Returning culture to peacebuilding : contesting the liberal peace in Sierra Leone
No full textThis thesis investigates the advantages and limitations of applying culture to the analysis of violent conflict and peacebuilding, with a particular focus on liberal peacebuilding in Sierra Leone. While fully aware of the critique of the concept of culture in terms of its uses for the production of difference and ‘otherness,’ it also seeks to respond to the critique of liberal peacebuilding on the account of its low sensitivity towards local culture, which allegedly undermines the peace effort. After a careful examination of the terms of discussion about culture enabled by theoretical approaches to conflict in Chapter 2, the thesis presents a theoretical framework for the analysis of cultural aspects of conflict and peace based on the processes and effects of meaning-generation (Chapter 3), developing the conceptual apparatus and vocabulary for the subsequent empirical study. Instead of bracketing out the recursive nature of cultural theorising, the developed approach embraces the recursive dynamics which arise as a result of cultural ‘embeddedness’ of the analyst and the processes which s/he seeks to elucidate, mirroring similar dynamics in the cultural production of meaning and knowledge. The framework of ‘embedded cultural enquiry’ is then used to analyse the practices of liberal peacebuilding as a particular culture, which shapes the interaction of the liberal peace with its ‘subjects’ and critics as well as framing its reception of the cultural problematic generally (Chapter 4). The application of the analytical framework to the case study investigates the interaction between the liberal peace and ‘local culture,’ offering an alternative reading of the conflict and peace process in Sierra Leone (Chapter 5). The study concludes that a greater attention to cultural meaning-making offers a largely untapped potential for peacebuilding, although any decisions with regard to its deployment will inevitably be made from within an inherently biased cultural perspective
Piero della Francesca: il disegno, l'architettura. Annotazioni
No full textIl saggio, in catalogo di mostra, prende in considerazione i disegni dei vari testimoni del De prospectiva pingendi di Piero della Francesca per rilevarne le differenti modalità esecutive.

Collaborare per capirsi nel contesto di apprendimento teletandem
No full textIn questo studio si indaga in che modo partecipanti a dialoghi orali
diadici mediati dalle tecnologie Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP;
es. Skype) e finalizzati all’apprendimento linguistico contribuiscono
alla realizzazione dello scambio comunicativo (Kasper 2004; Leone
2009, 2012; Vassallo & Telles 2006). In particolare, oggetto di analisi
sono le sequenze di discorso orientate alla comprensione e alla spiegazione
di contenuti di un messaggio. Lo studio è empirico e basato
su dati autentici rilevati in un contesto di apprendimento chiamato
teletandem. Teletandem prevede sessioni comunicative tra un parlante
madrelingua (o esperto in una lingua) e un suo partner nativo (o esperto)
in un altro idioma allo scopo di potenziare competenze ricettive e/o
produttive nella lingua di studio di ogni partecipante
Humility Expression and its Effects on Moral Suasion: An Empirical Study of Ocasio-Cortez’s Communication
No full textHumble leadership can be described as a positive psychological feature that allows leaders to admit their limitations, be open to new ideas, and give a voice to others while also recognizing their merits. The present study (n = 268 participants) explored the persuasive effects of a female politician communicating a humble stance by considering the role emotional displays at play (joy, calmness, sadness, and anger) when discussing a moral issue (hosting immigrants). The results revealed that the politician elicited positive emotions and evaluations of her competence and benevolence, especially when exhibiting a sad facial display, by contributing to the intention to accept the moral gist of her persuasive message. Overall, these 'gendered' effects are discussed in relation to the 'political authenticity', which can be perceived as high especially when the humble message is connected with several social reasons, as is the case with gender or social status. © 2021 Francesca D'errico et al., published by De Gruyte
