Deliberative Democracy, Active Citizenship and Critical Culture: From Aristotle’s Rhetoric to Contemporary Political Philosophy
2013
The aim of this paper is to defend an adequate reading of Aristotle´s deliberative rhetoric that allows us to understand practical rationalization as a process of interpretation of human actions. After the consideration of rhetoric as a general human ability that is indispensable for political coexistence, the impact of the Aristotelian rhetorical proposal is presented, not just as a defense of the importance of rhetoric in a democratic society, but also as a novel attempt to understand what it means to speak of practical rationality.

SPA centru tēls to tīmekļa vietnēs: žanra un multimodālā analīze
2018
Lai klients būtu ieinteresēts turpmākā saziņā ar uzņēmumu, ir svarīgi radīt neaizmirstamu pirmo iespaidu, kas ir viena no mājaslapas funkcijām. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija raksturot sešas SPA centru mājaslapas. Lai sasniegtu šī pētījuma mērķi, tika izvēlēta uz korpusu balstīta pieeja, kas ietvēra Beitmena (Bateman) (2008) izstrādāto žanra un multimodālo (GeM) modeli un Suena (Suen) (2009) piecu soļu modeli, kas tika izmantots mājaslapas izkārtojuma un retoriskās struktūras analīzei.

The advantages of applying the concept of rhetorical style in language-oriented Journalism Studies
2016
This article begins with a delineation of the context of contemporary professional joumalism, particularly its markel-driven, technologically advanced and discursively diverse character. Journalism studies scholars trace media evolution with the aid of content analyses. On the other hand, linguists, including stylisticians, try to capture recent changes in media language with the use of qualitative methods, e.g., with categories derived from discourse analysis, which enable them to see how hegemonie discourses are (re)constructed in journalistic texts. This article elaborates on the category of rhetorical style and shows its applicability to the studies of various media “rhetorics.” Followi…
Illusion of knowledge through Facebook news? Effects of snack news in a news feed on perceived knowledge, attitude strength, and willingness for disc…
2020
Abstract Research indicates that using social network sites as a source for news increases perceived knowledge even if, objectively, people fail to acquire knowledge. This might result from the frequent repetition of topics in news posts caused by multiple news outlets posting about the same news topics and the algorithm that favors similar postings. These repeated encounters can have a positive effect on the perception of knowing more, even if actual learning hardly occurs. An experiment (N = 810, representative of German Internet users) tested these assumptions. Participants were assigned to one of four groups and received a news feed with no information, few news posts, many news posts, …
Comparative vs. Transcendental Approaches to Justice: A Misleading Dichotomy in Sen'sThe Idea of Justice
2012
This paper examines the distinction drawn by Amartya Sen between transcendental and comparative theories of justice, and its application to Rawls' doctrine. It then puts forward three arguments. First, it is argued that Sen offers a limited portrayal of Rawls' doctrine. This is the result of a rhetorical strategy that depicts Rawlsian doctrine as more “transcendental” than it really is. Although Sen deploys numerous quotations in support of his interpretation, it is possible to offer a less transcendental interpretation of Rawls. Second, the dichotomy between transcendental and comparative approaches to questions of justice is partly misleading, insofar as any plausible moral doctrine has b…
Postales desde el infierno jarocho: tácticas retóricas gráficas en la obra de Bruno Ferreira
2016
Este articulo pretende analizar la violencia como un elemento polisemico dentro de la retorica, en la que se articulan practicas discursivas y no discursivas situadas en circunstancias concretas. Se recurre a la categoria genero discursivo como primer marco de interpretacion de la serie de caricaturas titulada Postales desde el infierno jarocho , realizada por el artista Bruno Ferreira.

The pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) is engaged in speech comprehension under difficult circumstances such as poor acoustic signal quality or time-critical conditions. Previous studies found that left pre-SMA is activated when subjects listen to accelerated speech. Here, the functional role of pre-SMA was tested for accelerated speech comprehension by inducing a transient "virtual lesion" using continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS). Participants were tested (1) prior to (pre-baseline), (2) 10 min after (test condition for the cTBS effect), and (3) 60 min after stimulation (post-baseline) using a sentence repetition task (formant-synthesized at rates of 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 syllab…
