Abstract:

This study investigates how the use of a specific symbol, the German Democratic Republic (GDR), assists the alignment of individual and dominant interests within contemporary Germany. Based upon a conception of hegemony as a continuous, negotiated process as the main ordering principle within contemporary society, the study focuses upon the ways in which the GDR is constructed within individual narratives and contemporaneous local press reports as a means of examining specific instances of the hegemonic process. Moreover, the analysis of the discursive construction and instrumentalisation of t

<p>The indigenous of the Amazon region of Ecuador unite against the petroleum industry and destructive resource extraction practices in order to preserve environment and indigenous cultures. Since the 1990s, the indigenous movement of Ecuador has played out in the international arena and become a transnational movement, which includes social actors from the international legal, human rights, and environmental communities. This transnational movement exemplifies identity politics through the projection of ethnicity and essentialized signifiers of indigenousness. Indigenous actors, Ecuadoran

Abstract:

Healthy ageing is associated with a gradual decline in several cognitive functions, including processing speed, inhibitory control, memory, executive functions, and problem solving. However, the trajectory of ability in numerical cognition in older age remains unclear. Some research investigating exact skills such as arithmetical problem solving have found declined numerical abilities in older age due to reduced access to effective strategies. However, other research has indicated stable or even enhanced mathematical and arithmetical abilities in older age. Furthermore, limited research is ava

Abstract:

En psychologie, l’expérience de la migration est principalement étudiée sous l’angle des risques qu’elle comporte. Dans le cadre d’une approche socio-culturelle et historique du développement, elle peut être considérée comme une transition psychosociale propice à la personnalisation (Baubion-Broye et al, 2013). Le croisement des modèles de la socialisation et des ressources symboliques respectivement développés par Malrieu (2003) et Zittoun (2007) permet de considérer le rôle étayant des œuvres (Meyerson, 1948) dans le développement des sujets engagés dans une transition telle que la migration

Abstract:

Critical research in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) involves a delicate balance between two paradigms. On the one hand, the researcher strives to unearth and explain processes of systemic inequality and perpetual marginalization, as English language learners worldwide strive to accumulate linguistic and cultural capital. On the other hand, the researcher must recognize that learners have the right to invest in English, imagine future identities, and conceptualize their journeys as language learners as connected to a “better life story” (Barkhuizen, 2010; Darvin & Norton, 2015).

Abstract:

It is universally recognised that humans process speech and language in chunks, each meaningful in itself. Any two renditions or assimilations of a given sentence will exhibit similarities and discrepancies in chunking, where speakers and readers use pauses and inflections to mark phrase breaks. This thesis reviews deterministic and stochastic approaches to phrase break prediction, plus datasets, evaluation metrics and feature sets. Early rule-based experimental work with a chunk parser gives rise to motivational insights, namely: the limitations of traditional features (syntax and punctuation

Abstract:

The thesis adopts a structural and systematic approach to the study and analysis of colour terms in Flaubert's fiction.The Introduction highlights how Flaubert has come to be regarded as a problematic writer and how much existing work on his colour terms is in some way lacking in clarity. I proceed to fill this gap in Flaubert studies by elaborating a method of analysis of colour terms which clarifies how meaning is produced by the text. The method of analysis comprises eight stages which are systematically worked through as one considers eleven variables, one or several of the latter coming i

Abstract Title: SFI- individualized? A qualitative study on students who combine SFI with work. A report published by the Government regarding the individualization of the education of Swedish For Immigrants (SFI) has shown that the individualization of SFI studies is essential for students who combine their studies with work. The report also arises a problem, namely that there are largely SFI students working in parallel with their studies that choose to cancel their SFI studies. This became the starting point for our study. What is requested in the SOU report is individual adaptation to a

Abstract:

This thesis seeks to understand how public narratives about women facilitate and constrain the achievement of gender and development goals, using South Sudan as a case study. The international community is committed to achieving gender and development goals such as women’s empowerment, education and employment. The gender and development literature suggests that realising such goals requires understanding local cultural contexts. In particular, the literature often views traditional elements of local cultural context as obstacles (although some critical scholars question the idea of a traditio

Abstract:

This study is concerned with social semiotic theories of learning and literacy with respect to the development of understandings about the purpose, nature and interpretation of semiotic objects to which children are introduced when very young, and which retain long term educational significance. The focus of the study is on the multimodal nature of children's activity around such texts. A high level of independent control over the interpretative process and the process of learning itself is demonstrated. The hypothesis that this involves an epistemological disposition, a need to mean, underlie

Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2017. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=232409.

Abstract:

Many scholars who have studied nations and nationalism have observed that nationalist movements draw upon mythologised narratives of figures from their nations' pasts to build a sense of national identity and to articulate their vision. Drawing upon the ethno-symbolic approach to nations and nationalism, this thesis seeks to identify the major hero myths, as one form of mythologised narrative, drawn upon by the Provisional IRA during the period of conflict in Northern Ireland between 1969 and 1998. In so doing it examines the origins and development of those myths across the history of Ireland

Abstract:

CSR-rapporter ger företag olika fördelar och kan bland annat förbättra företags legitimitet. Till följd av att allt fler företag vill ta del av CSR-rapporteringens fördelar uppstår fenomenet decoupling. Företagen uppger att de ska göra något och engagerar sig i symboliska handlingar, utan att sedan genomföra några substantiva handlingar. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva och analysera sambanden mellan symboliska och substantiva handlingar, mellan finansiella resurser och substantiva handlingar samt föra en diskussion om skillnader och likheter mellan europeiska och amerikanska företag.

This study addresses an empirical gap by exploring the narrative resources Shanghai’s Post-80s young adults call on to construct their identities, given the historical situation in which they live.
