Frequently, “Critical psychologies” question the ideological and political framework that develops and legitimizes certain mainstream psychology. Nevertheless, it is still a field of knowledge which has not been fully differentiated from its crisis –mainly- because an exhaustive ontological categorical demand has not been made. From the analysis of Ian Parker’s La Critical Discourse Psychology (CDP) and Critical Psychology, we observed that the causes and consequences of the introduction of Scientific realism as an intermediate stage in the elaboration of what has been called radical meta-psychological project or a general critic of psychology. We reviewed, from the quantitative method Multi-RPYS References, an approximate of 51 papers and 10 books of Ian Parker's work analyzed by the web program RPYS i/o. From the start, CDP and PCL avoided the short form of the critic, which is barely a differentiation from the totality of dominant psychology. Instead, they announced, implicitly, some methodological and theoretical tools which could be useful to prevent its definite adhesion to post-modernism, where "anything goes" is its most manifest condition.

In this essay, I analyze the rise of post-earthquake activism in L’Aquila as an exemplification of counterpublics’ transformation into social movements endowed with “poetic” agency. Engendering “poetic agency,” for a counterpublic and for a social movement alike, denotes being able to bring forth change in the world and  being able to generate change in a creative, “poetic” way. In this sense, poetic assumes a connotation that opposes  the Habermasian perspective of a public sphere in which only a  rational-critical discourse can be engendered as check on the State. In the case of L’Aquila, I contend that the post-earthquake social movements’ capability of effecting  change in public life through poiesis has been enhanced by the possibilities of the Web 2.0 and by the activists’ acknowledgement of new ways of political participation in a world of spectacularized politics. In this instance, strategies such as the exploitation of alternative “public screens” on the web and the use of “minor rhetorics” to contrast the mainstream media portrayal of the post-disaster situation worked together in a creative and spontaneous effort to improve the condition of the people living in the area affected by the quake.

This research aimed to determine whether religiosity was able to be a moderator and strengthen the role of attitudes on CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) as the originator of patient satisfaction in ‘sangkal putung’ treatment. The research applied a quantitative method with accidental sampling technique. The number of research respondents was 90 people aged 18 to 67 years old who visited the ‘sangkal putung’ at least twice and conducted treatment in the last 10 years. The research instrument used was SACAM (Scale for Attitude towards CAM) with the reliability of 0,843, PSQ-18 (Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form) with the reliability of 0,859, and the Religiosity Scale was modified and rearranged based on the dimensions of religiosity by Stark & Glock with the reliability of 0,929. The research indicates that religiosity has a significant effect to strengthen the role of attitudes toward CAM as the originator of the treatment satisfaction of ‘sangkal putung’ patients. It means that the higher patient’s religiosity, the higher role of attitude towards CAM as the originator of the treatment satisfaction of ‘sangkal putung’ patients. Around 32,1% of the attitudes role towards cam works as a source of patient satisfaction of ‘sangkal putung’ treatment.

The aim of this study is to analyze 26 articles that include “motivation” in their titles and “distance education” as a topic in the Web of Science database in SSCI and ESCI indexed educational sciences journals between 2010 and 2020, and thus to determine the current situation and trends of motivation research in distance education. According to some findings, the most articles on motivation in distance education were published in 2018. Achievement was the most examined variable associated with motivation. As a theory, self-determination theory is the most widely used theory. The country with the highest number of articles is the USA, the most used research method is a quantitative method, and the most used data collection tool is a questionnaire. Lastly, some suggestions are offered to shed light on future research.

The relevance of the problem of realization of the frames Victory and Defeat that are linguistically represented in the sports Internet-discourse is due to the fact that in the recent decades scholars both in Russia and abroad develop the theoretical grounds of discourse analysis and pay special attention to different kinds of institutional and professional discourses, and sports discourse possesses two important features aims and participants; thus, sports discourse belongs to the group of institutional discourses and is of great interest for researchers. The aim of the research became the identification of methods that are applied in order to change the focus of the frame; in the course of the study the author solves the following tasks: description of the constituents of the cognitive event model, carrying out linguistic research of sports Internet-discourse fragments and defining the pragmatic goals of the author that in turn influence the frame as a whole. The match reports which are found in the news sections of sport teams` websites were used as the research materials. The study is devoted to the headings of the reports and introductions to them. It is these parts of the articles that contain information about the match outcome that is the basis for the frames under analysis. In the article the following methods were applied: critical discourse analysis as well as quantitative and qualitative methods in the framework of content analysis. Lexical units that were singled out were analyzed from both morphological and semantic perspectives. The study of modern sports Internet-discourse has demonstrated that the authors of match reports tend not only to convey the information about the match results to the readers of the web-site but also to influence their opinion by forming a particular interpretation. The conducted analysis makes it possible to conclude that an intentional shift of focus frame is achieved with the help of various lexical units, word combinations and, especially, evaluative adjectives.

