Kylväjä lähti kylvämään : René Girardin yleisteoria käsiin jaettuna

Entre prière sacrée et recueillement profane, la mimesis à l’œuvre dans les cérémonies d’obsèques nationales
2012
International audience; Politiquement marquée par l’annonce du retrait progressif des troupes françaises d’Afghanistan, l’année 2011 a été également particulièrement meurtrière pour les forces armées. Le retour des corps de soldats morts en opération a donné lieu à des cérémonies d’hommage national aux Invalides en présence du Président de la République. Chacune d’entre elles s’organise sur une semblable trame narrative en vue de la retransmission par la télévision : une cérémonie religieuse (œcuménique) suivie d’un hommage militaire et national. Il ne s’agit pas ici de discuter d’une éventuelle manifestation de signes religieux dans l’espace républicain tant il semble que les funérailles c…
La scrittura in “ascolto”: Paolo Di Stefano racconta le “voci” della migrazione
2020
Paolo Di Stefano, narratore sensibile alle urgenze individuali e sociali della contemporaneità, si è rivelato, nel corso del suo cammino di giornalista, saggista, scrittore, interprete sempre più sottile di una nozione di “terra promessa” declinata in un’accezione molteplice. La meta agognata, l’orizzonte utopico cui tendere, consolidati nell’immaginario tradizionale, si caricano, tra cronaca e storia, tra presente e passato, di implicazioni diverse legate alla complessità della condizione migrante. Il topos epico del “suolo” da rifondare si trasforma ora nell’approdo che accoglie i superstiti di traversate disumane, provenienti da paesi martoriati da conflitti e miseria – come accade all’a…
Self-report measurement of segmentation, mimesis and perceived emotions in acousmatic electroacoustic music
2014
Acousmatic Electroacoustic Music is a form of art in which any sound is regarded to have the potential to be used as a basic unit to build a musical discourse. This study addresses the measurement of three important aspects of perception of Acousmatic Electroacoustic Music: Segmentation, which is the separation of the audio stream into units that could have meaning by themselves or that could be part of larger meaningful structures; Mimesis, which in this context is defined as the perceptual ability of identifying a possible and meaningful source that produced a sound and the action that produced it; Perception of Emotions, which shapes the meaning of perceived events. This document reports…
Awaking the motivation for change : relationships between physical fitness, physical activity and psychosocial factors among men in the Adventures of…
2017
This thesis examined how physical fitness is associated with self-reported physical activity (PA), eating habits and psychosocial factors among Finnish men who engaged in the Adventures of Joe Finn Campaign. The thesis comprises four original publications and supplementary results. The research framework utilizes the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) and principles of social marketing. HAPA guides the explanation of health behaviors at the individual level within the wider framework of social marketing, which links the individual-level effects with the campaign. Data were collected during the Adventures of Joe Finn Campaign tour in 2011 and by a post-campaign e-mail survey in 2014. Phys…
Warning signalling in European vipers and their mimics : implications for conservation of the smooth snake
2014
Antipredatory Function of Head Shape for Vipers and Their Mimics
2011
Most research into the adaptive significance of warning signals has focused on the colouration and patterns of prey animals. However, behaviour, odour and body shape can also have signal functions and thereby reduce predators' willingness to attack defended prey. European vipers all have a distinctive triangular head shape; and they are all venomous. Several non-venomous snakes, including the subfamily Natricinae, commonly flatten their heads (also known as head triangulation) when disturbed. The adaptive significance of this potential behavioural mimicry has never been investigated. We experimentally tested if the triangular head shape typical of vipers offers protection against predation.…

Epävakaa mimeettinen halu Robert Walserin romaanissa Konttoristi
2019
Artikkelissa tutkitaan sveitsiläisen kirjailijan Robert Walserin romaania Konttoristi René Girardin esittämän mimeettisen halun teorian, kaunasta virittyvän syntipukkimekanismin ja myös niistä erillisen mimetismin näkökulmista. Girardin teoriaan luodun katsauksen jälkeen eritellään konttoristina työskentelevän päähenkilön asemaa taloudellisen ja sosiaalisen kilpailun piirissä. Toisin kuin Girardin omissa analyyseissa, päähenkilö on pikemmin mimeettisen halun epävarma ja välillä vastahankainen tukija ja kosketuspinta kuin sen vallassa oleva toimija. Lisäksi käsitellään Walserin kertomatavan vaikutuksia sekä tarinan että kilpailevasta jäljittelystä poikkeavien imaginaaristen vastaavuuksien ta…
The giant panda is cryptic
2021
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is an iconic mammal, but the function of its black-and-white coloration is mysterious. Using photographs of giant pandas taken in the wild and state-of-the-art image analysis, we confirm the counterintuitive hypothesis that their coloration provides camouflage in their natural environment. The black fur blends into dark shades and tree trunks, whereas white fur matches foliage and snow when present, and intermediate pelage tones match rocks and ground. At longer viewing distances giant pandas show high edge disruption that breaks up their outline, and up close they rely more on background matching. The results are consistent across acuity-corrected c…
