Social Theory - Science topic

Diversos autores han estudiado los desafí­os que enfrentan los inmigrantes en su integración social. Pierre Bourdieu analiza cómo el capital social y el habitueñs influyen en su adaptación, mientras que Robert Putnam destaca el papel de las redes comunitarias. Zygmunt Bauman explica la incertidumbre en la migración desde la modernidad líquida, y Saskia Sassen relaciona la globalización con los movimientos migratorios. Alejandro Portes, por su parte, explora las redes sociales y la asimilación. Estas teorí­as ayudan a comprender cómo factores estructurales y culturales afectan la inclusión de los inmigrantes.

Buen día, con relación a las Epistemologías del Sur, me parece que es importante considerar los trabajos relacionados con el concepto de extractivismo epistémico, desde Grosfoguel, también, los conceptos de comunalidad y la relación con las identidades colectivas, por ejemplo, la práctica pedagógica en comunidades de Mesoamérica...

A terminal degree is often attained by those who lack prestige and 'elite' status, usually at great cost in terms of time, investment, and loss of revenue during academic and post-doc years. Aside from physicians and long tenured professors (near retirement), most people I know with terminal degrees are still within the middle and upper-middle class. Those who seek terminal degrees aren't typically doing it for clout - some specialty areas & personalities, of course - but for most it's pure passion for the field or subject, and a requirement to getting a 'seat at the table' to create desperately needed change or spur advancements.

In many areas it is the new requirement, or has already been mandated for future implementation, the terminal degree will be required of all clinical practitioners above frontline or entry level roles. Insurance companies are demanding more and more credentialing to justify approval, provision, and payment for services. Regulators want more education and training to ensure quality services, improve the odds of positive outcomes. First it was all RNs had to become BSN, then BSN needed to get their MSW. Physical Therapy was MPT level, now DPT is required for most jobs, especially leadership positions. Social work: BA/BSW, now it's MSW, LCSW preferred (wider scope of practice = more ROI), DSW highly desired/preferred for academic, senior leadership, and macro level work. Teachers were BA/BS, then BA/BS with licensure and special certifications, then many districts and states pushed for all teachers to obtain their MEd, and again, we see positions in senior leadership typically require a terminal degree.

When practitioners such as social workers and psychologists leave "the field" and transition to the academic world, we almost always take a significant loss in salary, obtaining the employer desired/required terminal degree is the best way to make up the difference and move you closer to your prior salary (but make no mistake, we almost never earn in an academic setting what we'd earn in other sectors). When it comes to breaking down the barriers and busting through doors, the doctorate is often what's necessary if we want to be the ones to dismantle the systems perpetuated by gatekeepers who likely are the elite - children of privilege, or those who have attained great wealth & prestige - and use their position to determine opportunities for advancement (ie: admission to programs); it's well established that those institutions are ruled by the upper echelons of the sociodemographic hierarchy.

In essence: the learner is at the mercy of the gatekeepers and while some legacy admissions and nepo grads exist at the doctoral level, for most of us, it's motivated and driven purely by passion for what we do. That said, as more of us from marginalized and/or low-income backgrounds complete our grad and post-grad, our children will be inclined to follow in our footsteps, which can lead to the perception of elitism when really, it's just modeled behavior and the protective factors instilled in children who receive the unconditional positive regard of an adult.

The Systemic Quality of Life Model from Shye* is a general theory for defining, conceptualizing, and measuring human quality of life in its wide sense, encompassing cultural, social, physical, as well as mental well-being, dear Khaleda Mamdouh

It is based on Faceted action system theory (FAST) , a general theory, or metatheory, which, on the basis of elementary considerations, identifies the generic functioning modes of behavioral systems: conservative, integrative, adaptive, and expressive .

Mostly omitted in all my given links on your Khaleda Mamdouh query is the role and design of the monetary system (=infinite money creation vs. finite physical resources).

I think you should include some historical research on the rise of cities and the destruction of village life in you work. This is an inherent feature in many civilizations and has not so much to do with a particular economic system. You find the destruction of village life also in socialist and communist economic systems.

James S. Coleman ?

