously the aptness in the word, the gesture, the smile, the look or even the silence. The being-speaker hides and beyond protects himself behind his discursive mask which provides him with a linguistic security. While many disciplines - social psychology, psychoanalysis and philosophy – have seized the notion of the mask in their frame of reference, this concept still remains absent today in the language sciences. However, the game of masks substitution is fundamental in language activity. This game is so usual that we do not even notice it anymore, except in situations where we are explicitly asked to make an effort to adapt to the rule of …
Constructions of Nonagency in the Clients’ Initial Problem Formulations at the Outset of Psychotherapy
2019
This multiple case study investigated how clients construct nonagentic positions when formulating their problems in the beginning of their first psychotherapy session. The initial problem formulations of nine clients entering psychotherapy were analyzed with a detailed model drawing on discursive methodology, the 10 Discursive Tools model (10DT). We found ten problem formulation categories, each one distinguished by the tool from the 10DT model primarily used to construct nonagency. All clients gave several problem formulations from different categories and constructed nonagentic positions with a variety of discursive tools. When the resulting problem formulation categories were read in com…
Interdiscursive Hybridity of European Social Dialogue
2011
The European social dialogue, which is the name given to the bipartite/tripartite work of the representative social partner organizations, has evolved significantly since it was first introduced in 1985 and constitutes one of the pillars of the European Union (artt.137-139 of the Treaty establishing the European Community). The European dialogue, which is based on the principles of responsibility, solidarity and participation, is now structured within the governance of the Union and allows the social partners to make an important contribution to the definition of European social standards (COM(2002)341 final; COM(2004)557 final). However, the system of social partnership and independent soc…
Poids culturel du discours numérique de la bière en allemand Pour une approche par la sémantique discursive
2019
International audience; La présente contribution vise à développer la méthodologie de la sémantique discursive en convoquant la sémantique des cadres pour l’analyse du discours sensoriel. Seront, dans un premier temps, discutés les deux notions de discours et de sensoriel pour partir d’une définition stabilisée et opérationnalisable. Les cadres sémantiques sont ensuite employés pour l’analyse d’un corpus numérique original en langue allemande de publications d’Instagram générées à partir de hashtags portant sur la bière. Il sera alors démontré en quoi la culture influence la construction du sens du texte de la publication.
One Rule to Rule Them All? Organisational Sensemaking of Corporate Responsibility
2015
Corporate responsibility (CR) has often been criticised as a decoupled organisational phenomenon: a publicly espoused rule that is not followed in daily organisational practices. We argue that a crucial reason for this criticism arises from the dominant in-house assumption of CR literature, which mitigates tensions and contradictions in organisational life by claiming that integrated rules result in coupled practices. We aim to provide new insights by problematising this in-house assumption and by examining how members of two organisations discursively make sense of CR, as a daily rule-bound practice, via three strategies: integration, differentiation and fragmentation. We elaborate the con…
