Mapping Soft Skills in the Job Market
Soft skills are increasingly vital in the professional market due to growing specialization across industries, as well as trends in migration and globalization. Despite employers’ clear expectations regarding soft skills, these expectations are rarely assessed through systematic surveys. This study addresses this gap by providing an international perspective on current needs, with a focus on France, a partner in the Erasmus+ KA220-HED-9C51598F pr…
Multiplex Tactics and Involvement in Small Storytelling
This article examines some characteristics and functions of multiplex tactics in small storytelling. It uses a case-study based on three long informal interviews with a participant from the Gauteng, South Africa. Analysis and discussion raise questions of conversational resources and involvement, and thereby of a critical understanding of creativity and cooperation in interactional doing being. Multiplex tactics produce effects on several levels …
A linguistic ethnography of geomapped small stories
This paper explores a conjoint analysis of narrative interactional data and of artefacts of the semiotic landscape (SL). The data form part of a linguistic ethnography of Sandton, a site in the Gauteng, South Africa. Sandton is a district of business and conspicuous consumption, with a wealth gap between it and neighbouring urban areas. The discussion of the paper focuses on two youth participants ‘born free’ in the 90s, after the end of Aparthei…
Digital media, the body and agency in a South African education institution from the perspective of narrative research
In developing countries, digital media have created uneven nexuses of literacy, power and societal adjustment. Whilst literacy and power have been the subject of much research in South Africa, often supporting a conception of digital media as a resource (the access to and advantages of specific devices or applications), this study also sought to reflect on personal and societal change as bodily and ontological experience. The aim was to contribut…
Les Linguistic Landscape Studies
Le champ des paysages linguistiques peut être compris comme la succession de deux vagues de recherche : une première vague qui met en exergue le quantitatif et les dynamiques de contact et de changement linguistiques ; et une seconde vague, plus ethnographique, qui explore la constitution sociale de la signification. La première vague donne lieu à des interrogations puissantes sur l'échantillonnage et l'interprétation des phénomènes linguistiques…

Culture and Identity Politics in Northern Ireland
The Troubles in Ballybogoin
Why are the political polarities of Northern Ireland so intractable? Why, in a society riven by class division, do Northern Ireland's people identify most strongly with the nationalist and religious groupings of British Protestant versus Irish Catholic? Why, after over thirty years of violence and death, is dialogue about the future so difficult to create and sustain? In The Troubles in Ballybogoin, William F. Kelleher Jr. examines the patterns o…

Making home in the Irish/British borderlands
The process of making spaces into home places has become a topic of interest as the intensity and speed of global relations and the mobility of people increase. This article examines an Irish nationalist woman's struggles to make a "homeplace" in a Northern Ireland border town, a space marked by long‐term political conflict. It shows that the practices entailed in producing the material and phenomenological aspects of home take place in a transna…
