"Iam nouus in terras alto descendit Olympo Iuppiter” : Patronage and propaganda in the time of Leo X (1513–1521)

2022

Giovanni de’ Medici (1475–1521), son of Lorenzo il Magnifico, was destined to a brilliant ecclesiastical career that eventually led him to the Holy See as pope Leo X (1513–1521). His reign, marked by wars and the emergence of protestantism, was also a period of intense artistic activity in Rome, with Raphael, Michelangelo, Sangallo as well as a plethora of humanist authors engaged in celebrating Leo’s feats. This article explores Leo’s patronage and propaganda, in particular through an analysis of one of the numerous poems dedicated to him by Giano Vitale Castalio of Naples (Ianus Vitalis Castalius, c. 1485–c. 1560) at the beginning of his pontificate. peerReviewed

Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman and Posthuman : Striving for More Ethical Cohabitation

2020

As Donna Haraway (2015, 160) argues, “[i]t matters which stories tell stories, which concepts think concepts. Mathematically, visually, and narratively, it matters which figures figure figures, which systems systemize systems”. The time has come for human cultures to seriously think, to diligently conceptualize, and to earnestly fabulate about all the nonhuman critters we share our world with, and to consider how to strive for more ethical cohabitation. peerReviewed

Relating with the other in naturecultures : ethics and well-being in Elfquest comics

2015

Tutkielma tarkastelee eettistä Toisen kohtaamista Elfquest -sarjakuvassa. Elfquest on yhdysvaltalaisten Wendy ja Richard Pinin vuodesta 1978 lähtien omakustanteena julkaisema populaari fantasiagenreen kuuluva sarjakuvasarja. Se sijoittuu Kahden kuun maailmaan, jota asuttavat mm. haltiat, peikot ja ihmiset. Elfquest rakentuu haltioiden alkuperän, autenttisuuden ja identiteetin etsinnän varaan ja siinä korostuvat erilaisten elämäntyylien ja maailmankuvien sovittelu ja yhteenkuuluvuus. Mukailen etiikan määrittelyssäni Emmanuel Levinasin filosofiaa, jonka mukaan Minä tulee subjektiksi vastuussaan Toista kohtaan. Tämä eettinen, interpersoonallinen suhde edeltää ontologiaa eli olemista, tietämist…

Dead Dog Talking : Posthumous, Preposthumous, and Preposterous Canine Narration in Charles Siebert’s Angus

2020

The section focusing on narrating and narrated animals opens with Mikko Keskinen’s chapter, which probes the narrational peculiarities of posthumous tales told by dogs. The primary target of Keskinen’s analysis is Charles Siebert’s novel Angus (2000), a first-person memoir of a dying Jack Russell terrier. The novel presents its canine protagonist Angus as having an outstanding command of the English language, whereby it is no surprise that his lineage turns out to be particularly literary. Yet there are curious idiosyncrasies in his parlance, which appear to suggest a uniquely cynomorphic language and worldview. Since Angus the dog resides on the border zone between human and nonhuman spher…

Basel Bank Limiting Policies as Foucauldian Power/Knowledge: Risk as Assemblages, The Case of Basel Bank Limiting Policies as Discourses

2023

I intend to write about Basel bank's limiting technologies from the point of view of trust, coming from the fact that banks have to adjust their risk understanding tools and test them constantly. It is not always known what exactly causes a risk. I am interested in risk-understanding technologies which do not govern this in advance but only require passing certain risk tests. Therefore, I will research the idea of Basel’s bank limiting technologies as assemblages that want connections only with other specified assemblages. For example, certain risk levels must be adjusted to form a harmonious whole that passes these tests. I will argue that by understanding Basel’s bank limiting technologie…

Ehdotus ihmistä suhteellistavaksi sanastoksi

2021

”Ehdotus ihmistä suhteellistavaksi sanastoksi” käsittelee ja esittelee teoriasuuntausta, joka tunnetaan ”posthumanistisena”, keskittyen erityisesti sen käsitteisiin ja termeihin. Posthumanistinen ajattelu pyrkii käsitteelliseen uudistamiseen, jotta tunnistaisimme paremmin ne suhteellisuudet, joiden varassa ja lomassa ihmisten elämä ja merkitykset muotoutuvat – ja ne historiat, joissa ihminen on muotoutunut erilliseksi. Ehdotamme sanastoa, joka suhteellistaa juuri tätä käsitteellistä, kartesiolaisen humanismin ihmistä. Yhtäältä seuraamme käsitteellisen ajattelun muotoutumista erilaisten kontekstien paineissa, toisaalta pysähdymme tarkastelemaan tiettyjä, työskentelyssämme tärkeitä käsitteitä…
