Poliittisten toimijoiden kokema vihapuhe sukupuolittuneena poliittisena väkivaltana
2020
Artikkelissamme käsittelemme poliitikkoihin kohdistuvaa vihapuhetta sukupuolittuneena ilmiönä, johon liittyvät monenlaiset tunteet ja affektit. Vihapuhe vaikuttaa kohteisiinsa monin tavoin ja saa aikaan erilaisia tunteita ja tuntemuksia. Määrittelemme vihapuheen tietyn ryhmän todelliseen tai oletettuun ominaisuuteen kohdistuvaksi uhkaavaksi, halveksivaksi tai syrjiväksi puheeksi, joka vaikuttaa kohteisiinsa fyysisen väkivallan tavoin. Tarkastelemme vihapuhetta rajatusti politiikan toimijoihin kohdistuvana verbaalisena poliittisena väkivaltana. Määritelmä laajentaa poliittisen väkivallan käsitettä kattamaan symbolisen vahingoittamisen. Vihapuhe poliittisena väkivaltana perustuu kohteiden kuu…
Conforming to and resisting imposed identities : An autoethnography on academic motherhood
2022
Purpose This research attempts to make sense of the experiences of two academic women who become mothers. Design/methodology/approach This paper is an autoethnography. Applying the autoethnographic method allows us to discuss cultural phenomena through personal reflections and experiences. Our autoethnographic reflections illustrate our struggles and attempts of resistance within discursive spaces where motherhood and our identity as academics intersect. Findings Our personal experiences combined with theoretical elaborations illuminate how the role of the mother continues to be dominated by such gendered discursive practices that conflict with the work role. Once women become mothers, they…
Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19.1 million participants
2017
Background Raised blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. We estimated worldwide trends in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of, and number of people with, raised blood pressure, defined as systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher. Methods For this analysis, we pooled national, subnational, or community population-based studies that had measured blood pressure in adults aged 18 years and older. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1975 to 2015 in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of rai…

Amor y misoginia. A propósito de "amor fou" de Marta Sanz
2019
En este breve texto abordamos una aproximación a las relaciones amorosas, la misoginia romántica y su vinculación con las relaciones asimétricas de género en sociedades occidentales contemporáneas, a partir del análisis discursivo de la novela Amor Fou de la escritora Marta Sanz (2018). Todo discurso narrativo imaginado es, simultáneamente, producto de la realidad social e histórica en la que se inscribe y productor de las representaciones simbólicas hegemónicas que sustentan relaciones instituidas de desigualdad entre los distintos agentes sociales. Desde esta perspectiva, el análisis que proponemos de esta ficción narrativa se inscribe en el cruce de algunas renovaciones epistemológicas y…
Returns To Education During And After The Economic Crisis: Evidence From Latvia 2006–2012
2017
We employ EU-SILC micro data for Latvia to study how returns to education changed during the economic crisis of 2008–2009 and afterwards. We found that returns to education increased significantly during the crisis and decreased slightly during the subsequent economic recovery. The counter-cyclical effect was evident in nearly all population groups. After the crisis, education became more associated than before with a longer working week and a higher employment probability. Furthermore, we show that returns to education in Latvia are generally higher in the capital city and its suburbs than outside the capital city region, as well as for citizens of Latvia than for resident non-citizens and…
Binds of Professionalism: Attachment in Australian and Finnish Early Years Policy
2016
Attachment theory is often referenced in psychology, social work and early childhood care and education, and is ubiquitous in popular publications directed to parents, carers and educators of young children. It is considered as a ‘grand theory’ that explains “the growth of social relationships from infants’ experiences with their caregivers and the consequent social preference called attachment” (Mercer, 2011, p. 26). In this chapter, we understand attachment theory as a discourse and as part of the ‘psy-complex’, “the sprawling speculative and regulative network of theories and practices that constitute psychology” (Parker, 2002, p. 199). We focus on the operation of ‘attachment discourses…

2020
The article presents a picture of the relationship between the public and private targets of upbringingof Finnish common people’s children in early 20th-century Finland. The statutes focusing on childrencontain the information regarding the expectations of the society. The documents date back to the periodfrom 1442 to 1917, when Finland gained independence. However, the legislation influenced people’sattitudes up to the 20th century. The narrative material consists of life stories, including episodes withproverbial speech and interpretations of proverbs. It is composed of two collections from the FolkloreArchives of Finnish Literature Society, which provide information about the childhood i…
The phenomenology of proximity violence: relational strategies and modalities used against vulnerable migrants
2019
The chapter describes an umbrella concept, proximity violence, of which violence against women is only one manifestation. Of this phenomenon , the author endeavoured to highlight the patterns that make defining its material contours and specifying the tesserae that compose it difficult. In fact cultural factors, contingent situations became entangled with concrete elements of pain and abuse of the victims. It was, therefore, a matter of betting, on the possibility of representing a phenomenon by devising a bridge between theories of gender-based violence and the “thing” – the violence of those who are not strangers and in whom, for different reasons, we trust. Filling this vacuum employing …
VIOLENZA DI PROSSIMITÀ. CURA PASTORALE E VULNERABILITÀ SOCIALE
2022
I capitoli che compongono questo volume si riconoscono nella comune origine di un progetto di ricerca – il PROVIDE – che ha fornito una messe di riflessioni generatrici di un dibattito ancora pulsante. Nascono da un approccio teorico che la curatrice ha formulato già nel 2013, con la pubblicazione del volume Violenza di prossimità, eche nelle ricerche condotte nell’ambito progetto sopracitato hanno trovato la possibilità di una verifica in progress. Voci di altissimo rilievo scientifico - Franca Bimbi, Consuelo Corradi, Marina Calloni,Ravinde Barn, Paolo Zurla - si confrontano sul tema ampliando il dibattito. Con loro interloquiscono altr* studios* - Roberta T. Di Rosa, Lia Lombardi, Gaetan…
