Los grupos agrarios en la política urbana del País Valenciano: Castelló de la Plana, ss. XIX-XX

1996

A través del análisis social de la politica de una pequeña ciudad durante los siglos XIX y XX se muestra la complejidad de la evolución de las estructuras agrarias en el regadio valenciano con su correspondiente conflictividad social. La participación de los grupos agrarios en la politica urbana del Pais Valenciano ha podido representar un factor más importante de lo que la historiografía reconoce en la actualidad. Además, el papel desempeñado por los sectores agrarios modestos no debe juzgarse siempre como subordinado. The complex evolution of agrarian structures and the associated social conflict in the irrigated zone of Valencia is shown through a social analysis of the politics of a sma…

Norwegian Sociology and the Recognition of the Saami Minority

2014

At a time when the Saami ethnic minority got little attention by the Norwegian public and the political authorities of the country, sociologists did much to raise public awareness about the conditions of this ethnic minority. In the postwar period of the 1950s and 1960s, sociologists of Norway focused to a large degree on social groups that fell outside the emerging welfare state. Norwegian sociology has been characterized by an approach named “problem-oriented empirism” and also by sociologists playing a vital role as public intellectuals. Sociology professor Vilhelm Aubert (1922- 88) coined the term “problem-oriented empirism” to characterize Norwegian sociology from the end of the Second…

Access to Higher Education: An Instrument for Fair Societies?

2019

Access to higher education (HE) has a long history. To offer a view on the current debates and worldwide issues regarding access to HE, this editorial depicts how the control of educational access has historically been used as an instrument of governance at the interface of two processes: social stratification and the territorialisation of politics. Access to HE has remained embedded in these large structural processes even though HE has expanded from a highly elitist institution into mass education systems with equity of educational opportunities having become a desirable goal across societies. Analysing these processes helps understand the complex mechanisms producing inequalities in HE t…

Homot ja heterot Suomi24:ssä: analyysi digitaalisista diskursseista

2018

Artikkelissani tarkastelen Suomi24-keskustelupalstan homouteen ja heterouteen liittyviä toistuvia diskursseja. Analyysi on toteutettu korpusavusteisena diskurssintutkimuksena (CADS), jossa suureen dataan perustuva tilastollinen avainsana-analyysi nostaa esiin suomalaisen yhteiskunnan sosiaalisesti jaetut diskurssit. Tulokset yhtäältä tukevat aiempia media-analyyseissä tehtyjä havaintoja voimakkaista affekteista ja vihapuheesta sekä homoseksuaalisuuden politisoitumisesta ja uskonnollistumisesta. Toisaalta se myös paljastaa homodiskurssien henkilöitymisen tai liittymisen tiettyihin henkilöryhmiin ja paikkoihin. Heterodiskurssit puolestaan eroavat selvästi homodiskursseista: niille on tyypilli…

Igualdad y no discriminación en tiempo de pandemia

2021

[ES] El presente trabajo realiza un análisis de cuál ha sido el impacto que el SARS-Cov-2 ha tenido en diversos grupos sociales, desde el prisma de la confrontación de los determinantes sociales y legales de la salud.

The text argues that a critical view that must be hold in the use of the latter, as it disregards subordinate patterns of disc…

The influence of familiarity among group members, group atmosphere and assertiveness on uninhibited behavior through three different communication me…

2000

The study of the influence of new information technologies (NIT) on verbal communication has attracted attention from researchers. Results obtained in previous studies suggest that NIT communication media produce a deindividualization in group processes that enhances uninhibited behavior and flaming. However, identity theory emphasizes the role of social context, challenging the interpretation that features of the media are the main antecedent of this behavior. The aim of the present paper is threefold: (1) to empirically test whether there are significant differences in the frequency of uninhibited behavior in groups working under face-to-face, videoconference and computer-mediated communi…

Understanding cultural influences on back pain and back pain research

2017

Low back pain is highly prevalent and places a considerable burden on individuals, their families and communities. This back pain burden is unequally distributed around the world and within populations. Clinicians and researchers addressing back pain should be aware of the cultural, social and political context of back pain patients and how this context can influence pain perception, disability and health care use. Culture, which influences the beliefs and behaviour of individuals within a social group, could be considered an important contributor to the unequal distribution of back pain. However, there is paucity of high-quality research exploring the influence of culture on the experience…

Community Care in Taiwan

2004

SUMMARY This article explores the policy definitions and the funder roles of central and local governments in community care in Taiwan. The notion of community care has been adopted in Taiwan following the model of Hong Kong but the main question of the article is whether this has resulted in actual service provisions at the community level, forming an alternative to institutional care. The data has been collected from several sources: policy documents, official statistics, surveys, general reports, funding provision reports, and empirical studies. The results show that neither central nor local authorities are seriously involved in caring for elderly people or persons with disabilities in …

Häpeä suomalaisten mielisairaalamuistoissa

2019

Korostunut häpeän tunne liittyy olennaisesti niin mielenterveysongelmiin kuin psykiatriseen hoitotyöhön. Erityisesti mielisairaalaan joutuminen on monelle häpeällinen kokemus, josta on vaikeaa puhua. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelen mielisairaalakokemuksiin liittyvää häpeää  psykiatristen sairaaloiden potilaiden, omaisten ja henkilökunnan kirjoittamien muistojen valossa. Analysoin muistelijoiden kuvaamia häpeän kokemuksia kuvaten  häpeän kerronnallista rakentumista muistoissa. Pohdin mitkä tekijät ovat lisänneet, mitkä puolestaan helpottaneet mielisairaalakokemuksiin liittyvää häpeää. Eri muistelijaryhmien häpeän kokemukset ovat luonteeltaan erilaisia – potilaiden muistojen osalta niissä koro…
