cybertherapy meets facebook, blogger and second life: an italian experience
2009
Our project is based on the study of Cybertherapy in the international sphere (USA, Northern Europe) and on the application of this discipline to the Italian psychiatric and psychological reality. CyberTherapy can be used as an "aim", referring to it as real and proper therapy, which lives on personalized paths created by a qualified staff, conceived as ludic, for recreational, psycoterapic, and educational purpose. Moreover, Cybertherapy can be used as a "mean" (and in this way we want to propose it) with the aim of making the user, who feels a psychiatric or a psychological uneasiness, to become closer to qualified staff; a considerable advantage of this discipline is to reduce to a minim…
“Is This an Advertisement or a Personal Account?” : Commercialisation of Lifestyle Blogs in Finland
2015
When blogging first appeared on the map of social media in the mid-1990s, the majority of bloggers were male writing for example about the developments of the online world, or if they were political reporters, looking for a new platform to publish their perhaps more controversial work. Today many blogs fall into the category of lifestyle blogs, which have thousands, sometimes even tens of thousands of individual readers per month throughout the world. In fact, professional blogging is one of the fastest growing phenomena online. It is driven mostly by relatively young women and promoted by the commercialisation of the blogging world, also known by bloggers as “the blogosphere”. During the p…
Metaforas modes emuāros
2017
Lai gan metaforas pētījumi ir piesaistījuši daudzu zinātnieku uzmanību, metaforu lietojums modes emuāros nav daudz pētīts. Emuārs kā žanrs parādījās 2000.gadu sākumā un kopš tā laika ir izveidojušies dažādi emuāra veidi. Empīriskie dati ir ekscerpēti no modes emuāra The Blonde Salad. Pētījums ir izstrādāts, lai atbildētu uz pētījuma jautājumu - kāda metaforu funkcija dominē emuārā The Blonde Salad. Pētījuma mērķis ir noteikt avota domēnus, kas metaforiski raksturo modi izvēlētajā modes emuārā. Teorētiskā pētījuma daļa ir balstīta uz teorijām par metaforām, to funkcijām un iedalījumu tādu zinātnieku kā Lakofs, Džonsons, Gibs, Knovles, Mūns un Kovecses skatījumā. Empīŗiskais pētījums ir veikt…
Theatricalization of self : personal blogs as theatre performance
2012
The aim of this thesis is to compare personal blogs and theatre art. The study is conducted as theoretical discourse and focuses on comparison of personal blogs with a subgenre of theatre art, performance art. Using actual selected examples from theatre art as well as from personal blogs, the study aims to outline the similarities, which personal blogs share with theatre performance. The theoretical framework of the thesis suggests that personal blogs with their nature of the observed subject, the blogger, and the observer, the reader, produce one of the basic elements of theatre art, theatricality. Furthermore, personal blogs are placed closer to postdramatic theatre, a form of theatre art…

Virtual Medical Communication in English. A Corpus-based Analysis of Inclusive we, us and our in the Intercultural Clinical Blog
2013
Blogs play a very important role in web-based communication as they represent ever-increasing worldwide tools in both everyday and professional interaction (Crystal 2007; Herring 1996, 2007). Similarly to all writers in general, bloggers use persuasive techniques to attract readers’ attention and make them share their points of views and opinions. The use of inclusive pronouns and possessives fulfils pragmatic persuasive functions. The aim of this work was to investigate how the first-person plural personal pronouns we and us and the first-person plural possessive adjective our were used in an intercultural blog in the medical field, namely Clinical blog, of the British Medical Journal (BMJ…

A food sociological analysis of the Finnish Christmas meal tradition in English language blogs by Finns
2012
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää ruoan sosiologiaan kuuluvan ateriatutkimuksen näkökulmasta, miten suomalaiset bloggaajat kuvaavat jouluateriaa suhteessa ruokaperinteeseen julkisissa, ainakin osin englanninkielisissä blogeissa ja millaisena joulun ajan aterioiden sosiaalinen järjestys esitetään. Aineisto koostuu 13 julkisesta blogista. Luonteeltaan tutkimus on laadullista sisällönanalyysiä. Analyysi pohjautuu niin kutsuttuun pohjoismaiseen aterian sosiaalisen järjestyksen analysointimenetelmään ja pyrkii selvittämään mitä joulun ajan aterioilla syödään ja miten ruokalajit valmistetaan ja tarjoillaan sekä missä ateriat syödään, keitä aterioille osallistuu ja kuka valmistaa ruoan. Aineis…
