RésuméDu point de vue historique, le monolinguisme n'a pas été la règle en Europe (Braunmuller/Ferraresi 2003). Lorsqu'il s'agit d'évoquer des communautés plurilingues, nous nous référons le plus souvent a des contextes commerciaux ou à des sociétés multiethniques. Cependant, le present cas d'étude illustre le plurilinguisme dans une communauté de paysans, ethniquement homogène : l'ancienne province basque de Soule. Ce travail analyse deux traits du basque souletin résultant du contact avec l'occitan gascon : a) la diffusion d'un suffixe de dérivation marquant le genre non-grammatical ; et b) l'émergence d'un nouveau groupe de participes. Nous soulignons l'importance du contact linguistique parmi les facteurs qui ont façonné le basque souletin des derniers siècles ; plus recemment, la forte identité ethnolinguistique des Souletins a provoqué un certain refus de la norme standard.

Regarded as marginal varieties, Eastern Basque dialects —in particular the Roncalo Souletin branch— show a strong tendency to archaism, which makes diachronic research on these dialects most necessary. Souletin is undoubtedly the main dialect among the Eastern varieties of Basque with old written documents; due to their relatively early nature and temporal continuity, the centrality of Souletin in the diachronic study of the Eastern Basque is uncontroversial. This dissertation focuses on the evolution of Souletin on the basis of the diachronic analysis of a wide array of linguistic features, mostly —but not only— morphosyntactic ones. In other words, it targets the internal history of the language, and so does not aim to establish its evolution according to its speakers or the political and socio-economic events which could have influenced it (external history). In the search for solid basis/foundations, this dissertation is based on a corpus composed of more than forty texts (1616-1899), which covers the majority of the printed production, in addition to a representative sample of documents from popular tradition. We have carried out this research in two phases: 1) the definition and constitution of the corpus, which has implied exhaustive philological work; and 2) the analysis of more than fifty linguistic features. Regarding the explanation of the data, we have used the main tools of historical linguistics, and more specifically those which help us understand the past of an isolated language: a) internal comparison; b) grammaticalisation; and c) typology. Moreover, we have taken into consideration language contact phenomena and the approach of historical sociolinguistics. After having analysed the historical development of every linguistic feature under consideration, we are able to offer a complete picture of the evolution of Souletin Basque, as well as the direction of the changes that it underwent. We have shown that Souletin Basque is essentially conservative: in fact, it has maintained a number of archaisms dating from the Old Common Basque (c. 7th century; cf. Mitxelena 1981), as well as ancient innovations shared with other eastern varieties. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that the main Souletine innovations of the last centuries are due to intensive contact with Gascon Occitan. ; Considérés comme variétés marginales, les parlers basques orientaux —notamment la branche roncalo-souletine— dénotent une forte tendance archaïsante qui rend nécessaire la recherche diachronique sur ces dialectes. Le souletin est, sans aucun doute, le principal dialecte parmi les parlers orientaux disposant de témoignages écrits dans le passé. Grâce au caractère relativement précoce des témoignages et à leur continuité temporelle, le caractère prioritaire du souletin dans l'étude diachronique du basque oriental est incontestable. Cette thèse aborde donc l'histoire du dialecte souletin à travers ses textes. En d'autres termes, notre approche concerne l'histoire interne de la langue, et ne vise pas à établir son évolution en fonction des locuteurs ou des événements politiques et socio-économiques qui l'auraient influencée (histoire externe). En quête d'hypothèses solides, notre travail de description diachronique se base sur un corpus composé de plus de quarante textes qui embrasse la plupart des ouvrages imprimés entre 1657 et 1873, en plus d'une sélection représentative des témoignages de la tradition populaire. Notre recherche s'est déroulée en deux phases : 1) la constitution du corpus, qui a exigé un travail philologique profond ; et 2) le travail d'analyse d'un ensemble étendu d'éléments linguistiques concernant tous les niveaux de la langue, à l'exception du lexique. Quant à l'explication des données, nous avons eu recours aux outils habituels de la linguistique historique, et plus précisément ceux qui peuvent nous aider à dévoiler le passé d'une langue sans parent connu : a) la comparaison interne ; b) la théorie de la grammaticalisation ; et c) la typologie linguistique. A ces trois instruments d'analyse nous en avons ajouté deux autres : la connaissance des phénomènes de contact linguistique, d'une part, et la sociolinguistique historique d'autre part. L'examen des plus de cinquante traits linguistiques sélectionnés nous permet d'offrir une vision générale de l'évolution du basque souletin. Nous avons conclu que ce dialecte est dans l'essentiel une variété conservatrice qui a maintenu nombre d'archaïsmes datant du Basque Unifié Ancien (circa VIIe siècle ; cf. Mitxelena 1981), ainsi que des innovations et des choix de date ancienne partagés avec d'autres parlers orientaux. Par ailleurs, nous avons démontré que les innovations développées par le basque souletin au cours des derniers siècles s'expliquent en raison du contact intensif avec le gascon, voir, béarnais.

