Los géneros discursivos y las secuencias didácticas: el lugar de los ejemplos prototípicos en la enseñanza y aprendizaje de la escritura
2018
[EN] From a social perspective, the aim of writing teaching is for students to be able to understand and write a great diversity of discursive genres, allowing them to behave as reflexive and critical citizens in different social spheres. In the process of mastery of each genre, the mental representation of the text is key, which acts as a regulating element of writing in different phases. This article shows the difficulties of the students to appropriate a specific genre (a book review), based on the data of a classroom research with students of 3rd ESO that addresses the writing of reviews through a didactic sequence including, as a regulatory element, prototypical examples of the genre. …

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 …
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…
“How Did Child of Light Save Me?” Engagement with a Children’s Multimodal Game Narrative as Adult Play and Self-Therapy
2021
This chapter investigates the online reception of the Canadian video game Child of Light (Ubisoft, Child of Light. Montreal: Ubisoft Studios. Video Game, 2014) as a space of encounter between imaginary childhoods and experienced adulthoods. Child of Light is a well-selling video game involving a conventional fairy-tale narrative about a young princess Aurora battling against darkness with a party of companions. The game contains narrative elements typical of children’s stories but has been popular among adult players. The focus of this chapter is on a specific case study: an adult male professional game reviewer and his publicly shared online life narrative, in which he discusses his real-l…
Claiming the sea: Bronze Age fortified sites of the north-eastern Adriatic Sea (Cres and Lošinj islands, Croatia)
2017
ABSTRACTMore than 1,000 Bronze and Iron Age hillforts can be listed for the eastern Adriatic region. These constructions left a mark on the landscape which is still perceptible today. In some cases, such as the island of Losinj, this density is challenging to explain: almost thirty hillfort (or simply hilltop) sites were recorded on a rugged island with an area of 74km2. Different factors potentially involved in the formation of this settlement pattern are discussed (territorial control, surveillance, control of maritime networks), only to show that without considering some kind of symbolic display a plausible explanatory model cannot be devised. A new reading of the coastal seascape is pro…

2021
[EN] The development of the writing expression competence, and in particular, the argumentative competence has awoken interest among the different educational levels.

Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to learn more about the examples of didactic sequences to teach how to write essays/mini-essays in textbooks of third and fourth year of Secondary Education. The methodology applied is the analysis of the qualitative content and the gathering of information fro…
Los procesos de derivación locucional en el continuum discursivo de la literatua medieval de castigos
2016
Las características formales y estilísticas del género sapiencial se antojan fundamentales para el estudio histórico de la fraseología. Por su brevedad y concisión, por su capacidad de adaptarse lingu?ísticamente a tradiciones literarias que nacen y se desarrollan en contextos culturales muy diversos, las colecciones de sentencias medievales que tuvieron su eclosión en el siglo XIII y que llegaron hasta el siglo XV como consecuencia de un continuum discursivo, se caracterizaron por manifestar un uso locucional bastante nutrido. Esta investigación tiene como principal objetivo caracterizar todas las locuciones prepositivas cuyo núcleo se vio sometido a un proceso de derivación léxica, lo cua…
Constructing the Moral Order of a Relationship in Couples Therapy
2016
Although couples therapy is rightly seen as one modality of the psychotherapies, many salient aspects of the process are not revealed by psychological theory. These have to do with how, in therapeutic conversations, the couple relationship is presented and performed as a social institution with a particular social and moral order. The moral order of a relationship includes more or less articulated and shared understandings of what is valued and what is not, what are the loyalties, duties, and responsibilities expected from the partners, and the grounds for evaluating actions. It also includes expectations concerning how value, concern, and respect are communicated. In this case study, based…
Conflict as it happens

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to this by looking at the role of nonverbal affective elements in conversations.Design/methodology/approachBringing together organizational “becoming” and embodiment approaches, the study focused on a conflict which emerged during a multi-actor consulting conversation. The episode in question was analyzed via a detailed, micro-level discursive method which focused specifically on the participants’ use of prosodic and nonverbal behaviors.FindingsChanges in prosody were found to have an important role in how t…
