‘I shared the joy’: sport-related social support and communality on Instagram
2020
The popularity of sharing photographs on digital platforms has increased significantly due to the communicative affordances of mobile media and the emergence of photo-sharing applications, such as Instagram. In this paper, we examine how social support and communality can be built and reinforced through digital visual communication. We focus especially on photo sharing in the context of recreational climbing and trail running. In a qualitative study with Finnish climbers and runners, we asked what meanings sports practitioners ascribe to the practice of sharing and observed how they communicate these meanings through photographs. The results indicate that different types of visual content b…
ReviewingMildred Pierce(Todd Haynes, HBO, 2011) in the Age of Postfeminism
2019
Adapted from Todd Haynes's perspective, James M. Cain's ironical take on a woman's desire for power in Mildred Pierce turns into a self-reflexive drama about the politics of postfeminism. This arti...
Popular Music and the Anthropocene
2020
International audience; We are at a major turning point, probably irreversible for thousands of years. Despite the continued use of slogans like ‘Save the Planet’, it is living beings, more than the Earth (which has already seen many upheavals) who are threatened with extinction. Although the proponents of the term Anthropocene agree that human activities have become a force that is influencing the geological course of the Earth, and stratigraphers are already finding traces of that process in rocks and sediments (Zalasiewicz 2010), we can however identify two contrasting narratives about the Anthropocene.
Russia’s cultural policy abroad as a projection of the “Russian World”
2023
The policy review discusses the recent developments in Russian cultural policy. These developments incorporate Russian culture into its geo-political ambitions. Obviously, the war in Ukraine makes these developments relevant. However, this review piece also seeks to explain the place of cultural policy in the Russian political system and the scope of its geopolitical ambitions. nonPeerReviewed
DRÁCULA AND THE LITERARY CRITERIA SPECIALIZED IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE (1972-2017)
2018
The present article strives to analyse, in a necessarily synthetic way, the main interpretive currents that have led to the study of Dracula, the novel published by Bram Stoker in 1897. The objective is to better capture what academic interests this novel has generated and how it has gone from being considered a mediocre product to becoming a classic of contemporary literature. Beginning in the seventies, I will expose the evolution of the critique and its most important contributions, focusing on those works that have represented a turning point in the studies on the novel. I hope to complete a broad enough overview of the evolution and state of research around Dracula.
Post memory and cinematic affect in The Midwife
2017
The Second World War has proved a rich source of inspiration for fiction films worldwide. The Finnish fiction film The Midwife (Kätilö, Antti J. Jokinen, 2015) is aimed at an international audience with a story that takes place in the context of the Lapland War in Finland in 1944. The film tells of a romantic relationship between a local woman and a member of the German army, in a highly affective manner. This article argues that the film downplays elements that might have interested the national, or local, audience, and that it privileges affect over knowledge. To bring out the film’s transnational character, the article begins by analysing it in the context of national, or local, and glob…
El «quillotrador donaire» de Caldeira: comicidad e ingenio de un gracioso itinerante
2020
La reparticion de la comicidad en Mari Hernandez, la gallega procede esencialmente de la duplice escenificacion de los espacios dramaticos que connotan la accion, revelando una distribucion fragmentaria que muestra, por un lado, el recurso a la comicidad rustica, por otro la presencia constante del gracioso. Este ensayo analiza especificamente las modalidades de expresion de lo comico que caracterizan a Caldeira, cuyo personaje se define de manera convencional a traves de un recurso sistematico a los topicos mas habituales del papel risible y que se expresan segun los codigos de la comicidad que la comedia aurea va elaborando en su progresiva evolucion.

«Pues reprimamos / esta fiera condición»: márgenes para la rebeldía en la tragedia del Siglo de Oro
2018
La tragedia surge en el entorno griego pero evoluciona hacia parametros tematicos diferentes acordes con el universo simbolico de la epoca que la acoge, aunque su arquitectura formal permanezca pese a variar los acentos de sus lecturas. Asi, en el Siglo de Oro, la fatalidad sera sustituida por la responsabilidad, que ya no recae en los dioses sino en el personaje. Mas dotando al heroe de libre albedrio, convirtiendolo en artifice de su destino y haciendo de la divinidad un testigo de las faltas y no un agente de las mismas, la tragedia barroca abrio un margen para la rebeldia que encontro distintos resquicios por los que colarse. Analizaremos esos margenes por los que transitan las conducta…
Classification et chronologie de bas fourneaux de réduction du fer à usage unique au sud-ouest du Niger
2016
In southwestern Niger, near Niamey, several thousand single-use bloomery furnaces have been mapped and identified. The archaeological study of approximately 30 furnaces and their slag reveals the existence of four methods for iron smelting: three types of pit furnace and one slag-tapping type. The slag pit furnaces are clearly differentiated by the form and volume of their pits. All slag-tapping furnaces drain off slag through small openings. The slag is tapped either vertically or laterally. According to radiocarbon dates, the smelting activity developed in the 2 nd century AD and intensified through to the 14 th century. It continued to evolve until the middle of the 20 th century. The lo…