En este trabajo nos proponemos desarrollar los análisis sobre la gloria, la soberanía y el gobierno del filósofo italiano Giorgio Agamben, para intentar dar cuenta de un nuevo uso de la noción "democracia" que escape a estos paradigmas de poder. En este sentido, buscamos plantear desde el pensamiento del autor una democracia que ya no se piense desde una ficticia soberanía popular como tampoco desde una tecnificación administrativa, ni mucho menos desde la casi mística articulación entre ambas, sino precisamente a partir de su desarticulación. Quisiéramos darle a este gesto político el nombre de ingobernable democrático.

Since the September 11 terrorist attacks, coping with radicalisation and jihadist terrorism has been at the forefront of the domestic and foreign policy agendas in Western societies. During this time, the influence that political leaders can exert in their interaction with institutions, citizens, and terrorist organizations has been demonstrated. We present a case study of the speech by Barak Obama on June 4, 2009 at the University of Cairo ("A New Beginning"). Its content and internal structure is analysed using the classification of virtues and strengths defined by Peterson and Seligman (2004) as a theoretical and conceptual reference within the framework of positive psychology. This speech marked a turning point in the relationship between the USA and the Arab-Muslim world and could be considered to be a genuine exercise in positive communication. Its implications are yet to be determined, because it continues to exert an influence on the Obama administration's domestic and foreign policy. In a globalized and networking world in which risks and adversities require innovative responses, more than ever we suggest that social communication capable of promoting virtues and strengths associated with optimism, hope, confidence, strength, or vitality is needed more than ever. ; Desde los atentados terroristas del 11S, el afrontamiento de la radicalización y el terrorismo yihadista por parte de las sociedades occidentales ha estado en primera línea de la agenda política interior y exterior. Durante este tiempo, se ha evidenciado la influencia que pueden desempeñar los dirigentes políticos en su interacción con las instituciones, la ciudadanía y las organizaciones terroristas. En la presente investigación se realiza un estudio de caso del discurso pronunciado por Barack Obama el 4 de junio de 2009 en la Universidad de El Cairo ("A New Beginning"). Para ello se examina su contenido y estructura interna utilizando como referente teórico-conceptual la clasificación de virtudes y fortalezas delimitada por Peterson y Seligman (2004) en el marco de la Psicología Positiva. Este discurso supuso un punto de inflexión en las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y el mundo árabo-musulmán, pudiendo considerarse un genuino ejercicio de comunicación positiva cuyas implicaciones están aún por determinar, dado que sigue ejerciendo influencia en la política interior y exterior de la administración Obama. Se concluye que, en un mundo globalizado y en red donde los riesgos y adversidades requieren abordajes innovadores, es necesaria más que nunca una comunicación social capaz de promover virtudes y fortalezas asociadas al optimismo, la esperanza, la confianza, la resistencia o la vitalidad

