Illustrative Storytelling And Social Sciences: Reconsidering Boundaries, Extensions, And Meanings Of Qualitative Research, Veronica Moretti, Francesco Della Puppa

The Qualitative Report

Comics are increasingly recognized as a flexible and multimodal medium capable of eliciting, constructing, analyzing, and disseminating qualitative data. Far from being merely illustrative or humorous, comics offer complex visual-narrative forms that can reflect and critique social realities, stimulate reflexivity, and engage diverse audiences. This approach highlights the scientific, ethical, and epistemological implications of using comics in research, particularly in relation to representation, positionality, and the visual construction of meaning. Comics can serve as tools for pedagogy, public sociology, and participatory inquiry, especially in areas such as health, gender, and digital cultures. From autoethnography and zine-making to the co-production of …

Writer of several works of short form, Youssouf Amine Elalamy has a work written in Moroccan Arabic تقرقيب الناب which literally means chatter. This work depicts individuals in portraits inspired by Moroccan society.

Sebta / Ceuta : Entre Marketing Architectural Et Communication Identitaire À Outrance : Quelle Éthique ?, Amal Ben Attou

Dirassat

Spanish architecture, in its volume, aesthetics, and architectural details, is of great importance in its northern Mediterranean context. However, its implantation, its duplication, and, above all, its communication to politics, both cosmopolitan and transnational, without any idealistic or imaginative connection, nor with the local vernacular, the native society, and with the aim of profit and the affirmation of a power apparatus focused on a bygone past, seriously lays the foundations for a communication devoid of ethics or morality.

Etude De L’Appareil Énonciatif De La Publicité Marocaine Post-Covid, Abdelmajid Aboutarik, Abderrahmane Talibi

Dirassat

In the digital age, social media have supplanted traditional media, and social media have developed new forms of communication and expression. Moroccan Internet users have also seized this tool to freely express their opinions on many topics that occupy and concern them, including the one in our article: women. Through a corpus of video comments, our analysis revealed the following points: three languages are used by Moroccan Internet users: first, French, then Darija, and finally Standard Arabic. But a correlation quickly emerged between the gender of Internet users, the theme, and the language used; Standard Arabic is thus favored by …

This article attempts to answer these questions by analyzing the mechanisms that guide the construction of the advertising message and determine the interpretation process.

Particularités Discursives Du Slogan Électoral Des Partis Politiques Marocains, Amina Erradi

Dirassat

The electoral slogan, this short of linguistic form, is an intrument of political mobilization, having a certain role in the choice of voters. Through these syntactic and rhetorical characteristics, the slogan influences the orientation of the opinions of the receivers. Politicians use it to ratify their commitments and strengthen their position. This aphorizing construction will serve both to confirm the identity of political parties and to validate the relevance of their programs. In our contribution, we will focus on the study of the discursive strategies inherent in the electoral slogan, used by Moroccan political parties during the electoral campaign conducted …

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

The ancient wisdom of the Enneagram illuminates the complexities of conflict, offering invaluable insights for mediators and individuals alike. Through various case studies and recommendations on practical applications, this Article illustrates how mediators can leverage Enneagram-based strategies to de-escalate conflict and facilitate constructive dialogues.

Rather than a strict typological tool, the Enneagram’s inner lines, Wings, and Triadic Approaches allow mediators to easily recognize diverse responses …

Volume 17 is a ont! article effort. Professor Kenneth Holmes has been studying the activities of Sir Francis Drake for some time now. Several things are apparent. First, the literature on Drake is confusing and somewhat contradictory, particularly with respect to the voyages in the north east Pacific Ocean. Second, although Holmes Is an historian, his work generally falls in the area of exploration and most certainly his "proofs" are tied directly to the work of geographers. Third, the article demonstrates research activities in diverse kinds of publications - tasks not unlike those Geographers must pursue. It is hoped you …

The Influence Of High And Low Pressure Systems On Hurricane Movement As Seen Over North America, Lawrence R. Handley

