Critical discourse studies for research on media and information literacy projects: An illustrated discussion of seven methodological considerations
No full textThis chapter provides an illustrated discussion of seven methodological considerations for researchers setting up a critical discourse study (CDS) of media and information literacy (MIL) projects. These considerations relate to the construction of a CDS-informed problematic (how to choose an appropriate CDS approach; how to identify relevant discourses), as well as to matters of data collection (how to select cases; how to draw boundaries around discourses) and data analysis (how to choose relevant units of analysis; why coding might be useful; how to analyze the political and ideological dimensions of discourse). This chapter illustrates the implications of decisions concerning each consideration with reference to a study of the MIL project of the European Association for Viewers Interests (EAVI). In doing so, the authors do not seek to (de)legitimize EAVI’s project but to demonstrate how CDS allows researchers to render the political and ideological dimensions of MIL discourses explicit, enabling democratic debates about the discourses that shape our world.This presentation is based on the following publication: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003045366-18/critical-discourse-studies-research-media-information-literacy-projects-jan-zienkowski-geoffroy-patriarche?context=ubx&refId=e4f3d215-3bbd-49d4-a494-b2fa9b539507info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublishe
Linking disinformation and democracy: results from a qualitative audience study
No full textThis EDMO BELUX Lunch Lecture, scheduled for 18 March 2024 from 13:00 to 14:00 CET, focuses on how individuals make sense of the nexus between disinformation and democracy, i.e., “info-democratic disorders”. Geoffroy Patriarche and Victor Wiard build upon the concept of “folk theory” and – responding to the call for more research on the reception of disinformation – present the final results of the EDMO BELUX qualitative audience study in Belgium and Luxembourg, which was carried out in collaboration with Thomas Jacobs and Daphné Chapellier. The recording of the Lunch Lecture is avaiable on the EDMO BELUX YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNOR7JJbnH
Virtual Shadowing, Online Ethnographies and Social Networking Studies
No full textDrawing from the debate on the challenges that networked communication poses to social research, the chapter offers a critical analysis of literature on online ethnography, and it presents a methodological approach, that we can name ‘virtual shadowing’, we have applied to the study of social media use among Italian adolescents.
Rooted in the broader methodological framework of online ethnographies, virtual shadowing chooses the ‘networked self’ (Papacharissi 2010) and the ‘network sociability’ (Castells et al. 2007, Wellman and Haythornthwaite 2002) as a specific research field, and it integrates a multilevel digital ethnography and the productive involvement of respondents. Following people in their individual and yet situated (both physically and relationally) consumption practices and performances, do we believe it is possible to find a somehow consistent field of inquiry where all the different possible media diets and repertoires (Hasebrink and Popp 2006) come to reality, finding a specific meaning, and becoming observable.
The methodology discussed was applied in different research projects carried out by OssCom (Research Centre on Media and Communication of the Università Cattolica of Milan), and within the PRIN 2009 titled ‘Online social relations and identity: Italian experience in Social Network Sites’

At the Crossroads of Hermeneutic Philosophy and Reception Studies: Understanding Patterns of Cross-Media Consumption
No full textThis collection of essays provides an overview of research on the social uses of media. Drawing on long traditions in both cultural studies and the social sciences, it brings together competing research approaches usually discussed separately. The topics include up-to-date research on activity and interactivity, media use as a social and cultural practice, and participation in a cultural, political and technological sense. This book explores three general areas of current scholarly study of the social aspects of media use. First, the introduction of interactive and so-called social media has had repercussions for the definition of media use, reception and even our perception of media effects. Second, the recognition that media constitute social practice, which utilizes media for its own goals, has been highly influential in communication research. Third, media provide many opportunities for participation in cultural and political issues. Yet media also shape participation in certain – and sometimes constraining – ways
Un livre reçu par le patriarche Athanase Ier et retourné à l’expéditeur
No full textThe (unedited) prooimion of the Philosophia of George Pachymeres permits the identification of this author with the addressee of a letter of Athanasius I in which the patriarch mentions returning a book to the sender on account of its contents. We can thus follow the development of the conflict between the two men and better understand the historical context of Pachymeres’s Philosophia.Le prooimion (inédit) de la Philosophia de Georges Pachymère permet d’identifier cet auteur avec le destinataire d’une lettre d’Athanase Ier, par laquelle le patriarche retourne un livre à l’expéditeur en raison de son contenu. On arrive ainsi à suivre l’opposition qui s’est développée entre les deux hommes et à mieux comprendre le contexte historique dans lequel la Philosophia de Pachymère est apparue.Golitsis Pantelis.
