2016
Artikkeliväitöskirja. Sisältää yhteenveto-osan ja neljä artikkelia. Article dissertation. Contains an introduction part and four articles. The dominant understanding of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is that of diagnosed children “suffering” from neurodevelopmental condition owing to which they are prone to develop adverse life trajectories. This master narrative of ADHD and psychomedical and normative discourses it adheres to and employs have been integrated into the daily activities of homes and schools. This compilation dissertation study employs a social constructionist discourse framework and is located in the intersection of the disciplines of disability studies and s…
Baltijas diasporas stāstījumu diskursa analīze
2022
Esošo pētījumu pārskats liecina, ka Baltijas diasporas stāstījumi līdz šim nav pietiekoši izpētīti, tādēļ pētījuma mērķis bija novērtēt Baltijas diasporas pārstāvju pieredzi. Pētījuma korpusa 15 intervijās pielietota Gee (2011) diskursa analīzes metodoloģija. Pētījuma iespējamība tika nodrošināta, uzdodot pētījuma jautājumus, kas saistīti ar aptaujāto apmierinātības līmeņa noteikšanu, galvenajiem izaicinājumiem, ar ko respondenti saskaras, kopējo stāstījumu noskaņu, kā arī patriotisma izpausmes veidiem. Rezultāti atklāj, ka kopējā pieredze ir bijusi apmierinoša, galvenie izaicinājumi bijuši saistīti ar iesaistes trūkumu un finansiālām grūtībām, kopējā stāstījumu noskaņa bijusi pozitīva, un …
"A 304-year experiment which worked some but not all of the time" : Britain and British identities in three English, Scottish and Welsh newspapers in…
2014
Britannia ja sen eri maat ovat unionin pitkän historian kuluessa kohdanneet lukuisia muutoksia ja haasteita. Viimeaikaisimmat näistä haasteista ovat liittyneet esimerkiksi siihen miten unionia ja sen maita hallitaan: vuonna 1997 unionin valtaa hajautettiin sisäisille paikallishallinnoille, jonka jälkeen muun muassa Wales on saavuttanut laajemmat oikeudet omien lakien säätämiseen ja Skotlanti on syksyllä 2014 äänestämässä mahdollisesta itsenäisyydestä. Tällaiset kehitykset herättävät kysymyksiä siitä, miten unioni nykyään toimii, kuinka vahvasti sen eri maat ovat sidoksissa toisiinsa, ja miltä sen tulevaisuus näyttää. Tämän tutkielman tarkoitus on tarkastella sitä, miten Britanniaa ja britti…
Rap-imago rap-artisti Cheekin lyriikoissa
2014
Rap-musiikki on noussut muutaman viimeksi kuluneen vuoden aikana hyvin suosituksi Suomessa. Yksi suosituimmista ja tunnetuimmista rap-artisteista on artistinimeä Cheek käyttävä Jare Tiihonen. Cheek on julkaissut musiikkia yli kymmenen vuoden ajan ja hänen tuotantonsa on pääosin suomenkielistä. Cheekin tekstejä on jonkin verran tarkasteltu kielitieteellisissä tutkimuksissa, muttei imagonrakentamisen näkökulmasta. Yleisesti ottaen suomirapia on tutkittu toistaiseksi vähän. Tutkimuksessani tarkastelin Cheekin lyriikoissaan rakentamaa imagoa. Tutkimuskysymysteni pohjalta selvitin, minkälaisin kielellisin keinoin Cheek rakentaa imagoaan, minkälainen tämä rakentuva imago on ja kuinka kielen keino…
Exploring the discursive construction of subgroups in global virtual teams
2021
The global teams literature has increasingly documented challenges due to demographic faultlines. While this literature tends to assume that faultlines are fixed and produce negative outcomes for teams, organizational communication scholars have long regarded team processes as dynamic and fluid. Drawing on a CCO perspective, we offer a re-conceptualization of subgroups as dynamic and discursively constructed. This study draws on an in-depth, longitudinal analysis of two global virtual teams to examine the discursive construction of subgroups and the role they play in team dynamics. Through a multi-method analysis of a corpus of 839 emails and 16 interviews with members of two global project…
Multisensory discourse resources : decolonizing ethnographic research practices
2020
Researchers have attempted to address the intersection of multisensory and multimodal discourse practices from an interactional perspective. This study argues for the value of experiential, non-interactional multisensory discourse resources and proposes a conceptual framework of multisensory discourse resources to bridge visual and family language ideology ethnography. A year-long ethnographic case study of three Nepalese families (immigrant and transmigrant), consisting of 150 h of observational data triangulated with qualitative interviews, posed two questions: (1) How do transnational families, in the homescape, use multisensory discourse resources to provide cultural, national, religiou…
Scholarly discussion as engineering the meanings of a European cultural heritage
2016
The vague concept of a European cultural heritage is frequently referred to – but rarely explicitly defined – in scholarly discussion. The use of the concept in academia constructs a European cultural heritage as a category in research and explicitly and implicitly produces its focuses and outlines. Thus, the use of the concept can be considered as scholarly engineering of a European cultural heritage. To be able to have a scholarly discussion about a European cultural heritage, the meanings and uses of the concept need to be clarified. This article examines the meanings and uses of the concept in recent scholarly articles published in various disciplines. In the study, the concept analysi…
Categories and boundaries in Sámi exhibitions
2019
This article examines the construction of ethnicity in the permanent exhibitions of two Sami museums: Siida, the National Museum of the Finnish Sami and a Nature Centre of Metsahallitus, and ajtte, the Swedish Mountain and Sami Museum. The aim of the article is to find out how ethnic categories and boundaries are created by the exhibitions, and how the museum presentations relate to contemporary public discussions about Sami ethnicity. The presentations are analysed within the framework of discourse analysis. The findings suggest that the two museums, with a few possible exceptions, tend to produce a clear and stable ethnic boundary between the Sami and other ethnicities. Like the Sami ethn…
Negations and negativity as linguistic devices in policy discourse of intercultural cities
2015
International audience; Intercultural cities – a joint initiative launched in 2008 by the European Commission and the Council of Europe – aims to develop a model supporting intercultural integration within diversified urban communities. This article examines, using methods of applied linguistics and discourse analysis, how intercultural urban policy is linguistically produced in the initiative. The examination indicates that the intercultural urban policy in the initiative is ‘negative politics’: the policy rhetoric commonly outlines the content of interculturalism by describing what is not included in it and what the policy is not about. The language used in the intercultural urban policy …
Semiotics of pride and profit: interrogating commodification in indigenous handicraft production
2014
This study investigates the shifting terrain of pride, profit and power relations in minority language communities under contemporary globalisation. While “pride” associates linguistic-cultural heritage with identity and preservation, “profit” views these as sources of economic gain. In contemporary late capitalism, “pride” seems to be increasingly giving way to “profit”. Arguing that this transformation needs to be interrogated in terms of complexity and that a detailed, multilayered semiotic analysis can open a privileged window for such an inquiry, this study combines critical multimodal discourse analysis and an ethnographic approach to analyse processes of semiotic commodification in h…