In addition to Mills, I suggest Karen Ho's ethnographic research on Wall Street. This could be a good start. https://books.google.kg/books?hl=en&lr=&id=UbQFDAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA29&dq=karen+ho+studying+up&ots=fN1lUto95M&sig=cm4Wjq9Dp5v0isQK1W-SwoT8pW8&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=karen%20ho%20studying%20up&f=false

Another starting point should be the volume edited by François Denord, Mikael Palme and Bertrand Reau; "Researching elites and power: Theory, methods, analyses"

The Corona pandemic has created negative effects socially, as domestic violence increased, divorce cases increased, shops were closed, causing an increase in the rate of poverty and unemployment, especially in poor communities as a result of the imposed ban, schools and universities were suspended and places of worship were closed, in addition to the psychological state to which the individual was exposed, which He still lives in this condition, in addition to social stigma.

Goffman's theory of interaction, which is based on the idea that how people interact with one another is based on social norms, rules, and expectations. Counsellors are often operating within a framework of rules and expectations, much like Goffman's theory of interaction describes, so I think this theory might be applicable and useful in the context of counselling. The relationship between counsellor and client in counselling is often an integral part of the counselling process, and Goffman's theory of interaction might be relevant to how this relationship is established and maintained.

Theory is a lens through which we view the phenomena highlighted in research. like we see a statue we can see from many sides, that's the theory. while social theory is a theory that is closely related to social phenomena that occur such as social exchange theory (Thibaut & Kelley, 1959) we see a context of exchange of benefits that occur from the exchange process. besides that theory can be Assumptions, Concepts, Units of analysis, and Relativity in a study. The goal is to strengthen the phenomenon that we raise as a research topic

I'd encourage social psychologic theories/frameworks as they are easy to understand and leverage. Two examples include:

Theory of Planned Behavior: There was a recent paper that reexamined the Theory: The Theory of Planned Behavior: Selected Recent Advances and Applications - PubMed (nih.gov)

Transtheoretical Model: The transtheoretical model of health behavior change - PubMed (nih.gov)

A broader medical sociologic theory - The Fundamental Cause Theory is informative on broader issues related to agency in managing health risks: Social conditions as fundamental causes of disease - PubMed (nih.gov)

El colectivo homosexual siempre ha sufrido marginación o exclusión en muchos de los aspectos de la vida, privándolo del acceso a numerosos recursos serían de gran utilidad. A pesar de no haber pensado nunca en esta cuestión, tras reflexionar un poco te das cuenta de que es cierto, y que además no solo pasa en este ámbito sino en muchos más, algo que es cuanto menos curioso estando en los tiempos en los que estamos.

Para mí, gran parte de que esto ocurra se debe a su organización. Es decir, los Servicios Sociales Especializados integran en ellos una gran variedad de sectores y colectivos, y claramente no todos se encuentran desde el inicio de estos. Sin embargo, por algún motivo estos colectivos como la discapacidad, mayores, infancia, etc. se consideran más aptos o válidos para ser tratados dentro de estos servicios, pasando a considerar al colectivo homosexual como una minoría frente al resto de colectivos o como menos inadaptados a nivel social que el resto.

No obstante, es cierto que actualmente existen diversas leyes que tratan de “amparar” al colectivo, pero no es suficiente con eso. Se debe hacer hueco a este colectivo dentro de organismos como los Servicios Sociales ya que por desgracia a día de hoy siguen siendo excluidos tanto por la sociedad como por el Estado y contar con un lugar en el que sabes que puedes apoyarte ayuda bastante.

Por último, mencionar que, aunque la situación tiene que mejorar, cada vez se producen más avances en lo referido a este colectivo tanto en la sociedad, como en las familias, institutos, etc. Instituciones en las que cada vez se trata de “normativizar” más esto.

The difference may not lie in the person but in society. At what moment does particular behaviour become to be considered as so deviant that it is a crime? For example, slavery was considered normal and acceptable by “society” for centuries and then became a crime. That moment was a different one in different countries. Keeping a slave was within the Netherlands was deemed illegal there in the 14th century and in some Middle-east countries it only became forbidden in the 1980s. The crime of rape within a marriage is not considered a crime in countries where men have legal ownership of their wives and daughters.

