Abstract: Estudios en varias disciplinas de las ciencias sociales han senalado que se esta desarrollando una despolitizacion estrategica del trabajo remunerado, junto con la constitucion del sujeto como emprendedor autosuficiente y la remodelacion de sociedad de acuerdo con los principios del mercado. Desde una perspectiva critica, esta tesis doctoral se centra en el punto de union entre la configuracion discursiva del significado del trabajo y la construccion de identidad, en la Grecia de hoy. Mas especificamente, explora las formas en las que los empleados griegos construyen el trabajo asalariado en su habla, las redes de significados en las que sus construcciones se basan y sus posibles implicaciones en un nivel micro- y macrosocial. En la misma linea, ilumina las posiciones subjetivas que los individuos adoptan en su comunicacion coloquial, asi como los discursos que han logrado establecer sus definiciones de la relacion laboral como evidentes. El estudio utilizo un diseno de investigacion cualitativa. En este marco, llevamos a cabo 22 entrevistas semiestructuradas en profundidad con 11 mujeres y 11 hombres, entre 23-43 anos; las sesiones de entrevistas fueron enriquecidas con material visual generado por los participantes, quienes contribuyeron con fotografias tomadas por ellos, respondiendo a la pregunta: "?Que significa para ti ser un empleado?". Las entrevistas fueron grabadas y se analizaron discursivamente fragmentos seleccionados, a partir de perspectivas socio-construccionistas, en base de premisas post-estructuralistas sobre el uso de lenguaje, el sujeto y lo social. En cuanto a la configuracion discursiva del si como empleado, se identificaron tres patrones discursivos contextualmente performados y flexibles; los llamamos: el "empresario de si mismo", el "determinado socio-economicamente", y el "centrado en la profesion". En cuanto a los recursos discursivos mobilizados en el habla sobre el trabajo asalariado, se identificaron tres repertorios interpretativos: la "escuela", el "viaje" y la "esclavitud", manteniendo diferentes presuposiciones sobre la identidad y las relaciones sociales. Mediante la identificacion de patrones de comunicacion en el nivel local, nuestro estudio tambien llama la atencion sobre las redes de conocimiento y poder mas amplias, que permiten que estas practicas argumentativas resulten inteligibles; se podria argumentar que, aunque las formulaciones discursivas neoliberales y capitalocentricas parecen haber establecido sus significaciones como naturales, existen tambien discursos contra-hegemonicos, liberando espacios para la promulgacion de identidades alternativas.

Abstract: La multiplication des canaux de diffusion des textes depuis deux decennies oblige a repenser l’idee meme de la lecture. Aujourd’hui, les supports numeriques deviennent l’outil de predilection d’un nombre grandissant de lecteurs et orientent necessairement leurs modes et conditions de lecture. Ces derniers sont devenus un objet de recherche multidisciplinaire a part entiere autour de la notion cle de litteratie mediatique multimodale. Celle-ci rend compte du changement non seulement des medias un a un, mais de tout un environnement mediatique qui integre l'imprime, l'audiovisuel, la telephonie et l'ordinateur. L’article decrit la genese de la litteratie mediatique multimodale, particulierement dans le contexte scolaire, et en analyse les paradigmes epistemologiques et empiriques afin d’actualiser la comprehension de la lecture. Il defend une conception selon laquelle la litteratie classique doit desormais cohabiter et evoluer avec la litteratie mediatique multimodale afin d’elargir les notions memes de texte et de lecture.

'Academic literacies' as moving beyond writing: Investigating multimodal approaches to academic argument

[...]

Cheng-Wen Huang, Arlene Archer

01 Mar 2017-London Review of Education

TL;DR: This article put forward a framework for understanding and analysing multimodal academic argument, which views argument in relation to features that make up text, namely mode, genre, discourse, and medium.

...read moreread less

Abstract: Research on academic literacies has predominately focused on writing practices in higher education. To account for writing practices in the digital age, this paper emphasizes the importance of extending the focus of academic literacies beyond writing to include multimodal composition. Drawing on social semiotics, we put forward a framework for understanding and analysing multimodal academic argument. This framework views argument in relation to features that make up text, namely mode, genre, discourse, and medium. We also look at ways in which multimodal resources are appropriated into argument through citation. Becoming more explicit about the ways in which academic argument is constructed is important for enabling student access into the discourses and practices of academia.

Abstract: The study focuses on understanding current pedagogical practices in teacher education, taking into account England’s and Kuwait’s historical, political and cultural backgrounds. The study emphasises the use of technology and the unique contribution of using multimodal learning in relation to teacher education in Kuwait, and indeed within the Kuwaiti and Arabic literature relating to teacher education. A comparative case study research design was used and in total, 24 teacher educators and student teachers participated in the study. Two types of data were collected in both countries: video recording of lessons in which student teachers training to become primary teachers were taught how to use ICT to support teaching and learning, and interviews with student teachers and teacher educators. The video recording data was analyzed using multimodal analysis, whereas interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings from the multimodal data analysis showed teacher educators in England use more technology and multimodal teaching styles as compared to the teacher educators in Kuwait. The thematic analysis yielded four themes, multiple modes of representation; mixed methods; generation gap; and problems in learning and teacher education. The thematic analysis related to the findings from the multimodal analysis in showing differences and similarities between England and Kuwait with respect to technology and style of teaching. The study has the potential to provide positive information for the teacher educators, student teachers and other faculty members of the College of Basic Education in Kuwait under PAAET (Public Authority for Applied Education and Training). The findings from the study can be used to present PAAET with guidelines that can widely educate teachers in Kuwait about multimodality, integration of technology and teaching methods.

Abstract: Using the example of the linguistic landscape of an indigenous Sami village in northern Scandinavia, this article explores multilingualism in public signs located in public spaces of the village. Based on long-standing ethnographic and discourse analytical research on multilingualism in the spaces and practices in the peripheral locality of Samiland, I will focus on the temporal and spatial dimensions of the signs. In this, Bakhtin’s concept of the chronotope is applied. Two chronotopes are identified and examined with regard to language change, mobility and multilingualism in public spaces. It is argued that linguistic landscapes often highlight spatial normativity and creativity, as well as local semiotic interventions, all embedded in historical, political and economic conditions.
