  Discourse, power and spirit - between reason and emotions

  Le pouvoir est un moyen d'influencer les types de relations et interactions entre les individus. Celles-ci peuvent amener en retour une partie à imposer sa volonté à une autre partie, quels que soient les motivations et fondements à l’origine de cette volonté. Au vu de la nature sociale de ces rapports, on peut postuler que les pratiques discursives gardent la trace des dynamiques de pouvoir. L’analyse du discours peut par conséquent constituer un angle d’approche pour la compréhension des relations et des positionnements hiérarchiques. Le rapport entre discours et pouvoir implique également une entrée en interaction avec la conscience de l’autre.

  Discourse, power and mind: between reason and emotion

  Discourse can be addressed as a vehicle for power, a positioning practice which enlightens the role and the relationship among the speakers. Power is a way of defying and measure relationships and interactions between individuals. These relations and interactions lead one part to affirm its will against another part, no matter on what bases this will is grounded. Language and communication can be seen as tools to define and convey power dynamics, as well as to establish a status quo. Hence, discourse practice analysis is a tool to approach and understand the hierarchical relations and positions in different discourse fields. The relationship between discourse and power implies an interaction between the subjects and their selves. Power positions are often held by influencing the judgment of other people, which requires dealing with their minds.

  6th Ethnography and Qualitative Research Conference

  The Conference embraces and endorses a broad, ambitious view of ethnographic research. Ethnography is understood as an inquiry into the processes, implications, and meanings of social life and culture in groups, organizations, and institutions across diverse social spaces and settings. Accordingly, contributions to the conference can be based on a variety of methods, including but not limited to participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group, auto-ethnography, visual ethnography, discourse studies, video-based research and other forms of inquiry inspired and informed by ethnographic sensibility. The Conference welcomes theoretically informed and methodologically sound proposals that contribute to the substantive knowledge of the social world.

  Great officers in the Angers region

  Questo primo convegno del progetto Europange, che si occupa dello studio e dell’informatizzazione degli ufficiali angioini, si propone di tornare su un tema chiave nello studio degli ufficiali angioini, che tuttavia ha ricevuto un’attenzione limitata in tempi recenti: i grandi ufficiali del Regno o gli ufficiali sovralocali. Mentre per alcune aree come la Provenza (i siniscalchi) si può disporre di studi aggiornati o comunque di un quadro complessivo dei meccanismi di funzionamento, per altre, come la Toscana o la Morea, si sa davvero pochissimo. Si tratta dunque di indagare in chiave comparativa una fondamentale cinghia di trasmissione tra il sovrano e gli ufficiali locali per il governo dei territori inclusi nello spazio angioino, attraverso cui si possono cogliere le diversità, ma eventualmente anche le analogie o addirittura i modelli nelle differenti aree della presenza angioina.