Mental disease is the same, someone is deemed mentally ill if their behaviour deviates too much from what is culturally appropriate. Having visions or hearing voices can be perceived as pathological in one society and be perceived as having special powers in another.

When both mental illness and criminality are both defined by the surrounding culture, you cannot look at the individual only to determine when they cross that boundary if that boundary is set up by society. It is the old question of mad or bad, and even sad.

Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Church unequivocally condemn homosexual sexual relations, seeing in them a vicious distortion of the God-created nature of man.

"If anyone lies with a man as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination" (Lev. 20:13). The Bible tells about the severe punishment to which God subjected the inhabitants of Sodom (Gen. 19:1-29), according to the interpretation of the holy fathers, precisely for the sin of sodomy. The Apostle Paul, characterizing the moral state of the pagan world, names homosexual relations among the most "shameful passions" and "lewdness" that defile the human body: friend, men on men doing shame, and receiving in themselves the due wages of their error" (Rom. 1:26-27). "Do not be deceived: neither the Malachis, nor the homosexuals...they will inherit the Kingdom of God," the apostle wrote to the inhabitants of corrupted Corinth (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). The patristic tradition just as clearly and definitely condemns any manifestation of homosexuality. The "Teaching of the Twelve Apostles", the works of Saints Basil the Great, John Chrysostom, Gregory of Nyssa, Blessed Augustine, the canons of Saint John the Faster express the unchanging teaching of the Church: homosexual relationships are sinful and subject to condemnation. The people involved in them do not have the right to be members of the church clergy (Basilius the Great, pr. 7, Gregory the Great, pr. 4, John the Lent, pr. 30). Turning to those who have stained themselves with the sin of sodomy, the Monk Maximus the Greek cried out: “Know yourselves, cursed ones, what a foul pleasure you have indulged in!... Try to get behind this most vile and foul pleasure of yours as soon as possible, hate it, and whoever claims that it is innocent, anathematize eternally, as an opponent of the Gospel of Christ the Savior and corrupting its teaching. Cleanse yourself with sincere repentance, warm tears and almsgiving and pure prayer... Hate this wickedness with all your soul, so that you will not be sons of damnation and eternal destruction.

Discussions about the position of the so-called sexual minorities in modern society tend to recognize homosexuality not as a sexual perversion, but only one of the "sexual orientations" that have an equal right to public manifestation and respect. It is also argued that homosexual attraction is due to individual natural predisposition. The Orthodox Church proceeds from the unchanging conviction that the God-established marriage union of a man and a woman cannot be compared with perverted manifestations of sexuality. She considers homosexuality to be a sinful damage to human nature, which is overcome in a spiritual effort leading to healing and personal growth of a person. Homosexual aspirations, like other passions that torment a fallen person, are healed by the Sacraments, prayer, fasting, repentance, reading the Holy Scriptures and patristic writings, as well as Christian fellowship with believers who are ready to provide spiritual support.

Treating people with homosexual inclinations with pastoral responsibility, the Church at the same time resolutely opposes attempts to present the sinful tendency as a "norm", and even more so as an object of pride and an example to follow. That is why the Church condemns any propaganda of homosexuality. Without denying anyone the fundamental rights to life, respect for personal dignity and participation in public affairs, the Church, however, believes that persons promoting a homosexual lifestyle should not be allowed to teach, educate and commanding position in the army and correctional institutions.

Sometimes perversions of human sexuality manifest themselves in the form of a painful feeling of belonging to the opposite sex, resulting in an attempt to change sex (transsexualism). The desire to refuse belonging to the gender that the Creator bestowed on man can only have detrimental consequences for the further development of the individual. “Sex reassignment” through hormonal influence and surgical operation in many cases does not lead to the resolution of psychological problems, but to their aggravation, giving rise to a deep internal crisis. The Church cannot approve of this kind of "rebellion against the Creator" and recognize artificially changed gender as valid. If a "sex change" occurred to a person before Baptism, he can be admitted to this Sacrament, like any sinner, but the Church baptizes him as belonging to the gender in which he was born. The ordination of such a person to the priesthood and his entry into a church marriage is unacceptable.

