A total of 642 students agreed to grant sal…
Doctoral Education and Doctoral Theses — Changing Assessment Practices
2008
Most European countries are today highly interested in the quality of doctoral education. Undoubtedly, the Bologna Process has also given impetus to a reassessment of national doctoral education systems. There is a need to find comparable indicators measuring the efficiency and quality of doctoral education systems and educational practices alike. At the centre of the doctoral education agenda are not only national research funding systems, research training and doctoral programmes but also issues involving international collaboration and mobility (Enders and de Weert 2004; Tomusk 2006). It is widely accepted that doctoral candidates and doctoral theses make a major contribution to the crea…
A Taxonomy as a Vehicle for Learning
2009
In this article, we describe the development of a classification system providing a framework for analysis of, and communication about, a subgroup of learning objects. The objects we consider are highly visual, animated, interactive, and mathematics-related, and we call them VaniMaps. Secondly, we discuss the use of the system. In the first phase, the development was based on literature studies and discussions on examples of VaniMaps. In the second phase, the classification system was tested by students and their responses were analyzed to identify possible improvements. Now, the system is developed further based on experience gained while using it for different purposes. We see several pos…

Inmigrantes “chinxs” en la Buenos Aires globalizada
2018
En las últimas décadas y debido a la globalización, aun siendo su afincamiento restrictivo, la movilidad de personas coloca incluso a sociedades como la argentina, que se autodefine como de inmigrantes, frente a interesantes encrucijadas discursivas: ¿Qué elementos mueve la vulnerabilidad de los actuales inmigrantes en la autopercepción de las autobiografías migratorias de lxs argentinxs? El artículo 25 de la Constitución argentina fomenta explícitamente “la inmigración europea”, pero, ¿qué sucede con la “nueva migración”, por ejemplo con la de personas originarias de China, que se establecieron en los años 1980 y ya cuentan con una “segunda generación” o con otras llegadas aún más reciente…

Representations of individuals in discourses oflaïcitéfromLe Monde: confirming or challenging the republican framework of identity?
2016
ABSTRACTIn recent decades, the notions of laicite and identity have been subjects of controversy in France. The two concepts have become sufficiently co-associated since the 1990s to ensure each almost systematically entails the other. Findings from previous studies have pointed out harmful implications of this pervasive association for minorities in France, especially Muslims. This study examines further the ways laicite and identity are interwoven by exploring who is represented (and how) in newspaper articles from Le Monde dealing with laicite. Informed by critical intercultural communication scholarship, intersectionality, and a Foucaultian approach to discourse, this study pays particu…
"Me llaman el desaparecido" : coexistencia y continuidad entre la desaparición forzada y la desaparición social
2020
En este trabajo analizo una de las formas del desborde contemporáneo de la categoría de "desaparición", por la cual ésta pasa a designar formas de invisibilidad, exclusión y violencia muy diferentes a la que definía su marco originario. En particular, me detengo en el trazado de una relación de continuidad entre las formas de la desaparición forzada originaria -ejemplificada en el caso emblemático de la dictadura militar chilena- y las formas de "desaparición social" en las democracias liberales contemporáneas. A partir de la puesta en relación de conceptos políticos como campo, doctrina del shock o excepción, y del análisis de algunos productos culturales, exploramos la posibilidad de habl…
O Brasil no espelho de Amaterasu: O Japão de Aluísio Azevedo
2013
De 1897 a 1899, Aluísio Azevedo esteve como vice-cônsul em Yokohama. Nesses anos concebeu e esboçou um livro sobre a cultura e sociedade japonesas no passado e no presente, do qual chegou a escrever somente a primeira parte, dedicada à História do Japão. Este fragmento, publicado em 1984 por Luiz Dantas, possibilita analisar a visão de Azevedo da nação e cultura japonesas, a serem compreendidas dentro do contexto histórico do fim do século XIX e em relação com as conflitividades internas da nação e cultura brasileiras como Azevedo as tratou nos seus romances naturalistas.
