Being an athlete and being a young person: Technologies of the self in managing an athletic career in youth ice hockey in Finland

2018

Engaging in youth sports is a major investment, and it requires choosing and balancing between an athlete’s life and other practices and ways of life important to adolescents. In this Foucauldian year-long ethnographic study on Finnish 18–20-year-old elite male ice hockey players I consider an athletic career as a moral question and examine what aspects of their behaviour are affected when these players submit to the external and internal control they encounter when advancing themselves and their careers, and how they problematize the codes that govern their actions. The players expressed six modes of subjection altogether that were important to cultivation of the self: exercising, nutriti…

Institutionalisation in professional freestyle snowboarding – Finnish professional riders’ perceptions

2014

AbstractBy employing W. Richard Scott’s neo-institutional tools this study examines how Finnish professional snowboarders perceive the possibilities of self-expression amid the changes that have taken place in the field of professional snowboarding in recent years. The results indicate that snowboarders perceive competitions and filming or photo shoots as two different subfields in which different institutional elements are emphasised. Both subfields play a strong role in marketing the sponsor and the riders appear to have adopted their role in this system well. However, the pro snowboarders express concern about the regularisation of courses, styles and formats of the competitions and the …

Suomalaisen orkesterilaitoksen asema suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa

2007

Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää suomalaisen orkesterilaitoksen asemaa suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa painottaen orkesterilaitoksen luonteessa ilmenevää autonomian ja yhteiskunnallisen toimijuuden dualismia. Tutkimusongelmaa tarkastellaan autonomisen taidemusiikkikentän, orkesterilaitoksen institutionalisoitumiskehityksen, orkesterilaitoksen julkispalveluluonteen ja kansalaisnäkökulman suunnista, joiden merkitys orkesterilaitoksen asemaan vaikuttaa ilmeiseltä. Orkesterilaitos määrittyy tutkimuksen alussa tarkoittamaan pääosin kaupunkiin sidottujen valtionosuusorkesterien varsinaista toimintaa. Kaikki ulkomusiikillinen, joka ei ole taidemusiikkikentän sisällä neuvoteltu orkesterilaitoksen to…
