Emotional politics on Facebook. An exploratory study of Podemos’ discourse during the European election campaign 2014
2015
The results of the European elections 2014 in Spain were characterized by the outstanding rise of a new party, Podemos, which obtained five seats in the European Parliament, despite being founded few months before the elections. The present study analyzes both the content and the presence of emotions in Podemos’ discourse on Facebook during the European electoral campaign. In particular, the affective content of both the party’s discourse and the comments of its followers will be analyzed through a pragmatic linguistic approach applied to a corpus of 163 posts and 215 followers’ comments. Results show an insistence on positive emotions in the party’s discourse and a prevalence of negative e…

This article is the presentation of the issue on "Sport and national identity" by Papeles del CEIC.

Despre fertilitatea erorilor. Imitație și inovație în învățământul superior, Robert D. Reisz, Editura Trei, București, 2018, 224 p.
2020
In his book, Robert Reisz approaches the challenging topic of the reproduction of the humboldtian and napoleonian models of higher education systems. It includes a thorough history of how these models appeared and a particularly interesting discussion about their diffusion across the world. Taking a neoinstitutional perspective, the author aims to describe the process of imitation (as a form of innovation) that is happening during the institutionalization of the models of universities in various historical, cultural and social settings. Apart from a specialists’ public – experts and academics – the book is addressing to a wide public, including any social actor involved or interested, eithe…
Henri Durel, Francis Bacon et l'affirmation d'une science nouvelle en Angleterre
2017
Comme l'indique le terme d'« affirmation » contenu dans le titre, cet ouvrage s'interesse a l'activite epistemologique plutot qu'a l'activite scientifique de Francis Bacon. Avec cette distinction en tete, Henri Durel cherche dans ce traite a rendre compte d'un paradoxe et a dissiper un malentendu. Le paradoxe reside dans le fait que Francis Bacon, reconnu d'abord par la Royal Society puis par la communaute scientifique au sens large comme « le pere de la science moderne », n'a jamais rien dec...
Will they, won’t they? Dream sequences and virtual consummation in the series Moonlighting
2021
The 1980s series Moonlighting was one of the first dramedies on the small screen; it took its cue from venerable genres like the screwball comedy or the hard-boiled novel (particularly The Thin Man) and translated them to television’s changing structures and aesthetics, participating in what has been termed the second Golden Age of television. However, the Nick and Norah Charles of Moonlighting, David and Maddie, were not married: on the contrary, the series was largely fuelled by the tension between the two leads, who were constantly sparring but were seemingly drawn to one another. Though this romantic tension has long been a staple of the silver screen, translating it into weekly episode…
Edward W. Said y la reflexión sobre Europa
2012
The aim of the following observations is simply to present a few suggestions derived from the study of the works of an admirable figure whose life was sadly cut short by serious illness. A non-European writer, the insights of Edward W. Said (Jerusalem, 1935—New York, 2003), provide us with an enriching testimony of diverse Eastern and the Western roots and traditions. Strictly speaking, he was forced to consider himself both Arab and Anglo-American from birth. His questioned identity and the permanent feeling of being it of place”, having lived away from his native land since childhood, caused him to feel deeply cut off from his roots and experience, a strange void in his life. This irremed…
¿Qué cultura debe reconocerse en la política multicultural?
2012
Los que se dicen liberales proponen muy diferentes soluciones a cómo pensar la gestión política de la pluralidad cultural en las sociedades contemporáneas. En este ensayo se pretende mostrar que esa diversidad de pareceres tiene, como uno de sus supuestos fundamentales, diferentes concepciones de la noción de cultura. Con tal fin, se expone críticamente la política del reconocimiento multicultural de Charles Taylor, utilizando para ello algunos aspectos de la identidad cultural según Clifford Geertz, Zygmund Bauman y Michael Ignatieff.
Veinticinco años de análisis del comportamiento deportivo de la población española (1980-2005)
2006
El estudio de los hábitos deportivos de la población española desde los inicios de la transición democrática hasta mediados de la primera década del siglo XXI, cuenta con una rigurosa base empírica de resultados, ya que en el periodo 1980-2005 se han llevado a cabo con una periodicidad quinquenal seis encuestas probabilísticas de alcance nacional con una continuidad tanto en su patrocinio, el Consejo Superior de Deportes, como en el instituto de investigación que ha realizado las encuestas, el Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas, y en la dirección de la investigación y análisis y publicación de los resultados. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis resumido y diacrónico de los resultado…
Medios de comunicación y escándalos de corrupción en España: ¿denunciantes, magnificadores, cómplices? (Media and corruption scandals in Spain: plain…
2013
Partiendo de la idea según la cual el periodismo es, en regímenes de tradición liberal democrática, un freno a la arbitrariedad de los que gobiernan y de que los medios de comunicación, y en especial la prensa escrita, han acometido la tarea de vigilancia de los casos de corrupción acaecidos en la España democrática, se indaga sobre los mecanismos que dificultan el ejercicio de un periodismo de denuncia de la corrupción política y se proponen orientaciones para acercar la ética periodística a la ética cívica propia de la democracia. | Starting from the idea that journalism is, in liberal democratic regimes tradition, a brake on the arbitrariness of those who govern and that the media, parti…
Beauty and the Cosmetic Secret
2018
Cosmetic surgery is often linked to the perception that women who resort to cosmetic interventions to alter their physical appearance are vain, superficial, and narcissistic. Few investigations have acknowledged and explored the individual’s personal motivations and experiences of her action and choice with regards to aesthetic surgery. By focusing on subjective experience, alternative insights can be gained on the cosmetic procedure(s) and on how their reshaped body influences an individual’s lifeworld experience. The article explores the perceived benefits and consequences of reshaping, enhancing, and/or reducing a perceived flaw or shortcoming of the body. From this exploration the focus…
