Way better than the original!! Music video covers and language revitalisation : A sociosemiotic view
2016
The development of the social media has opened up new spaces and genres for minoritised languages. As argued in previous research, access to new media spaces can contribute to the revitalisation of minoritised languages by generating new functions and values for them. Combining sociolinguistic and sociosemiotic approaches and bringing together data from four minority language contexts, Irish, Welsh, Sámi, and Corsican, this study addresses the potential of music video covers on YouTube to contribute to language revitalisation. The investigation suggests that music video covers in minority languages can have significance in language revitalisation in both language ideological and practical t…
Understanding the impact of digital on performing arts: a systematic literature review proposal
2023
Digital technologies have profoundly changed the cultural and creative industries. Due to the intrinsic characteristics of the performing arts sector, this digital transition has had a later impact on it. However, it has accelerated since the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing organizations to digitally transform themselves to keep in touch with their audience(s). Now that this crisis is over, many strategic and operational questions still remain unanswered. This research proposes a systematic literature review in order to establish the state of the art of the research on digitalization of the performing arts sector and to highlight the main research avenues to be explored.
Hur lär sig gymnasister svenska med hjälp av smarta apparater vid ett gymnasium i mellersta Finland
2016
Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää älylaitteiden eli älypuhelimen, tabletin ja kannettavan tietokoneen käyttöä lukiolaisten ruotsin kielen oppimisessa, erityisesti sanaston oppimisessa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli kartoittaa millaisissa tilanteissa älylaitteita hyödynnetään ruotsin kielen opiskelussa lukiossa. Lisäksi haluttiin selvittää käyttävätkö lukiolaiset yhä kirjamuotoisia sanakirjoja ja miten lukiolaiset etsivät tietoa tai ottavat selvää sanojen merkityksistä. Tutkimukseen osallistui 26 lukion ensimmäisen vuosikurssin opiskelijaa. Tutkimus toteutettiin kevättalvella 2016 kyselylomakkeen avulla. Kyselylomake koostui sekä monivalintaväittämistä että avoimista kysymyksistä. Tutkimu…
From vernacular accounting to standardized PMS : Logic multiplicity in a cooperative bank
2023
In this chapter we analyze how local member banks shifted from local, vernacular, accounting, and performance measurement systems to centralized and standardized performance measurement systems in a cooperative bank organization. The member banks reduced the use of vernacular accounting systems (VAS) to achieve greater cost-efficiency and to meet regulation requirements, but they still maintained their strong local logics beside the cooperative unity logic, with only minimal or moderate conflict. We suggest that the power of individual actors, i.e., CEOs, affected the balance of these logics, and the way performance measurement (PM) targets were chosen at the local level from the standardiz…
Startup-sijoittajat portinvartijoina journalismin kentällä
2023
Startup-yritysten roolista journalismin uudistajina on ristiriitaisia näkemyksiä, mutta niiden katsotaan kuitenkin yleisesti tuovan alalle uusia toimintamalleja ja haastavan vakiintuneita instituutioita. Sijoittajien merkitys journalistisen startup-yrittämisen kentällä on jäänyt vähälle huomiolle, vaikka he viime kädessä päättävät, millaiset yritykset saavat mahdollisuuden käynnistää tai kehittää toimintaansa. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastelemme startup-sijoittajia SCOT-teorian kehyksessä journalismin portinvartijoina ja journalistiseen metadiskurssiin osallistuvina keskustelijoina, joilla on alan kehittämiseen liittyvää valtaa ja vastuuta. Tavoitteenamme on tarkentaa kuvaa siitä, millaiset a…
Making Sense or Betting on the Future? : Identifying Antenarratives of AI projects in a Large Financial Organization
2019
The future is uncertain, but what is certain is that we can make sense of the future through our ‘antenarratives’. In this study, I shed light on prospective sensemaking and apply the concept of antenarrative as a framework to identify how strategy practitioners make sense of AI projects. The empirical case organization is a large Finnish financial organization that aims to be a digital leader. The case organization is currently developing and implementing AI in its business operations, a recent and emerging wave in the financial business sector. Following a thematic analysis, the narratives that seem to either reflect positive (that promote) or negative (that impede) changes were examined.…
Impacto de las plataformas digitales en el profesorado de Educación Infantil y Primaria: precarización del trabajo docente
2022
En la sociedad actual, regida por el capitalismo de plataformas, estas están presentes en todas las esferas sociales, incluida la escuela. Ante este escenario, la presente investigación parte de la premisa de que, en la actualidad, las plataformas digitales están provocando un impacto sustantivo y holístico sobre el trabajo docente. Y que estas transformaciones están desencadenando intensos procesos de precarización de las condiciones en las que el profesorado desarrolla su trabajo, así como del propio trabajo y de la subjetividad docentes en sí mismos. Esta premisa emana de los fenómenos que rigen la esfera social en general y el mundo del trabajo en particular, los cuales esbozan una geog…
International executives : transformative bureaucracies or Westphalian orders?
2004
Public Administration is in an era of change. This paper studies one under-researched part of public administration, the executive arms of International Governmental Organizations (IGOs). These are referred to as International Executives (IEs) and provide a conceptual mapping and empirical illustrations of three important dynamics of IEs – intergovernmental, supranational and transgovernmental dynamics. The paper offers a middle-range organization theory perspective that suggests five independent variables that affect the behavior and roles of IE civil servants. The variables are (i) the organizational properties of IEs, (ii) the degrees of institutionalization of IEs, (iii) the recruitment…
Re-discovering international executive institutions
2004
Public Administration is in an era of change. This article aims at re-discovering one underresearched part of public administration, the executive arms of International Governmental Organizations (IGOs). These are referred to as International Executives (IEs). The article provides a conceptual mapping and an empirical illustration of three important dynamics of IEs – intergovernmental, supranational and transgovernmental dynamics. The study also offers a middle-range organization theory perspective that suggests five independent variables that foster the advent of supranational and transgovernmental behavior and roles among IE civil servants. The variables suggested are (H1) the organizatio…
Les théories de la gouvernance : de la gouvernance des entreprises à la gouvernance des systèmes nationaux
2006
(VF)L'objectif de cet article est de faire une synthèse des théories de la gouvernance. Dans la première partie sont présentées les théories micro de la gouvernance en opposant les théories cognitives aux théories diciplinaires. La seconde partie est dévolue aux théories macro de la gouvernance sur la base de la distinction entre les théories fondées sur l'appropriation de la rente organisationnelle et celles accordant un rôle dominant à la production. Cette synthèse met en évidence que la vision financière de la gouvernance n'est qu'un cas très particulier qui présente de nombreuses limites;(VA)The objective of this article is to make a survey of the different corporate governance theories…
