Promoting neoliberal ideology in Finnish rural community development : the creation of new moral actors
2019
Today’s political ambitions are based on the neoliberal aspiration to diminish the state’s role and responsibilities, and to transfer those responsibilities to local communities and individuals in ways that idealise those communities, promising to ‘give power to the people’. Instead of highlighting individualism, neoliberalism now celebrates communities and participation. This article deals with the effects of this ideology with regard to Finnish rural policy objectives. Drawing on Finnish village action programmes as data, we argue that these ideological views aim to transform individuals and create new moral actors. Our research indicates that Finland’s rural policy objectives invoke acto…

The Gender Politics of Celebrity Humanitarianism in Africa
2011
This article examines Anglo-American news media through a discourse-theoretical framework to study first, how celebrities are constituted as gendered humanitarian subjects acting on behalf of African problems, and second, how the concept of ‘Africa’ is produced, not only as a place, but also as a purpose in the world system. The debate surrounding celebrities is at an impasse, where they are seen as either instrumental or detrimental to African development. To break this standoff, we begin by placing celebrities in their neo-colonial context. We argue that the legitimacy of Bono, Bob Geldof and Angelina Jolie as humanitarian actors is underpinned by particular reproductions of race, class a…
Young adults and the tuning of the entrepreneurial mindset in neoliberal capitalism
2019
Enhancing the entrepreneurial spirit of young people is a means by which their employability and future potential as well as economic growth, the core goal of national policies, are incubated. Consequently, individuals performing entrepreneurial mindset are seen to possess the most future potential. We sketch the contours of this mindset and develop the idea of ‘tuning’ the entrepreneurial mindset with other discursive elements, or ‘ingredients’, available in society in order to make the overarching idea of entrepreneurialism more manageable, bearable, and even enjoyable at the individual level. The ingredients with which the mindset is tuned are non-depressiveness, happiness, and gratefuln…
Un nuovo contributo sul rapporto tra il fondatore del popolarismo e il teorico della rivoluzione liberale. Luigi Sturzo e Piero Gobetti.
2018
Accostare Luigi Sturzo e Piero Gobetti sembra, a primo approccio, un’operazione non semplice, non ortodossa. In effetti i due personaggi sono molto distanti per formazione, pensiero e azione politica. Eppure, fra i due esiste una sorta di «comunità spirituale», per usare le parole che lo stesso Sturzo, parlando di Gobetti, ebbe a dire in una delle tante conversazioni avute con Gabriele De Rosa, a cui aggiungeva che «le sue cose migliori le aveva scritte mentre operava concretamente con i volumi editi da Gobetti»

Totalitarismo y dictadura: Arendt para leer la historia reciente de Chile
2017
***Totalitarianism and dictatorship: Arendt to read chilean’s recent history***This article seeks to expose and discuss the pertinence or inpertinence of two key concepts in the thinking of Hannah Arendt, to describe and understand fundamental processes of Chile's recent history: In one hand, 'totalitarianism' as a regime founded on Terror to refer to the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet that took place between 1973 and 1989. In other hand 'labor society' as a form of post-totalitarian society, oriented to labor and consumption, to describe one of the central aspects of the neoliberal society that the Chilean dictatorship installs. Este artículo busca exponer y discutir la pertinencia o la …
