Faktan ja fiktion rajamailla : kaunokirjallisen journalismin poetiikka suomalaisissa aikakauslehdissä
2009
Maria Lassila-Merisalo kartoitti väitöstutkimuksessaan suomalaista kaunokirjallista journalismia, joka perustuu faktapohjaisen materiaalin esittämiseen fiktiolle tyypillisten kerrontakeinojen avulla. Hän havaitsi, että lajin kriteerit täyttävää journalismia on harjoitettu maassamme hyvinkin mainitsemisen arvoisesti, mutta ei kovin yhtenäisesti saati organisoidusti. Lajityyppi tunnetaankin heikosti.- Esimerkkejä kaunokirjallisesta journalismista voi löytää vaikkapa Helsingin Sanomien Kuukausiliitteestä tai sanomalehtien sunnuntaisivuilta, Lassila-Merisalo kertoo.Kaunokirjallisen journalismin elkeitä ilmestyi suomalaisiin lehtiin Lassila-Merisalon mukaan 1900-luvun taitteessa, ensimmäisten re…
Fictosexuality, Fictoromance, and Fictophilia: A Qualitative Study of Love and Desire for Fictional Characters
2021
Fictosexuality, fictoromance, and fictophilia are terms that have recently become popular in online environments as indicators of strong and lasting feelings of love, infatuation, or desire for one or more fictional characters. This article explores the phenomenon by qualitative thematic analysis of 71 relevant online discussions. Five central themes emerge from the data: (1) fictophilic paradox, (2) fictophilic stigma, (3) fictophilic behaviors, (4) fictophilic asexuality, and (5) fictophilic supernormal stimuli. The findings are further discussed and ultimately compared to the long-term debates on human sexuality in relation to fictional characters in Japanese media psychology. Contexts f…
El cuerpo materno en la red: entre el orden de lo ?deseable? y el de lo real
2019
El estilo de vida fitness se realiza en, y a través de, un entramado subjetivo y de poder en el que circulan y se ensamblan dispositivos empresariales, terapéuticos, sanitarios y de espectacularización de los cuerpos, tendientes a inscribir la vida de la población en las tramas conflictivas de un capitalismo heterosexista, neoliberal e informacional. En dicho marco, la temporalidad, metamorfosis y plasticidad del cuerpo materno irrumpe como problema y objeto de intervención de tecnologías diversas orientadas a ajustar su tamaño, forma y devenir a los parámetros de la vida activa y saludable. En escenarios digitales, dicha tensión se materializa, por un lado, a través de dispositivos visuale…
Engaging with film characters : Empirical study on the reception of characters in The Hobbit films
2017
Characters are important for the audience reception of films, but little empirical research on actual audiences has been conducted on the topic of character reception. Are characters important for all audiences, and if not, what are the possible reasons and implications? How do audiences construct their engagement with characters? I argue that in addition to elements in Murray Smith’s classic model, structure of sympathy, other elements should be included when studying character engagement. This article presents an empirical study on the reception of characters using the Nordic responses (4,879 total) drawn from the global audience survey on The Hobbit fantasy film trilogy (Jackson, An Unex…

Changes in Students' Psychological Well-Being during Transition from Primary School to Lower Secondary School : A Person-Centered Approach
2019
This person-centered study examined the patterns and the dynamics of pattern change based on 1666 Finnish students' self-reported psychological well-being during the transition from primary school to lower secondary school. Moreover, we examined the stability in the profile memberships and the influence of changes in perceived support from teachers, families, and peers on changes in students' psychological well-being. Six student profiles were identified using the I-states-as-objects-analysis (ISOA) procedure: (a) High well-being profile; (b) Average well-being but low educational aspirations profile; (c) Low well-being profile; (d) Low well-being but high educational aspirations profile; (…
