Enterprising refugee women: Analyzing postfeminist governmentality in an organizational context
2023
This study examines a model project initiated by a German Federal Ministry in the middle of the vast increase in forced migration to Germany after 2015. The project aimed at facilitating the integration of female refugees into German society by way of ‘empowering’ them to become self-employed. A business counseling agency with a feminist orientation was commissioned to design and run the project. Interpellating refugee women as subjects of entrepreneurial self-actualization to enact gender equality, the project embodies a tangible example of postfeminist governmentality. Combining recent research on postfeminism with analytics of governmentality, the study directs its analytical gaze to the…
La vita sospesa nella zona grigia, la perdurante temporaneità dei campi profughi e la sopravvivenza culturale del popolo saharawi
2021
Because of containment policies, migrants between departure and destination encounter barriers and gray zones. They remain trapped in these places, where the asymmetry of power is exercised by force. Such places are tolerated as they are functional to the capitalist system. Planned refugee camps are part of this system; they are conceived as temporary devices to save human lives but are organized externally and self-organization is prevented. Can our discipline re-appropriate these issues often delegated to political and functionalist choices and provide effective answers? In the global landscape of migration, the experience of the Sahrawi can be a model of self-management and participation.
Children in the visual coverage of the European refugee crisis: A case study of the World Press Photo 2016
2018
Shifts in the visual coverage of refugees arriving in Europe and prominent compassion fatigue emphasize the need to examine visual strategies utilized to report on the crisis. This study focuses on representations of refugee children using a case of the World Press Photo (WPP) 2016. The material was interpreted with a model for visual rhetorical interpretation of journalistic photographs. Findings indicate the main visual elements involved in representing refugee children: visual trope of the migrant father, relation between children and barriers, visual oxymoron (juxtaposition of contradictory elements) and atmosphere in photographs. Findings suggest that photographs address polemics speci…
Polacy na Krymie w latach dwudziestych i trzydziestych XX wieku
2015
Obecnie Krym zamieszkuje około stu dwudziestu pięciu narodów, wśród których Polacy stanowią dość niewielką grupę. Część współczesnych krymskich Polaków to potomkowie polskich uchodźców, którzy przybyli na półwysep w pierwszej połowie XX wieku. Artykuł prezentuje analizę znajdujących się w krymskich archiwach informacji dotyczących tej tematyki. Omawia historię działalności społeczno-kulturalnej polskiej społeczności w tym okresie. Opublikowane materiały mogą nie tylko zainteresować badaczy, lecz także być pomocne w odnawianiu zerwanych więzi rodzinnych, a również w rozwiązywaniu problemów napływających do Polski uchodźców, których liczba stale rośnie.
A faceless threat or vulnerable individuals? : the representations of refugees in British newspapers during the European refugee crisis
2017
Pakolaisuus on hyvin ajankohtainen ja vakava ilmiö, joka tuo mukanaan moraalisia velvollisuuksia, taloudellisia haasteita sekä kysymyksiä tasa-arvon ja ihmisoikeuksien toteutumisesta. Vuonna 2015 alkaneen Euroopan pakolaiskriisin vuoksi pakolaiset ovat olleet jatkuvasti uutisotsikoissa. Maahanmuuton räjähdysmäinen kasvu on saanut aikaan voimakkaita reaktioita aiheuttaen sekä solidaarisuutta että ennakkoluulojen siivittämää vastustusta. Median rooli ilmiössä on valtava, sillä se ilmaisee, muokkaa ja vahvistaa ihmisten asenteita ja mielikuvia. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää miten pakolaisia representoidaan brittiläisissä sanomalehdissä, pyrkien paljastamaan mahdollista negatiivi…

European Security Under Threat: Mediating the Crisis and Constructing the Other
2017
Departing from the assumption that discourse is both socially constituted and constitutive, and that social reality is co-constructed by the institutions of mass communication, this chapter takes under scrutiny media representation of the recent refugee crisis in Europe. The objective behind it is to maximise the validity of the Media Proximization Approach (MPA), drawing on the insights from Critical Discourse Studies, cognitive linguistics and corpus linguistics, in explicating how the media can potentially impact on the salience of issues and thus on public perception of problems and threats along with measures to be taken to deal with them. Examining the data from Poland, a European Uni…
Perceived threat and prejudice towards immigrants in Finland : A study among early, middle, and late Finnish adolescents
2017
Using integrated threat theory, this study examined how perceived threat, or fear of immigrants, manifests among early, middle, and late Finnish adolescents, and the relationship between perceived threat and prejudice among early, middle, and late adolescents. The sample consisted of 795 Finnish adolescents between 11 and 19 years of age. Realistic and symbolic threats were the most perceived threats and were more prevalent among late adolescents. There was a positive relationship between prejudice and realistic threat, and between prejudice and symbolic threat, but a negative relationship between prejudice and negative stereotyping, and this relationship remained relatively stable from ear…