The Geographical Bulletin

illustrate one of the many atmospheric controls that influence the trajectories, speed, and intensity of hurricanes. The article developed as an exercise aimed at viewing the impact of welldeveloped high pressure cells on well-developed low pressure systems. The hurricane is used as the model of the well-developed low pressure system, because it is compact, mobile, and well-defined. Thus, the relationships between low pressure and high pressure systems can best be documented, isolated, and studied using hurricanes as the model. It is important that the reader understand that past research has identified many controls affecting the movements and velocities of hurricanes, …

All may not agree on what is his greatest role in life, but perhaps it is that of counselor. What would be the profession of many of us tonight if there had been no R. G. Buzzard. What might I be in and where might I be if he "A. G." had not befriended me before and after graduating in June …

How Gamma Theta Upsilon Chanced To Originate., Robert Guy Buzzard

The Geographical Bulletin

When I was a student at The University of Chicago, (I am S.B., 1916; S.M., 1917), and again after service in World War I, Geography and GEOLOGY were housed in Rosenwald Hall, and students of those fields rubbed elbows with each other. Students in GEOLOGY were enjoying the fellowship of a national professional fraternity in "their field". Geography students had no similar association, nor was there the least bit of concern on the part of students or faculty in Geography because of lack of this privilege. In 1924-25 I was a senior fellow in the Graduate School of Geography at …

1928-1978 Fifty Years Of Service To Geography, James Snaden

The Geographical Bulletin

Dr. Robert G. Buzzard conceived the idea of a professional fraternity in the field of geography while he was a student at the University of Chicago just prior to World War I. He dropped the matter when he was unable to find a group of students who could be interested in forming such an organization. During 1924-25, when Dr. Buzzard was a graduate student at Clark University, a local organization which came to be known as the Clark Geographical Society, made up of persons with a graduate degree from Clark, sparked the interest of many geographers. He found only lukewarm …

Climatic Preference, Jeffrey T. Lutz

The Geographical Bulletin

Researchers within the discipline of geography seek to achieve an enhanced comprehension of man's perception of the world. Therefore, environmental perception is a subject of great consequence to geographers. Understanding of the sources of environmental variance perception in is essential to an understanding of variation in man's environmental behaviors. 1 The mental image is one of the major determinants of spatial behavior; and spatial images area an individual's cognitive representation of the spatial environment, and are a summary of what he considers meaningful about the environment.' Climate is a strategic factor affecting man's responses to the complex environment, and climate …

The Diffusion Of Transportation Effects In An Urban Network, David Burik

The Geographical Bulletin

Large urban centers are served by transport networks which consist of a great number of links and nodes. Predicting what the effects of the construction of a proposed link, the abandonment of superfluous elements, or the improvement of existing links will be on the traffic flows over the entire system is currently a timeconsuming and expensive undertaking. It is nevertheless, a necessary step investment appraisal. It is for proper often the case that the amount of available capital will only allow for the completion of a relatively small scale projects. The cost of a full traffic study to assess the …

The Study Of A Service Area, Mary Wegner

The Geographical Bulletin

Valparaiso, with a population of 20,900 as of 1970, is a city which serves the inhabitants of Porter County in northwest Indiana. The exact variety and combination of its services are not duplicated anywhere else in the world. In addition to the expected municipal functions for a city of its size (e.g. street repair, police and fire protection, mail and newspaper deliveries, shopping, and recreation facilities), Valparaiso also performs functions that other towns in the immediate vicinity do not provide. Examples of such functions include serving as the county seat of Porter County; housing the only Lutheran university in the …

A Geographic Analysis Of Crime Rate In Southwestern Michigan: 1967·1973, James F. Lee

The Geographical Bulletin

In the last five years the study of the spatial dynamics of crime has become an important subfield of the geographic discipline. Numerous, well known studies have appeared, written by geographers and non-geographers alike, dealing with the geography of crime in general or with specific areal units.' While this abundance of research has been fruitful, it has, nonetheless, been haphazard. An attempt to remedy this situation was recently put forward by Phillips, who has identified several well defined research frontiers open to geographers of crime.2 Suggested by Phillips are four areas in which geographers should concentrate their crime research efforts: …
