This article contributes to the study of legitimate authority and symbolic power in the media field by analyzing what I call the “validation repertoires” of audiences, that is, the various ways ...individuals combine in a single set of beliefs separate judgments of how valid or worthwhile they regard the opinions of a media worker with a specific institutionalized background. The empirical analysis focuses on cultural mediators and has three aspects: (a) mapping repertoires via latent class analysis, (b) explaining adherence to repertoires by links to positions in the field, and (c) predicting how repertoires affect the concrete use of recommendation systems. The results show that, currently, validation repertoires are mainly organized according to the degree of validation, not the degree of institutionalization; the validation of mediators appears to be multifaceted, influenced by cultural and media-related resources and generalized institutional trust; and repertoires have an impact on choice behavior.
Resumen La presencia de copistas musicales en instituciones religiosas puede documentarse desde tiempos medievales. El relevamiento de sus rasgos caligráficos particulares ha sido utilizado en ...función de datar las obras, indicar su procedencia y posibles vías de circulación. En este artículo propongo analizar la figura de los copistas de música de instituciones religiosas en Córdoba (Argentina), durante el siglo XIX, a la luz del concepto de “passeurs culturels”, postulado por Ares Queija y Gruzinski (1997), que posibilita dotar de espesor teórico al conocimiento de la labor de estos individuos. El análisis estará enfocado en el perfil social de los copistas y su intervención como “mediadores” en el complejo entramado que presentaron las prácticas culturales en su conjunto -y musicales en particular- en un contexto urbano, en las estrategias de participación y la visibilización que les otorgó el oficio de músicos-copistas.
En la zona maya del estado de Quintana Roo, México, se utilizan a menudo intérpretes empíricos, no profesionales, para tratar de establecer un cierto grado de comunicación entre pacientes y ...proveedores de servicios de salud, poniendo en riesgo la salud de los pacientes maya-hablantes. La necesidad de contar con profesionales expertos en comunicación intercultural en el sector médico ha sido subrayada por diferentes estudios internacionales (Pistillo, 2003, Angelelli, 2008, Hansen Y Alpers, 2010, Mauleón, 2015, Bancroft, 2016, Hsieh, 2016). Este trabajo examina las habilidades sociales y las modalidades profesionales necesarias para los intérpretes médicos interculturales, cuya formación académica es uno de los objetivos del próximo programa de Maestría en Traducción e Interpretación Intercultural, en gestación en la Universidad de Quintana Roo.
En este trabajo nos proponemos problematizar la dependencia de intérpretes y lenguaraces por parte de los funcionarios coloniales, como asimismo la aparente escasez de personas que pudieran ...desempeñarse como tales en el marco de actividades que involucraran a las sociedades indígenas. Posteriormente, analizaremos los casos de excautivas hispanocriollas que estuvieron en condiciones de desempeñar roles de mediación, que vivieron en cautiverio en las sociedades indígenas por periodos prolongados y que fueron rescatadas, o bien que escaparon por sus propios medios, en el contexto de las expediciones dirigidas al paraje de Salinas Grandes entre 1778 y 1810. Además, buscaremos determinar cuántas de estas mujeres fueron habilitadas por las autoridades, luego de regresar a sus lugares de origen, para actuar como mediadoras, y a qué situaciones estuvieron limitadas sus participaciones en este sentido, teniendo en cuenta que, con frecuencia, los funcionarios quedaron a merced de traductores de mensajes poco confiables.
This paper is a first attempt to examine the history of the Greek French-language press of the first half of the 20th century. At this preliminary stage of my project, the paper makes an inventory of ...this period and aims to identify its main tendencies in order to refine its periodisation, establish a typology and list the main actors who are responsible for this editorial production.
Abstract
Though current research on the film remake phenomenon acknowledges an underlying industrial process, it rarely analyses it. Therefore, building on expert interviews with people working in ...the remake industries of the Low Countries, this article places the production aspect of the film remake process central. The findings suggest that the manner in which these cultural mediators describe and evaluate the film remake mirrors popular discourses and seems to affect the production process of film remakes themselves. It was found that the phenomenon is generally seen as the result of a lack of originality, authenticity and is, moreover, highly commercially driven. These aspects were found to sometimes function as a license for initiating remake projects. However, next to the financial benefits, other personal and creative rationales were advanced. Additionally, the element of localization was deemed as one of the most essential tactics in the creative process. Finally, distributors appear to be crucial figures in the emergence of film remakes in small geo-linguistic film markets.
Background: Compared to the general German population, refugees in Germany are a high-risk group for trauma spectrum disorders. Currently, many barriers exist for the implementation of a ...screen-and-treat approach for mental disorders as part of the routine health care provision during the early stage of the immigration process.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to develop and test a systematic screening approach to identify individual refugees in need of mental health care during the initial immigration phase.
Method: 167 newly arrived refugees underwent a screening interview with the Refugee Health Screener (RHS) carried out by Intercultural Therapy Assistants (ITAs). The ITAs were supervised by psychologists at a reception centre in Bielefeld, Germany. A subsample of 48 persons participated in clinical validation interviews.
Results: Findings demonstrated the need for and feasibility of a systematic screening during the initial immigration phase. However, established cut-off values of the RHS had to be adapted and the screening procedure had to be adjusted due to the needs of a significant number of refugees in severe psychological crises.
Conclusion: A systematic screening that is applied shortly after arrival facilitates the early identification of refugees at risk of developing mental disorders and may be helpful to prevent chronic symptom development and an aggravation of psychological crises.
A systematic complementary screening procedure during the initial immigration phase was found to be useful for the identification of refugees in need of mental health care.
The procedure could be implemented both safely and efficiently in conjunction with the initial medical check-up for recently arrived refugees.
Responding to the needs of the refugees immediately following their arrival in Germany, we adjusted the cut-off of the screening instrument and suggest to explicitly include a detection procedure for severe psychological crises.
