“Mise en Cadre” of the Social Drama in Joe Wright's Pride & Prejudice (2005)
2006
Cet article s'intéresse aux effets très originaux de « mise en cadre » dans cette récente adaptation du roman de Jane Austen, notamment l'emploi de la caméra mobile (Steadycam et caméra à l'épaule), du hors-champ et de l'espace. Cet élément de l'écriture filmique est utilisé pour articuler la thématique de la classe sociale avec l'identité générique et l'origine littéraire du film. Ainsi, la caméra mobile contribue à la théâtralité du film tout en marquant les limites du champ visuel de la caméra qui permet, par contre, d'apercevoir en arrière-plan les serviteurs, le plus souvent hors-texte dans le roman. La gestion de l'espace, elle, permet à la fois d'opposer et de mêler les différentes c…
The good, the bad and the advantageous : Migrants’ attitudes towards other migrants
2023
There is a growing number of various ethnic groups in Finland. The attitudes and categorizations that host country nationals have and make regarding migrants is frequently researched. The attitudes that migrants have towards other migrants has, however, been much less researched. This paper provides an in-depth analysis that considers what factors are behind the attitudes that migrants form of other migrants and how these impact categorizations and hierarchies. The empirical research material of this study is based on 77 qualitative interviews with migrants living in Finland, carried out in 2018–2019. In the analysis, various theories of minority relations are applied. The research finds th…
Conclusions and Suggestions for Improving European Education Policies
2020
In the concluding chapter, we draw together the main arguments and results of the research, highlighting the differences and similarities between the education policy documents produced by the European Union and the Council of Europe. We also provide suggestions for improving future education policies to better encompass the concerns about the lack of dialogue in a diversified but also polarized Europe. Education policy documents dealing with intercultural dialogue act as important guidelines for tackling racism, chauvinism, xenophobia, homophobia, and other forms of prejudice in Europe. As policies function as ‘actants’ that create webs of meanings and action, it is crucial that policy doc…
Images of the other in Finnish primary school geography books
2016
Jatkuvasti kansainvälistyvässä maailmassa, jossa kulttuurienvälisillä kohtaamisilla voi olla kauaskantoisiakin seurauksia, on tärkeää olla tietoinen taustalla vaikuttavista asenteista. Tässä tutkielmassa kartoitetaan kuvaa, joka suomalaisissa viidennen ja kuudennen luokan maantiedon oppikirjoissa annetaan ihmisistä Euroopan ulkopuolella. Tutkielma on tehty sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Selkeiden stereotyyppisten kuvien lisäksi pyritään löytämään myös piileviä, vähemmän selviä stereotypioita. Stereotypioiden lisäksi myös alueista, kansoista tai muista ihmisryhmistä annetut kokonaiskuvat ovat tutkimuksen kohteena. Analysoitujen oppikirjojen välillä oli merkittäviäkin eroja sekä sisällössä, että …
Social Desirability Bias among Prejudice Instruments : An Integrated Threat
2019
A considerable amount of research has examined the extent to which members of dominant cultures perceive minority groups as threatening their way of life. While various instruments measure these perceptions of threat, few researchers have empirically analysed the statistical properties of these scales. Specifically, studies have not adequately explored social desirability of threat scales. The current study investigates the extent to which one set of threat scales is internally consistent or reliable (González et al., 2008), and explores social desirability within the González et al. (2008) integrated threat instruments by comparing self-reports to other reports (intimate other and friend r…
Threats and attitudes toward Russian-speaking immigrants: a comparative study between younger and older Finns
2014
Using integrated threat theory as a theoretical lens to detect negative attitudes toward minority groups, this study compares and contrasts the perceptions and attitudes of older and younger Finns toward Russian-speaking minorities in Finland. A sample of high school students between 16 and 20 years of age represented the younger generation, while individuals over 65 years of age represented the older generation. The total sample was 242. Results indicated that there is a positive correlation between threat perception and prejudice. Results revealed that both groups have prejudices against Russian speakers and that these prejudices are related to the perception of realistic threat and negat…
Bridges between people: nonverbal mediation in an intercultural perspective and training proposals
2019
Starting from the meaning of terms prejudices and mediation, the paper will deal with the theme of “intercultural mediation”, discussing aspects that characterize it, focusing on the non-verbal and creative elements. It will than reflect upon the necessary professional skills and on possible trainings through the body-artistic language (focusing on dance-movement therapy methodology), drawing inspiration from training experiences with professionals who face emergency situations within very complex social contexts. Italy receives 89% of the unaccompanied foreign minors arriving in Europe. However, Italy does not have adequate laws in place to initiate life projects and social inclusion which…
