Multiverse Ethnography: A Qualitative Method for Gaming and Technology Use Research

2021

This article introduces multiverse ethnography as a systematic team-based qualitative method for studying the mechanical, structural and experiential properties of video games and other technological artefacts. Instead of applying the ethnographic method to produce a single in-depth account, multiverse ethnography includes multiple researchers carrying out coordinated synergetic ethnographic work on the same research object, thus producing a multiverse of interpretations and perspectives. To test the method, 41 scholars carried out a multiverse ethnography on two video games, Cyberpunk 2077 and Among Us. Explorative thematic findings regarding both titles are reported and methodological imp…

Weakly interacting dark matter in walking technicolor theories

2010

Several lines of evidence support the existence of the dark matter in the Universe. In the light of the present observations the particle dark matter, and in particular the WIMP scenario is a very promising alternative to solve the dark matter problem. In this context recent minimal walking techicolor model motivated dark matter models have been studied. The minimal walking techinicolor and the minimal extension of it, which can successfully provide a dynamical origin for the electroweak symmetry breaking as well as the unification of the standard model coupling constants, gives rise to natural dark matter candidates such as fourth family heavy neutrinos and SU(2) adjoint matter. A general …

Affective familiarity and the experience of home : a phenomenological exploration

2022

This paper provides a phenomenological analysis of the emotional aspects of the experience of home. Researchers have studied home from several perspectives, but there is a need for a detailed phenomenological analysis of the emotional intentionality which underlies the meanings and experiences of home as an emotionally charged place. This paper provides novel conceptual tools for understanding the interrelation between home and its inhabitant’s personal identity by introducing the concept of ”feeling of ownness”. The relevance and meaning of this concept is demonstrated through experiential examples which illustrate how home can be experienced as one’s ”own”. Moreover, this paper discussess…

Peaceful Foreign Policy and Remembrance of War Effort : The Conceptualisation of Willingness to Defend in Finland and Its Connections to Previous Arm…

2022

In Finland, a conceptualization of willingness to defend has been a traditional part of the defence-related debates and the state has vested interests to maintain the high level of willingness. This paper examines the connections to the Second World War in political discourse related to willingness to defend. Based on the analysis of political and societal debates, I will demonstrate that the Second World War serves as an historical experience for the understanding of the concept by offering an idea of individual sacrifice relevant to the survival of the state, as a prime example. peerReviewed

Sodan uhka Yhdysvaltain Japanin suurlähetystöraporteissa vuosina 1932-1941

2014

Tässä työssä tutkittiin Yhdysvaltain Japanin suurlähetystön raportointia Yhdysvaltain ulkoministeriöön vuosina 1932–41, jolloin suurlähettiläänä toimi Joseph C. Grew. Päälähteenä tutkimuksessa olivat Wisconsin-Madisonin ja Illinoisin kirjastojen verkkosivuilta löytyvät suurlähetystöraportit ja vertailevana aineistona käytettiin joitakin artikkeleita The New York Timesista, sekä Foreign Affairs-lehdestä. Aineistosta etsittiin merkkejä sodan alkamisesta Tyynellämerellä, sekä pyrittiin luomaan kokonaiskuvaa suurlähetystön ja ulkoministeriön välisestä kirjeenvaihdosta kyseisenä ajanjaksona. Samalla tutkittiin, miten kansainvälinen poliittinen tilanne vaikutti Japanin ja Yhdysvaltojen poliittise…

Moving forward sustainably : material and social conditions of electronic waste management in Nigeria

2018

This dissertation focuses on understanding the social material interaction between e-waste and e-scrappers for sustainable management of e-waste. Previous studies mainly concentrate on the detrimental environmental impact of e-scrappers activities, the economic and political influences of e-waste on the e-scrappers, the material flow of e-waste and the exportation of valuable e-waste extracts from highly industrialized countries to less industrialized countries. The aim of the dissertation is therefore to extend the scope of the previous studies by investigating the social material interaction between e-scrappers and e-waste. To achieve this aim, this study examines the following research q…
