Mitigation and boosting as face-protection functions
2020
Abstract Mitigation is undeniably and necessarily linked with the social aspect of communication. No speaker mitigates an utterance without a goal in mind, which makes mitigation a means to an end and not an end in itself. Even though the various definitions of mitigation do not assign the same aims to this phenomenon, the social impact it has on the participants in the communication is generally agreed upon throughout the literature (Fraser, 1980; Meyer-Hermann, 1988; Bazzanella et al., 1991; Briz, 1998, 2003; Caffi, 1999; Thaler, 2012; Briz and Albelda, 2013; Schneider, 2013; Albelda et al., 2014; Albelda, 2016, 2018). In this paper, the mitigating and boosting strategies in relationship …
Ficciones inmunitarias. Sobre la lógica de la inmunidad en la cultura contemporánea
2018
This article develops the concept of “immunitarian fiction” taking as paradigmatic examples epidemics and zombie narratives, which share the idea of contagion as the main matrix of their narrative. The article tries to address the following question: in what way do these fictions, and other similar ones, participate in the imaginary of immunity and, at the same time, show some of their internal contradictions? For this, the text reflects on a set of cultural products of mass diffusion (novels, television series, cinematographic works). We analyze, in the first place, how these fictions highlight the fears and social anxieties linked to the tensions of the “immune paradigm” and represent the…
“Apparently, women don't know how to operate doors": A corpus-based analysis of women stereotypes in the TV series <i>3rd Rock from the Sun<…
2017
This paper explores how women stereotypes are discursively evaluated in the TV sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun by paying attention to the societal, cultural and ideological values they convey. Following recent trends for the study of television series (Bednarek, 2010), the analysis is both qualitative and quantitative, adopting a Corpus-Assisted Discourse Analysis approach (Baker, 2006; Partington, 2004). The contextualised analysis of words that refer to women confirms that the sitcom writers of 3rd Rock from the Sun purposefully resort to stereotyping as a verbal strategy to create humour while conveying negative attitudes towards women.

Erot järjestykseen! : Eurovision laulukilpailu, kansallisuus ja televisiohistoria
2006
Eurovision laulukilpailu (euroviisut) on ollut näkyvä osa suomalaista televisiokulttuuria vuodesta 1961 alkaen. Kahden televisiokanavan aikaan se oli suureellinen tapaus arkisen ohjelmiston joukossa ja kiistelty suosikkiohjelma. Nykyisin Eurovision laulukilpailulla ei enää ole samanlaista erikoisasemaa vuotuisessa TV-kalenterissa, mutta se herättää yhä vilkkaita mediakeskusteluja. Niissä kansallisuus on ollut keskeinen huolenaihe. Erot järjestykseen! avaa näkökulman suomalaisen television ja populaarikulttuurin historiaan. Kulttuurintutkimuksen ja feministisen tutkimuksen keinoin tarkastellaan, kuinka Eurovision laulukilpailuun liittyvässä media-aineistossa tuotetaan ja järjestetään eroja. …

A multimodal analysis of british television commercials and their Influence in the audience
2018
Abstract A MULTIMODAL ANALYSIS OF BRITISH TELEVISION COMMERCIALS AND THEIR INFLUENCE IN THE AUDIENCE Advertising has been among us since ancient times; but since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution —middle of the XIX century— advertising grew at the same rate as the industrial activity did. Today, most people are constantly exposed to its messages and it is an activity for which companies spend large amounts of money. This shows that it has an impact on sales, making it a key activity in the capitalist machinery. One may wonder what makes advertising so effective. Hitherto, there have been a multitude of studies about what makes advertising such a skilful tool in convincing people. I…
Factors psicosocials rellevants en la violència de preadolescents i adolescents escolaritzats
2010
A pesar de la considerable evidència acumulada sobre els efectes de la violència en els mitjans, encara hi ha controvèrsia sobre el tema. La comunitat científica debat la influència de la TV i els videojocs en el comportament dels subjectes (vid. Kids, TV viewing, andaggressivebehavior, Science (Letters) 297, 49-50, 2002). Aquells que s'oposen al fet que la TV i els videojocs tenen influència sobre el comportament agressiu, defensen que la causalitat no es pot establir tan fàcilment, ja que als individus violents els agradarà més veure actes agressius en TV i que estiguen presents en els videojocs. En l'actual estudi realitzat amb escolars preadolescents i adolescents 'amb una grandària de …
Influence of appearance-related TV commercials on body image state.
2008
This study investigates the influence of media exposure on body image state in eating-disordered (ED) patients. The attitudinal and perceptual components of body image are assessed, as well as any associations with dysfunctional cognitions and behavioral consequences. Twenty-five ED patients and 25 non-ED controls (ND) viewed commercials either featuring appearance (AC; 5 min) or not featuring appearance (NC; 5 min). Both perceptual and attitudinal body image components changed markedly after the AC condition for ED patients, compared with the ND group and NC condition. Cognitions referring to dietary restraint and internalization/social comparison also changed significantly in ED patients…
Parental modeling, education and children's sports and TV time: The ENERGY-project
2014
