Narrative Career Therapy (NCT) is recognised in this paper as having relevance for career practitioners who are working to create meaning for their clients in complex work life situations. Re-authoring Career Narratives is described as a practice that involves principles of NCT and these principles contribute to the exploration of agentive development. Re-authoring Career Narratives is demonstrated to support clients to navigate the reality that career learning is lifelong and evolving. We propose that a NCT requires practitioners to place emphasis on the contexts in which discourse is developed which can facilitate greater awareness of a client's career identity and capacity to navigate uncertainty. We use a narrative research approach to explore how re-authoring practices assist clients to make career decisions. We recommend that re-authoring practices assist clients to reconstruct their stories and to gain insight into career identity as an evolving contextual phenomenon responsive to changing career and work landscapes.

This research shows the study of evidentiality as the conceptual-functional category responsible for demonstrating the source of information declared in a speech. The investigation of this linguistic category is based on reports from the newspaper "Juventud Rebelde" which shows the analysis of this journalistic genre as a textual typology that serves to observe the functions performed by the evidential units chosen in the construction of effects of contextual meanings generated by them, such as textual coherence and cohesion. The research is carried out from the functionalist basis of the Discursive-Functional Grammar of Hengeveld and Mackenzie (2008) and under the guidelines of a qualitative methodology supported by quantitative tools. It is aimed to identify the different uses of the citation and reportive subtypes (elements of the Interpersonal Level of the Grammatical Component) and the Contextual Component in discursive construction. This investigation contributes to study in depth this category from the functionalist perspective, which is under-researched in linguistic studies in Cuba. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research article identifies and analyzes the features that characterize the discursive context of the scientific production on the history of the Cuban printed press -especially the Diploma Works-, carried out from the Journalism careers of the Central University "Marta Abreu" of Las Villas and the University of Havana, between 2007 and 2018. Methods and techniques are used such as: bibliographic-documentary, qualitative and quantitative content analysis, bibliometrics, bibliographic-documentary review, semi-structured interviews and statistical processing of the data from the Libraries created in EndNote. The analysis of the Diploma Works chosen as a sample allows us to recognize the predominance of the studies of the journalistic message, with an emphasis on twentieth-century press media; the preponderance of qualitative research and the theoretical-methodological disarticulation that characterizes such research.

The written press in Algeria represents a discourse rich in strategies which serve to transmit information ; These are guided by social conditions. In this article we have attempted to study the discursive environment of a single strategy, which is the metaphor. By trying to elucidate the influence of society on the use of the metaphor but also the influence of the use of the metaphor in certain social conditions.

The subject of the article is the problem of describing the meaning of a word as a symbolic entity that is considered in the context of the requirements of modern lexicography. The analysis of the selected family words in terms of the cognitive, narrative and discursive aspects are intended to release the role of words as “node access” to the conceptual framework in accordance with the cognitive approach to semantics. The author also considers which model of the definition could best reflect the appropriate aspects of the word. The results of the contextual analysis included in the discursive frame enrich the cognitive dimension of the definition of the linguistic category. They reveal the existential experience of people, their perception and evaluation, that is, different domains interact in the conceptualization, which lies not so much in a single word, but in its discursive relationships with others

In this paper we deal with an area of possession in Spanish, that of the prenominal possessive adjective, one of the most frequently used resources to express possession in Spanish. We place special emphasis on the form that refers to the third grammatical person su(s), prenominal modifier of a noun with which it forms a noun phrase that expresses a relation of possession, in which the prenominal possessive refers to the possessor entity as that the noun refers to the possessed entity. We propose that this form performs a series of functions, additional to its basic function of possession, some of more syntactic basis, others related to pragmatic-discursive factors: i) it is a discursive resource of topic retrieval; ii) it is a disambiguating element in constructions in which it presents more than one possible referent in the context; iii) is a resource that in certain discursive contexts encodes possession with expressive values.

The coal miners' strikes of 1989 and 1991 in the USSR have received significant attention from scholars in the country and abroad that peaked in the 1990s. Drawing on the existing scholarship, I argue that our understanding of the strikes remains incomplete unless we consider these events in their proper discursive contexts, which were different for the two waves of strikes. I explore the All-Union daily, Izvestiia , and weekly, Literaturnaia Gazeta , as well as a Belorussian daily, Sovetskaia Belorussiia , in order to restore the discursive contexts and apply them as a tool to explain the miners' contradictory demands. From this contextualization, the wave of 1989 strikes emerges as a proto-class struggle played out within the peculiar sociopolitical conditions of Soviet society; while the strikes of 1991 appear as a result of the classical merging of the workers' movement with that of intellectuals and politicians, who at that time aligned themselves with neoliberal ideals.

Since the early years of 1950, which represent the development period of modern Iraqi art, the “return to the roots” movement has been an impartible mainstream in Iraq. The first generation of modern artists like Jewad Salim and Shakir Hassan Al-Said considered “cultural continuity” and the link between “tradition and modernity” and “inspiration from heritage1” as the main essence of their artistic creation and bequeathed this approach to their next generation. Having analyzed and described a selection of artworks of modern Iraqi artists, this paper discusses the evolution of modern Iraqi art, and aims to determine cultural and artistic continuity in modern paintings of Iraq. It also seeks to answer the questions that investigate the socio-cultural factors that underlie the formation of art and establish a link between traditional and modern ideas and lead to continuity in tradition. Therefore, the research hypothesis is put to scrutiny on the basis of Robert wuthnow's theory. According to Wuthnow, although configuration and the objective production of this movement is rooted in the “mobilization of resources”, the artistic content and approach of the painting movement (i.e. the continuation of the tradition along with addressing modern ideas) is influenced by factors such as “social Horizon”, “existing discursive context” and “cultural capital” of the painters. Research results that are derived from historical-analytical methods reveal that modern Iraqi artists used the four Islamic, pre-Islamic or Mesopotamian, modern source and folkloric sources to create paintings which were modern and Iraqi at the same time that could be definitely called “Modern Iraqi art”. The impact of these mentioned sources can be seen in form and content or generally in aesthetic values of these works which are obviously traceable in large exaggerated Sumerian eyes, dark and thick tracing lines in Abbasid painting, indigenous colors and amulet, letters, Islamic calligraphy, crescent, dome, and themes of the Karbala incident. It can be asserted that the Iraqi artist depicts the forms and contents that offer a strong link to “place”, which is “Iraq”, as the place is the most important element in maintaining and preserving identity.

The term emergence, or irreducibility, has been used in a great variety of senses over the years, and different senses are useful in different discursive contexts. In this paper the focus is on one specific context, that of methodologically oriented social theory, and the question to answer is, what might be the most useful sense(s) of emergent irreducibility in that field? To answer that question, key intuitions of emergence are first abstracted from the concept's history. Three main senses of the term are distinguished based on those different intuitions. Then the likely linguistic functions of emergence in each of those main senses are gauged in social theory and methodology. It is argued that one of the senses – here called "contingently epistemological irreducibility" – is in fact more useful as regards social scientific methodology than the others.

Utilizing the writings of Pierre Bourdieu and Sheldon Wolin, this paper introduces a special issue on ``Educational Rights and Entitlements.'' Its purpose is to characterize and critique `the box of liberalism' that both advances and constrains what is conceived and enacted in education. Following it are a set of significant contributions from the sixth biennial conference of the International Network of Philosophers of Education, August 1998, Ankara. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
