“…The utilisation of the sense of agency modality contributes to describing inservice teacher narratives that constituted the actors of the story (Fontanille, 2006;Greimas & Porter, 1977). The applicability of the modalities of agency as analytical tools helped to understand how in-service teachers perceive themselves as authors of their professional growth.…”

Research on academic achievement contrasting Black immigrant, second generation, and non-immigrant students as distinct groups is surprisingly sparse in the higher education literature. This study examined Black immigrant and second generation undergraduates from Africa and the Caribbean and non-immigrant Black American undergraduates, using the contrasting lenses of segmented assimilation theory and cultural ecological theory. Results for academic achievement favored second generation students, consistent with cultural ecological theory, while findings concerning expectations were more consistent with segmented assimilation theory. However, findings were moderated by gender in complex ways. This research indicates the need for more comprehensive theories of immigrant student achievement and motivation that incorporate consideration of the context surrounding both emigration from the home country and immigration to the host country.

Este estudio examinó estudiantes de grado inmigrantes Negros y de segunda generación de África y del Caribe con estudiantes de grado Negros Americanos, utilizando las lentes comparativas de la teoría de la asimilación segmentada y la teoría ecológica cultural. Los resultados sobre el rendimiento académico favorecieron a los estudiantes de segunda generación, siendo esto consistente con la teoría eclógica cultural, mientras que los resultados sobre expectativas fueron más consistentes con la teoría de la asimilación segmentada. Sin embargo, los resultados fueron moderados por el género en formas complejas. Esta investigación indica la necesidad de teorías más comprensivas sobre el rendimiento y la motivación de estudiantes inmigrantes que incorporen el contexto que envuelve tanto la emigración del país de origen como la inmigración al país de acogida.

Rather, Black students are too often depicted as a monolithic group, and immigration history is ignored. Further, although a great deal of research has been devoted to the academic trajectories of immigrant and second generation adolescents, relatively little of this body of work has addressed students from Africa and the Caribbean; the largest share of this research has been devoted ...

“…In template-based approaches (Thomas and Young (2006), Nelson et al (2006)), units containing story events are created in advance and assembled according to some author's direction, expressed in some formal language (templates, constraints, etc.). The underlying story model is often derived from the narrative theories proposed by semiotic structuralism, like those of Propp (1968) and Greimas (1977). It is worth noting that -whatever the chosen approach -these techniques are made possible by the explicit annotation of the story units in terms of characters' traits (goals, behaviors, personality) and story segment description (applicability conditions and effects of each segment).…”

This paper illustrates a storytelling-based application for an anthropomorphic guide to a historical site, presented through a mobile device. We discuss the requirements posed by the communication context and the idea of approaching the problem through storytelling. Then we describe the application, that merges the basic structure of storytelling with the requirements coming from the communication of the specific knowledge about the historical site, the user interaction issues concerning the target audience and the technological issues posed by the mobile device. Finally, we address the evaluation issues and we discuss the results with respect to storytelling.

“…"This arrangement offers an upper surface grammar as an exchange axis for object-values and a lower level at which agents may situate these same values in and out of narrative action" (Hillon 2017). Thus, being and doing are also vertically linked, as human practice at the lower level of the real anthropomorphizes the symbolic upper surface level grammar (Greimas and Porter 1977). Figure 1 offers a visual representation of narrative grammar for this economic universe.…”

“…Collective insights from Badiou (2004), Hryschko (2010), and Zizek (2012) offer a structuralist grammar for narrativity of SESC when mapped onto a Greimas discursive semiotic square (Greimas and Porter 1977). The generic Greimas square upon which the syntax of alternative economic universes can be modeled locates the ontological and nonontological contraries at the upper vertices and the economic and noneconomic subcontraries at the lower vertices.…”

The purpose of this conceptual essay is to challenge the inevitability of living with the destructive beast of speculative market economics in the 4 th epoch of global capitalism. We are facing an existential socioecological threat from the short-term excesses of financial capitalism, a socially irresponsible form that consumes without producing value and without bearing entrepreneurial risk, benefitting only the few. The fate of roughly 90% of humanity hangs in the balance. The primary contribution of this paper proposes a 5 th epoch of capitalism, inspired by Savall and Zardet's socio-economic and sustainable approach that restores human potential and value creation to spacetimemattering. Applying their conceptual innovation moves capitalism to a Bernácer-Perroux economic universe, with a different curvature capable of reconfiguring organizational story spacetime and resituating the antenarrative of global capitalism.
