Building teacher identity through the process of positioning
2016
This study explores teacher identity work in the context of a one-year programme, Pedagogical Studies for Adult Educators. The data consist of weekly learning diaries written by Anna, a university teacher, during one academic year. The diaries are analysed by means of dialogically oriented narrative analysis leaning on Bakhtinian notions of voicing and ventriloquation. The results show how Anna positions her storytelling and narrated self in relation to relevant characters by voicing and evaluating these characters. The construct of positioning provides tools for understanding the relationship between the self and others in teacher identity. peerReviewed
Characterization of the LGBTI-speaking community discourse. An approach to Hispanic queer linguistics.
2020
Toda subcultura forma una comunidad lingüística particular en la que, aunque se comparta la lengua con el resto de la sociedad, varía el habla en ciertos aspectos. Es el caso de la comunidad de habla LGTBI, que se hace servir de un léxico peculiar, así como una fraseología característica, unas estructuras gramaticales especiales y, en definitiva, unos recursos pragmáticos muy llamativos que tienen como objetivo mitigar ciertos enunciados, intensificar otros en determinados contextos y construir actos de habla afiliativos que expresen solidaridad social. Por otro lado, cumple una función muy importante en la construcción identitaria de sus usuarios. En este trabajo se propone un análisis pra…
Identidad social y discursiva del turista: su construcción a partir de la oferta de valores abstractos
2017
Este artículo examina cómo la página web hotelera mercantiliza valores simbólicos abstractos, y de qué manera ello incide en la construcción discursiva de un actor social 'turista'. Para ello se propone un análisis cualitativo desde el marco del Análisis Crítico del Discurso, concretamente desde la vertiente socio-cultural de Fairclough (2002), que a su vez parte del sistema de transitividad de Halliday (1985). Considerar la mercantilización de los valores abstractos resulta interesante en este contexto, pues se podría pensar que los hoteles ofrecen ante todo valores de tipo concreto y material, y no abstracto. Sin embargo, la representación mental de lo placentero y deseable en el turista,…
'Climbing Untrodden Paths and Unfrequented Passes'. De-Generation in 'The Buddhist Priest's Wife' by Schreiner, 'A Cross Line' by Egerton and 'The Un…
2013
This essay aims to show how different forms of de-generation in the social construction of fin de siècle female identity prove to be intentional instruments to defy conventional 19th century femininity and generate and circulate new female discoursivities in order to integrate forms of transgression into socially accepted behaviours. As critics have long argued the New Woman -the modern woman emerging from the disruption of the Angel in the House stereotype- has to be treated as a discursive process and a multilayered subject. The analysis of Schreiner’s “The Buddhist Priest’s Wife” (1891), Egerton’s “A Cross Line” (1893), and Grand’s “The Undefinable: A Fantasia” (1894), will highlight the…
Subjectivity in Russian and American media: an interpersonal discursive perspective
2021
Esta tesis informa un análisis comparativo de la realización de la subjetividad en la campaña presidencial del 2018 en Rusia a través del metadiscurso interpersonal. La subjetividad siempre ha sido una característica intrínseca del periodismo y tradicionalmente se ha opuesto al canon de la objetividad, simultáneamente la norma más prominente y controvertida de la práctica periodística (Tuchman, 1980; Carey, 1989; Lichtenberg, 1991; Gans, 2003; Schiller, 2008; Maras, 2013). La mayoría de los investigadores coinciden en la idea de que los periodistas muestran una tendencia hacia una postura más interpretativa, por lo que la subjetividad es una parte esencial del discurso periodístico, tanto i…
Introduction: Social Media Discourse, (Dis)Identifications and Diversities
2017
The focus in this volume is on social media discourse, (dis)identifications and diversities. It demonstrates how particular ways of mobilizing verbal, discursive and other semiotic resources serve as means for identity work (Bucholtz, 2003; Blommaert, 2003), involving acts, processes and practices of (dis)identification as essential aspects of sociality in social media. It will also illustrate how such social action also increasingly engages with a range of diversities in social media. peerReviewed
Exploring identity construction in bilingual families
2017
Tämän pro gradu-tutkielman tarkoituksena on tarkastella kahden kaksikielisen perheen jäsenten identiteetin rakentumista. Vaikka kaksikielisyyttä perheissä on tutkittu laajalti, identiteetin rakentumisen näkökulmasta tutkimuksia on suhteellisen vähän. Tutkimus on luonteeltaan laadullinen ja tavoitteena oli selvittää miten perheenjäsenet kuvaavat identiteettiään ja identifioituvat kieliinsä sekä millaisia identiteettejä he rakentavat itselleen. Identiteettiin liittyen, tukielma halusi myös vastata kysymyksiin kielen käytöstä sekä tunteiden ilmaisemisesta. Tutkielma myös tarkastelee mahdollisia eroja ja yhtäläisyyksiä identiteettien välillä sukupolvien sekä sisarusten kesken. Lähtökohtana tutk…

Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan eri kieli-ideologioiden—eli arkisten kieltä ja sen puhujia koskevien uskomusten—rooleja opiskelijoiden identiteetin rakentamisessa ja neuvotteluissa kansainvälistyvän korkeakoulutuksen kontekstissa. Englanninkielisten opiskelijoiden lisääntyvän monimuotoisuuden myötä kieli-ideologioita on tutkittu mahdollisena opiskelijoiden välisen epätasa-arvon rakentajana. Analysoin kahta fokusryhmäkeskustelua, joiden osallistujat ovat erään suomalaisen yliopiston kansainvälisten englanninkielisten maisteriohjelmien opiskelijoita. Tutkin opiskelijoiden puhetta kriittisen diskursiivisen psykologian avulla tarkoituksenani ymmärtää mahdollisia yhtymäkohtia kieli-ideologioide…
Gestió universitària i estils discursius
2008
This article presents some of the results from a broader research study of management styles within the Catalan university world. Two management styles are defined (the collegial and the managerial) and a relationship is established between some of the characteristics of these styles, some discursive features and the gender of the managers. Specifically, an analysis is made of the linguistic markers pertaining to the deictic modality in the discourse that constructs the identity of the analysed individuals. The markers of the deictic modality also make it possible to identity certain characteristic traits of men and women. Methodologically speaking, it could be said that the analysis of the…
