In this contribution, I discuss aspects of discourse from a cognitive and complex perspective. I propose to understand discourse as a communicative, relational and identity space (CRIS) that is simultaneously structure and process. I then describe its creative potential to enable meaning construction of communicative situations, events, as well as the characterization of social relationships and interdependencies of the actors involved. By virtue of a series of conceptualizing operations or processes, discourse offers the necessary and sufficient links between the social phenomenon, the cognitive structure and the discursive instantiation. In a series of examples, I analyze in detail the conceptualizing process of framing and its relevance for the construction of recurring identity patterns in discourse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The conception of the indigenous university student is called into question when it takes place in the realm of academic perceptions inherited by colonialism. In this sense, this paper confers an open look at the identity reconstruction of the young indigenous person inserted in an environment of university academic studies. The theoretical reference is James Côté's concept of the identity capital. The methodology is framed in the reflective praxis of two pieces of research developed in the same space of academic guidance and through the life stories of students from different communities. It is not shown as a research report in itself but as an analytical excerpt from both projects. The results are descriptions of their self-conceptions and the training actions that are the product of their actions and decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the process of identity construction, people negotiate their differences and constitute common frameworks that allow them to coexist in a daily, historical and changing space. In this scenario, meaning is given to the interactions of daily life under common referents - identity - from which the subjects build their community identity. Our objective is to establish the mechanisms of identity construction of a mapuche intercultural school community. To achieve this purpose, we carried out a qualitative descriptive study. This study adopts the perspective of Discourse Analysis, the discursive productions of the social actors make up the corpus of analysis. The findings establish four referents of the process of identity construction of the intercultural educational community: 1) cohesion mechanisms, 2) common values, 3) forms of coexistence and 4) goals or purposes. Cohesion mechanisms are those elements that articulate the community around a common goal. Common values are those relevant principles agreed upon by the community that regulate its daily functioning. The forms of coexistence refer to the relationships that exist within the educational community that favor the development of its plans and projects. Finally, the goals or purposes correspond to the aspirations of the community regarding the intercultural educational option. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The subject of this work is the school production of multimodal artistic narratives in rural indigenous children of Santiago Mexquititlán, in the municipality of Amealco, Querétaro. It presents the processes and results of a qualitative research on the use of artistic education and creation with children from a native hñähñu village. The objectives were to motivate and generate different types of visual, verbal, and body narratives in the students that strengthen interaction with their environment and the construction of subjectivity, as well as claiming their indigenous identity origin and favoring oral expression. With theoretical and methodological foundations and verbal, visual, and scenic artifacts, supported by the narrative turn, educational ethnography, arts-based research and social reconstructionism, it exposes and analyzes various artistic activities with children from an indigenous school in 3rd and 4th grades. The findings, based on the evaluation from both the students and the researcher, led to the conclusion that the motivation and generation of the multimodal arts-based narratives, led to different stimuli and playful, cognitive and social processes in them with a very positive impact on their full and identity development as well as their awareness and active commitment to their world.

Results of experiences in the use of lifelines in higher education are presented. It is an autobiographical resource for the social construction of identity in initial teacher training. Likewise, it makes possible the reflection on the formative process in an intersubjective context. The methodology is qualitative, and experiences are analyzed on the elaboration and socialization of the lifeline. The participants were 60 students of Pedagogy in Special Education of the Catholic University of Temuco, Chile. The results show a narrative axis that articulates meanings and feelings during the elaboration process of lifeline. It is concluded that the lifeline is a resource for the recognition of oneself and others. This contributes to the development of reflective and socio-emotional skills. The collective dimension of the lifeline facilitates the emergence of empathy as a necessary competence for teacher training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the construction of ethnic identity through the language - and particularly the relationship between speaking Spanish and being Hispanic- in a group of second-generation Spanish speakers. We recognise the simultaneous affirmation of the speakers' multiple social identities and propose that the identity can be plural and hybrid; an identity that can be (re)constructed and negotiated linguistically through discourse in situated interactions, and in opposition to the cultural essentialism that associates identity with stable and homogeneous characteristics. Three second-generation Spanish speakers were interviewed as part of an exploratory study. The corpus of the interviews conducted, which used a semi-structured script with open-ended questions, has been analysed by method of thematic analysis from a social identity theory perspective. The preliminary results showed that the speakers' discursive behaviour becomes a negotiating tool between the use of language and communicative intentions regarding their identity positioning to themselves and to others. The study conducted allowed to obtain information on the use of different linguistic systems and code switching as tools used purposefully to index multiple cultural and ethnic identities.

In the process of building cultural identity, mythology plays an important role. This is the case of Malinche in Mexico and Queen Abla Pokou in Ivory Coast, two historical figures that are presented as instruments of analysis and understanding of their people. To highlight its founding role, the mode of creation of the two societies is investigated, bringing to light their similarities, their meanings and teachings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the reality of identity construction in Africa starting from some contributions of identity studies. It is stated that the African identity has been influenced by European colonialism, which imposed profound structural and functional changes in that continent in the political, social, ideological and cultural. In its central structure, the work discusses some contributions about identity, including those of Geertz, Barth and Gimenez; and, in light of these contributions, the identity construction in Africa is analyzed diachronically.

The aim of this study was to study the identity construction of inmate population from under Kelly's personal constructs theory. Through individualized interviews, a RepGrid, in which elements and constructs were planned in advance, was applied to 18 participants The selected elements denoted warmth and competence, according to the Stereotype Content Model. The analysis of the cognitive structure, conflicts and self-definition allowed identify relevant differences among inmates and in how their identities are construed throughout the process. These findings underscore the importance of using constructivist approaches to understand the life of prisoners as a means to improve interventions and social reintegration of this population.

