Emotional Content in Wikipedia Articles on Negative Man-Made and Nature-Made Events
2017
Wikipedia emphasizes the objectivity of content. Yet, Wikipedia articles also deal with negative events that potentially elicit intense emotions. Undesirable outcomes (e.g., earthquakes) are known to elicit sadness, while undesirable outcomes caused by others’ actions (e.g., terrorist attacks) are known to elicit anger. Internet users’ emotional responses are likely to end up in Wikipedia articles on those events as characteristics of Internet users spill over to Wikipedia articles. Therefore, we expected that Wikipedia articles on terrorist attacks contain more anger-related and less sadness-related content than articles on earthquakes. We analyzed newly created Wikipedia articles about t…
The 'terroridiom' principle between spoken and written discourse
2008
This paper focuses on phraseology used within the domain of politics, both in written and spoken discourse. We concentrate on the lemma TERROR and on the recurrent sequences in which it is embedded, reflecting how native speakers, both American and British, tend to use it in preferred environments making routinized blocks of language. The data come from two corpora: the spoken corpus includes speeches of George W. Bush and Tony Blair, and the written corpus is made up of articles from The Wall Street Journal and The Economist. Since text is nothing but phraseology of one kind or another (Sinclair 2008), our attempt here is to uncover which of the two varieties lends itself more willingly to…

El ejercicio del derecho de manifestación (sindical o no) durante la pandemia por el COVID-19
2020
Abstract This paper analyzes and reflects on the treatment of the right to protest during the state of alarm and health crisis in jurisprudence. The cases related to the freedom of demonstration have given rise to judicial pronouncements in different courts, where arguments related to the concern about the logical limitations of the right, that the health crisis would impose, with the need to prevent an excessive interpretation of the state of alarm leading to the de facto suspension of the fundamental right. Resumen El presente artículo analiza y reflexiona sobre el tratamiento del derecho a la manifestación durante el estado de alarma y de crisis sanitaria en la jurisprudencia. Los casos …

The Territorial Defense Force in the fight against terrorism – institutional and legal issues

The Travel and Tourism Industry
2017
Earlier chapters focused on the intersection of terrorism and tourism, but this depends on how terrorists changed their tactics to instill terror in society. Some decades ago, terrorists selected celebrities, important persons, or chief police officers as main target of their attacks, but now this role is filled by tourists and global travellers. The situation worsened when Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi declared jihad against ‘tourism and modern hot-spots of consumption’. The concept of mobilities was historically manipulated by Western powers to impose a one-way discourse which aims to discipline the Other as inferior to European masters.
