"Make him worship you" : the representation of feminine sexuality and female discourses in Seventeen and Cosmopolitan

2017

Medialla on keskeinen rooli mielikuvien ja ajatusten välittäjänä. Naistenlehdet ovat vakiintuneet keskeiseksi osaksi nykypäivän mediakenttää, ja niiden edullisuus sekä laaja levinneisyys ovat herättäneet myös tutkijoiden mielenkiinnon. Monet heistä ovat pyrkineet selvittämään millaisia representaatiota naistenlehdet tarjoavat lukijoilleen. Erityisesti seksuaalisuuden kuvaaminen lehdissä on noussut tärkeäksi osaksi tutkimuskenttää, sillä aiheeseen liittyvän sisällön määrä on viime vuosikymmeninä lisääntynyt monissa naisille suunnatuissa julkaisuissa. Lehtien representaatioilla on merkittävä rooli naisten seksuaalisuutta koskevien käsitysten välittäjänä sekä näiden käsitysten muokkaajana. Täm…

Sad, lonely and looking for love? : representations of singleness on Cosmopolitan.com

2016

Yhdysvaltalaisessa yhteiskunnassa arvostetaan suuresti avioliittoa ja parisuhdetta, jonka ajatellaan olevan elämän tärkein ihmissuhde. Vaikka yksineläjien määrä on viimeisten vuosikymmenien aikana ollut kasvussa, asenteet yksineläjiä ja yksineläjyyttä kohtaan ovat silti usein negatiivisia ja kyseenalaistamattomia. Niihin liittyvät negatiiviset stereotypiat heijastuvat mediarepresentaatioissa. Se, miten media puhuu yksineläjyydestä ja parisuhteista vaikuttaa ihmisten ajatusmaailmoihin sekä olemassa oleviin diskursiivisiin resursseihin, joiden avulla yksineläjät voivat käsitellä elämäänsä ja rakentaa identiteettiään. Tämä tutkielma tarkastelee yksineläjyyden representaatioita nuorille naisill…

From art after Auschwitz towards a sociology of disrespect of Buchenwald

2017

The aesthetic works of the Frankfurt School receive little attention by contemporary sociology. However, the article shows the relevance of aesthetic theory for a critical understanding of the social world. Therefore, we introduce the contradictions presented by critical theory of society especially after Auschwitz and we ask ourselves about how to conceive the inconceivable when the tools of Enlightenment are intrinsically guilty. Finally, we propose a mosaic of aesthetic sociology of disrespect as an option to overcome the paradoxes of Auschwitz. This procedure is related to the artistic production around the concentration camp of Buchenwald.

The Calatrava model: reflections on resilience and urban plasticity

2016

ABSTRACTThe article introduces a critical reflection on the effects that the version of cultural capitalism based on large events and architectural symbols has on the resilience of cities when used as an engine, and not as a complement to the policies of urban transformation. The article introduces as a case of study the so-called ‘Calatrava model’ of the city of Valencia. The model of a cultural bubble of Valencia, designed to enable a new space, is developed and contrasted with other two examples of urban transformation designed to revitalize spaces: Bilbao – symbolically represented by Frank Gehry's Guggenheim museum – and the Barcelona 22@ – symbolically represented by Jean Nouvel's Agb…

Nordic City Regions in the Creative Class Debate—Putting the Creative Class Thesis to a Test

2010

The Nordic countries have a quite different urban structure and social systems than the USA. Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden may then constitute a critical test of the empirical reach of Richard Florida's much cited creative class thesis beyond its empirical basis in the USA. This paper employs comparative statistics to examine the importance of the quality of place in attracting members of the creative class to Nordic city regions, and it analyses the role of the creative class for regional economic development. Florida's original study focused only on city regions with more than 100,000 inhabitants. Our statistical analyses mainly support Florida's results with regard to these larger …

(De)legitimating electronic surveillance : a critical discourse analysis of the Finnish news coverage of the Edward Snowden revelations

2017

In 2013, ex-National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden shocked the world by revealing the American NSA’s (and its partners’) extensive surveillance programs. The ensuing media discussion became a focal point for the justification and contestation of surveillance in the digital age. This article contributes to the growing body of literature on the discursive construction of surveillance, concentrating on how the practice is (de)legitimized. Methodologically, the paper draws on Critical Discourse Studies, applying the concept of discourse and utilizing insights from Van Leeuwen’s categories of legitimation and social actor representation. The data come from the media coverage of…

Kohti valveutumista ja ajattelun rajoja kriittisen pedagogiikan keinoilla

2018

Katsauksessa pohdimme kriittisen pedagogiikan mahdollisuuksia lisätä opettajaopiskelijoiden kykyä jäsentää yhteiskunnallisten ilmiöiden suhdetta kasvatukseen. Esimerkkinä käytämme Lapset elämänsä valtiaiksi -hanketta, jota Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulun sosionomikoulutuksessa on toteutettu Venäjällä ja Virossa. Siinä sosiokulttuurisen innostamisen avulla, opiskelijoiden oman osallistumisen kautta, pyritään luomaan solidaarisuuteen ja tasa-arvoon kurkottavia yksilöitä. Toiminnan keskeisiä arvoja ovat yhteisöllisyys, osallistuminen, dialogi ja luovuus. Prosessin päämääränä on todellisuuden kriittinen tarkastelu ja siitä kumpuava toiminta. Kriittisen pedagogiikan sovelluksia toteutetaan yliopis…

Structural Discrimination in Physical Education. The “Encounter” Between the (White) Norwegian Teaching Content in Physical Education Lessons and Fem…

2021

Background: Throughout society, including in the field of sports and physical education (PE), there are extensive debates on racism and structural racism. Researchers have found that students of color experience racial stereotyping and discrimination in PE. Studies also show that PE teaching practices reflect a masculine culture, emphasizing traditional (Western) competitive male sports and physical fitness practices, while marginalizing female students of color. Simultaneously these students also negotiate, resist, and operate as visible agents within these practices. While previous research has tended toward focusing on the experiences (of discrimination) from the perspective of students …

Le burn-out en réanimation : évaluation, prévention et dispositifs d’intervention

2020

Les professionnels de réanimation sont confrontés de façon répétitives et intenses à de nombreux facteurs de stress les rendant plus vulnérables au développement d’un burn-out. Le burn-out constitue le stade final d’une rupture d’adaptation suite à un déséquilibre entre les exigences professionnelles et les ressources de l’individu. Il affecte directement la santé mentale et physique des professionnels et est associé à une diminution de la qualité et de la sécurité des soins et à une augmentation des départs des professionnels les plus expérimentés pour d’autres services. En réanimation de nombreuses études ont été menées sur les professionnels et les organisations lancent des appels à l’ac…