This article explores a series practices and narratives in order to analyze the forms in which an Andean musical group is configured as community in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The fieldwork consisted of making music together with the group, trying to generate an intersubjective practice that questions the division of traditional empiricism. The community is expressed in values, defined as Andean, that model the types of interaction and organization of the group. These aspects are problematized through the link that the Arco Iris Sicuris Community engages with social organizations. Studying the type of links that the group generates and how the sicuris are organized allows me the reflection about the identity construction of the group and its members in a city historically defined as European and non-indigenous. I arrive at the conclusion that the community allows to build identifications that transform the daily practices of the sicuris, through the combination of ethnicized elements in and from the Buenos Aires City, with visions that establish Arco Iris as a different way of being in the world.

This article is a reflection about the mediated communication processes that occur among different cultures looking for understanding these processes from an intercultural perspective, since the media, from their globalizing processes and a Western world-view, have become one of the main agents in the social construction of reality. Theoretical grounds on the way a piece of news is spread when it has an institutional burden-from the State, which defends the identity of the Western culture-coming from the construction of an essential Westernalised cultural identity are discussed. A de-Westernalised intercultural journalism that would allow for the creation and teaching of ways to understand published news on "cultural difference" from a dialogical and heterogeneous point of view is presented.

The academic organization of university degrees, in the frame of the European Higher Education Area, has facilitated the constitution of teachers' teams (Zabalza, 2009; Lopez, 2007). This is one of the key points in the processes of organization and improvement (Lester and Evans, 2009; Bacharach, Washut and Dahlberg, 2008) of higher education, but simultaneously, a hanging topic for the difficulty in obtaining a culture's change of university teachers, also demarcated in slightly agile and flexible structures. The paper is focused in a research caught out a group of university teachers, with the aim to realize a diagnosis of the situation of the teachers' teams between the courses 2009-2010 to 2011-2012. The methodology used was the survey, with questionnaire and focus group. The results show that the organization in teachers teams is a reality perceived positively by teachers, but with problems and challenges that we have still further to go. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article enquires the relationship between the formation of "individual communicative lifeworlds" and the construction of identity in 22 semidirective interviews with Peruvian migrant domestic workers in Lima originating from the Andean regions. With the help of a combined linguistic and discursive analysis we demonstrate the way in which language ideologies condition and enable the formation of individual communicative lifeworlds of the speakers. The stigmatization of linguistic characteristics that are considered as typical of "Andean" speakers and the high esteem of linguistic forms considered as typical for people originating in Lima favour linguistic accommodation, but in order to explain all the variation in the corpus we need to take into consideration the individual linguistic and discursive positioning of each speaker.

The aim of this study is to explore the representation of the relationship that school children, who have frequent and repetitive aggressive behaviour, have with their parental figures. This is a qualitative methodology study from a clinical perspective approach that used two projective tests as tools for evaluation: the Family Test and the Patte Noire Test and a clinical interview. We found that aggressive behavior toward others may be manifestations of a psychological organization that experiences the other as a threat to their integrity; continuous sense of danger makes children misinterpret situations curbing the potential for development of social skills and self-recognition of their being.

Research in prisons usually focuses on the presence of psychopathology in prisoners. In our study, we focuse on the identity construction of the prisoner; specifically, we focus on how affects prisoners to stay in prison. To do this, we interviewed five prisoners, to whom we have administered the Repertory Grid Technique (Kelly, 1955/1991). We propose three elements for the Repertory Grid: I-before entering prison, I- being in prison and I when I'll released from prison; the other elements were elicited by the participants. The personal construct analysis of every prisoner's Grid, by means of the Record V.4.0. program, offers insight into the impact it has had being imprisoned on the construction of the identity of the prisoner. It also allows us to know how the prisoner anticipates their life in freedom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the possibility of addressing the issue of identity construction from the standpoint of Pierre Bourdieu's field analysis. The question addressed in the review is "how is field theory applied to identity construction?" Initially, a brief overview of the micro/macro and action/structure integration in contemporary sociology is presented together with Bourdieu's field theory. Then, the concept of identity is presented from the standpoint of distinguishability. Finally, and as an example, the authors discuss the application of field analysis to the theoretical and methodological approach of the medical field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article explores the identity construction and child socialization present in multicultural environments. It mentions the various issues affecting the children socialization processes. It examines the conceptual and theoretical thinking of important social researchers who are involved in these processes as well as the cultural characteristics of various social groups and their influence on the socialization of the new generations.

This paper aims to elucidate the role of late Antique poetry in the social construction of the Barbarian "other", a crucial point in the identity crisis of the late Roman Empire. To this end, I focus on Sidonius Apollinaris' (430/431-489 AD) caustic carmen 12, better known as "The Satire of Burgundians" (written around 461 AD). This poem -full of a bitter humour- shows the frustration of a nostalgic aristocrat, who -although eager to preserve the rich cultural legacy of the Roman world- must face the changes necessarily brought up by the appearance of this new "other" on the Western horizon. Ultimately, the poet is even compelled to confess the unfeasibility of his project, the impossibility of poetry. Taking the obvious ideological bias of this literary perspective as a starting point, I try to reconstruct the internal history of Burgundians, one of the most enterprising and creative human groups on the Proto-Germanic scene.
