By its definition then, this study is "intrinsically incomplete" (Geertz, 1973, p. 29) and open and maybe vulnerable to challenges of methodological validity and reliability. In any case, I cannot simply get away with this "subjective" nature of the study merely by saying that "I don't care whether or not you agree with my approach. This is what I have found, anyway." Pilotta and Mickunas (1990) contend that "No science can be truly scientific unless it becomes aware of the operations used in the formations of logical objectives. Without exploring the acts of consciousness through which objectives are formed, logic cannot justify its goals and the method it employs for its realization" (p. 2). In this context, in the following, I would like to self-reflect on my research conduct and provide a biographical and procedural information in regard to the present study in the hope that those who happen to read

Sebeok — , a student of Charles W. Morris, was a prolific and wide-ranging American semiotician. Although he insisted that animals are not capable of language, he expanded the purview of semiotics to include non-human signaling and communication systems, thus raising some of the issues addressed by philosophy of mind and coining the term zoosemiotics. Sebeok insisted that all communication was made possible by the relationship between an organism and the environment in which it lives.

  • A Semiotic Analysis of RTÉ Television News
    Critical Social Thinking: Policy and Practice, Vol. 2, 2010 School of Applied Social Studies, University College Cork, Ireland Whose Frame Is It Anyway? A Semiotic Analysis of RTÉ Television News Mark Cullinane, BSocSc Abstract This article serves as an exploration of the extent, if at all, to which RTÉ Television News disproportionately embodies the attitudes, beliefs and assumptions of particular worldviews. Using a multiplicity of theoretical paradigms, the project sought to examine to what extent RTÉ News output could be considered ‘system-maintaining’ or ‘system-challenging’, and to detail the means by which the ‘preferred meaning’ of news- if one exists- is generated. Informed by the framework of framing/agenda- setting theory and semiotics, a combination of analyses were chosen and applied to uncover latent meanings embedded within news texts. A small selection of news texts concerning the nationalisation of Anglo Irish Bank in January 2009 comprised the data sample. The textual analyses revealed a strong preponderance of system- maintaining frames; frequent editorialising; an absence of competing discursive positions; and a heavily episodic orientation that focused on personalities and near- term sequences of events rather than broader systems-level analysis. Keywords: mass communications; semiotics; framing; television news. Critical Social Thinking: Policy and Practice, Vol. 2, 2010 Introduction 'Communication is too often taken for granted when it should be taken to pieces' (Fiske, in Hartley, 1982, p.xiii) The idea that the mass media possesses power over its audiences is not a new one, indeed, it has become a cliché. Identifying the precise nature of this power, however, is not an easy process.

  • Addressing Complexities in Early Childhood Education and Care: the Relationships Among Paradigms, Policies, and Children’S Rights to Participate
    Addressing Complexities in Early Childhood Education and Care: The Relationships among Paradigms, Policies, and Children’s Rights to Participate by Darya (Dasha) Shalima A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Darya (Dasha) Shalima 2017 ADDRESSING COMPLEXITIES in EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND CARE: THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PARADIGMS, POLICIES, AND CHILDREN’S RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE Doctor of Philosophy Darya (Dasha) Shalima Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This dissertation contributes to the field of Early Childhood Education and Care studies by providing the in-depth theoretical, document, and empirical analyses. The three types of analysis aim to build a case for the practical utilization of the critical paradigm. The critical paradigm is understood as a driving force for early childhood pedagogy which empowers educators, policy- makers, and academic scholars to apply a practical change in the field while acknowledging and sustaining the young children’s right to actively participate in matters related to their education and well-being. In this venue, the thesis provides (i) a thorough and productive analysis of the paradigmatic discussions presently available in the field of early childhood education; (ii) an argument for the practical application of the critical paradigm; (iii) an application of the paradigmatic debates to early childhood curricular and policy documents; (iv) and an empirical evidence from the field which has not been documented before and which gives insights to changes needed in policy directions and the preparation of pre-service early childhood educators.

