Digital Activism in Russia: The Evolution and Forms of Online Participation in an Authoritarian State
2020
AbstractThis chapter describes how digitalization has affected activism in Russia by tracing the evolution, particularity, and the most visible forms of online activism in the context of the increasingly authoritarian Russian state. It discusses online activism in relation to “connective action” and illustrates it with two examples of contentious political activism: the anti-corruption campaign led by Alexei Navalny and the struggle to protect online communication from state surveillance by the Telegram messenger service. In addition, the chapter presents examples of Russian activism, which do not directly challenge the Kremlin.
Collaboration network for inspiring children and youth into science, mathematics and technology in Finland
2021
The importance of STEM education is widely recognized. Despite the value of the sector and good associated employment prospects, young students generally lack interest in science and engineering. This is reflected in the difficulty universities experience in recruiting qualified students for STEM subjects, which in turn is reflected in business life and is a factor slowing down countries’ economic development. In Finland, efforts have been made to solve this challenge by launching the LUMA Centre Finland network, which consists of 13 university-related centres promoting STEM issues throughout Finland. This paper describes the network and its objectives, with a special focus on the activitie…

Comparisons, Categories, and Labels: Investigating the North–South Dichotomy in Europe
2021
The paper presents genealogy-oriented analysis of how the Nordic model gained its dominant characterization as modern, advanced and superior to other European welfare models while Southern European countries came to be labelled laggards in the welfare domain. To illuminate the relational nature of these, and all, comparisons, the analysis accentuates how researchers, politicians, and civil servants alike designate Nordic and Southern European states, their societies, and their welfare models. The empirical analysis focuses on scholarly writings about welfare-state comparisons (1986–2017) and on European Union documents addressing cohesion policies (1986–2021). Analysis of the vocabulary and…

La viralité dans l’espace public numérique
2018
Depuis 2007 et la campagne électorale de Ségolène Royal, « Désir d’avenir », les communicants, les militants et les activistes utilisent la potentialité des dispositifs sociotechniques au service de leur candidat et de la propagation de leurs idées. Les réseaux sociaux ont profondément changé la stratégie de communication des équipes de campagne qui ont préempté l’espace numérique en multipliant leur présence social (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). Souvent composées de digital natives et d’individus maitrisant les codes et les rites en vigueur sur ces dispositifs, les équipes intègrent la force du canal de communication afin de renouveler la relation et la communication entre le politi…

El alojamiento colaborativo: Viviendas de uso turístico y plataformas virtuales
2016
La llamada economía colaborativa, fenómeno innovador de alcance global y transversal, supone la apuesta por una alternativa a las prácticas hasta ahora conocidas en nuestra sociedad de consumo. Esta idea de la economía colaborativa ha tenido una gran repercusión más allá de su incidencia en los mercados de servicios y bienes, afectando de forma directa al sector del alojamiento turístico. De hecho, se han generalizado de forma extraordinaria diferentes alternativas al alojamiento vacacional más tradicional, mediante plataformas virtuales que ofrecen viviendas privadas para su uso turístico a precios competitivos y prometen experiencias más cercanas a la convivencia vecinal que turística.