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the confinement of most populations worldwide, through stay-at-home orders. Children have continued their education process at home, supervised by parents, who, in most cases, have adopted the role of prime drivers of their learning processes. In this study, the psychological impact of confinement was explored, as well as the relationship of the forced homeschooling situation with psychological well-being. During their confinement, 400 individuals residing in Spain—165 without children at home (Group 1), 104 parents who dedicated little time to homeschooling (Group 2), and 131 who dedicated more time to homeschooling (Group 3)—responded to an online questionnaire. The results show that confinement threatened the mental health of all the participants but especially Group 3 individuals, who had the highest loneliness, anxiety, and stress levels. Moreover, loneliness, perception of discomfort due to homeschooling, and anxiety exacerbated the stress experienced during confinement. Discomfort due to the homeschooling situation was especially relevant in explaining anxiety and stress for Group 3 individuals. These results suggest that forced homeschooling could be associated with the negative consequences that confinement has on individuals' mental health. Moreover, the results suggest that parents who dedicate more time to homeschooling feel more unprotected and more stressed due to the homeschooling in comparison to Group 2 individuals. Health professionals must pay special attention to parents who dedicate more time to homeschooling, and governments and schools must emphasize social support provision to families during homeschooling situations.

The main objective of this study was to develop and validate a reliable and valid scale that allows the measurement of the perception that teachers have of attention to diversity in the classroom: the Perception of Attention to Diversity Scale (PADS). To this end, 456 teachers answered a survey. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed a robust adjustment of the expected bifactorial structure. The two factors identified were the perception of attention (a) related to the Specific Educational Needs, with five items, and (b) related to cultural diversity, with four items. The patterns of relationship between the scale and its factors with other psychological variables supported the construct validity. The study provides a useful tool both to measure the perception that teachers have of the levels of attention to diversity they offer in the classroom, and to analyze the relationship that such perception can have with different study variables.

Social exclusion is one of the most complex and sensitive social problems nowadays. Of all social groups, adolescents are among the most vulnerable to social exclusion, which can interfere with their social development. Consequently, the evaluation of this construct in adolescents is an important matter. The aim of this investigation was to develop the Social Inclusion for Adolescents Scale (SIAS). Firstly, five psychosocial factors were proposed, which potentially contribute to social inclusion: (1) covered needs, (2) self-efficacy, (3) social support, (4) job training, and (5) social integration. From these five factors, a set of items was created and reduced using qualitative evaluations. The final set of items was used in three studies, with a Spanish population (N = 1540) and a foreign population (N = 460), to test the psychometric properties of the scale, its dimensional structure, the measurement invariance between Spanish and foreign people, the reliability of the instrument and the evidence of the validity of its measurements. The results indicate that this scale is psychometrically reliable enough to assess social inclusion in adolescents. ; Centro Mixto UGR-MADOC 18/16 ; Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness DER2015-63857-R ; European Union's Internal Security Fund-Police 823683 ; European Union (EU) DER2015-63857-R

During the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. conservative politicians and the media downplayed the risk of both contracting COVID-19 and the effectiveness of recommended health behaviors. Health behavior theories suggest perceived vulnerability to a health threat and perceived effectiveness of recommended health-protective behaviors determine motivation to follow recommendations. Accordingly, we predicted that-as a result of politicization of the pandemic-politically conservative Americans would be less likely to enact recommended health-protective behaviors. In two longitudinal studies of U.S. residents, political conservatism was inversely associated with perceived health risk and adoption of health-protective behaviors over time. The effects of political orientation on health-protective behaviors were mediated by perceived risk of infection, perceived severity of infection, and perceived effectiveness of the health-protective behaviors. In a global cross-national analysis, effects were stronger in the U.S. (N = 10,923) than in an international sample (total N = 51,986), highlighting the increased and overt politicization of health behaviors in the U.S.
