Belonging, relevance and difference: discourse on gender boundaries

2021

En este trabajo, me aproximo a algunos marcos teóricos y epistemológicos utilizados en la investigación en distintos ámbitos, desde una perspectiva de género, considerando las im-plicaciones que tienen en la transformación de la realidad social y en la construcción del conocimiento diversas formas de mirar las diferencias, desigualdades y relaciones entre se-xos, y mostrando la relevancia que ha tenido en todo ello la crítica feminista a la ciencia, a través de distintos planteamientos.

Los estereotipos de género en las elecciones y expectativas de estudiantes de Educación Técnica Profesional en Argentina : diferencias regionales y d…

2020

A pesar de que en los últimos años en Argentina se amplió paulatinamente el acceso de estudiantes mujeres a la Educación Técnico Profesional, en la modalidad persisten importantes desigualdades de género. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar las motivaciones iniciales y las expectativas futuras de estudiantes que asisten a ofertas de la Educación Técnica Profesional y su relación con la persistencia – o con la transformación – de estereotipos sobre las diferencias de género en el mercado laboral.
 El abordaje metodológico fue cuanti-cualitativo. Los datos fueron construidos a partir de la aplicación de encuestas y la realización de grupos focales con estudiantes varones y m…

Distinctive and comparative places: Alternative narratives of distinction within international student mobility

2017

Moving beyond the ‘world-class’ institutional model of international student mobility, this paper examines alternative narratives of distinction relating to place of study. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with international students at universities in the UK, Austria and Latvia, we illustrate how students inside and outside mainstream reputable higher education institutions narrate and reconfigure markers of distinction to validate their international mobility and location of study, in part to compete with peers at other (more prestigious) institutions. We demonstrate the importance of lifestyle and experiential places within a global differentiated higher education landscape and argu…

The logic of the construction of rural politics: political discourses on rurality in norway

2009

Two competing discourses emerge from a careful reading of parliamentary debates in Norway on rural development. One regards rural values as intrinsic, while the other regards the rural as an actor ...

Then and Now: Comparing the Soviet and Post-Soviet Experience in Latvian Autobiographies

2009

The article deals with an autobiographical representation of diverse experiences. Namely, through the analysis of post-Soviet Latvian autobiographies the framing of the Soviet and Post-Soviet era is revealed. The article suggests that instead of using progressive fame, which might give a positive estimation of the Post-Soviet experience, the autobiographers largely employ a nostalgic frame and continuation frame. Likewise, I argue that there are certain contexts that generate different framing practices: on the one hand, we can observe a professional context, which is typical to the former Soviet public officials, whose autobiographies utilize the nostalgic frame; on the other hand, there i…

Beyond Social and Family Generations

2019

Here the theoretical foundations on which the arguments in the book are built are developed. The chapter begins by introducing the concept of generation as both a cohort-based and a family-based construction. A discussion then follows of how various forms of intergenerational solidarity and conflict shape the relationships between family generations. Particular attention is paid to the need for an approach that goes beyond any strict generational division and is more sensitive to the ways in which individual lives are interconnected through the use of digital technologies. To assist in this task, a post-Mannheimian approach to generational identity is outlined.

Language and Long Nation Building in Finnish Higher Education

2020

The chapter discusses the nation-building period of Finnish higher education. After presenting a short introduction to higher education and language policy developments in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, I will analyse the role of language in Finnish higher education from mid-nineteenth century to Finnish independence in 1917. I will then move on to the interwar years and discuss language and nationalisms in the process of founding new universities and the particular case of the bilingual University of Helsinki in the 1920s and 1930s. The interweaved nature of nationalisms and internationalisms is discussed from the perspective of international politics in general and the post…

Sukupuolistunut väkivalta Vares- ja Wallander-elokuvissa

2017

Sukupuolistunut väkivalta Vares- ja Wallander-elokuvissaArtikkelissa tarkastellaan sukupuolistuneen väkivallan representaatioita ruotsalaisissa Wallander-elokuvissa (2005–2006) ja suomalaisissa Vares-elokuvissa (2004–2015). Huomion kohteena on, miten sukupuoli ja seksuaalisuus näyttäytyvät näiden pohjoismaisten rikoselokuvien kerronnassa osana väkivaltaan liitettyjä merkityksiä, selityksiä ja asenteita. Väkivallan kulttuurisia merkityksiä analysoidaan feministisen media- ja kulttuurintutkimuksen sekä feministisen väkivaltatutkimuksen näkökulmasta. Analyysi kohdistuu siihen, mitä ja millaista väkivaltaa Vareksissa ja Wallandereissa esitetään, mitä selityksiä väkivallalle tarjoutuu sekä milla…

Conditions of cultural citizenship: intersections of gender, race and age in public debates on family migration

2015

This article analyses problem framings in public debates on family migration in Finland. The study focuses on the less-examined category of age and how it intersects with gender, race and religion. We examine the discursive context within which parliamentarians and the media negotiate questions of migration policies, belonging and citizenship. Our analysis identifies problem framings by combining frame analysis with the ‘What is the problem represented to be?’ approach, which understands policies as problematizations. We found that the debates held up the rather common notion of vulnerable women and children as groups that tighter family migration policies protect. The debates excluded cert…
