Anti-schoolness in context: the tension between the youth project and the qualifications project
2011
Published version of an article in the journal Social Psychology of Education. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11218-011-9153-3 In this ethnographic study conducted in two classrooms in Norway, grade nine (14-year-olds) in lower secondary school and the first year (16-year-olds) of upper secondary school, attention is drawn to how classroom culture is constituted through relationships between students. Through processes of power, dominance, hegemony and marginalisation, classroom culture forms the conditions for a learning environment, and has different opportunities, dilemmas and costs for the students. As classroom culture is negotiated in contextual and r…
Voice and authorial body in Juana Manso
2021
El estilo de Juana Manso fue calificado por Sarmiento como «escandaloso». Esa manera inequívoca de presentarse públicamente delimitó desde entonces un modo de existencia, de circulación y de funcionamiento de su figura autorial en el campo cultural argentino de mediados de siglo XIX. Este artículo se propone rastrear esta singular «puesta en escena» de la escritora como un dispositivo de enunciación que no se limita a sus textos, en la doble dimensión que ocupa, como autora y como actora de ese campo. ¿Cómo se construye, en esta puesta escena, su voz y su imagen?, ¿Cómo se difunde ese cuerpo de autora? En la conjunción de género y profesión, la función-Manso se concreta en un tono de escrit…
The Relationship between Femininity and Sustainability Reporting
2017
Most research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure and stakeholder engagement with sustainable development has focused on the internal factors of corporations, leaving aside the characteristics of the institutional, cultural, and economic context of the country where corporations operate. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of femininity in the disclosure of sustainability information based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines at a developed country context. We use three measures of the CSR information disclosure by country: the GRI reports per million of inhabitants, the GRI reports application level, and the percentage of GRI reports wit…

La representación de la "femme fatale" en el universo narrativo de "Muerte de un ciclista" (Juan Antonio Bardem, 1955)
2017
Este artículo analiza la representación de la femme fatale en Muerte de un ciclista (Juan Antonio Bardem, 1955) como un recurso sintomático de la disidencia de Bardem respecto a la dictadura franquista. Partiendo de una perspectiva interdisciplinar que considera las aportaciones de la teoría semiótica y la teoría fílmica feminista, se aplica una metodología de análisis textual que atiende tanto a la estructura narrativa del film como a los procesos de significación, visuales y sintácticos, asociados a la femme fatale. Las conclusiones del análisis muestran un estereotipo fuertemente codificado y anclado en la narrativa clásica de la sanción, revelando la dificultad de articular, en el cine …
Symbols and Meanings in Breast Cancer Awareness Campaigns
2013
This article examines symbols and meanings in breast cancer awareness campaigns, and the ways in which multifarious actors draw attention to the disease. We discuss what the various campaigns and initiatives can indicate, above and beyond creating breast cancer awareness. Our data stem from sources such as printed material, the Internet, and events. From these sources we have singled out and explored objects, text, and visual expressions, looking in particular for metaphors and symbolic aspects. In this article we present six “images” indicating the underlying patterns that we found. We have called the images Re-enchantment of femininity, Infantilization, Corporate profit-making, Objectific…
From a Disney princess to a modern-day queen : agency and womanhood in Disney lyrics
2015
Walt Disney Company on kulttuurisen ja taloudellisen menestyksensä myötä vaikuttanut suuresti naisidentiteettien muodostumiseen. Disney tarjoaa viihdettä koko perheelle, mutta viime aikoina Disney on keskittynyt erityisesti luomaan ohjelmia ja tuotesarjoja nuorille tytöille. Yksi näistä myyntimenestyksistä on Disney Princess –tuotesarja, jonka kahdeksan Disney -prinsessaa toimivat lukuisten tuotteiden kasvoina. Tyypillinen Disney -prinsessa on kaunis, hyväsydäminen ja viaton sekä usein vahvojen naishahmojen vihan uhri. Erityisesti kolme ensimmäistä prinsessaa (Lumikki, Tuhkimo ja Prinsessa Ruusunen) edustavat hyvin patriarkaalista naiskuvaa, jonka mukaan nainen odottaa passiivisesti hääpäiv…

Explosive Self-Confident Femininity: Experienced and Remembered Girl Energy
2017
This chapter focuses on how the target group of the 1990s girl power phenomenon made meaning of girl power in the Finnish context. The chapter takes a retrospective look at the phenomenon through the lens of girl energy, a concept used for girl power in Finland. Through memory work, Aino Tormulainen, Heta Mulari and Myry Voipio analyze a sample of adult women’s experiences of being adolescents during the most intensive years of Finnish girl energy. The chapter focuses on three key themes through which the informants remembered the phenomenon: femininity, gender equality, and friendship.