It is necessary to distinguish from transsexualism the incorrect identification of gender in early childhood as a result of a medical error associated with the pathology of the development of sexual characteristics. Surgical correction in this case does not have the character of sex change.

Changes and transformations of social−economic systems in this era are rooted in science and technology progress and changes . Now days, the survival of organizations requires finding solutions and new ways of dealing with problems which very dependent on innovation, invention, creation of products, processes, and new managerial methods. What has become increasingly apparent to researchers is that when pursuing new opportunities with limited resources, the entrepreneur must use innovative approaches in the face of these uncertainties

Dear Bassey Ebenso

Education systems are different in the world, but in European systems that I know, I would say that students are quite mature enough to understand sociological theories starting with the 11th grade of high school.

Here is an interesting critical review:

Maybe would be interesting to pay attention to the vision of George Ritzer in his 1995 book 'The McDonaldization of Society'. And, in order to better understand Rizer's theory, it would be appropriate to deepen Max Weber's theory of rationalization.

Here you can find a summary of Ritzer's theoretical view: https://us.corwin.com/sites/default/files/upm-binaries/16567_Chapter_2.pdf

The operationalization of digital capital is crucial in order to research digital inequalities. Digital capital, according to the definitions of leading authors in the field of digital sociology, agrees very well with Bourdieu's analytical focus on how capitals convert into each other, which may explain how new forms are being created inequalities or maintain existing ones. As for concrete case studies in the digital sphere, digital capital offers some handy theoretical tools that are more appropriate and specific than classical Bourdieu notions such as habitus or cultural capital. Changing the nature of the Internet and modern technologies requires both flexible theoretical concepts, and existing one's definitions and conceptualizations of digital capital can serve as a potential response to challenges of digital case studies. However, digital capital needs to be further expanded to include elements of digital culture precisely because it could adequately encompass online culture and digital products, such as online memes that are becoming increasingly popular and diverse. Recent works dealing with digital inequalities in Europe and the world show that digital inequalities in many countries can be perceived through the same social factors.

Dated, though still a useful introduction to the subject - Ryszard Stemplowski (ed) Europe and Latin America: Looking at each other (Warsaw: Polish Institute of International Affairs, 2010). Several contributions compare development strategy in Latin American and Eastern Europe from historical and (near) contemporary perspectives). Some consider the extent to which counties of Latin America and Eastern Europe became 'laboratories' for policy models. Chapters written mainly by social scientists and historians. There is also a companion volume.

Hi Sameera, yes, from what you describe, you use a deductive approach to analyzing your data. From theory to data. Regarding this approach, I recommend you review texts on qualitative content analysis by Philipp Mayring, in which you can find out how from predefined categories you analyze your data. However, I also recommend adopting an abductive approach to analysis, which would allow you to go from theory to data and from data to theory, in a game of constant interpretation.

Hi, you can review my contributions. The are other authors such as Michela Mari, Sara Poggesi, Siri Terjesen that have also several analysis on the topic

L Kurt Engelhart I totally agree with you, theory must proceed from the top down, from the most abstract to the most particular. If the theoretical frames from various disciplines don't converge, perhaps it is because we have not yet been able to identify an integrative framework, with a higher level of abstractness depth. It therefore remains a task for the future, for innovative research in the area of social theory.

Ultimately, ideology determines how we make sense of things. It provides an ordered view of the world, our place in it, and our relationship to others. As such, it is deeply important to the human experience, and typically something that people cling to and defend, whether or not they are conscious of doing so https://www.thoughtco.com/ideology-definition-3026356

Dear Lila.

The policy of land transformation in the structure provides for four blocks: environmental policy, social policy, economic, scientific and technical with a clear target for regulation in the formation of the land system balance of contradictions of economic, social, scientific and technical, environmental and other aspects of social development, crisis prevention phenomena, ensuring the desired uniformity of society in land reform.

