From speech acts to communicative acts: Social network debates about sexual consent
These findings help illustrate how several social media debates about consent successfully fall into the Communicative Acts framework
“Nobody puts Baby in a corner” placing attractiveness in dancing coupled with alternative masculinities and affective-sexual relationships in Dirty Dancing film
The success and popularity of the film Dirty Dancing (1987) placed it at the center of research interest. Many articles have been published about it, including supposedly critical analyses interpreting it as classist and sexist (Giroux, 1989). However, none of these analyses present evidence about femininity and masculinity models and affective-sexual relationships developed in the film. In this paper, the main protagonist, Johnny, and his antago…
Social Intervention That Facilitates Recovery from Gender-Based Violence: Dialogic Reconstruction of Memory
Services for victims of gender-based violence are an interdisciplinary work space where the recovery of women and, thus, preventing their social exclusion are among the main objectives. Although previous scientific literature provides some indicators of the social impact of these services, that is, the improvements in the lives of these women, and allow them to advance in their recovery, it is necessary to deepen and broaden this knowledge. One o…
Dialogic scientific gatherings with mothers and teachers from a primary school: Raising awareness about the impact of gender and education research
Social science unveils new ways of engaging communities in science. However, it has not yet been analysed how dialogic scientific gatherings (DSGs), a community science action, involve communities to benefit from the research on two sustainable development goals: quality education and gender equality. Within the framework of the EU H2020-funded project “ALLINTERACT Widening and diversifying citizen engagement in science” (Flecha and ALLINTERACT C…
The Refuge-ED Dialogic Co-Creation Process: Working with and for Refuge-ED children and minors
A growing body of literature suggests that involving end-users in intervention research, including design, implementation, and evaluation, is associated with numerous positive outcomes. These outcomes include improved intervention efficacy, sustainability, and psychological growth among collaborators. The value of this approach and the recommendation for researchers to embrace co-creation in implementation and policies have also been recognised w…
Feudalism, meritocracy and sexual harassment
Scientific literature has clarified that the contexts of more intense power relations favor sexual harassment and impunity. This article presents the results of a research that has analyzed a legislation aimed at combating sexual harassment that preceded six months earlier the selection and evaluation of faculty. The communicative research methodology followed the criteria of social impact and creation, which are currently required by the Europea…
Promoting Admiration of Foucault Hiding his Defense of Rape and Pederasty
Foucault has been quoted as a great intellectual contributor to feminism and education, despite his defense of decriminalizing rape and pederasty. Since the MeToo movement, there is an increasing criticism of Foucault’s persona and works. However, in order to avoid recognizing their mistake, some authors say that Foucault’s defense of sexual violence was unknown before. This article shows this is not backed by evidence. Data was collected via int…
Recomendaciones para el apoyo de estudiantes Romanís en la Universidad
Pese a que la juventud gitana está alcanzando la educación superior con mayor frecuencia que las generaciones anteriores, una vez en la universidad enfrentan barreras específicas que limitan sus oportunidades educativas, dificultan su trayectoria académica y que no se han descrito en profundidad para el caso de España. El proyecto UNIROMA: Gitanas y gitanos en la universidad española financiado por el Plan Nacional I+D+i buscó identificar dichas …
Qualitative Methodology Innovation That Promotes Educational Success of Children of Immigrant Families in Disadvantaged Contexts
Most of the qualitative research aimed at diagnosing the educational performance of children of immigrant families in disadvantaged contexts does not address how such research can contribute to social impact. However, some research oriented to social impact has collected evidence of achieving improvement in schools implementing actions to promote educational success. This study is a qualitative meta-analysis of a line of research aimed at social …

It explains the process of transformation of a school in an underserved area in Catalonia seriously affected by the economic crisis and with a foreign population totalling 85%, of mostly Moroccan origin. Through a case study, elaborated following the precepts of the communicative methodology, (1) we iden…
Dialogue With Educators to Assess the Impact of Dialogic Teacher Training for a Zero-Violence Climate in a Nursery School
Research has revealed the importance of preventing violence from early childhood. Some quantitative analyses have studied the persistence of being an aggressor throughout the different educational stages and its relationship with criminal behavior in youth and adulthood. However, there is a need for qualitative methodologies that deepen the impact of preventive actions from early childhood. Dialogic teacher training (DTT) is based on reading and …

Exploring the Barriers: A Qualitative Study about the Experiences of Mid-SES Roma Navigating the Spanish Healthcare System
