¿Sin salida?: biomedicalización y resistencias en las comunidades virtuales de atención de personas diagnosticadas de agorafobia
2021
Las comunidades virtuales de atención constituyen espacios legos que cumplen con funciones distintas en la gestión del malestar. En esta investigación nos fijamos en los grupos on-line de Facebook de personas diagnosticadas de agorafobia para escrutar la articulación de respuestas legas de gestión del diagnóstico biomédico de la agorafobia como trastorno. Nos servimos de la netnografía, a través del análisis de discursos de las entradas y de entrevistas cualitativas complementarias, como diseño metodológico. El marco teórico que nos aportan los conceptos de medicalización y la biomedicalización nos sirven como coordenadas que nos permiten comprender que las articulaciones de estrategias de …
Power and Legitimizing Ideologies in Hierarchy-Enhancing vs. Hierarchy-Attenuating Environments
2012
According to social dominance theory, intergroup dynamics are strongly influenced by the social positions which individuals hold in society. Several studies suggest that holding a position of power can, sometimes automatically, generate negative attitudes and hostile behaviors toward subordinate social groups. However, at present, the studies carried out on these effects of power have not taken into account the influence of the normative context. Based on the distinction made by Sidanius and Pratto between “hierarchy-enhancing” (HE) vs. “hierarchy-attenuating” (HA) environments, this study examines if the effects of power on legitimizing cognitions vary as a function of the normative enviro…

Religious thought and experience in the prison camps
2020
The development of religious thought has often been marked by discord and conflicts be tween religions (and/or individual religious thinkers) and the State, which at times led to the repression of individuals and or groups of people united by the same confession. The Russian case is fully in line with this unfortunate tradition: from Nikon’s schism to the re pression against all religions under the Soviet regime, Russian religious thought has of ten developed in repressive conditions. However, the Russian case has one distinguishing feature, that is, the extensive use of prison camps by Russian and Soviet authorities from the nineteenth century onwards, which has had a direct effect on some…
El héroe, el viaje y la construcción de las identidades sociales. Las minas del rey Salomón como modelo
2019
The purpose of the following pages is to better understand how social identities are constructed and how these constructions influence citizenship. For this, I will analyze a type of hero that emerged in England throughout the nineteenth century: the one related to travel and exploration. He is a hero who assumes a thousand-year-old tradition and develops it in a certain direction. Its purpose is to reinforce an idea of the world that serves the interests of the social groups that create or mold that heroic figure and that, through it, aspire to that image of the world becomes dominant, permeating all social sectors. After pointing out some of the most outstanding travel modalities of the n…

2010
[ca] L'artesanat fou un col??lectiu destacat en l'àmbit del conjunt de viles que formaven el País Valencià en la baixa Edat Mitjana, també en el cas d'Alzira. En el següent article tractem d'oferir una anàlisi d'aquest heterogeni grup social mitjançant un dels principals espais on desenvolupava la seua activitat, l'obrador o la casa. I això a partir de la localització de bona part de la menestralia en el centre urbà, també de les tasques que portava a terme en l'àmbit domèstic, passant per la transmissió del patrimoni o en quines condicions accedia al mercat immobiliari. En definitiva, pretenem interrogar-nos sobre com s'inseria l'habitatge en les estratègies familiars i quin paper jugava e…
The roles of group potency and information and communication technologies in the relationship between task conflict and team effectiveness: A longitu…
2007
The effects of task conflict on group effectiveness are far from conclusive. In order to further clarify this relationship, a contingency approach has been suggested. In this context, the present study examines the roles of group potency and information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the relationship between task conflict and team effectiveness. The study involved 44 groups of 4 members each, working in two communication media. Twenty-two groups worked in a face-to-face condition, and the other 22 groups worked in a computer-mediated communication condition. The groups developed a project during four weekly sessions over a one-month period. The results showed that group potency mo…
Structural approach of social representation: Application to the concept of wine minerality in experts and consumers
2015
© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. In recent years the sensory evaluation field has been moving from the traditional sensory descriptive methodologies towards consumer based methodologies. Sensory descriptions are not confined to sensory evaluation. In everyday life, people use also descriptions to communicate about products sensory properties. The theory of social representation offers a new approach for studying the meaning of the terminology used in these everyday life descriptions. One implication of this theory is that meaning is created through a system of social negotiations rather than being a fixed and finite code. The goal of the present study was to understand the meaning of the concept of win…
Housing Affordability and Income-threshold in Social Housing Policy

Abstract The issue of affordable housing has again become crucial in ensuring a greater social equity, increasing social cohesion and reducing inequalities within metropolitan or regional systems which, in the current climate of severe economic crisis, have to respond to global challenges of development, innovation and sustainability. This study aims at building a system of knowledge about the housing affordability on the territorial scale, by which to identify the local characteristics of housing problems that could be solved through traditional planning tools or new practices of social housing, which involves private stakeholders and/or public administrations. This system of knowledge sho…
