Polis and Oikos : The Art of Politics in the Greek City-State
2020
The Greek city-state has traditionally been viewed as an entity that was divided into two distinct spheres (oikos and polis) and governed by two distinct arts (oikonomia and politikê technê). The aim of this article is to show that this image of the Greek city-state is not very accurate. The relationship between the oikos and the polis was not exclusive in classical poleis. Particularly in Athens during the democratic period, the polis was depicted as a family writ large, and to the extent that oikos was seen as an entity of its own, it was a part of the polis, not excluded from or opposed to it. My aim is to show that the art of the household and the art of politics were not distinct arts …

Sophie Hannah’s Hurting Distance as Crime Trauma Fiction
2020
Rodi-Risberg addresses trauma’s generic border-crossing movement through Sophie Hannah’s socially conscious crime thriller Hurting Distance (2007), a trauma narrative of sexual violence and emotional abuse that can be referred to as crime trauma fiction because it incorporates and blends features of both genres.

The chapter concludes that contemporary narratives of crime and trauma such as Hannah’s should be seen as an important locus not only for representing traumatic experience, …
Sosiaalisen nousu ja paljas elämä : Arendt suhteessa Foucault'n ja Agambenin edustamaan biopolitiikan teoriaperinteeseen
2016
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on vertailla Hannah Arendtin poliittista ajattelua biopolitiikan kahden keskeisen teoreetikon Michel Foucault’n ja Giorgio Agambenin ajatteluun. Arendt analysoi sosiaalisen nousua, jonka yhteydessä moderni hallinto on kiinnostunut ihmisestä ennen kaikkea ihmislajin biologisena edustajana. Michel Foucault’n teoria biovallasta puolestaan väittää, että ihmisestä on 1600- ja 1700-luvuilta lähtien kiinnostuttu hallinnollisesta näkökulmasta biologisina ruumiina ja väestöinä. Arendt ja Foucault analysoivat modernin nousuun liittyvää ilmiötä, jossa elämä ja hallinta kohtaavat uudenlaisella tavalla. Lisäksi molemmat ajattelijat käsittelevät tahoillaan biopolitiikan yhteyttä …
