When everyone is special : gender representation in League of legends
2012
Median vaikutusta sukupuolirooleihin ja niiden tulkintaan on jo pitkään tutkittu eritoten televisiosarjojen osalta. Televisiosarjojen tavoin pelit tavoittavat usein suuria yleisöjä ja täten vaikuttavat jo tarjontansa puolesta käyttäjiensä odotuksiin sukupuoliroolien suhteen. Tästä huolimatta pelejä ja pelien välittämiä sukupuolirooleja on tutkittu verrattain vähän. Tämä työ tarkasteleekin, miten naishahmoja edustetaan suositussa League of Legends-pelissä ja millaisia sukupuolirooleja peli luo. Työn analyysi on jaettu kahteen osaan: ensiksi tarkastellaan pelissä esiintyvien hahmojen määrällistä suhdetta toisiinsa, eli kuinka moni pelin hahmoista on mies- tai naispuolinen, missä rooleissa hah…
Gender representations of displeasure : "Women 'throw tantrums', while men just 'get angry'."
2009
Tämä kandidaatin tutkimus pohjautuu stereotypiaan miehen ja naisen tunneeroista: Naiset saavat kiukkupuuskia, mutta miehet tulevat vihaisiksi . Tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää stereotyyppisten sukupuolirepresentaatioiden paikkansapitävyyttä englanninkielisessä kaunokirjallisuudessa ja uutisteksteissä. Tämä on sekä kvalitatiivinen että kvantitatiivinen korpustutkimus, joka kartoittaa naisten ja miesten kiukkupuuskien ja vihan representaatiota hakusanoilla tantrum, tantrums ja angry. Tutkimusaineisto oli peräisin sekä mies että naiskirjailijoilta. Vaikka tutkimus pohjautuu korpukseen (BNCWeb), se on pohjimmiltaan kuitenkin sosiolingvistinen. Tutkimuksen taustalla vaikuttavat naistutkimus…
Mellom kunnskapsdiskurs og sosial diskurs: Ukeplaner som sjanger og vurderingspraksis
2018
Denne artikkelen undersoker ukeplanen slik den brukes og forstas i kommunikasjonen mellom skole og hjem i barneskolen i Norge. Vi ser ukeplanen som en type funksjonell sakprosa som er svaert utbredt, og analyserer hvordan sjangeren ukeplan er utformet, hvilke funksjoner den fyller, og hvordan den posisjonerer barn og foresatte i forhold til skolens vurderingsarbeid. Analysen omfatter 34 ukeplaner samlet inn fra 12 skoler med spredning i geografi og klassetrinn. Ukeplanene er utpreget multimodale tekster, og utformingen analyseres i form av meningsklynger som danner monstre av obligatoriske og valgfrie elementer. Basert pa kritisk diskursanalyse undersokes ukeplanen som en sjanger som gjor e…
Korpusavusteinen diskurssintutkimus (CADS): analyysiesimerkki homouden ja heterouden digitaalisista diskursseista
2018
The article aims at combining two methodological approaches, namely corpus linguistics and discourse studies. Both of these approaches are present in corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS) which makes use of both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. First, an attempt is made to discuss the differences and similarities of these two traditions based on Leech’s (2000) listing. However, it turns out that this listing does not include all necessary viewpoints, and those are further discussed. In the empirical section of the paper, the Suomi24 corpus is analysed in order to provide an example of CADS. The analysis was carried out through collocation and discourse prosody analyses. The re…
Qualities of mathematical discourses in kindergartens
2020
AbstractIn this study we investigated qualities of the mathematical discourse in four kindergarten classes in which kindergarten teachers and 5-year-old children engaged in mathematical learning activities. We analysed differences in the mathematical discourses in two experimental kindergarten classes and two control kindergarten classes, in a research and development project. The overarching research question guiding our study was as follows: what characterises the mathematical discourse unfolding in kindergarten classes? In our study we drew on the theoretical framework Mathematical Discourse in Instruction coined by Adler and Ronda, as we quantified the collected qualitative data. Our an…
Graffiti, Street Art, Urban Art: Terminological Problems and Generic Properties
2013
In the last ten years, street art has become a very important factor in the international art scene. It has become a precious object to buy and preserve, and yet there is considerable confusion about the generic properties and definition of street art in academic research. As a rightful part of popular culture and urban culture, street art is not pure and independent. It intertwines with different art forms and urban subcultures and nurtures spin-off production. Therefore it is quite hard to trace its borders. Street art is not graffiti. They are different visual expressions and even though they might share the same space, artists and techniques, they still produce visually and conceptually…
Ecological modernisation and discourses on rural non-wood bioenergy production in Finland from 1980 to 2005
2009
Abstract Rural bioenergy production is currently a much debated question worldwide. It is closely connected to questions of environmental protection and rural development in both developing and industrial world. In Finland, rural bioenergy production has traditionally meant the production of wood fuels for heating purposes. The utilisation of forest biomasses is undiminished even today, and other biomasses are scarcely used for energy production. The purpose of this article is to discuss the possibility of widening the bioenergy production palette to include biomasses other than forest-based woody ones. This matter is approached from an environmental aspect using the concept of ecological m…
Interaction between clients and physiotherapists in group exercise classes in geriatric rehabilitation
2009
The aim of this paper is to explore how older people construct their interaction in group exercise classes in geriatric rehabilitation and what is their contribution to the interaction. Discourse analysis was employed and data, consisting of seven videotaped group-based exercise sessions, were collected from 52 older people (aged 66–93 years) and nine rehabilitation professionals in seven rehabilitation centres. Four discourse categories were found. In “taciturn exercising”, older people remained verbally silent but physically active. In “submissive disagreeing”, older people opposed the professionals’ agenda by displaying reluctant consent to proposals. In “resilient endeavouring”, older a…
WITHDRAWN: What is the role of Pôle Emploi? Crossed representations among job seekers and careers advisers: Between requests for help and types of su…
2020
Abstract Introduction Since 2008, Pole Emploi (PE), the French government agency responsible for handling unemployment matters and unemployment benefits, has undergone a major restructuring, influencing the work of careers advisers (CA) and the support and follow-up services provided to job seekers (JS). This study examines the representations of PE and support among both CAs and JSs. Objectives The aim of the study is to contribute to a reflection on CA training. Method In the first study, 84 CAs and 125 JSs responded to a questionnaire using a word association task (WAT). In the second study, interviews were conducted with 22 CAs and 19 JSs. The data were analyzed based on a lexicometric …