  • Leg Child Revised TRES
    van Binsbergen, Wim M.J., 2020, The leg child in global cultural history: A distributional exercise in comparative mythology, at: http://www.quest- journal.net/shikanda/topicalities/leg_child,pdf In this paper we shall address an interessting and wide-spread mytheme that nonetheless is little known outside the circle of comparative mythologists: the leg child. In comparative mythology, the leg child is a mythical anthropomorphic figure born from a human body otherwise than via the normal birth channel; cf . van Binsbergen 2018: 417, where I wrote approximately (text considerably adapted): .... the mytheme of the leg child (NarCom 12b). This is a common motif, indicating a mythical figure who was born, not by passing through the normal birth channel, but through a thigh, armpit, waist, occiput or any other part of the human body except the birth channel. The type case is from Ancient Greek mythology, where Dionysus was sewn into his father Zeus's thigh, and born from there, after his mother Semele had been burned to death under the hot splendour of Zeus' lightning.(...) Quite a few mythical protagonists worldwide appear as leg children, including Ancient Egyptian Seth born from his mother's side, Thoth from his father's skull (Bonnet 1952: 702 f.), cf. Greek Athena from her father's skull (and when Hephaestus – who incidentally, as a smith was the very one to split Zeus’s skull on that occasion – in sexual arousal ejaculated against Athena's thigh who in disgust wiped off the sperm with a handful of wool and cast it to the Earth, who immediately responded by producing Erichthonius [ – by an ancient popular etymology, ‘Wool-Earthy’ – , ] this makes the latter also a leg child although he was reputedly borne by Gaia / Earth).

    Charles Sanders Peirce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 9/2/10 4:55 PM Charles Sanders Peirce From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Charles Sanders Peirce (pronounced /ˈpɜrs/ purse[1]) Charles Sanders Peirce (September 10, 1839 – April 19, 1914) was an American philosopher, logician, mathematician, and scientist, born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Peirce was educated as a chemist and employed as a scientist for 30 years. It is largely his contributions to logic, mathematics, philosophy, and semiotics (and his founding of pragmatism) that are appreciated today. In 1934, the philosopher Paul Weiss called Peirce "the most original and versatile of American philosophers and America's greatest logician".[2] An innovator in many fields (including philosophy of science, epistemology, metaphysics, mathematics, statistics, research methodology, and the design of experiments in astronomy, geophysics, and psychology) Peirce considered himself a logician first and foremost. He made major contributions to logic, but logic for him encompassed much of that which is now called epistemology and philosophy of science. He saw logic as the Charles Sanders Peirce formal branch of semiotics, of which he is a founder. As early as 1886 he saw that logical operations could be carried out by Born September 10, 1839 electrical switching circuits, an idea used decades later to Cambridge, Massachusetts produce digital computers.[3] Died April 19, 1914 (aged 74) Milford, Pennsylvania Contents Nationality American 1 Life Fields Logic, Mathematics, 1.1 United States Coast Survey Statistics, Philosophy, 1.2 Johns Hopkins University Metrology, Chemistry 1.3 Poverty Religious Episcopal but 2 Reception 3 Works stance unconventional 4 Mathematics 4.1 Mathematics of logic C.

While generally expressing an extreme anti-Christian sentiment embedded in themes of oppression and a glorified pagan past, it tends to distance itself from the neo-Nazi and Satanist elements that have come to be associated with its predecessor - Black Metal. While there are sometimes significant discrepancies across various websites as to whether such bands are Pagan, Folk, Black or otherwise, the constants are Black Metal musical style combined with local folk-style music and instrumentation, with lyrics referencing local Pagan legends and communicating a strong sense of local identity. This article explores Pagan Metal from the Basque Country, with the aim of defining what kind of identity it represents, and where that identity is situated within the context of a continuum of Basque identities.
