The Financial Crisis: An Introduction

2020

This section discusses the origins of the Eurozone crisis in European Monetary Union before discussing various dimensions of how the Eurozone coped, its impact on integration, and the crisis’ implications for the future of the EU. While the authors all show that the EU’s response to the financial crisis reflected the scenario ‘muddling through,’ they have different perspectives on the future of integration post crisis. Rosen and Olsen point out that the austerity policies implemented after crisis resulted in collective protest movements across Europe. Tranoy and Stenstad highlight the failure of financial sector reforms to reset the social role of finance in a more equitable way. Caporaso a…

Incorporating intra-annual variability in fisheries abundance data to better capture population dynamics

2022

Abstract To reduce the risk of overexploitation and the ensuing conservation and socio-economic consequences, fisheries management relies on receiving accurate scientific advice from stock assessments. Biomass dynamics models used in stock assessment tend to rely primarily on indices of abundance and commercial landings data. Standard practice for calculating the indices used in these models typically involves taking averages of survey tow data over large, diverse spatial domains. There is a lot of variability in the choice of methodologies used to propagate index uncertainty into the assessment model, many of which require specifying it through expert knowledge or prior distributions. Here…

All changed, changed utterly: endangered identities in Autumn by Ali Smith.

2019

The essay intends to look at the well-known book,Autumn, by Ali Smith, shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and analyse the ways in which the debates leading to as well as the events following the 2016 Brexit referendum contribute to the writing of a desfunctional narration in which borders, domestic spaces and identities are questioned on a daily basis. The essay argues that there is strong link between the making of the story and the deconstruction of a national identity: the fragile exploration of anxieties of belonging and nationhood opens up a space for thought through words, inviting the reader to think about the relationship between language, space and time and affirming the importance …

“The war is over”. Militarizing the language and framing the Nation in post-Brexit discourse

2020

This chapter analyzes the militarization of political language in digital contexts in the post-Brexit discourse, and how such militarization, which is often constitutive of hate speech, contributes to framing an “exclusive” concept of the nation whose meaning is reproduced and circulated (as well as challenged) in society. It will address the role of emotions and hate in language in fueling and aggregating online communities around a key political issue, i.e. the Brexit negotiations, and a core cultural and social concept, i.e. the nation. The militarization of language, which is based on certain discursive structures, e.g. war metaphors (Lakoff and Johnson 1980, Musolff 2020), is one of th…

La desinformación en las redes de mensajería instantánea. Estudio de las fake news en los canales relacionados con la ultraderecha española en Telegr…

2021

espanolOne of the most uncontrolled and wides-pread sources of misinformation are the instant messaging platforms, mainly due to the privacy of the communication spaces created in them. The dissemination of false news on these networks makes it difficult to detect them and thus complicates the task of fact-checking. Both WhatsApp and Tele-gram were used and integrated in the elec-toral campaign of the previous elections in the United States (Journell, 2017; Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017), in the United Kingdom on the occasion of the Brexit (Kucharski 2016), in Brazil (Novomisky, 2018), and recently in the autonomous elections of Andalusia (Spain) (Viejo, 2018). This research takes as a case stud…