Thanks Keith Brownlee. Yes, it is helpful. What I like about this paper is its focus on social identity in different contexts and group situations. As far as I’m concerned, this allows for a bit more analytic variety, but without deviating too much from more traditional social identity perspectives. That said, I still feel that social identity theory and the notions of ingroup and outgroup are a bit restrictive for my own research. Hence, I developed a simple internal–external distinction, which merely suggests that some represent an internal perspective, which indicates that some individuals or a group possess epistemic privilege (e.g., have access to their own experiences and thoughts: Keith Brownlee has direct experience of what it is like to be a university lecturer), and some represent an external perspective, whose standpoint can only be observational, analytic or based on others’ thoughts and experiences. Both perspectives may be heterogeneous (e.g., just because we both [Keith and Julius] share the identity of being university lecturers, doesn’t mean that we share the same professional experience, ideas about academia or any allegiance).

GENERALIZATION OF EPIDEMIC THEORY. AN APPLICATION TO THE TRANSMISSION OF IDEAS

W GOFFMAN, V A NEWILL

Good Morning Mario Radovan

As a youth(ish) I can say, I echo your questions regarding Philosophy, though I may shine a different light and offer my concern too. Currently, I am going for my Dual Major in Political Science and Philosophy and throughout my courses there is certainly been a resounding disinterest in inquiry. In a way, to your point of the Philosophy of Technology, I'd say it is now more a Faith of Technology. Such "belief" does away with all reason and holds onto dogmatic tendencies to elevate technologies usefulness and effectiveness.

Your mention of Marx is interesting as I'd say the proliferation (rightly so) of Sociological studies over Philosophical studies is seemingly synonymous with the advancement of technology and our very civilization. Philosophy, for me, is a interpersonal journey and discovery, I conjure up images of Rodin's The Thinker, as the quintessential philosopher. This is one who may sit, not just for a lifetime but for eternity, just simply thinking and pondering; how mesmerizing, what could be find within the realm of such a mind! But lo, in the time of the European Revolutions for both Liberty and Industrialization, the individual took the back seat to the collective and so Sociology seemed to replace deep Philosophical debate on the mantle of studying human intellect and reasoning.

More to your question though, I do not know where Philosophy is in the Modern World and to some degree, I do not believe it jives with technology. I have read some interesting books that speak of why to a degree, the notion of asking questions and inquiring is losing its luster. Off the top of my head I can think of two books; The Death of "Why?": The Decline of Questioning and the Future of Democracy written by Andrea Batista Schlesinger and also Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World written by Anand Giridharadas.

The Death of Why... looks at technology and American's relentless pursuit of answers over questions. Technology allows any question to be answered instantaneously without any input from the user, mind you a few hits of the screen or yelling at Siri. We seek the simple quick and easy fix. Asking questions appears to be hard for the average person now a days, and further it seems not to provide anything fruitful. I can say with all of the knowledge I have gained, it has only made me more pessimistic and jaded than most people I know. I remember reading her book and feeling she spoke as a Soothsayer of the soon to come dystopic visions of Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 or even Huxley's Brave New World.

Winners Takes All is not so much about Philosophy but it does speak to the ever going power of the new "elites" (being the owners of technology) and how their approach to solving world problems is by making them as easy as possible and a win-win for everyone. There was a chapter regarding the difference between Public Intellectuals and Thought Leaders ; the former are the critics of society and seek a deeper exploration into the why's and how's of society, the latter creates a very specific message that tends to leave out challenging the power dynamics and status quo.

I believe both of these books are helpful in a way of explaining where Philosophy has gone. Though I fear, because I am looking into Graduate School, that the Art of Philosophy is taking the same road as the language of Latin; it feels as though it is becoming a dead language. I have been making attempts to pursue this but if I may be honest, the current is not pushing people to be driven by inquiry and if anything, technology has allowed us to run our minds on autopilot.

There absolutely needs to be a reemergence of Philosophy in General and of Technology and I look forward to the future that could be with all those commenting here and the thinking we can achieve!

Sincerely,

Burke Donnelly

I realized that you can study their interplay between reductionism and emergence in this book by Ilachinski, which enables readers to dive deeply into the design of ABM models:

https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/5531

It speaks volumes as you read through it all.

The external, or conscious, part of culture is what we can see and is the tip of the iceberg and includes behaviors and some beliefs. The internal, or subconscious, part of culture is below the surface of a society and includes some beliefs and the values and thought patterns that underlie behavior.

