Regional sustainability transition through forest-based bioeconomy? Development actors' perspectives on related policies, power, and justice
2022
Forests and forest-based bioeconomy have central roles in the contemporary sustainability transition. However, the transition towards a bioeconomy is loaded with tensions regarding economic growth, ecological integrity, and social justice. These tensions reproduce varying transition discourses. Political actors at the level of the European Union (EU) and nation states take part in the processes creating the discourses and aim to govern the forest bioeconomy-based transition in certain directions viewed as favourable. The transition tensions are strongly felt in regions that are rich with forest resources but poor in terms of economic and political power, called ‘forest peripheries’. In this…
Work–Family Practices and Complexity of Their Usage: A Discourse Analysis Towards Socially Responsible Human Resource Management
2020
AbstractThe question of work–family practices commonly arises in both theory and daily practice as a matter of responsibility in today’s organisations. More information is needed about them for socially responsible human resource management (SR-HRM). In this article our interest is in how work–family practices, serve as an important element of SR-HRM, constructed as (un)helpful for employees’ work–family integration, are realised in organisational life. We investigate the discursive ways in which members of two different organisations working at different organisational levels construct the issue in the Finnish context. Three discourses were interpreted: (1) a discourse of compliance with e…
Taistelu turvallisuuden tulkinnasta : turvallisuuspolitiikan diskursiivisuus ja turvallistaminen Suomen eduskunnassa 1995 ja 2004
2007
Tutkielma tarkastelee Suomen turvallisuuspoliittisen keskustelun turvallisuusdiskursseja ja erilaisten tulkintarepertuaarien käyttöä turvallisuuskysymysten tulkinnassa. Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää, millä tavalla turvallisuuspolitiikan alueellistuminen ja globalisoituminen ilmenee turvallisuuspoliittisessa keskustelussa ja erityisesti tarkastella kylmän sodan aikana muodostuneen valtion sotilaallisen turvallisuuden korostamisen suhdetta näihin kehityskulkuihin. Tutkielmassa turvallisuuspoliittista keskustelua lähestytään turvallisuuden luonteesta poliittisena käsitteenä ja keskustelu jäsennetään erilaisten valtiojärjestelmän kansainvälisten suhteiden teorioiden kautta valtioiden välis…

Linguistic Repertoires and Semiotic Resources in Interaction: A Finnish Manager as a Mediator in a Multilingual Meeting
2010
This article examines professional communication in a multilingual meeting in a small company in Finland within ethnographic, sociolinguistic, and discourse analytic frameworks. English is used as a lingua franca by a group of Finnish and Chinese business professionals. The aim is to study how language is used with other semiotic resources to construct meaning in interaction. In particular, with the focus on an individual participant who was the mediator in the meeting, the goal is to analyze participants’ role alignment and interpersonal relationships. The results show that business professionals’ roles are renegotiable in a meeting and by means of language accompanied by embodied actions …
Intensiivistä kielenopetusta vaihto-opiskelijoille
2013
Vaihto-opiskelijat tulevat Suomeen opiskelemaan usein sen takia että suomalaiset osaavat niin hyvin englantia. Suomalaisiin tutustuminen koetaan kuitenkin erittäin haastavaksi. Yhteyksien puuttuminen vaihto-opiskelijoiden ja suomalaisten välillä onkin yksi suurimmista epäkohdista Suomessa opiskelemisessa. Miten englanninkielisen opintotarjonnan perässä tulevat vaihto-opiskelijat saataisiin lähemmäksi suomalaista kulttuuria ja yhteiskuntaa? Yksi ratkaisu löytyy kielikursseista. Euroopan unionin Erasmus-ohjelman puitteissa onkin tarjottu Suomeen saapuville vaihto-opiskelijoille kielikursseja jo vuodesta 1996, ja näistä on saatu erinomaisia kokemuksia. nonPeerReviewed
Politics of Mobility and Stability in Authorizing European Heritage : Estonia’s Great Guild Hall
2019
AbstractKaasik-Krogerus scrutinizes the European Heritage Label (EHL) as an authorized heritage discourse (AHD) in the making. She analyses how the discourse is formed in a politics of mobility and stability between the local, national, and European scales resulting from the interplay of europeanization (of the national and local) and domestication (of the European). The chapter asks how this politics of mobility and stability is conducted to manage the scalar dissonance in one of the sites, the Great Guild Hall in Tallinn, Estonia. Kaasik-Krogerus argues that the politics conducted in the exhibitions works in two controversial ways: legitimizing mobility and stability as natural and simult…

The Inclusion and Exclusion of Europe as a Discursive Strategy in Populist Political Rhetoric
2014
In recent decades global cultural flows and the movement of people within and across the borders of the EU have diversified Europe by increasing the inner pluralism of European societies. At the same time European societies have faced the rise of diverse nationalist and populist movements and political parties. These movements and parties have criticized the increasing diversity in Europe, finding faults especially in the EU integration process, current immigration policies, and the consequent development of multi- and intercultural societies. In current populist discourse, ‘borderlessness’ and the transformation of the current cultural, symbolic, and societal borders are often objected or …