This article rethinks Michel Foucault’s relation to religion by situating his engagement with the ‘death of God’ in relation to his ongoing efforts to frame critical discourse in consistently immanent terms. It argues that a certain, indirect ‘theological’ horizon is the paradoxical and problematic limit, for Foucault, of the possibility of a thoroughgoing immanent discourse in his earlier work, due to the paradoxes of the death of long-duration of God (and ‘man’). The relation of his work to religion thus emerges less as a productive question, for Foucault, than as a problem to be resolved if his critical project is to be viable. The article argues that his later work is informed by a significant re-framing of his relation to religion, signalled in comments he makes at the end of his 1978 lecture, “What is Critique?” and performed in his engagements with Christian mysticism, the ‘political spirituality’ of the Iranian revolution and early Christian practices of the self. Foucault is shown to perform a complex openness to religion as ‘other,’ which negotiates the ‘religious problem’ haunting his early work, even as it must repeatedly risk undermining his project. It is concluded that the relation to religion in Foucault’s work, less reflects resonance with aspects of a religious worldview, than it stages and clarifies the challenge of thinking otherwise immanently after the death of God.

With the rise and spread of the Web 2.0 culture the nature of “old”/“traditional” social interaction, including shame and shaming, is changing as more and more attention is given to online vs. offline social interactions. Amongst those on-going changes lies the construction of Shaming 2.0, i.e., a public attempt to impose shame on “the Other” by using Web 2.0 technological capabilities. Thus, Shaming 2.0 can be defined as a pragmatic social negotiation regarding the boundaries of what is allowed and forbidden, what is acceptable and unacceptable while performing on-line and off-line social interactions. The illustration of Shaming 2.0 was conducted by utilizing Israeli rabbinical court decisions in the era of Web 2.0 cultural features. Via the implementation of critical discourse analysis, the rise of the ‘Virtual Mirror’ is portrayed side by side with “new” social interactions behind the scenes of Shame 2.0.

In olden days the web technology was using HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) for creating web pages. The AJAX has changed the traditional paradigm of Web development by giving partial page update facility. Ajax is short-form of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It is a bundle of technologies that combined together to create new, dynamic, responsive and powerful web applications. Most of the giant internet-based companies such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Amazon etc. are developing web applications based on Ajax. Even though major internet based companies working with Ajax, there is still ignorance about this technology among many developers. Many developers find it difficult to handle those bundle of technologies to build Ajax application.

This article is a review of recent contributions in critical psychology, and its close cousins, critical social psychology, critical community psychology and liberation psychology, to understandings of the human response to climate change. It contrasts critical psychology with mainstream psychology in general terms, before introducing a critical psychological perspective on climate change. Central to this perspective is a critique of the framing of individual behaviour change as the problem and solution to climate change in mainstream psychology, and a related emphasis on identifying ‘barriers’ to pro-environmental behaviour. This framework is argued to be reductive, obscuring or downplaying the influence of a range of factors in shaping predominant responses to climate change to date, including social context, discourse, power and affect. Currently, critical psychologies set out to study the relative contribution of these factors to (in)action on climate change. A related concern is how the psychological and emotional impacts of climate change impact unevenly on communities and individuals, depending on place-based, economic, geographic and cultural differences, and giving rises to experiences of injustice, inequality and disempowerment. Critical psychology does not assume these to be overriding or inevitable psychological and social responses, however. Critical psychologies also undertake research and inform interventions that highlight the role of collective understanding, activism, empowerment and resistance as the necessary foundations of a genuine shift towards sustainable societies.
