Liminality and (Trans)Nationalism in the Rethinking of the African Canadian Subjectivity: Esi Edugyan’s The Second Life of Samuel Tyne
2015
Drawing on the concepts of liminality proposed by Arnold Van Gennep and Victor Turner and Althusser's three ideological tools that nationalism prescribe to be undertaken by individuals who try to become an integral part of a national community, this paper reads Esi Edugyan’s debut novel, The Second Life of Samuel Tyne (2004), as an exploration of the role of literature within the debate about the different positions of black Canadian subjectivity and national adherence. George Elliott Clarke and Rinaldo Walcott polarized the African Canadian criticism by proposing two different theories in an attempt to shape up and (re)define the subjectivity of black Canadians. Clarke advocates to include…
The essay as a discursive genre: a border area
2018
Resum: El gènere assagístic es configura amb Michel de Montaigne, com a forma de deliberació interior de l’autor, i posteriorment ha estat cultivat per importants autors de la literatura occidental. La seua definició no és fàcil d’establir. D’una banda, sovint s’ha situat a la frontera del discurs literari, al qual s’introdueix de ple dret quan el seu estil exhibeix una textura estilística molt elaborada i no es redueix a una escriptura expositiva pròpia del discurs acadèmic. Les zones de transició amb la literatura del jo i amb el periodisme són, sens dubte, dignes d’atenció. D’altra banda, en el camp de la literatura, és molt instructiu examinar les seues relacions amb altres gèneres i pr…
Gubernamentalidad neoliberal y producción de conocimiento en la universidad: genealogía de una configuración subjetiva
2016
This article claims that any questioning of the conditions related to the feasibility of critical research projects needs to be done by taking into account the process of commodification of knowledge that has developed in universities due to the incorporation of the modes of neoliberal governmentality. This is a process which redefines the value and use that we give to produced knowledge as well as the subjectivity of university collectives. The way knowledge is understood and the subjective configurations that promote instrumental ways of relating to knowledge in an individualizing and competitive environment need to be taken into account. Therefore, we consider it politically relevant to …
Experiential tourist shopping value: Adding causality to value dimensions and testing their subjectivity
2017
Previous literature on consumer behavior has tackled the experiential approach in retailing services in depth; however, most of the previous studies have concentrated on the simultaneous but not concatenated effects of value dimensions on satisfaction and/or loyalty. Furthermore, tourists' shopping behavior remains an underdeveloped area of study from the experiential perspective. This work explores experiential tourist shopping value, aiming to (a) explain tourists' loyalty to retailers by adding causality to experiential dimensions and (b) prove the subjectivity of these values. After a diachronic and synchronic review of the literature on experiential shopping value, a structural model w…
Agency displays in stories of drunk driving: Subjectivity, authorship, and reflectivity
2012
This study examined 30 stories of drunk driving (DD) recounted by repeat offenders in the early phase of a court-mandated counseling program. The focus of analysis was on displays of agency in the narrators’ portrayal of themselves as protagonists in the stories. The expressions of subjectivity, authorship, and reflectivity were considered as constructors of agency positions. In the analysis of the videotaped and transcribed stories, five story types of agency were found. They displayed the narrator-protagonists’ agency positions as either unconcerned, weak, egotistical, akratic, or disowned. The quality of telling is viewed as expressing the narrators’ problematic agency positions, readine…

Dynamics in the Field of Museums: Contemporary Challenges for Polish Museologists
2018
The aim of this text is to present and analyze the attitudes of Polish museologists towards the changes currently taking place in the field of museums. More specifically, it will focus on their opinions regarding the evolution of museums—from the traditional model, based on symbolic violence, to the contemporary model, which accents the subjectivity of the audience. Its conclusions, based on analyses of 26 qualitative interviews with employees of Polish museums, are as follows: the organizational changes taking place in Polish museums do not relieve museologists from bureaucratic work; the collections in museums distinguish them from other institutions of culture; there is a struggle …
Jak historia odkłada się w pamięci, jak pamięć odkłada się w języku
2019
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"> </p><p>Tematem artykułu jest zakreślenie ram pola badawczego tworzonego przez trzy tytułowe pojęcia: historia, pamięć, język. Ponieważ każde z nich jest wieloznaczne, a na dodatek w różnych sytuacjach odnoszone są do różnych porządków ontologicznych (do rzeczywistości pozajęzykowej i do rzeczywistości tekstowej, narracyjnej), autor stara się doprecyzować znaczenia odnośnych wyrazów i pokazać złożone relacje, jakie występują zarówno między poszczególnymi znaczeniami każdego z wyrazów oddzielnie (a więc pomiędzy „historią1” i „historią2” z jednej strony oraz między „pamięcią1” i „pamięcią2” – z drugiej)…
'A Shared Reality between a Journalist and the Audience': How Live Journalism Reimagines News Stories
2021
Live journalism is a new journalistic genre in which journalists present news stories to a live audience. This article investigates the journalistic manuscripts of live journalism performances. With the focus on texts, the article reaches beyond the live performance to explore the wider implications and potentials pioneered by live journalists. The data were gathered from <em>Musta laatikko</em> (‘Black Box’) manuscripts, a live journalism production by the Finnish newspaper <em>Helsingin Sanomat</em>. The manuscripts were analysed as <em>eudaimonic journalism</em> through four conceptual dimensions: self-transcendence, autonomy, competence, and relatedne…
Rose senza perché. Hannah Arendt e le "fabbriche della morte".
2020
The figure of the Arendtian survey can be identified in the idea of the incomparability of the totalitarian phenomenon compared to previous forms of authoritarianism, for multiple and various reasons. Among these it is precisely the creation of the extermination camps, the systematic annihilation of human beings, the quid that makes totalitarianism irreducible to any political phenomenon of the past: the concentration camps, expression of nihilistic achievement, are for Arendt the event which, marking a clear historical fracture, stops the continuity of our tradition interrupted precisely by the realization of its own nihilistic dynamics.
