A qualitative study of using movies as a means of escapism between Finns and immigrants in Finland

2017

Escapist use is often considered the main use for movies in Uses and Gratification research, however there is hardly a detailed account on such use, on what the movie audience escape into. The present study, which consists of a research article and a monograph, has tried to utilize a qualitative approach to provide a better understanding of escapist movie viewing. The other aspect of this research is trying to compare such use among Finnish nationals and immigrants in Finland to see how people from different backgrounds might vary in their escapist use of movies. Although no difference between Finns and immigrants living in Finland were seen in the data, due to limitation in its scale, this…

Temporizing and Essentializing the Enemy : A Logological Reading of Finnish Lutheran Clerical War Rhetoric

2015

This article looks at the shift between logical and temporal vocabularies, called by Kenneth Burke the temporizing of essence. It combines “logology” with a rhetorical analysis of how it was applied in a concrete historical situation as a means of persuasion. First, I discuss Burke’s logology, which is the theory underlying the idea of temporized essence. Second, I turn to the notion in relation to its two main forms, origins and fruition; third, Finnish clerical rhetoric during the Continuation War 1941–44 will be analyzed using ideas drawn on logology. peerReviewed

Hedonistinen eskapismi ja kulttuurituotteiden kuluttaminen

2017

Tämän tutkimuksen tehtävänä on tutkia hedonistisen eskapismin ja kulttuurituotteiden kuluttamisen välistä suhdetta. Tutkimus alkaa hedonistisen eskapismin käsitteen määrittelyllä, jonka jälkeen teoreettista viitekehystä laajennetaan erilaisilla kulttuuritutkimuksen, yhteiskuntatieteen ja mediatutkimuksen teorioilla. Tarkoituksena on tarkastella hedonistista eskapismia osana kulttuuriteollisuuden muutosta sekä rakentaa tarkastelun myötä käsitys postmodernista kulttuurituotteiden kuluttajasta. Tutkimus on teoreettinen työ ja se lähestyy tutkimuskohdettaan osin Frankfurtin koulukunnan kriittisen teorian, mutta myös muiden nykyteoreetikkojen näkökulmien kautta. Tarkastelen hedonistista eskapism…
