Las políticas de inclusión social han sido analizadas desde muy diferentes perspectivas, pero en este artículo queremos presentar el análisis de las mismas desde el marco del Análisis del Discurso y la Lexicometría. Para ello nos hemos centrado en el discurso de dos de sus principales actores, aquellos que las diseñan (políticos) y aquellos que las ejecutan (técnicos), recogidos mediante entrevistas en profundidad y grupos focales que se hicieron en el trabajo de campo de un proyecto de investigación más amplio sobre la Políticas Sociales autonómicas en financiado por el por el Ministerio de Economía y Empresa (MIMECO) de España, en la convocatoria de proyectos de Investigación+Desarrollo 2014-2017. Para el análisis del discurso desde parámetros léxicos hemos utilizado el software Iramuteq, el cual, mediante un sistema de codificación y de análisis multidimensional estadístico, nos permite profundizar y categorizar los mundos léxicos presentes en los discursos. En este caso, establecemos una comparativa entre los mundos léxicos de los políticos y de los técnicos con respecto a las políticas de inclusión social en Andalucía. El resultado de la aplicación de esta metodología pone de manifiesto, en un primer momento, la oportunidad que ofrece la lexicometría como una primera forma de acercamiento a las representaciones sociales de los distintos actores, que posteriormente habrán de ser analizados en mayor profundidad con otras metodologías cualitativas. En un segundo momento, ya centrado en el caso analizado, la investigación nos muestra la presencia de dos discursos sobre las políticas de inclusión social en función del perfil del actor que lo enuncia, comprobándose en muchos casos, la distancia entre la percepción teórica (políticos) y la percepción pragmática (técnicos), así como la necesidad de que ambos sean compartidos en aras de una mejora de la eficacia de las políticas de inclusión social.Social inclusion policies have been analyzed from very different perspectives, but in this article we want to present their analysis from the framework of Discourse Analysis and Lexicometry. To this end, we have focused on the discourse of two of its main actors, those who design them (politicians) and those who execute them (technicians), collected through in-depth interviews and focus groups that were done in the field work of a broader research project on autonomous Social Policies funded by MIMECO in the call for R&D projects (2014-2017). For the analysis of discourse from lexical parameters we have used the Iramuteq software, which, through a system of coding and statistical multidimensional analysis, allows us to deepen and categorize the lexical worlds present in the discourse. In this case, we establish a comparison between the lexical worlds of politicians and technicians with respect to social inclusion policies in Andalusia. The result of the application of this methodology shows, at first, the opportunity offered by lexicometry as a first way of approaching the social representations of the different actors, which will later have to be analysed in greater depth with other qualitative methodologies. In a second moment, already centred on the case analysed, the research shows us the presence of two discourses on social inclusion policies according to the profile of the actor who enunciates them, proving in many cases the distance between the theoretical (political) perception and the pragmatic (technical) perception, as well as the need for both to be shared in order to improve the effectiveness of social inclusion policies.

The research proposes a study of the social representations of leprosy, we seek three times to understand the sense of every society and their dynamics in relation to disease. The first in the city of Sobral/CE, where we carry out research in the years 2008 and 2009; the second moment in the city of Mogi das Cruzes/SP, with a man who has gone through several periods of hospitalization and overcame the stigma through work aimed at manufacture of prosthetic patients amputees; and the third time in New Delhi in India, where we find the largest number of leprosy patients. The places chosen for the field work were selected after repeated bibliographical research, readings of scholarly articles, medical texts and physicians about the disease and mainly with the data of the World Health Organization (WHO) and of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). We investigate the sociocultural reality of people afflicted by illness and how these could be with the disease.

Similarities And Differences

This qualitative study analyses the social representations of health, illness and care, considering the similarities and differences between 30 nurses from different regions. We conducted three intra-ethnic focus groups and two inter-ethnic focus groups. This study shows similarities between the nurses’ representations. All participants believed that the psychological sphere affects individual’s health, that disease is an imbalance between physical and psychological factors and that interpersonal aspects are essential for care. Differences emerged regarding many facets. Eastern European nurses placed more importance on psychological aspects, South American nurses emphasised interpersonal relationships and Italian nurses focused their attention on economic aspects and their impact on health, illness and care.

In the twentieth century, Emirdağ (Turkey) witnessed extensive emigration and is now home to the ‘zero generation’: a group of elderly people who stayed behind when their children moved abroad. We investigate how these elderly people, with at least one child who left the country, evaluate their situation as they have grown older. Using fieldwork observations and in-depth interviews, we found that this group mainly associated the migration of their offspring with loneliness and exclusion from society, due to separation from their children and changes in the traditional family culture. The respondents clearly note a shift in the social position of family elders in Turkish culture, from highly respected to being ignored and looked down upon. While this change in status might be experienced by all elderly inhabitants of the region, feelings of distress were reinforced by an emerging discourse which suggests the migration project is a failed enterprise. The constraints their children experience in the immigrant country have led the zero generation to rely less on them and become more dependent on their own resources. Future research on ageing, migration and transnational care should focus on the different ways in which migration systems evolve, and the long-term effects on social inclusion of all generations.

