Mesure du transport narratif dans le contexte d’une expérience de consommation transmédia
2018
This research offers a French narrative transportation scale measuring the experience of transmedia devices in the arts and cultural field. First, based on a literature review of the definition and measure of narrative transportation, a new scale is presented and defended. Second, a qualitative study is conducted. The dimensions of narrative transportation are confirmed and items are generated to measure it. Results from factorial analysis leading to a reliable and valid scale of narrative transportation lived by the cultural consumer through the use of a transmedia device are presented.

Conspiracy Theories and (the) Media (Studies)
2017
Traditionally, research on conspiracy theories (CT) is not at the heart of communication and media studies. Still there are theories, concepts and findings in this discipline which can be fruitfully linked to CT research. If one sees CT as certain forms of narratives, one important question is how they spread within societies, communities and groups. To analyse this, one can apply the concept of "diffusion of innovations", alongside theories and concepts which stem from media studies, such as agenda setting or two-step flow of communication. Moreover, research on strategic and political communication, news bias and even fake news can be linked to the study of CT.
We need more replication research – A case for test-retest reliability
2017
Following debates in psychology on the importance of replication research, we have also started to see pleas for a more prominent role for replication research in medical education. To enable replication research, it is of paramount importance to carefully study the reliability of the instruments we use. Cronbach’s alpha has been the most widely used estimator of reliability in the field of medical education, notably as some kind of quality label of test or questionnaire scores based on multiple items or of the reliability of assessment across exam stations. However, as this narrative review outlines, Cronbach’s alpha or alternative reliability statistics may complement but not replace psyc…
Relationship between endocrine disruptors and obesity with a focus on bisphenol A: a narrative review
2021
International audience; Introduction: Scientific data suggest that early exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) affect -repro, -neuro, -metabolic systems, to which are added other notions such as mixtures, window and duration of exposure, trans-generational effects, and epigenetic mechanisms. Methods: In the present narrative review, we studied the relationship between exposure to EDCs with the appearance and development of obesity. Results: Exposure to EDCs like Bisphenol A during the early stages of development has been shown to lead to weight gain and obesity. EDCs can interfere with endocrine signaling, affect adipocytes differentiation and endocrine function and disrupt meta…
The Role of Nutritional Lifestyle and Physical Activity in Multiple Sclerosis Pathogenesis and Management: A Narrative Review
2021
Studies on the role of nutritional factors and physical activity (PA) in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) go back a long time. Despite the intrinsic difficulty of studying their positive or negative role in MS, the interest of researchers on these topics increased during the last few decades, since the role of diet has been investigated with the perspective of the association with disease-modifying drugs (DMD). The association of DMD, diets, and PA might have an additive effect in modifying disease severity. Among the various diets investigated (low-carbohydrate, gluten-free, Mediterranean, low-fat, fasting-mimicking, and Western diets) only low-carbohydrate, Mediterranean, and f…
A narrative review of positive psychology interventions for women during the perinatal period
2019
Recent studies suggest that positive perinatal maternal mood can buffer the effects of negative feelings and promote women and infant well-being. Evidence from Positive Psychology has shown that Positive Psychology Interventions (PPIs) can enhance well-being and/or reduce negative symptoms. The objective of this comprehensive narrative review was to identify and critically review the current evidence about the use of PPIs designed to improve women's mental well-being during the perinatal period. A systematic search of four online databases was conducted. Two intervention programmes have been identified. Both interventions were online-based and gratitude was the common PPI. The common target…
Estratègies discursives iròniques en la narrativa catalana actual: l'autoconsciència textual
2010
A partir de textos de Jesús Moncada, Quim Monzó, Carme Riera, Ramon Solsona i Sergi Pàmies, l'article analitza l'existència en la narrativa breu catalana actual d'una tendència que es caracteritza per l'ús dels recursos de la metaficció, adaptats als interessos literaris i a l'estil de cada autor però amb una orientación general compartida. Es tracta d'una tendència de clar signe antirealista i amb plena consciència de textualitat que fa explícits els mecanismes de la ficció; una modalitat de discurs irònic que s'interroga sobre les possibilitats i els límits de representació del real i, en definitiva, sobre allò que entenem per realitat. Departing from some texts by Jesús Moncada, Quim Mon…
Quali forme di narrazione per eventi come la Shoah? Sulla tropologia di Hayden White.
2023
The critical debate resulting from the rhetorical or linguistic turn brings out within historical research a tension between narrative and documentation that, to the risk of making the boundary between history and the novel implied by the centrality of the role of narrative increasingly evanescent, counterpoints an appeal to the status of evidence, invoked by some historians, which in turn is not without its criticality. In particular, we take as a point of departure Hayden Whyte's Forms of History from Reality to Narrative, in which historiographical research is characterized with reference to the ability to follow those organizing principles peculiar to literary experiments as modes of hi…
Narrating the Unspeakable The Use of Metaphor between Hayden White and Hannah Arendt
2023
The paper addresses the question of the use of metaphors and analogies for events such as the Holocaust in the context of the discourse on the reduction of historiography to its narrative or rhetorical dimension and reflects on the philosophical implications of this reduction with respect to the question of post-truth. The critical debate resulting from the rhetorical or linguistic turn brings out within historical research a tension between narrative and documentation that, to the risk of making the boundary between history and the novel implied by the centrality of the role of narrative increasingly evanescent, counterpoints an appeal to the status of evidence, invoked by some historians,…
