'The Ideological Framework of the French Nouvelle Droite and the Contemporary Finnish Far Right'
2015
This article deals with the xenophobic discourse of contemporary Finnish anti-immigrationists, namely the anti-immigration faction of the Perussuomalaiset party and its 'metapolitical' background organisation - Suomen Sisu. It focuses on two main themes - differentialism and anti-egalitarianism - as they have been conceptualised by the French Nouvelle Droite (ND) and the European New Right. Because these themes have been used to serve a variety of anti-immigration movements and parties within Europe, the article examines whether the selective reception of differentialism and anti-egalitarianism have a part to play in the xenophobic discourse within Finnish politics as well. The Finnish anti…

Generazione di ibridi, generazione di donne. Costruzioni dell’umano in Aristotele e Galeno (e Palefato)
2005
Denying or rationalizing the mythical monstrous hybrids in Aristotle, Palaephatus and Galen is also making use of the animal as a keystone for the construction of human. In such sense, through the reflection on centaurs and monsters, the three authors build the sphere of human as tendentially separated from animal’s. This sphere also tends to include the woman seen as a “dimensional door to theriomorfic alterity”, then as a threat to identity.

Sexual and gender repression within the confession: confessors' manuals of the Modern Age (XVI-XVII centuries)
2018
La confesión de los pecados en ámbito católico, especialmente a raíz del Concilio de Trento, constituyó un medio eficaz para disciplinar las conductas individuales y sociales de los fieles. El objetivo primordial que me planteé con este trabajo es el análisis de los discursos eclesiásticos en torno a las mujeres y a las temáticas sexuales a través de la lectura de una tipología de fuentes directamente relacionada con el sacramento de la penitencia: los manuales de confesores. Mí hipótesis es que estas obras de literatura confesional, por su valor didáctico de adoctrinamiento de los sacerdotes, constituyeron un instrumento para endurecer la condición de subordinación de las mujeres a lo larg…
Merit, Competition, Distinction
2018
The article presents a critique of competition by introducing a concept called 'distinction'. Competition is thought to work as a guarantee of the fairness of meritocratic procedures (merit-based recruiting in the job market or e.g. entrance examinations). However, fairness created by competition is, even at its best, only relative. This critique is then used a part of a larger critique of the role of merit in society.
Farewell to Anarchy : The Myth of International Anarchy and Birth of Anarcophilia in International Relations
2018
This article scrutinizes the conceptual history of international anarchy. The argument purported here is that even though the idea of international anarchy is often seen as very central for the academic discipline of international relations, the concept is in fact not found from the forerunners or classics of the discipline. The assumption of international anarchy is commonly seen as a defining feature of a Realist school of international relations. Yet, the concept and especially its “Realist” implications are not to be found in the classics of Realism, from Thucydides, Machiavelli or Hobbes. The idea of “international anarchy” emerges quite tentatively during the First World War, in the w…
