L'Évasion du cinéma Liberté (1990) de Wojciech Marczewski, un métafilm sur la fin du communisme polonais
2021
sous la direction de Christophe Gelly, Caroline Lardy et David Roche; International audience; Cet article se propose d’examiner l’articulation entre le genre du métafilm auquel appartiendrait l’Évasion du cinéma Liberté de Wojciech Marczewski et sa contribution à la lumière de la dimension politique de cette œuvre. Cette démarche nous permettra non seulement de saisir son positionnement envers la condition du cinéma polonais qui doit s’adapter au passage politique du régime communiste vers la démocratie, mais aussi d’identifier d’autres enjeux politiques du film et de son rapport au réel. Dans un premier temps, nous déterminerons le cadre théorique dans lequel s’inscrit la présente étude. E…
Women Scientists Who Made Nuclear Astrophysics
2019
Female role models reduce the impact on women of stereotype threat, i.e. of being at risk of conforming to a negative stereotype about one’s social, gender, or racial group (Fine in Delusion of Gender. W.W. Norton & Co. NY, p. 36, 2010 [1]; Steele and Aronson in J Pers Soc Psychol 69:797–811, 1995 [2]). This can lead women scientists to underperform or to leave their scientific career because of negative stereotypes such as, not being as talented or as interested in science as men. Sadly, history rarely provides role models for women scientists; instead, it often renders these women invisible (CafeBabel Homepage [3]). In response to this situation, we present a selection of twelve outst…
A Finnish socialist female parliamentarian stopped on the Dutch border
2020
A Finnish socialist female parliamentarian stopped on the Dutch border: the (de) politicization of Finnish women’s suffrage in Dutch battles on votes for women This research article in transnational history analyses an incident during which Hilja Pärssinen, a Finnish socialist woman MP, was stopped on the Dutch border in September 1913 on her way to visit a suffragette college in London. This two-hour event at the border and public controversy that followed were clashes between competing ideological and gendered discourses on women’s political agency. The incident was a nexus of intersecting discourses on a range of issues: Dutch and international debates on women’s suffrage, discourse on ‘…
Women fighters as agents of change: A Brazilian jiu jitsu case study from Finland
2015
Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ), a grappling system of combat, evolved from the teachings of a Japanese judoka who moved to Brazil in the 1920s. Focusing on ground fighting, BJJ is rapidly evolving into a combat sport with competitions taking place worldwide (Hogeveen and Hardes, 2014; Spencer, 2014). Unique to the BJJ culture is the way that the ‘secrets’ of the sport are transferred from expert to novice and from one club to the other. Clubs are organised into international ‘teams’, shaping global communities of practitioners that share techniques and philosophies. Unlike many other martial arts that insist on the traditional way of passing knowledge from one teacher to many students behind the…
"I'm Not Like Indian Women": Reflections of Young European Women in Varanasi, India
2006
The aim of this article is to look at the ways in which young European women staying in the city of Varanasi for long periods of time talk about India and how they negotiate their place and role as women there. There is a common travellers’ discourse that sees India as a difficult and dangerous place to a vulnerable traveler, and the encounters of colonial women with “otherness” have been widely analysed. This article brings this discussion to the post colonial era and endeavors to initiate a discussion about how to understand the encounters between visiting Western women and the locals in India today. The article is based on nine interviews which Korpela conducted in Varanasi, and on her p…
Ruskoliljoja ja raparperia. Maalaispihojen kasvit ja puutarhatiedon leviäminen Kainuussa 1900-luvulla
2020
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan puutarhaviljelyn yleistymistä ja puutarhaneuvonnan vastaanottoa maamme syrjäseudulla 1900-luvun aikana. Suomalaisen puutarhakulttuurin ydinalue sijoittuu Etelä- ja Lounais-Suomeen, jossa väestön varallisuus, sivistystaso ja ilmasto mahdollistivat puutarhaviljelyn esimerkiksi kartanoissa jo varhain. Myös pappiloiden ja virkatalojen tiheä verkosto sekä julkiset istutukset edesauttoivat sekä kasvien että viljelytaitojen leviämistä kaikkiin kansankerroksiin. Sen sijaan maan itä- ja pohjoisosissa puutarhan hyöty- ja koristekasvit olivat vielä 1800-luvun lopulla lähes tuntemattomia etenkin maaseutuväestön keskuudessa. Ne alkoivat yleistyä vasta 1900-luvun alkuvuosikymme…

Explanations of success and failure in management learning : What can we learn from Nokia's rise and fall
2016
International audience; In this paper, we study the changing explanations of success and failure over the course of a firm's history. We build on a discursive approach that highlights the role of narrative attributions in making sense of corporate performance. Specifically, we analyze how the Nokia Corporation was framed first as a success and later as a failure and how these dimensions of performance were explained in various actors' narrative accounts. In both the success and failure accounts, our analysis revealed a striking black-and-white picture that resulted in the institutionalization of Nokia's metanarratives of success and failure. Our findings also reveal a number of discursive a…
National identity, national music and popular music in the Italian Music Press during the long 19th century
2011
Discusses the notions of national identity, national music and popular music as they emerged in Italian music periodicals during the years 1840–1890, in relation to the process of Italy’s political unification and the dissemination of foreign operas such as French grands opéras in the years 1840–1870 and Wagner’s Musikdramen from 1871 on. Essays and articles by relevant critics and musicians, such as Abramo Basevi and Francesco D’Arcais are discussed. Articles by lesser known journalists such as Pietro Cominazzi and Mattia Cipollone are also taken into account. The use of words like “national” and “popular” is analysed when referring to Italian opera, to its history and to the operas by for…
Kansa, kansallisuus ja sivistys
2005
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan, millaisia merkityksiä kansakunnalle, kansalliselle kulttuurille ja niiden kehittymisen edellytyksille annettiin sanomalehti Suomettaressa vuonna 1863. Samana vuonna pidetyt, autonomian ajan toiset valtiopäivät on määritelty keskeiseksi tapahtumaksi Suomen valtiolliselle olemassaololle. Niiden lähestyminen vilkastutti lehdistön kirjoittelua tärkeinä pidetyistä asioista. Suometar oli tuolloin yksi suurimmista sanomalehdistä ja tärkein fennomaanilehti. Artikkelissa Suometarta analysoidaan kansallisuuden tulkkina tuoden esille julkisen keskustelun ulottuvuuksia kulttuurisena elämänmallin välittäjänä ja historiatulkintojen tuottajana. Huomion kohteeksi nousevat kansa-…
