Social-Epistemic Rhetoric of (Un)certainty in Biomedical and Psychiatric Scientific Academic Writing: A Diatextual Analysis
In line with the general aims of scientific textuality, research papers in the biomedical and psychiatric academic domains mostly attempt to demonstrate the validity of their assumptions and to contrast with the sense of uncertainty that sometimes frames their conclusions. Moving from this premise, the present paper aimed to focus on these features and to investigate if and the extent to which biomedical and psychiatric texts convey different soc…
Affective Detection of ‘Brain Drain’ Through Video-Narrative Interview
The present study aims at monitoring the emotional side of the so-called “brain drain” by means of emotional expressions automatically detected during a narrative interview. Skilled people or people with higher education to reach another Country, generally following a job offer with better conditions of reward or life, theorize the brain drain phenomenon as the abandonment of a Nation. This definition, albeit complete, does not seize the complexi…
Un-Certainty as a Pragmatic Resource for Psychiatric Argumentation: A Diachronical and Diatextual Approach
Psychiatry is the science that aims to propose plausible theories in the description and explanation of “body-mind” pathologies. Since also the modern institution of science produces a type of discourse aimed at reducing human insecuritas through a progressive falsification of conjectures on how things are actually, it seems very important to monitor the discursive construction of un-certainty about an extremely elusive object such as the abnorma…
An authentic feeling? Religious experience through Q&A websites
As the “Sacred Place”—meant as the new space for religions offered by the Internet—demands for continuous investigations on the encounter between traditional narratives and social practices, the rapid growth of Question and Answering websites asks for improving social research about the Authenticity of the religious feeling as well as their responsibility in the construction of a shared knowledge. In this background, the aim of this study is to i…
Twitter culture: Irony comes faster than tourist mobility
Recent developments in the research field of the tourism sciences show a growing interest in customer satisfaction. Increasingly mediated communications develop new signification practices within social networks, as Twitter, where tourism companies discover what users think of the service offered, through methodologies such as Sentiment Analysis [Pang, B., & Lee, L. (2008). Opinion mining and sentiment analysis. Foundations and Trends® in Informa…
What it is like to be “ex”? Psycho-discursive analysis of a dangling identity
The goal of this article is to observe how communicative processes intervene in constructing and maintaining given self-narratives. Proceeding from the idea that the Self is, first of all, narration, we shall scrutinise the topic of identity permanence and change in our linguistic system by exploring the configurations of reality produced by the use of a specific morpheme: the “ ex”. After considering some differences about the intricate relation…
Translation as sign exploration: A semiotic approach based on Peirce
What can be translated from one language to another? What relationship exists between the translator and the text being translated? This article shows how Peirce’s semiotics, with its array of concepts that function as tools for the textual analysis, can shed a clarifying light on the explorative nature of a translation. In fact, what is described is the dynamic focusing on a transfer of meaning from one text to another, characteristic of human l…
A rose is more than a rose … the diatextual constitution of subjects and objects
This paper integrates contributions coming from psychology with a phenomenological and semiotic perspective and focuses on the relationship of reciprocal constitution between “Subject” and “Object.” This relationship is evoked through radically different concepts such as the notions of “experience,” “consciousness” and “embodiment,” focusing attention on “discourse” as a macro-procedure generating the mutual link between Subject and Object. There…
Diatexts at work: The diatextual approach as a psycho-cultural path of critical discourse analysis in the organizational context
Purpose The paper argues that the diatextual analysis could be considered a psycho-cultural path of critical discourse analysis because it stresses the role of hermeneutical procedures in catching the inter-subjective nature of meanings. The purpose of this paper is to discuss these theoretical speculations in light with some empirical evidences coming from a discursive study exploring the construction of organizational identity through socializa…
Me, myself, and God: Religion as a psychocultural resource of meaning in later life
The present paper addressed the different meanings attached to religion as cultural resource in the course of life. Indeed, abundant cultural research has confirmed that religion could be a powerful symbolic system that shapes people’s beliefs and attitudes. Its significance may depend on contextual factors and may vary over time and place, thus showing different implications across cultures and group cohorts. To better investigate such assumptio…
From professional identity to organizational membership and back: Narrative sense-making in sport organizations: the case of referees
Purpose – Narrative is believed to be a crucial component of sense-making in organizations, and previous research in the field suggests that multiple levels and forms of narrative are inherent to the definition of professional identities (Clarke et al. , 2009; Ybema et al. , 2009; Brown and Lewis, 2011). For example, narrative can be found in the stories told by organizational actors as they informally interact in the workplace, in the formalized…
Analysing human resource managers' discourse on diversity: A study in some Italian small and medium enterprises
The main aim of this paper was to investigate how diversity management was discursively constructed in the words of 10 human resource (HR) managers of Small and Medium Enterprises located in Apulia, South of Italy. Following a discursive approach to organizations and a critical and rhetorical methodological perspective, the study has taken into account how HR managers defined diversity, how their diversity discourses reflected existing managerial…
The dialogic construction of certainty in legal contexts
The contexts of legal communication are characterized by the maximum strain between the spread of doubtfulness and the aspiration to certainty. The distance between the versions of events proposed by prosecution and defense is clear evidence of the sense-making dynamic that marks the human condition as “insecuritas”. The analysis of legal contexts allows us to capture the complex process of the discursive construction of (un)certainty, that inter…
Old Roots, New Branches: The Shoots of Diatextual Analysis
The present contribution focuses on the discursive perspective, which finds its roots in the several “turns” that animated the previous century. Besides the “discursive” and the “narrative” turns, the “contextual turn” has highlighted that meanings shape themselves in a context, which could be seen both as a “cotext” (the linguistic around) as well as an extralinguistic frame (Slama-Cazacu 1959 / 1961). Such perspective allows considering texts a…
Commemorative acts as discursive resources of historical identity
Discourse plays a crucial role in determining how both persons and communities shape social reality and attribute meaning to experience ( Edwards, 1997 ). This potential is mostly evident when the contended object of discourse is history itself, which is a peculiar area of the cultural mind. Hence, the discursive management of the collective tends to generate interpretations which in turn might mould personal and social identities. Sharing the sp…
Narrating organizational change: An applied psycholinguistic perspective on organizational identity
According to the traditional mainstream perspective in organizational research, organizations are conceptualized as environments basically oriented toward the production of goods and services and/or to the implementation of the skills mastered by their operators. However, according to a narrative approach to organizations, workplaces – as well as organizations in general – could be conceived of as discursive constructions, that is, as social spac…
The dynamics of sense making: A diatextual approach to the intersubjectivity of discourse
Psycho-semiotics is a qualitative research perspective aiming at developing the seminal intuition by Peirce (Collected papers, Harvard, 19311958) according to whom man is a complex network of signs. Hence, text and talk-in-interaction are the basic psycho-discursive practices ( Wetherell, Subjectivity 22: 7381, 2008) where the intersubjective nature of sense making is revealed. Peirce is an inspiring point of reference for psycho-semiotics also a…

The Diatextual Construction of the Self in Short Message Systems
This article extends the use of the personal position repertoire beyond the psychotherapy domain, adopting it as a research method applied to the psychology of communication. The aim is to investigate the features of short message system (SMS) communication in a sample of late adolescents. Across 2 analyses on the same corpus of 3,890 SMS messages, evidence has been presented that a composite index of contents could be related to an overall index…
