The blog as a communication tool : an analysis of Finnish museums' blogs
2016
Bloggaaminen on ollut tasaisesti nousussa oleva trendi sosiaalisessa mediassa 1990-luvun lopulta alkaen. Sosiaalisesta mediasta löytyy monenlaisia blogeja eri aiheista ja eri aloilta. Uusi järjestöjen blogilaji ilmestyi 2000-luvun alussa, nimittäin museoblogi. Museoiden läsnäolo sosiaalisessa mediassa on kasvanut merkittävästi viime vuosikymmeninä, ja samalla museot muuttuivat enemmän yleisösuuntautuneiksi ja avoimiksi uusille viestintämahdollisuuksille. Bloggaaminen on uusi tapa lisätä museoiden läsnäoloa sosiaalisessa mediassa, kommunikoida ja olla vuorovaikutuksessa kävijöiden kanssa sekä markkinoida palvelujaan. Tämä tutkimus analysoi neljäkymmentäkuusi suomalaista museoblogia korostama…
“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…
The Blog, the Blogger and the Other on the Net
2008
This work describes a qualitative research, still in progress, about blogging. This experience is fully linked to the concept of "social presence": users feel "to be there" in the virtual environment. From a brief review of researches about blogging, we propose a work that, through a semi-structured interview (submitted on line), could analyze the mental representations of bloggers. Moreover, we have the purpose to read these impressions through a key pattern of interactions between blog, blogger and other users. The primary goal of this study, still preparatory, is to explore the psychological means of blogging.
Intersections of Mobility and Belonging : Blogging Subjectivities of Finns on the Move
2019
Abstract As components of the contemporary experience, mobility and displacement (Appadurai 1990; Said 2002) are accompanied by our need to belong: while global mobility is encouraged by and expected from the educated ex-pats and temporary workers, the “flows” of migrants cause “debates, challenges, and crises” in the European nation-states (Skey 2014). Yet, in the novel interest in digital mobilities, the analysis of personal experiences has been left aside. In this article, the focus is on affective accounts of mobility and belonging. The autobiographical narratives published in the blogosphere are analyzed to shed light on the processes of multi-sited place attachments. The analysis of i…
Eating disorders on the web: risks and resources.
2009
Our work is aimed at exploring the recent literature data on web sites, forums, and blogs, which promote eating disorders as normal life styles and their implication in the changes of the psychopatology of such disorders. We also want to understand whether new technologies have an impact in the course of the disorders or, on the other hand, whether they can also represent an instrument for searching help or information about them. The search strategy included a search of PsycINFO, Medline, and Ovid databases to identify research reports about pro-ana sites and their implication on the course of anorexia using the following key words: pro-ana, thinspiration, anorexia-web, online help eating …
Kotiblogien julkiset käpertymisen maisemat
2014
Tarkastelemme tässä artikkelissa naisten kirjoittamien blogien joukkoa, jota nimitämme kotiblogeiksi. Analysoimme sitä, miten kodista tulee maisema ja millaisista maisemista blogien kuvasto koostuu. Osoitamme, että koti elettynä paikkana ja julkisesti kotiblogeissa representoituna kuvastona ovat jännitteisessä suhteessa toisiinsa. Lisäksi kysymme, mitkä ovat kotiblogien maisemien modaliteetit ja miten niiden kautta tuotetaan sukupuolta peerReviewed
Homing blogs as ambivalent spaces for feminine agency
2017
This article discusses a form of lifestyle blogging where women blog about their homes and everyday lives. In these homing blogs, selfrepresentations are characteristically spatially demarcated within the private sphere of the home. As these repeated representations of women in their homes take place in the public space of the internet, homing blogs work towards naturalizing the home as a women’s sphere. Written and commented on mostly by other women, homing blogs represent a feminine form of self-expression and communication that functions as a discursive expression of ongoing social, economic, and cultural changes in affluent Western societies. In this article, Finnish versions of these h…
