Balancing Between Narratives of the West and Hindu Nationalism in Emerging India
2019
India has been an important point of reference for Western identity, and the construction of an Orient. Vice versa, people in India have constructed their own Occidentalisms about Westerners, and the global position of ‘the West’, as well as to form an Indian identity. The West has represented the colonizer in India, but at the same time a source of valuable ideologies, values, policies, and innovations benefiting India. Moreover, many nationalist narratives in India emphasize self-reliance from and even superiority to the West. During Narendra Modi’s administration, the ‘New India’ has concentrated on taking a more active role in the world. Traditional elements of Indian tradition have bee…
The Value of the Surface : Reappreciating Embodiment, Labor, and Necessity in Arendt's Political Thought
2021
Through an unorthodox reading of Hannah Arendt, this article argues that her political thought contains unacknowledged resources for conceptualizing embodiment in politics, and in relation to the economy, physical needs, and appearance. In contrast to the way she is typically read, this essay develops an affirmative account of embodiment in Arendt's work. Arendt not only recognizes the role of the appearing body in action but also underscores the importance of labor and necessity for a human sense of reality. Throughout her oeuvre, she presents a historical analysis of the rise of a functionalist, processual understanding of life under capitalist modernity. She also develops an alternative,…
From state-owned smokestacks to post-industrial dreams : The Finnish government in business, 1970–2010
2020
While state-owned enterprises (SOEs) used to be considered obsolete tools for governmental intervention in the economy, in recent years governmental intervention in the business sector has re-emerged as a topic of debate. However, scholarship on the changes in and the modernisation of the SOE model is limited. In this article, we examine how the Finnish state’s ownership policy adapted to the requirements of economic globalisation between the 1970s and the 2010s. We show that the attitude towards globalisation was pragmatic and aimed at safeguarding the competitiveness of domestic companies. The state-owned company system was gradually adapted to meet new needs, losing most of its original …
"The rules of the game": how to favor entrepreneurship and creativity in a non-capitalistic economy
2016
The economy, nowadays, is leading us toward a huge crisis. An environmental crisis, a new financial crisis and finally a war crisis. The aim of this paper is to propose a way to change our economy to favor a better perspective of the future. In order to promote this new economy, two suggestions are proposed: promote entrepreneurship and promote creativity within an economy that would aim at getting full employment and at avoiding any unethical action towards the environment. Several propositions are made about education, culture and economy to obtain sustainable changes in the economic landscape and in order to promote entrepreneurship in this fictive economy.
A risk to privacy or a need for security? : Digital domestic technologies in the lives of young adults and late middle-agers
2018
This chapter discusses the ways young adults and late middle-agers define their relationship with digital technologies in the contexts of housing and living. By analysing data from eight (8) focus group discussions, this chapter identifies socially shared ideals regarding consumption of digital technologies typical of young adults and late middle-agers as well as ideals that connect people over generational and life course boundaries. Young adults interpret digital technologies through concepts of time management, self-control and privacy. For late middle agers, technologies are conceptualised with meanings related to personal skills, social relationships and security. All participants nego…
Development Speeded up by Necessity : The Future of Higher Education and Academic Work Online
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic had a dramatic impact on our lives and living. In higher education, it led to a swift shift from on-campus to online education resulting in practices of emergency remote teaching through virtual classrooms. In this project, we seek to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that this abrupt, enforced change to online education entailed for faculty and students in Sweden and Finland. We aim to examine the evolution of online work and study practices, their impact on the teaching and learning environment, and new expectations imposed on the faculty and students. Our goal is to enhance the theoretical understanding of e-learning, developing guideli…
Kohti avointa tiedettä : tieteellisten dokumenttien jakelutavan muutoksen vaikutus kirjastoihin
2016
Tutkimustulosten ja tutkimusjulkaisujen jakelu on käynyt läpi useita merkittä- viä muutoksia historiansa aikana. Kunakin historiallisena aikakautena vallitsevat kirjoittamisen, painamisen ja dokumenttien jakelun tekniikat ovat määritelleet dokumenttien jakelua sekä institutionaalisia tapoja toteuttaa tätä. Käsinkirjoitetun ajan dokumentit ovat uniikkeja ja yksittäisinä teoskappaleina mittaamattoman arvokkaita. Tämä toimintaympäristö synnytti arkisto- ja kirjastolaitoksen sekä niiden toimintatavat. Näiden organisaatioiden perustehtävänä oli uniikkien aineistojen säilyttäminen ja jopa niiden käytön rajoittaminen. Käsin kopiointi oli ainoa mahdollisuus tuottaa duplikaatteja tällaisista aineist…

Arviointiosaamisen kehittäminen digitaalisessa oppimisympäristössä
2021
Digitalisoituvat oppimisympäristöt ja oppimisen tukeminen teknologiavälitteisesti ohjaavat kiinnittämään huomiota myös arviointikäytänteiden kehittämiseen. Oppimisympäristön muuttuminen haastaakin tarkastelemaan kriittisesti, miten summatiivinen ja formatiivinen arviointi tukevat oppimista ja tarjoavat palautetta oppimisprosessin eri vaiheissa. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan Peda.netin digitaalisen arviointityökalun kehittämistyötä osana Opettajien arviointiosaaminen oppimisen, osallisuuden ja tuen toteutumisen edistäjänä (OPA) -hanketta. Kehittämistyön tavoitteena on tukea sekä kouluttajien että opiskelijoiden formatiivisen arviointiosaamisen kehittymistä erityisesti opettajankoulutukses…
