Immersive gaming as journalism

2021

This chapter discusses immersion and how it may be applied to journalism. It begins by unraveling the concept of immersion itself as a reminder that it is not only connected to virtual reality or augmented reality technologies, but rather that it is a multifaceted concept that may be understood in many ways. The chapter turns specifically to the theorizing done in the context of digital games research, where immersion and some related concepts have been explored in detail over the last decades. This theorizing helps us see how immersion can be understood and in what way the concept may be problematic. The chapter maps out some of the historical precedents for immersion, discusses alternativ…

Suomessa vieraan kielen opiskelu aloitetaan tavallisimmin kolmannella luokalla, ja suurimmalle osalle oppilaista tämä kieli on englanti. Tällöin oppilas alkaa rakentaa kuvaa sekä englannin kielestä että itsestään englannin kielen opiskelijana. Onnistumisen kokemukset ovat tässä vaiheessa tärkeitä, ja yksi tapa niiden mahdollistamiseen on oppilaan oppimistyyliä vastaava opetus. Kolmannen luokan englannin oppitunneille osallistuu kuitenkin heterogeeninen ryhmä erilaisia oppijoita, minkä vuoksi on käytettävä vaihtelevia opetusmenetelmiä. Tässä tutkimuksessa keskityttiin seuraaviin oppimistyyleihin: visuaalinen, auditiivinen, kinesteettinen, taktiilinen sekä ryhmässä ja yksin oppiminen. Näistä …

Il bisogno di fotografare. La fotografia nell’epoca delle immagini in digitale

2019

La proliferazione e l’ubiquità delle immagini pongono in maniera pressante la questione del loro senso e del tipo di esperienze cui danno luogo. Tuttavia la loro quantità, certamente eccessiva, non placa il bisogno che abbiamo di produrle, di condividerle e di sfruttare sino in fondo la loro capacità di rendere conto della contemporaneità. La fotografia è certamente una delle forme mediali che più ha contribuito alla costituzione di un ecosistema digitale. Ciò che è in gioco non è infatti semplicemente la natura delle immagini fotografiche ma più in generale la ristrutturazione del reale attraverso la mediazione del digitale. Il volume propone un’estetica della fotografia a partire delle pi…

Tappeleva rapuhirviö : kauhun estetiikka lastenkulttuurissa

2016

Horror in picture books aimed at children appears in many forms and may be interpreted in multiple ways. It may include ghosts and monsters, nightmares and existential fears, or, violence and content labelled as “difficult”. These elements may be portrayed and interpreted as intellectually challenging and up- lifting, as cute, normal and ”not really frightening”, or as something violent and harmful or possibly empowering. In other words, cultural horror and the ways in which we discuss or use it may aim to shock, to reassure, or to entertain. The chosen way of meaning making depends on and reflects the social positioning and performative aims of the producer or interpreter. In this study, t…

Controversies in ameloblastoma management: Evaluation of decision making, based on a retrospective analysis

2020

Background The ameloblastoma management is still challenging to the high recurrence rates and significant morbidity associated with radical treatment. The purpose of this 10-year retrospective study was to analyze the influence of ameloblastoma type and treatment strategy on the long-term outcomes and recurrence rates. Material and Methods The retrospective analyses of 64 histologically-confirmed ameloblastoma cases was performed. The possible risk factors for recurrence and the development of complications were estimated statistically. Results The treatment strategy applied for this group of patients was the following: thirty-four patients (53.1%) were treated conservatively with enucleati…

Neuroaesthetic exploration on the cognitive processing behind repeating graphics

2022

Repeating graphics are common research objects in modern design education. However, we do not exactly know the attentional processes underlying graphic artifacts consisting of repeating rhythms. In this experiment, the event-related potential, a neuroscientific measure, was used to study the neural correlates of repeating graphics within graded orderliness. We simulated the competitive identification process of people recognizing artifacts with graded repeating rhythms from a scattered natural environment with the oddball paradigm. In the earlier attentional processing related to the P2 component around the Fz electrode within the 150−250 ms range, a middle-grade repeating rhythm (Target 1)…

Imagery and Religious Conversion. The Symbolic Function of Jonah 1:13

2018

Jonah 1:13 has a delaying function in the narrative, introducing a pause between Jonah’s demand to be thrown in the sea (1:12) and the event’s occurrence (1:15). Most commentators discuss only the events of 1:13 and their causes. In this article, I suggest an interpretation of Jonah 1:13 based on the imagery of the narrative. An analysis of the use of metaphors and symbols does not replace the message of the verse; such an analysis simply augments it with motives of the seamen’s conversion. Beside the narrative level, there is a hidden level suggesting a deeper understanding of the story where symbols and metaphors have a consolidating function. Distance, directions, and movement in Jonah 1…

Style and Values – a Case Study of Theologian’s Lectures

2018

The aim of the paper is to analyse the stylistic methods Krzysztof Grzywocz uses in talking about values in his lectures published in the book W duchu i przyjaźni [In spirit and friendship]. It is the whole book, six hundred pages of his collected works, but in particular the one-hundred-page long chapter entitled “The Value of a Human Being”, which is the focus of this paper. The multilayer and interdisciplinary approach to values could be observed in those texts. The author was a theologian, psychotherapist, exorcist and aesthetician, a man who appreciated literature, art, and beauties of everyday life. He was both a theoretician and practitioner of axiology. He answers the questions what…
