Editor: Lafuente,Sara Resumo: A broad range of concepts can be applied to the theme of board-level employee representation (BLER): ‘labour/industrial/workplace democracy’ (Hyman 2016; Conchon and Waddington 2015; Stoleroff 2016); ‘labour participation’ (Conchon and Waddington 2015); co-management or codetermination; ‘representativeness’ (Costa and Rego 2021); and ‘information and consultation’ (Estanque et al. 2020), among others (see also the introductory chapter in this volume). It is doubtful if any of these concepts can be analysed in isolation and so it is admissible (even desirable) to stimulate a ‘dialogue’ between them as a means of empowering the forms of worker representation in companies. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10071/36372 Título próprio: Forschungsstand zum Feld der grandes écoles Autoria: Schippling, A. Editor: Schippling, Anne Resumo: Das Kapitel stellt den Forschungsstand zum Feld der grandes écoles dar. Zunächst werden klassische Studien diskutiert, in deren Zentrum die bildungssoziologischen Studien von Bourdieu und seinen Mitarbeiter:innen zum Elitebildungssystem in Frankreich stehen. Es schließt sich eine Darstellung des aktuellen Forschungsstandes an, die sich in drei Linien aufgliedert: Studien zur Problematik der sozialen Selektion der grandes écoles; Studien, die das französische System der Elitebildung unter der Perspektive von Internationalisierung untersuchen sowie Studien, die beide Linien zueinander in Bezug setzen. Das Kapitel schließt mit einer Verortung der Arbeit innerhalb des Forschungsstandes. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10071/36179 Título próprio: Introduction to Part 5: possibilities of existence—making and changing subjectivities and (ancient) worlds Autoria: Castro, P. Resumo: This Part contains three chapters—(12) ‘How the Ancient World Learned to Sin’; (13) ‘Anchoring religious innovation: the social psychology of deification in Athens 307 BCE’; and (14) ‘Cyrus’ learning curve: views of adolescent psychology in Xenophon’s Cyropaedia’—all of them illuminating our understanding of the ancient world by taking us through very different time-scopes and textual ranges. Despite these differences, the three chapters share a common concern with two concepts that are central in social-psychological theorising—the concepts of anchoring, essential for the first two chapters, and cognitive dissonance—as well as an interest in neuropsychological research, prominent in the third chapter. In this introduction, I will highlight how anchoring is predominantly used as a how process—both in these chapters and in social psychology in general—whereas cognitive dissonance tends to be used as a why process, or with what we can call the ambition of explanation for prediction. However, cognitive dissonance can also function as a how process. In those cases it powerfully illuminates the psychosocial dimension, and is indicative of an ambition of processual comprehension. I will briefly highlight some notable differences between the chapters, while simultaneously substantiating this argument of mine. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10071/36133 Título próprio: Mediation and mediatisation of death and dying: A scoping review of the literature based on a decolonial perspective Autoria: Costa, B. F.; Azevedo, J.; Bernardes, S. F.; Garcia-Blanco, I. Editor: Pentaris, Panagiotis; Pitsillides, Stacey; Ghorbani, Hajar Resumo: Considering the central role played by the media in communicating information and meaning of the shared world, this book chapter aims to map the scientific production on the mediation and mediatisation of death and dying based on a decolonial perspective to describe the state of this field of media studies. This scoping review of empirical studies indexed in Web of Science and Scopus before May 2023 (n = 33) was guided by the Arksey and O'Malley (2005) recommendations and the PRISMA 2020 reporting guidelines for reviews (Page et al., 2021). The data shows a preponderance of publications on the Global North. The main research topics in the media are death (n = 18; 54.55%) and online mourning practices (n = 15; 45.45%). Most studies make casual and confused use of the concepts of mediation and mediatisation. We contend that the use and generalisation of results in the Global South require some caution. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