Hall suggests that the only way to learn the internal culture of others is to actively participate in their culture. When one first enters a new culture, only the most overt behaviors are apparent. As one spends more time in that new culture, the underlying beliefs, values, and thought patterns that dictate that behavior will be uncovered. What this model teaches us is that we cannot judge a new culture based only on what we see when we first enter it. We must take the time to get to know individuals from that culture and interact with them. Only by doing so can we uncover the values and beliefs that underlie the behavior of that society

Semiotics is by far the more robust toolbox, because it allows one to conduct social scientific inquiry in a way that is not divorced from -- but rather connects with -- the natural sciences.

In principle I'm just agreeing with Rashmi Pramanik above, but I wanted to add something a little more simply responding to your final comment. "Research"

in general is the gathering and sorting of information, and "Social" means (in the simplest form) having to do with people, you don't need explicit theory to gather information but you do to sort it. But whether you recognize it as theory, you are already applying theory (through epistemological choices, taxonomy/category, etc) in determining which information to gather, which things count as 'social', but that isn't necessarily evolutionary, nor is it likely to be the same thing for all researchers/information gatherers.

There is a very good model which I used in one of my papers. It was proposed by Prof. Reem Bassiouney (2012). It uses a number of discoursal and structural tools to analyze the identity of the speaker or how the speaker is trying to establish the identity of another party.

Hi Daniel

I agree to Pauls first impression. Sociologists think that each person has its individual roles which he has to play. These roles are determined by four main paradigmas. Homo sociologicus, Homo oeconomicus, Emotional Man and sort of an Identity defending type. These are, as they say in common sociology parted in what you "want" (Logic of consequeantiality, emotional and or "identity defending") to do and what you "should" (what does society expect for proper behaviour) do. But all of these types exist simulataneously and function reciprocally. So why shouldn't there be a role interconnected with strong loyalty feelings and trust hiding in an extraordinary industrious swimmer, someone who puts effort in to something, he is keen for being the fastest swimmer in the world- kind of type. That would affect his body and therefore connect outward appearance with habitus based social "boundaries".

Greetings

Erik

You may get some information from National Commission for Women (Delhi)!

You might like to try a variation of the unsolvable tracing task used by Roberts et al (2019). It's more typically referred to as a 'frustration tolerance task' or an 'ego depletion paradigm' than a stress induction per se, but it serves a similar purpose. Other challenging cognitive tests (e.g. serial sevens task) can also be used in the same way.

I think a single theory is not sufficient to explain the whole phenomena. Each theory explains different aspects of phenomenon, or it looks at this phenomenon from different perspectives.

There are group pages on Facebook for People seeking their other half, and I have not seen specific pages for marriages. There are group websites with topics related to health, nutrition, cooking, home services, parenting advice, for people bringing up children, etc. Whether social media portals help or harm the married life and for families depends on how they are used by each individual. If social media portals are used to contact other people in the family, with friends, they are a source of important information, they can fulfill a useful role. however, using socialm media portals may also have a negative impact, because some people may become addicted to using social media portals, using smartphones or other devices with access to the Internet, if the time spent on viewing them is relatively long compared to other people classes, and especially towards classes and duties related to family and professional life.

Best wishes

Hi Irene! This link from Oxford may be helpful in your search for articles:

You can get some idea from this book.

Communication of Innovations: A Cross-Cultural Approach

Currently, dynamic development of social media portals on the Internet is being implemented.

For young people using smartphones, social media portals are one of the main sources of information.

Probably the next stage in the development of social media portals will be the implementation of artificial intelligence to these portals and to search engines and the creation of applications of the type of interactive advisors on individual Internet information pages.

How can this development affect education and pedagogy in the future?

I agree with Alistair. You need to modify the topic either to 'suggest 'Exploring the adoption of IFRS for SMES: A case study of ....'. A PhD should bring about a new knowledge or experience that is not obvious from the beginning. Try to read further and find out in clear terms and succinctly what are the issues at hand you are trying to find solutions to.

