Musuļmaņu imigrācijas opozīcijas dekonstrukcija Ziemeļu un Baltijas reģionā: Norvēģijas un Latvijas gadījums
2017
Musulmaņu imigrācijas jautājums ir bijis vienmēr strīdīgs Eiropā, bet notiekošā bēgļu krīzes to vēl vairāk ir saasinājusi. Maģistra darbā uzmanība ir pievērsta Ziemeļbaltijas reģionam, lai: 1)noskaidrotu, kā pēckara ekonomika un politika (kā piemēram, viesstrādnieku programmas, bēgļu politika un piespiedu iedzīvotāju pārvietošana) ir izveidojusi mūsdienu musulmaņu kopienu Norvēģijā un Latvijā; 2)analizētu publisko diskursu par musulmaņu imigrāciju Norvēģijā un Latvijā kopš 2015. gada. Leona Taivāna Latvijā un Andera Breivika (Anders Behring Breivik) Norvēģijā ideoloģiskais diskurss ir raksturots, analizēts un interpretēts. Pētījumā ir sniegta arī sešu plašsaziņas rakstu – “personisko bēgļu …
Painting the Unites States' Civil war: Or Creating a Brotherly War
2015
This article seeks to illustrate Benedict Anderson’s theory of the “Reassurance of Fratricide” and “the act of remembering/forgetting” through depictions of the Civil War in US fine arts. This is mostly done through the Smithsonian art data base and the paintings referenced under the label Civil War, spanning from the 1860s to the 1890s. This paper first analyzes how these paintings were used to depict the Confederate soldier’s otherness as typically American and thus helped with the post-war reintegration of the Confederacy. This study then examines how in certain paintings the war was brought inside the realm of domesticity and family, which reinforced the idea of a fratricide and a famil…
2020
In this article, we examine the discursive practices of (de)stigmatizing right-wing populist party leaders. We draw on a recent example from Finland by examining how the female presidential candidate of a right-wing populist party was portrayed in the Finnish media during the 2018 presidential campaign season. We examine the stigmatization by the press media and the stigma-management tactics used by the presidential candidate to resist stigmatization. The media representation of the right-wing party leader is highly tensioned, and the media positions her political leadership within the duality of charisma and stigma. In our analysis, we extend earlier literature by unveiling the emotional t…
The “Circolo Matematico di Palermo” and the first world war: the crisis of scientific internationalism
Dimensiones y espacios electorales en las elecciones autonómicas vascas de 2012 y 2016
2018
En este artículo se analiza la incidencia de los principales cleavages –ideológico e identitario- presentes en la competición electoral vasca para las elecciones de 2012 y 2016, e intenta constituirse como una vía intermedia entre aquellos desarrollos teóricos que señalan la preeminencia de alguna de estas dimensiones de forma generalizada para todas las formaciones. Para ello abordamos los comicios a través de la teoría espacial del voto, mediante la utilización de modelos de regresión logística binaria. Esto nos ha permitido conocer el desigual peso otorgado por cada uno de los electorados de las diferentes formaciones políticos a estas fracturas centrales. Asimismo, para las elecciones d…

2019

The author explores the centrality of the Basque Nationalist Party from the very beginning and its rejection by republican Spanish elites…
Introduction: Conceptualizing Language Policy, Higher Education and New Nationalism
2020
This chapter outlines higher education language policies as historically and politically layered and contingent. I will first discuss the way in which I understand language both as a proxy for policies and ideologies and as a means for construing those policies and ideologies. My focus is on the layered and intertwined nature of history, politics, language and nation. The subchapter closes with a methodological discussion of “looking beyond” language—i.e. the ways in which we can take our focus from language to the underlying societal structures. I will then present the higher education context and the role of language in higher education. From there, a discussion of the main concepts relat…
Negotiating a transnational career around borders: Women's stories in boundaryless academia
2021
The study aimed to give voice to two women sport scientists' life stories to centralize the challenges and ways of coping their career journeys entailed, and enlighten our understanding of the lived experience and meaning of academic migrating. They shared transnational career stories through interviews and ongoing conversations which we re-story in a creative non-fiction story where we blended the two. Our data collection, analysis and representation were informed by theoretical, methodological and interpretive bricolage. As the creative non-fiction story shows, the academic entrepreneur ideal was somewhat disrupted in the women's lives, as migration experiences, aside from thrills, also i…
National level paths to the mining industry’s Social Licence to Operate (SLO) in Northern Europe: The case of Finland
2020
Abstract Research on the social licence to operate (SLO) has traditionally focused on local communities directly affected by mining operations. There has been a lack of systematic research exploring attitudes to mining among the public at large. Based on a national survey (N = 1091) of Finns’ attitudes towards mining conducted in 2016, we test a theoretical model using path analysis to examine the factors affecting the social licence to operate (SLO) of mining in Finland. The aim is to shed light on the factors affecting SLO at national level in Finland and to add to the growing body of research seeking to understand the mining industry’s SLO at national level in diverse social, economic an…