ABSTRACT Faculty Development seeks to support educators in a range of functions in the areas of teaching, research, extension, management and evaluation. The aim of this study was to evaluate faculty development based on the social representations constructed by the teachers of a medical course. A qualitative survey was carried out, using the analytical method of discourse analysis and social representation as a theoretical contribution. Twelve teachers were randomly selected, and a semi-structured interview was conducted for the data collection. The responses, recorded in audio, were transcribed and discourse analysis was performed with the aim of mapping the social representations constructed by the subjects. The social representations were grouped into two categories: institutional development and personal development. Within the category institutional development, three subcategories were identified: Guiding principles of Faculty Development Programs, Teaching-learning strategies used in Faculty Development Programs, and Skills to be developed by faculty. Within the category Personal development, two subcategories were identified: Development as a person and as a social being, and Professional development. Over the years, a variety of social representations have been constructed in relation to the nature of teaching in medical education, but it is only in recent decades that managers and teachers of educational institutions have begun to focus more closely on this topic. In the present study, it was observed that for faculty development to be effective, the educator must have a desire to learn; however, institutional support and recognition are also essential. Faculty Development Programs must be flexible and adaptable, to meet the needs of the institution and its professors, and encourage reflection on their practices, though the exchange of experiences, the development of interpersonal relationships, and collaboration. However, it is vital to identify and facilitate the development of leadership skills, and to systematically evaluate the process and the results achieved. This will encourage teachers to develop in their academic careers and thereby increase the professionalization of teaching. Managers and teachers can sustain a shared mission to win resources, adapt to change, strive for excellence in the leadership of the organization in a national and international context, and consequently, provide a quality medical education.

Ecolinguistics is also related to the dimensions of the linguistic social environment. Language only lives in the human brain and in its social use by members of the language community. In this regard, changes in the linguistic and cultural environment, in addition to changes in the physical environment, clearly also change the richness of language cognitively and practically in social-verbal interactions. The aims of this study was to determine the lingual form of the Balinese eco-collection of flora and fauna in the dynamics of food culture, the structure of the procedural ecotext of flora-based local food processing in Balinese verbal recordings and to find out the social religious meaning of native food supporting ecotourism in the tourism industry. This research is descriptive qualitative in accordance with the nature of the symptoms and the objectives to be achieved. The data of this research were obtained through field work. Structured in-depth interviews, observations, and recordings are the mainstay of this research. Interviews were conducted in the context of applying the method of personal experience, namely the method (excavation) of personal experience. The results show that the value of the data in the form of verbal (treasury of the lexicon and terms as well as the text of procedures for processing and preserving local traditional foods based on the environment, then meaning becomes the focus of data analysis work. Language stores experience, knowledge, processes and products of human adaptation as ecological creatures In its interrelationship with its environment, the Balinese language embodies culture, marking the unique, cultural-lingual power of its people for centuries.

The Impact

This article describes a fieldwork case study which integrates religious studies with various discourse analytic methods, to examine how contemporary Christian identities are represented in conversation. Based on interviews and focus groups with 46 residents of a small town in rural Canada, this research is primarily concerned with religious talk – in particular, with the “social practice” (Fairclough and Wodak, 1997: 258) of “talking [religious] identity” (Hadden and Lester, 1978). In this article, I will review briefly how “identity” is conceptualized in contemporary discourse analysis studies, before describing both the challenge of selecting appropriate linguistic methods for the investigation of religious identity, and the impact upon my research of adopting particular methods.

Most people agree that discrimination is wrong, but the boundary between ‘discrimination’ and ‘not discrimination’ is often highly contested in everyday practice. We explore the social representations of ‘discrimination’ as an object of study in qualitative interviews and focus groups with both minority (self-identified as BAME [Black, Asian, and minority ethnic] and/or gay men) and majority (self-identified as White and/or heterosexual) participants ( n = 54). Our analysis suggests three repeated and pervasive argumentative lines in social representations of discrimination: (1) that there are two distinct kinds of discrimination (hard vs. soft), (2) that you need to understand the intention of the actor(s), and (3) that a claim of discrimination requires strong evidence. We outline the macro Functions of these resources to argue that each was non-performative: They appeared to be tools to make claims of discrimination, but in practice they were much more effective at making claims of what was not discrimination.

Abstract In recent years we have witnessed in several countries the rise of new and unexpected forms of collective mobilization and activism. The main goal of this article is to discuss the role played by digital devices and online platforms in how activism is currently being represented and practiced by young people. Our reflection is empirically grounded on a recent exploratory research project carried out in Portugal. This project, using an array of qualitative methods (ethnographic observation, in-depth interviews, etc.), had as its main purpose to explore young people’s digital activism. In this article we will discuss this project’s findings, analyzing not only the uses of digital media within a set of activist practices, but also the social representations built around this issue by different social actors participating in several activist groups.

Abstract Objective: To describe the contents and structure of the social representation of cancer. Method: A qualitative study based on the Theory of Social Representations, carried out in a High Complexity Care Unit in Oncology. Data collection included a socio-occupational and clinical characterization questionnaire and free evocations form from 100 cancer patients in chemotherapy treatment and in-depth interviews with 29 of them. The analysis was performed using EVOC software. Results: One hundred (100) patients participated in the study. The social representation of cancer has the words normal, difficult disease, death and fear in its central nucleus. The apparent ambivalence between the continuity of life and its finitude as structuring meanings of this representation enables establishing an inferential hypothesis that relates normal disease to the possibility of treatment, control and cure of cancer, while the fear of death remains in the representational field linked to the disease, which has a difficult treatment to cope with. Conclusion: The social representations of cancer based on the presented interrelationships provide reflections which may contribute to increasing the individual and social care of patients with malignant neoplasm and their family in health services.