Such a good question! Martin Hebert points to an issue that was identified (under the term decolonization) in Tuck & Yang's (2012) article, "Decolonization is not a Metaphor." As those authors write, "Decolonization brings about the repatriation of Indigenous land and life; it is not a metaphor for other things we want to do to improve our societies and schools." Yet, as Martin pointed out, the lumping together of separate but related concepts provides authors with a convenient way to talk about a vast array of social issues with some coherence. At the same time, though, that lumping leaves authors open to criticisms about ignoring the concerns posed by capitalism, imperialism, and so forth. And as a conceptual "shorthand," it may serve as an erasure of some of the exact problems that use of a colonial or decolonizing analytic lens may strive to illuminate.

All good & well for me with your relational approach. My only invitation would be: do not neglect the "situs" in the site. There's a powerful spatial metaphor in it, which relations alone tend to pass over in silence…

It's not clear what your question is really seeking, and there could be many possible answers, from ethnomethodology to philosophical hermeneutics to critical realism, to structural functionalism to semiotics to autoethnography. Are you drawn to any particular method? Do you have a particular population or sample in mind? Why are you drawn to qualitative methods? Are you interested in understanding experience and context, or explaining connections and causes? Is what you do with the findings a major factor? Anyone undertaking qualitative research would benefit from reading H. L. "Bud" Goodall's Writing Qualitative Inquiry, which covers the integration of theory into narrative via experience, crosses disciplines, and exemplifies good writing.

Hi Sergio

See Arturo Escobar's "Degrowth, postdevelopment, and transitions: a preliminary conversation" (2015)

Also, Vandana Shiva's "Soil not Oil, environmental justice in an age of climate crisis" (2008)

Here from South Africa, the work of Patrick Bond will also be useful, especially in the context of social movement, as agents of 'bottom-up' transitions.

Hello,

This article may be of interest to you.

I think that model-based theories are ideas which substitute realities. This could have interest in theoretical exploratory research but less interest for real and objetive research.

Thank you everyone those were very helpful resources/answers 

The term "cultural adaptation" is problematic in the sense that it can refer to (1) cultural adaptation of the organization to the cultural of the people that have allowed the organization very existence to continue, (2) or the organization's attempt to change the culture of the people who have allowed the organization the very ability to exist within the culture (that is, the organization attempting to change the culture that has allowed its very existence).

I would be interested in the paper (as it stands).  This might be very important in areas like career theory - when are we willing to step into a new identity?

In this model, a switching equation sorts individuals over two different states (with one regime observed). The econometric problem of fitting a model with endogenous switching arises in a variety of settings in labor economics, the modeling of housing demand, and the modeling of markets in disequilibrium.

Social research often involves estimating the effects of a categorical treatment on a dependent outcome variable. Endogenous switching regression models are natural extensions of classical experimental designs, which allow tests of assumptions about the exogeneity of treatment effects from survey data.

Thank you so much this is really helpful 

I would suggest Moretti's network plot analysis at the Stanford Literary Lab site

 Hola Chuka! La identidad es un proceso abierto y no atado a una esencia, como dice Reza. Por supuesto, se realiza a través del lenguaje (imágenes, textos). En ese punto, es fundamental considerar dos cosas: primer, que la identidad es un proceso que posee una dimensión inconsciente,  ya que siempre es aquello que también nos viene dado y opera fuera de nuestra conciencia. En segundo lugar, es fundamental la dimensión del cuerpo, ya que es éste el territorio mediante el cual se llevan a cabo prácticas subjetivantes. En eso, el análisis del discurso tiene un vacío teórico.

Saludos!

Participatory Action Research is Participatory Action Research. It's intention is emancipation at the organisational and community level. For me, race, colour, creed, faith, religion etc is not the main issue. Far more, it is that 'all' who wish for or require representation and advocacy are represented. 

The attached chapter may assist my worldview - related to the action research part of it. 

Hello,

the question is very important to ask. it's related to measure the impacts of entrepreneurship programs on student' attitudes and intentions. studying the issue through time means to differentiate the immediate, short and long term.

Measuring the attitudes of students after taking entrepreneurial course is an issue. Their attitudes and intentions did not change during a period of three months for example. if you are interested, you can take a look to this: 

CDA is a bout locating the central Genre. in this context gender and identity are the major focus. linguistic constructs can be helpful in your analysis
