Summary
This study introduces discursive interaction to analyze agency in transitional justice (TJ). It shows how micro-level talk in conversations shapes agency, using Croatian Parliament interactions as an example.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Linguistics
- Political Science
Background:
- Transitional justice (TJ) scholarship often overlooks the micro-level dynamics of interaction.
- Agency in TJ has been theorized primarily through macro-level political or legal structures.
- A gap exists in understanding how conversational practices influence the exercise of agency in TJ settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present discursive interaction as a novel analytical framework for studying agency in transitional justice.
- To demonstrate how Conversation Analysis can illuminate the micro-mechanics of agency in TJ.
- To reconceptualize agency by examining speaker engagement in conversational sequences.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing the paradigm of Conversation Analysis.
- Analyzing discursive interaction at the micro-level of talk.
- Empirically demonstrating the framework with interaction patterns from the Croatian Parliament.
Main Results:
- Discursive interaction effectively captures the facilitation and constraint of agency in conversational sequences.
- The analysis reveals specific micro-level interactional patterns influencing agency in a TJ context.
- The study provides a systematic analysis of how speakers engage with each other.
Conclusions:
- The discursive interaction framework offers a new lens for understanding agency in transitional justice.
- This approach advances interactive TJ theories conceptually and methodologically.
- Micro-level interactional analysis is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of agency in transitional justice.

01:09Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model
264
Various dissolution theories provide insight into the factors that influence the dissolution rate. Danckwerts' Model suggests that turbulence, rather than a stagnant layer, characterizes the dissolution medium at the solid-liquid interface. In this model, the agitated solvent contains macroscopic packets that move to the interface via eddy currents, facilitating the absorption and delivery of the drug to the bulk solution. The regular replenishment of solvent packets maintains the...

01:15Theories of Dissolution: Diffusion Layer Model
662
Dissolution, the process by which drug particles dissolve in a solvent, is explained by the diffusion layer model, a theoretical framework that simulates the absorption of oral drugs and allows us to analyze experimental data.
This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...

Effective communication is the foundation of a good organization. Communication is the lifeblood of an organization that connects the group with messages. In an organization, communication occurs in upward, downward, and horizontal lines. Downward communication travels from the administrative and senior levels to the staff through official channels such as manuals, rules and regulations, and organizational charts. Staff members initiate upward communication, which is addressed to executives and...

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

02:10Social Scripts
9.4K
People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...
