Presentació del monogràfic: Cultura i estat: autonomia creativa, lluita política i instrumentalització
2016
Des de mitjan segle xix, la relació entre l'estat i la cultura ha sigut una relació problemàtica. Vicent Dubois ens recorda, en el seu llibre sobre la gènesi de la política cultural, que, inicialment, l'autonomia de l'esfera cultural es va construir contra l'estat i les seues pretensions d'instrumentalitzar-la per legitimar-se (Dubois, 1999). I no serà, de fet, fins a mitjan segle xx quan la relació entre cultura i estat tornarà a ser presentada en termes d'aliança, cosa que convencionalment hem denominat polítiques culturals. Així mateix, Philip Urfalino, en el seu llibre sobre la gènesi de la política cultural francesa -considerada habitualment la gènesi d'aquesta nova categoria d'acció p…
La ciutat il·luminada. València en els textos de Max Aub.
2018
La ciutat de València apareix una vegada rere l’altra en l’obra de Max Aub. De vegades, en dates properes a la infantesa de l’autor, els finals de la dècada dels anys deu. Unes altres —la majoria—, en els anys de la Guerra Civil, en les novel·les del cicle El laberinto mágico, especialment en Campo abierto i Campo de los almendros. En aquest article analitzarem la textura d’aquesta representació, com és la València representada, quins són els trets que Aub en destaca, en quins barris es mouen els seus personatges; és a dir, de quina manera Max Aub, des de l’exili, basteix el plànol de la ciutat recordada amb sorprenent precisió, vinculant‑lo a olors, sons, sensacions i noms propis, de lloc …
Coping With Relationship Stressors: A Decade Review
2011
This review identifies key issues in research on adolescent coping with stress with parents, friends, and romantic partners during the past decade. An analysis of 78 studies revealed findings on relationship stressors and the potential links between the use of different coping styles for different relationship types. Research has confirmed consistent gender differences in dealing with relationship stress and shown how individual factors (e.g., personality factors and attachment style) contribute to variations in stress perception and coping styles. Implications for prevention and intervention are identified and suggestions are made for future research, particularly with respect to complex a…
Decolonizing Othello in search of black feminist North American identities: Djanet Sears' Harlem duet and Toni Morrison's Desdemona
2017
<p>The plays <em>Harlem duet </em>(1997) by African Canadian playwright Djanet Sears and <em>Desdemona </em>(2012) by Toni Morrison signify upon European texts aiming to carve out a new definition of what it means to be black in North America. Therefore both texts make for interesting reading in the study of (black) identity construction within US and Canadian contexts for, by revising Shakespeare’s <em>Othello</em>, they rethink and rewrite a social and racial reality unrelentingly disrupted by difference and hybridity. Sears’ play establishes a specific reading of Canadianness in dialogue with African America to erect a possibility of healing and …
Socio-spatial differentiation in transition: a preliminary comparative analysis of post-soviet St Petersburg and Riga
2020
Research into the socio-spatial dynamics in Central European cities is an important area of contemporary transition studies. Open issues in this domain range from defining a theoretical framework to data availability and methodological approaches. As to the former aspect, recent literature focuses on the hybrid nature of the post-socialist urban space, which underwent modernization in the conditions of globalization and economic liberalization; the earlier model of spatial development changed dramatically as a result. The multi-scalar and comparative approaches may shed new light on the complex patterns of urban socio-spatial differentiation and its post-Soviet dynamics. Growing regional so…
Pursuing decentralisation : regional cultural policies in Finland and Sweden
2021
In both Finland and Sweden, decentralisation has traditionally been an essential cultural policy aim. This article explores how, by pursuing decentralisation, the regional jurisdictions have been presented with more possibilities to fulfil their purposes and in this way, gain legitimacy in cultural policy. Based on the analysis of political, legal, and administrative documents, three main periods of regional decentralisation in cultural policies are identified: regions as vehicles of welfare policy, regionalisation, and competitive regions. In both countries, national governments have promoted the regional level’s agency, and in doing so, potential institutional change in cultural policy. H…
‘I shared the joy’: sport-related social support and communality on Instagram
2020
The popularity of sharing photographs on digital platforms has increased significantly due to the communicative affordances of mobile media and the emergence of photo-sharing applications, such as Instagram. In this paper, we examine how social support and communality can be built and reinforced through digital visual communication. We focus especially on photo sharing in the context of recreational climbing and trail running. In a qualitative study with Finnish climbers and runners, we asked what meanings sports practitioners ascribe to the practice of sharing and observed how they communicate these meanings through photographs. The results indicate that different types of visual content b…
Edward W. Said : le scientifique et le biographique
2014
Lorsqu’il publie Out of Place en 1999, Said n’est pas le premier chercheur a livrer des memoires au public, mais il livre toutefois des confidences fort intimes plutot inattendues. C’est tout l’interet de ce livre qui raconte sa vie entre 1935, annee de sa naissance, et 1962, annee de son doctorat. Notre but n’est pas de reduire la pensee de Said aux conditions de sa vie mais de montrer quels etaient les differents possibles qui se presentaient a lui. Car rien n’etait joue : a la souffrance des dechirements identitaires, il etait possible d’apporter d’autres reponses, bien plus agressives et dangereuses, que la deconstruction des identites alienantes transformees en outils de domination. Di…
Breaking the “Fourth Wall” in Qualitative Research: Participant-Led Digital Data Construction
2018
This article reconstructs the typical researcher-participant focus - where the participants are doing for us - instead we followed the participants’ lead in the construction of research. Using a qualitative literacy event case study as an example, we describe how participants unexpectedly co-constructed knowledge through a participant-led digital data collection. In this theoretical article, we provide an explanation of the original study, which used observations, semi-structured interviews, and home visits as a collective qualitative case study on parental participation in social literacy practices. The original investigation led to the important shift that occurred in participant-research…
Historical competencies and narratives: the historical thinking of students and pre-service teachers
2015
Se analizan las competencias de pensamiento histórico de estudiantes españoles de bachillerato y del Máster de Profesorado, y sus narrativas sobre historia de España. Se utilizan métodos cualitativos para identificar: a) su pensamiento histórico, que comprende conocimientos sustantivos y uso de metaconceptos; b) en cuanto a sus narrativas, la gradación cognitiva (taxonomía SOLO) y el sujeto narrativo utilizado. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los estudiantes de secundaria no utilizan metaconceptos. La complejidad del pensamiento histórico del profesorado en formación está relacionada con el empleo de contenidos sustantivos. Los resultados apuntan a la necesidad de mejorar la educa…
