Vīrišķība un virtuve: ar ēdienu saistītu prakšu artikulācija Latvijas vīriešu vidū

2017

Darbā pētīts, kā Latvijā dzīvojoši vīrieši, kas ieņem “baltās apkaklītes” amatu, apraksta ēdiena lomu ikdienas dzīvē, pievērošot uzmanību tam, kā izpratne par vīrišķību tiek izklāstīta ar ēdienu saistītu pārliecību un prakšu kontekstā. Kvalitatīvie dati tika iegūti, izmantojot līdzdalīgo novērojumu, vizuālās dokumentācijas metodi un padziļinātās intervijas ar desmit vīriešiem. Pētījumā tiek piedāvāts ieskats teorētiskajā literatūrā par dzimtes identitātes izspēli un vērtību piešķiršanas sociālo konstruēšanu plašākā kultūras ietvarā. Pētījums norāda, ka vienlaikus pastāv dažādas vīrišķības, kas tiek izspēlētas dažādos kontekstos atkarībā no rīcībā esošiem resursiem. Interpretējot informantu …

Narratives by women managers about spousal support for their careers

2014

In this article we present a qualitative study of spousal support for the careers of women managers. The research material consists of the narratives of 25 women managers in Finland. The study has two main implications. Firstly, unlike previous studies, we use a narrative approach to demonstrate that a woman manager's career and spousal support are experienced as ambiguous and evolving over the career. The support was constructed by the women managers as flourishing, irrelevant, deficient or inconsistent. Secondly, to increase our knowledge about gender relations, we combine discussion of the topic with gender order analysis and suggest that gender order is critical for an understanding of …

Gendered positioning: Addressing gendered power and cultural discourses in therapeutic conversations

2016

This research examined gendered positioning in therapeutic conversations, especially in treatment of intimate partner violence (IPV). A feminist-informed reading combined with a discursive psychological approach was applied in three studies on positioning in therapeutic conversations. This reading focused on gendered positioning, gendered power and cultural discourses. Thus, the aim of this research was to examine how gender is constructed in therapeutic conversations that deal with couple relationship issues, and how the power distribution this entails is addressed in these conversations. The data consisted of videotaped and transcribed couple therapy sessions and group treatment sessions …

Implications of the identity position for dual career construction: Gendering the pathways to (Dis)continuation

2021

Objectives To examine how gender functions in the narrative construction of dual career styles, and how these styles impact the (dis)continuation of a dual career pathway. Design Longitudinal qualitative study. Method Life story interviews with 18 talented Finnish athletes (10 cis women, 8 cis men) at four points in time – when they averaged 16, 17, 19, and 20 years of age – followed by an integrative narrative-discursive analysis. Results (a) contrapuntal style was gender-typically female; (b) monophonic style was gender-typically male; and (c) dissonant style was an important pathway to dual career discontinuation through which gender ideologies impacted the emergent adults with different…

“I want to do well for myself as well!” : Constructing coaching careers in elite women’s football

2019

There is a limited understanding of career development of sport coaches, especially from the subjective perspective focused on personal meaning and evaluation of this life project in sport. We drew on career construction theory and narrative methodology to explore football coaches’ career development, adaptability resources, and the meanings they assigned to their journeys. Ten women’s football (soccer) coaches (2 women) aged 23-60 in England took part in narrative interviews which we analysed using thematic narrative analysis. Our analysis indicated that early immersion into the football narrative context most often resulted in low career exploration and a strong commitment to coaching as …

Tensions on Finnish Constitutional Bilingualism in Neo-nationalist Times : Constructions of Swedish in Monolingual and Bilingual Contexts

2020

This chapter analyses the tensions on the status of Finnish constitutional bilingualism from the perspective of higher education, more precisely from the position of Swedish in one monolingually Swedish university (Åbo Akademi University [ÅAU]) and one bilingual university (University of Helsinki [UH]). It contributes to an understanding of the position of minority languages in universities in times when the use of English has increased on one hand and neo-nationalist tendencies stressing the importance of national language(s) are on the rise on the other. Apparently, the new bilingual programmes at UH challenge the tradition of institutional separation of national languages. At ÅAU, in tur…

“The Kind of Music That Makes My Skin Crawl” : Disgust Associated with Musical Experiences

2023

This chapter explores the affective aspects of aversive experiences relating to music listening. In music psychology research, there is a strong consensus that one of the most important reasons that people listen to music is to experience emotions, and that most music-evoked emotions are positively toned. Negative emotions, therefore, are often considered irrelevant in a musical context. However, although many people think music is fundamentally a positive and pleasurable phenomenon, it is also known to been purposely used for evoking unpleasant affective reactions, even for torture. Such accounts challenge the idea that music or music-induced experiences could be only positive or harmless …

MALE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: INTEGRATION BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGICAL AND NEUROSCIENTIFIC DATA AND THEIR USE IN FORENSIC EVALUATION FOR THE JUDGMENTS

2020

Human growth and development, starting from conception, are characterized by a progressive increase in body and organ dimensions, as well as specific functional maturity, under the influence of genetic as well as environmental and epigenetic determinants. Beyond a possible normal familial trait, increased fetal growth resulting in a large for gestational age newborn, isolated macrosomia or that associated with congenital malformation, can be attributable to both maternal metabolic and genetic pathology. Overgrowth syndromes are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by excessive tissue development often concomitant to neurodevelopmental involvement. Recently, an increased risk of f…
