We are the people and you are fake news: a social identity approach to populist citizens’ false consensus and hostile media perceptions
2018
This study aims to investigate the relationships between citizens’ populist attitudes, perceptions of public opinion, and perceptions of mainstream news media. Relying on social identity theory as an explanatory framework, this article argues that populist citizens assume that public opinion is congruent with their own opinion and that mainstream media reporting is hostile toward their own views. To date, only anecdotal evidence suggests that both assumptions are true. The relationships are investigated in a cross-sectional survey with samples drawn from four Western European countries ( N = 3,354). Multigroup regression analysis supports our hypotheses: False consensus and hostile media p…
Dead but not buried: Hannah Dunstan and the creation of a North-American community of memory
2019
Apresada por un grupo de indios abenakis, el 15 de marzo de 1697, Hannah Dustan presenció el asesinato de su bebé a manos de sus captores y sufrió todo tipo de torturas físicas y psicológicas. Ante el temor a padecer mayores tormentos a su llegada al campamento al que eran conducidos, la mujer asesinó a sus captores y les arrancó las cabelleras. Considerada por muchos como “madre de la historia norteamericana”, Dustan ha sido incluso tildada por otros de asesina de indios. Las múltiples versiones de su experiencia evidencian cómo los mitos nacionales femeninos y sus víctimas nativas se pusieron al servicio de una retórica política que justificó la colonización y el expansionismo norteameric…
Approximators and mitigators in Chilean Spanish: the case of 'como' and 'como que'
2019
espanolEn el presente trabajo se realiza un analisis del uso de los aproximadores como y como que en el espanol de Chile y la vinculacion de su valor semantico aproximador con la atenuacion pragmatica. Diversos son los trabajos que han otorgado al marcador como un valor aproximativo (Mihatsch, 2009, 2010; Jorgensen y Stenstrom 2009; Jorgensen, 2011; Holmvik, 2011; Kornfeld, 2013; Kern, 2014; Jimenez y Flores-Ferran, 2018) y tambien un valor atenuador (Briz, 1998; Jorgensen, 2011; Holmvik, 2011; Kornfeld, 2013, Panussis, 2016; Mondaca, 2017; Panussis y San Martin, 2017). Asi, el objetivo es analizar la relacion que existe entre la aproximacion semantica y la atenuacion pragmatica por medio d…

Public note-taking on a digital platform as a workplace practice
2023
Unlike traditional note-taking with pen and paper, in which the note-taking process is only partially accessible to the co-participants, note-taking in the digitalized workplace may be done publicly, so that both the content of notes and the process of writing them are observable to the co-participants. Using multimodally oriented conversation analysis, this study focused on public note-taking in interaction sequences where the facilitator of a workplace project records the results of a workshop discussion on a digital platform. The analysis revealed that while the facilitator was entitled to decide which portions of talk are recorded, the affordances of digital technology, its publicness …
«Sabiats que us diray en riman». Prime considerazioni sul rapporto tra forma, comunicazione e pubblico nella Lògica del Gatzell di Ramon Llull
2022
La Lògica del Gatzell, primo esempio della produzione in volgare di Ramon Llull, è un compendio in versi basato sull’opera di al-Ghazali Maqasid al-falasifah e sul Tractatus di Pietro Ispano, cui il Beato aggiunse alcuni elementi del suo personale sistema di pensiero. Insieme alla versione latina, il Compendium logicae Algazelis, evidenzia l’intenzione di Llull di promuovere lo studio dei principi fondamentali della filosofia proponendo due diversi sussidi didattici, ciascuno pensato per un determinato genere di pubblico. Il compendio rimato era indirizzato a coloro che non conoscevano il latino e per questo l’autore ricorse a una forma letteraria e a una strategia comunicativa tipiche dell…
Tejuelo. Didáctica de la lengua y la literatura. Educación
2022
Si bien históricamente en España se ha dado una persistente tendencia hacia las prácticas escolares basadas en la instrucción gramatical explícita, desde el siglo XIX, pedagogos, gramáticos y maestros (a través de la prensa, en las conferencias pedagógicas, en sus manuales...), entre otros, destacan los beneficios de una enseñanza orientada a promover la reflexión sobre las formas lingüísticas. La mayoría de estos autores se inscribe en una línea que acepta la gramática no como un a priori que permite el dominio correcto de la lengua sino como una herramienta de análisis y reflexión a partir del trabajo con la lengua oral y escrita. En este trabajo nos aproximamos a esa corriente, a partir …
Embodied and affective negotiation over spatial and epistemic group territories among school-children : (Re)producing moral orders in open learning e…
2022
This study investigates how schoolchildren organise their spatial and epistemic ‘territories’ among peer groups to constitute local social and moral orders in open learning environments. Open learning environments, the result of recent school reforms in Finland, challenge the conventional organisation of traditional classrooms. We use a microanalysis of naturally occurring video-recorded interactions to show the interactional dynamics of how children produce epistemic and spatial territories by creating moment-by-moment unfolding participation frameworks and emotional alliances. We suggest that the lack of institutional structures in open learning environments withholds children from the te…
Rewilding Language Education: Emergent Assemblages and Entangled Actions
2021
Integrating concepts and techniques from ethnomethodology and sociomaterialism, this article investigates the observable material processes involving human action and place‐based contexts of language use enabled by locative media. The focal pedagogical intervention utilized mobile augmented reality (AR) activities, the development of which was inspired by research on learning ‘in the wild.’ Applying the principle of reverse engineering, we introduce a pedagogical approach termed ‘rewilding’ for its emphasis on designing supportive conditions for goal‐directed interaction outside of classrooms. Three instances of AR materials use are presented from an out‐of‐class activity associated with un…
