By taking the viewpoint of a citizen of a modern nation-state, this paper wants to open the question of how citizens and their values are positioned in relation to the modern state and its security policy within this progress. In particular, as the two latter concepts are in motion towards some new essence.

Managing Relations: a study of positioning strategies in British international discourse
2008
This work deals with corpus-assisted research into speaker ideological positioning in the language of diplomacy. It concentrates on the resources used by the foreign minister Margaret Beckett to construe the speaker “orientation” (Lemke 1992) through the analysis of the main participant in the discourse that is international community and the subject matter being debated namely terrorism. The findings have shown assertiveness and determination from the speaker by the use of contractive mechanisms. The image of the international community is based on cooperation and unity just like a family and it is appraised mainly through judgements of tenacity. These are the resources required to fight t…
"I'm telling you, if I was a single man, none of this would be happening" : representation of Miranda Hobbes in the television series Sex and the City
2016
Medialla ja etenkin televisiosarjoilla on merkittävä rooli naisten representaatioiden luomisessa. Sarjojen ja elokuvien katselu on moninaistunut uusien teknologisten laitteiden ja katselupalveluiden avulla avaten uusia katselumahdollisuuksia, jotka eivät ole riippuvaisia ajasta ja paikasta. Median tuottamien representaatioiden tarkoitus on luoda tiettyjä naiskuvia, joihin naiskatsojat voisivat ja haluaisivat samaistua. Tämä tutkielma käsittelee Sex and the City –sarjan Miranda Hobbesin representaatiota postfeministisen sankarittaren näkökulmasta. Valitsin Mirandan hahmon tutkimukseni kohteeksi, sillä hänen hahmoaan ei ollut juurikaan tutkittu aikaisemmin postfeminismin näkökulmasta. Halusin…
Povertà, corsi di vita, welfare, riflessività
2019
The paper summarizes the sociological debate on the issues of poverty and social exclusion, focusing on the relationship between the micro and macrosociological dimensions of social relations.

The paper presents a clear picture not only of these complex interconnections, but also of individual and family strategies for coping with vulnerability.
A faceless threat or vulnerable individuals? : the representations of refugees in British newspapers during the European refugee crisis
2017
Pakolaisuus on hyvin ajankohtainen ja vakava ilmiö, joka tuo mukanaan moraalisia velvollisuuksia, taloudellisia haasteita sekä kysymyksiä tasa-arvon ja ihmisoikeuksien toteutumisesta. Vuonna 2015 alkaneen Euroopan pakolaiskriisin vuoksi pakolaiset ovat olleet jatkuvasti uutisotsikoissa. Maahanmuuton räjähdysmäinen kasvu on saanut aikaan voimakkaita reaktioita aiheuttaen sekä solidaarisuutta että ennakkoluulojen siivittämää vastustusta. Median rooli ilmiössä on valtava, sillä se ilmaisee, muokkaa ja vahvistaa ihmisten asenteita ja mielikuvia. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää miten pakolaisia representoidaan brittiläisissä sanomalehdissä, pyrkien paljastamaan mahdollista negatiivi…
Time Deixis in Engineering Discourse
2021
Nowadays, it has become commonly accepted that the meaning of linguistic elements is interconnected with the context of their use. Deixis is one of the classical pragmatic phenomena that illustrates that context-dependence is inherent in language as meaning of deictic expressions cannot be constructed without the identification of the speech event where these expressions occurred. The present article discusses cases of time deixis in the context of engineering discourse. The goal of the research is to demonstrate how the deictic expression use in different genres of professional discourse impacts meaning construction. The study deals with the data obtained from scientific articles, encyclop…
Traducción e ideología en Legiones y Falanges/Legioni e Falangi
2019
This paper aims to demonstrate the link between the press and the diffusion of an ideology through the practice of translation, as the discursive product of a complex communicative situation, conditioned by the contexts of the author, the translator and the recipient of the translation given that the context determines the identity of the locutors, a translation always reflects an ideology, a “socially shared belief system” by the members of a “collective of social actors” (van dijk, 2005: 10) This paper will explore how the translator selects the discursive substance according to the ideology of the elites of the totalitarian power, who exploit discourse as an instrument to influence the b…

Legiones y Falanges: construcción lingüístico-discursiva del enemigo
2017
The press, in addition to reflecting a “vocation of information “, performs a series of social functions, among which the formation of citizens and of critical recipients of mediatic discourse stands out. Yet, especially in some socio-political contexts, the press can be a vehicle for a certain type of ideology, becoming an instrument to orient the recipient or, in extreme cases, manipulate them, in order to justify or reinforce the image of a dominant ideological group. In this sense, the magazine Legiones y Falanges (1940-43) is exemplary, since, with a clearly populist discourse, it aims to extol the ideological foundations of Franco’s dictatorship. In other words, the main objective of …
