Learnings from the Finnish Game Industry
2016
The motivation behind our research was the rapid growth and business wins of world-class Finnish game companies, like Supercell, as well as the success of other game companies in Finland. In particular, Supercell's growth is something that has not been heard of before and this raised the interest to research what game companies have been doing right. Supercell is not the only Finnish success. Rovio is also well known and has the roots for success from few years before. There are also other game companies in Finland that have succeeded and this motivated us to investigate what is happening behind the game industry and what could be learned from there that could be applied to other software i…
Looking for Peace of Mind? Manage your (Technical) Debt : An Exploratory Field Study
2017
Background: In the last two decades Technical Debt (TD) has received a considerable amount of attention from software engineering research and practice. Recently, a small group of studies suggests that, in addition to its technical and economic consequences, TD can affect developers’ psychological states and morale. However, until now there has been a lack of empirical research clarifying such influences. Aims: In this study, we aim at taking the first step in filling this gap by investigating the potential impacts of TD and its management on developers’ morale. Method: Drawing from previous literature on morale, we decided to explore the influence of TD and its management on three dimensio…
Innovators and innovated: Newspapers and the postdigital future beyond the “death of print”
2017
Along with other cultural organizations, newspapers, through waves of digital disruption, have become subject to a dominant narrative of crisis. But newspapers have long participated in change. A constructivist approach, qualified by consideration of media materiality, draws attention to diverse but essential processes of innovation around them. We see a contraflow of migration from digital to print, opening up a shared media space; bonding strategies are bringing multimedia to ink on paper, while bridging via boundary objects such as QR (Quick Response) codes are connecting the two. Among other initiatives, development of automation of news production and experiments with transparency are …

Visibility without voice: Media witnessing irregular migrants in BBC online news journalism
2016
In the analysis of journalistic representation of irregular migration to Europe, rather little attention is given to the variation of modes and genres of journalism. Most studies focus on text in ‘old media’ and the news genre. This article analyses affordances of different modalities and genres of online journalism in framing irregular migrants. Media framing in BBC online news coverage of a mediatised conflict in Spain, defined as a ‘migration crisis’, is analysed with multimodal social semiotics. While mediation makes global audiences witness tragedies at Europe's borders and online journalism affords more voice and deliberation for migrant sources, the frames of threat and victim domina…
CLIL Challenges : Secondary School CLIL Teachers’ Voices and Experienced Agency in Three European Contexts
2020
This qualitative interview study focuses on CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) teacher agency in three European contexts, Austria, Finland and Andalusia, Spain. The aim of the study is to understand how individual CLIL teachers experience their agency when encountering challenges in their work and to demonstrate the multifaceted quality of their agency. The study employs the Listening Guide method (Gilligan, 2015) to listen to the voices of three secondary school subject teachers from three diverse contexts. The analysis shows that CLIL challenges both empowered and disempowered the teachers depending on how meaningful they found their work and what their possibilities to act w…
Evaluer un dispositif de formation à distance : Principes et retour d'expérience
2008
The multiplication of distance learning platforms and the complexity of some of those used within the university system raise questions. First of all, the stabilization of writing practices of digital documents. Secondly, the evaluation of these devices. We want to address this last point in this article. What is it possible to assess in this field? There are many dimensions of evaluation, depending on the angle chosen. We limit ourselves to an approach focused on evaluating the human-computer interface. The chosen testing ground is a website for law studies, developed by the University of Burgundy's further education section.
Translingual quoting in journalism : behind the scenes of Swiss television newsrooms
2019
This chapter focuses on translingual quoting (TQ), i.e. the subprocess of news-writing by which utterances from sources are both quoted and translated. Analyses of journalists’ mental and material activities suggest conceptualizing TQ as a complex and dynamic activity in which journalists’ individual and collective (e.g., institutional) language awareness, knowledge, and practices interact with multi-layered contexts of text production. Based on this empirically and theoretically grounded concept of TQ, the chapter presents a two-part typology of TQ: In sequential TQ, ready-made media items or interview materials are translated into another language; in parallel TQ, interviews and/or texts …
Mehr als Musik: Die sieben Dimensionen des Eurovision Song Contests
2008
"Der Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) ist der weltweit größte internationale Wettbewerb für populäre Musik und das erfolgreichste Fernsehunterhaltungsprogramm in Europa. Obwohl der ESC ursprünglich das Ziel verfolgte, die Entstehung neuer Lieder zu fördern, handelte es sich doch stets um ein von den Fernsehanstalten inszeniertes Medienereignis, das erst nachrangig musikökonomischen Zwecken dient. Für das Publikum ist der ESC auf Grund seiner Periodizität, seiner spezifischen Programmstruktur und nicht zuletzt des Zugehörigkeitsgefühls der Zuschauer, das auf Schemata nationaler und kultureller Identifikation beruht, zu einem hochgradig ritualisierten Medienereignis geworden. Seine Bedeutung geh…
Émile Zola et la question juive avant l'affaire Dreyfus
2017
Emile Zola’s article entitled I accuse...! (1898), accusing the French government of anti-Semitism, has been considered since its publication as a decisive voice defending not only the rights of a particular Jew, but also, in a larger context, truth, morality and justice. However, the “Jewish question” was already important for Zola before writing this text, and some subjects concerning Jews and their social perception occur as well in the Rougon-Macquart cycle as in journalistic chronicles written by the author. The paper examines the ways in which the “Jewish question” appears in Zola’s various texts.
