Speeches About Men and Women in Technical Education: Between Reproduction and Transformation. A Study Located in Two Argentinian Provinces

2020

La formación técnica en Argentina ha sido un ámbito históricamente masculinizado. Ante el incremento de la matrícula femenina y la visibilización y demandas sociales respecto de las desigualdades de género, nos preguntamos, de qué manera las instituciones de ETP favorecen el reconocimiento y la participación con miras a la justicia social. Este trabajo analiza discursos sobre las desigualdades entre varones y mujeres (en interseccionalidad con otras) que circulan en 12 instituciones de educación técnico profesional en dos provincias argentinas (Neuquén y Mendoza), y sobre los dispositivos de acompañamiento a la escolaridad y articulación con el trabajo que allí se construyen. Desplegamos un…

Learning How to Tell, Learning How to Ask: Reciprocity and Storytelling as a Community Process

2020

AbstractIn this article, we discuss the discursive processes that surround storytelling of traumatic experiences in the case of minor asylum seekers involved in the recent migration flow to Italian ports. We argue that in order to understand not only how traumatic experiences are told but also how they are overcome, it is necessary to focus on the reciprocal relationships and impact of the members of the communities in which migrants are received. Such approach shifts the focus from the content of stories toward the protagonists of their tellings and from asylum seekers as ‘subjects’ to asylum seekers as members of communities to which they and others contribute. The article is based on nar…

Indigenous Identity in Print: Representations of the Sami in News Discourse

2003

This article examines news representations of the indigenous Sami people in the Finnish news discourse and the role of the representations in the politics of Sami identity. Through critical discourse analysis of Finnish newspaper texts collected from the leading daily Helsingin Sanomat, I analyse the representations by examining how the journalists utilized textual and linguistic resources available to them, how journalistic practices limited and enabled choices made and, finally, how the textual choices contributed to the representations. The study suggests that a combination of the minority position of the Sami, journalistic practices and an unawareness of or insensitivity towards the re…

Hope and equilibrium in the dystopian world of The Hunger Games

2021

This paper provides evidence of the fruitfulness of combining analytical categories from Cognitive Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis for the analysis of complex literary characterizations. It does so through a detailed study of the “tributes”, i.e. the randomly selected children who have to fight to death in a nationally televised show, in The Hunger Games. The study proves the effectiveness of such categories to provide an analytically accurate picture of the dystopian world depicted in the novel, which is revealed to include a paradoxical element of hope. The type of dehumanization that characterizes the dystopian society of Panem is portrayed through an internally consistent se…

Policing language in the world of new work : the commodification of workplace communication in organizational consulting

2021

Abstract This paper examines how the shift to knowledge and innovation economy has created new sites for the commodification of language and communication in the context of organizational consulting. The data come from a consultant-led development and training program of the management teams of a Finnish educational organization. In the study, the year-long training was videotaped (45 h) and followed ethnographically. By using rhetorical discourse analysis as a method, we examine how the consultant-led training activities present the role of language and communication in changing working life. The results show how the activities factualize the transformation of work and the centrality of la…

Software as ideology

2016

Software has become ubiquitous in higher education, especially often taken-for-granted Microsoft Word. Educational writing involves more than horizontal lines of text, but also multimodal representations. When students write in Word, the affordances of the program constrain what multimodal representations of knowledge they can and cannot make. Software such as Word is not neutral tool-kits, but also historical and semiotic constructs loaded with social values and ideologies. By taking a social semiotic approach to Word and SmartArt, this article shows how this software is pre-loaded with values and styles from office management. These values are then infused into education, in the case this…

Violent women in Spanish TV ads: Stereotype reversal or the same old same old?

2016

Why did different agencies, promoting diverse products, create three ads featuring violence perpetrated by women on their rather immature and submissive male partners in order to sell their products? I posit that the female viewers connect subconsciously with the image of the proactive female protagonists through the psychological mechanism in which we identify with ‘our like’ on the screen. This, in turn, allows for the projection of ‘common ground’, a positive politeness strategy, to favourably dispose the female audience towards the protagonists and, by extension, the products advertised. The success of these ads depends on women viewers identifying with the apparently dominant female pr…

Hyvinvointivaltiokansalaisuusdiskurssit neljän suurimman puolueen eduskuntavaaliohjelmissa 1991–2019

2020

Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tehdä näkyväksi millaisia ideologisia valintoja Suomen neljä suurinta puoluetta ovat tehneet eduskuntavaaliohjelmissaan suhteessa hyvinvointivaltiokansalaisuusdiskursseihin 1991 vuodesta alkaen. Tarkastelemme erityisesti vaaliohjelmissa tuotettuja kansalaisen poliittisia ja sosiaalisia oikeuksia ja velvollisuuksia sekä kansalaisen ja valtion välistä oikeudellinen sidettä ja sen legitimointia. Tarkastelemme puolueiden hyvinvointivaltiokansalaisuusdiskursseja pohjoismaisesta hyvinvointivaltiomallista käytävän kamppailun viitekehyksessä. Kansalaisuustulkinnat ohjaavat yhteiskuntapolitiikkaa ja esimerkiksi määritelmät kansalaisten tarpeista vaikuttavat palvelurakentee…

"A 304-year experiment which worked some but not all of the time" : Britain and British identities in three English, Scottish and Welsh newspapers in…

2014

Britannia ja sen eri maat ovat unionin pitkän historian kuluessa kohdanneet lukuisia muutoksia ja haasteita. Viimeaikaisimmat näistä haasteista ovat liittyneet esimerkiksi siihen miten unionia ja sen maita hallitaan: vuonna 1997 unionin valtaa hajautettiin sisäisille paikallishallinnoille, jonka jälkeen muun muassa Wales on saavuttanut laajemmat oikeudet omien lakien säätämiseen ja Skotlanti on syksyllä 2014 äänestämässä mahdollisesta itsenäisyydestä. Tällaiset kehitykset herättävät kysymyksiä siitä, miten unioni nykyään toimii, kuinka vahvasti sen eri maat ovat sidoksissa toisiinsa, ja miltä sen tulevaisuus näyttää. Tämän tutkielman tarkoitus on tarkastella sitä, miten Britanniaa ja britti…

"Unfounded bitchy nagging performed by fools" : discourse analysis of Varusteleka's advertising

2016

Varusteleka on suomalainen armeijaylijäämään ja ulkoiluvarusteisiin erikoistunut yritys, joka on tunnettu omalaatuisesta markkinointityylistään. Varustelekan mainonta on saanut sekä positiivista että negatiivista palautetta, ja myös viranomaiset ovat kommentoineet yrityksen toimintaa. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli analysoida diskurssianalyysin keinoin kolmea tapausta, joissa eri tahot ovat kyseenalaiset Varustelekan mainonnan eettisyyden ja hyvän tavan mukaisuuden. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin alkuperäisten mainosten kyseenalaistettua sisältöä, sekä yrityksen ja sitä kritisoivien tahojen välistä julkista vuorovaikutusta. Analyysissä hyödynnettiin kriittisen diskurssianalyysin lähestymist…