Whereas the topic of the 'cultural sensitivity' of healthcare systems has been addressed extensively in the US and the UK, literature on the subject in most European countries, specifically looking at the situation of Roma, is still scarce. Drawing on qualitative research conducted mainly in the city of Barcelona under the communicative approach with Roma subjects who have stable socioeconomic positions and higher cultural capitals (end-users, pr…
Vol. 6, Num. 1 - Full Issue
Despite much research done on language learning textbooks, there still exist several questions unanswered about what these textbooks' contents are about. This study is thus an attempt to investigate the 15 reading passages of "Ready for First Certificate of English" (FCE) in the light of schema theory. In doing so, the microstructural approach to schema theory was taken into the account which led to the classification of 8617 schema tokens into t…
Vol. 6, Num. 2 - Full Issue
Global financial crisis, which became apparent on 2008, has had a devastating impact on social welfare of developed economies, including Spain. This state, combined with a sequence of another crisis, one of them institutional, that had remained dormant on Spanish society for decades, has raised doubts as to the ability of traditional politics to give solutions to population issues. In this context, Spain has witnessed deep changes in its politica…
Vol. 5, Num. 2 - Full Issue
Given the prominence of cognitive and affective factors in teacher effectiveness, this study intends to look at the issue from a different perspective and examine the roles of contextualization and emotionalization in teacher success. In so doing, 305 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners rated their English teachers to determine the extent to which they contextualize and emotionalize their instructions. During the first phase of the study…
Can the men's movement attract young men? The men in dialogue association
One challenge facing the men's movement is how to attract a more diverse range of participants, especially in terms of age and culture. In Spain, people generally believe that the men's movement has had little impact on young people, focused as it is on issues such as doing chores or caring for children, issues that affect only a particular group of men. Seeking ways to attract more young men to the movement, the authors conducted a case study wi…
Aisha, From Being Invisible to Becoming a Promoter of Social Change
Aisha is a Moroccan woman who lives with her three children in a city in northern Spain. In July 2014, her husband was sentenced to prison for drug trafficking. This situation led her to return to Morocco with her family, but her high level of involvement in the school where her children had received an excellent academic and humanistic education was a key factor in her decision to come back to Spain. Mustafa, Ali, and Mohamed, aged 3, 6, and 8, …
Solidarity networks that challenge racialized discourses: The case of Romani immigrant women in Spain
In the midst of the global financial crisis and in the ‘anti-race era’, Europe has witnessed a revival of deeply racialized discourses targeting the Roma, leading to new discriminatory practices and legitimating existing ones in many social domains. While westward Roma immigration has spurred these discourses, it has also favored the emergence of invisible grassroots reactions against them that need to be further analyzed. Drawing on interviews w…
Ciudadanía en femenino. Aportaciones de las mujeres inmigrantes marroquíes, ecuatorianas y rumanas en España
In recent decades, the large increase in international migration has challenged the traditional conception of citizenship based on nationality and confined to the borders of the nation-state. Several contributions point to the need to take into account key elements in order to expand the concept in a cosmopolitan context. Nevertheless, the role of immigrant women is hardly discussed. This paper aims to contribute to this debate by presenting a cr…
From Research to Policy: Roma Participation Through Communicative Organization
For centuries, Roma people's social exclusion has been reinforced through research that has legitimized stereotypes rather than helping to overcome them. This has led Roma people to refuse to participate in the kind of research that has contributed to discrimination against them. We describe how the critical communicative methodology, used in the European Framework Programme, provides Roma people with the opportunity to participate in research at…
Dialogicidad y poder en el discurso racista y antirracista
Los discursos que se generan entre sujetos en situaciones comunicativas reales incluyen, aunque se generen dentro de una relación dialógica, interacciones dialógicas y de poder. Cuando un empresario entrevista a una mujer gitana, musulmana o de un grupo cultural minoritario para un puesto de trabajo, aunque tenga muy buenas intenciones, la relación no es puramente dialógica, pues existen interacciones de poder fruto tanto de la estructura social …
Cohesión social e inmigración. Aportaciones científicas y discursos político
A pesar de ser uno de los conceptos más recurrentes entre la comunidad científica y en los discursos políticos, la cohesión social carece de una definición rigurosa y compartida que aglutine toda su complejidad. En el presente artículo, a partir de una revisión de las distintas aportaciones científicas, se definen tres dimensiones de la cohesión social: la cultural, la redistributiva de recursos y la relacional (capital social). Estas tres dimens…
