Labour Market Demands, Employability and Authenticity
2021
AbstractFinding employment has been a challenge for young adults in recent years. This is not only due to high unemployment rates, but also because entering working life is more complicated than before. It is no longer just a question of credentials and skills. ‘Employability’ depends on investments in personal capacities: labour market demands in recruitment exceed the capacity of employees’ bodies and minds. This article asks what demands for increasing one’s employability young adults (aged 18–30) experience in relation to their education and working life and how they respond to these ideas, especially to the idea of modifying their minds and bodies—habitus—in order to increase their emp…
Moral Orders of Mobility: Youth Aspirations and ‘Doing’ Social Position in Finland
2021
By studying the moral orders that young Finnish adults (aged 18–30) attach to geographical mobility, this article reveals previously neglected relationships between aspiration and mobility. The 40 young adult interviewees are living in the midst of Finnish political debates about youth aspiration, which emphasise geographical rather than social mobility as a way to enhance employability and demonstrate aspiration. We argue that young people themselves use the discourse of geographical mobility by leaning on morally ordered social positionings which tend to be classed and gendered. They position themselves on a moral map of Finnish society, and in doing so they work and rework the social or…

Seksuālo minoritāšu attēlojums jaunākajā latviešu prozā (2001-2015)
2018
Lai arī PSRS sabrukums veicināja seksualitātes pārnesi no tabuizētās perifērijas uz publisko diskursu, joprojām sabiedrības apziņā dzīvo PSRS varas konstruētie mīti, kuri turpina determinēt Latvijas varas instanču un sabiedrības konservatīvo attieksmi pret aktuāliem un nozīmīgiem 21. gadsimta problēmjautājumiem, tostarp seksuālo minoritāšu problemātiku. Darba mērķis: atklāt seksuālo minoritāšu tematisko struktūru jaunākajā latviešu prozā. Darba uzdevumi: apzināt teorētisko literatūru par zilo teoriju un gender studijām; balstoties zilo teorijā, pētīt „nenormatīvās” seksualitātes atveides modeli jaunākajā latviešu prozā; apkopot raksturīgākās poētiskās stratēģijas, ar kuru palīdzību tiek kon…
Women in Aeschylean scene: a linguistic characterization
2021
Este trabalho examina os dispositivos linguísticos por meio dos quais Ésquilo conseguiu apresentar as personagens femininas da Oresteia. A análise é feita após um levantamento das seções recitativas de três tragédias; características fonéticas, morfológicas e sintáticas foram estudadas e comparadas com a linguagem dos personagens masculinos. Os resultados desta pesquisa se ajustam a outras tentativas precedentes de mostrar como a sociolinguística pode explicar o retrato formal dos personagens trágicos e cômicos. This paper examines the linguistic devices by means of which Aeschylus achieved the presentation of the female characters of the Oresteia. The analysis is made after a survey of th…
Innovative Approaches for Organizing an Inclusive Optics and Photonics Conference in Virtual Format
2023
The COVID pandemic is forcing the renewal of scientific conferences, offering opportunities to introduce technological and inclusive developments. Our analysis focuses on the implementation of inclusive practices for female and early-career researchers in a virtual scientific conference. This organization approach was applied in the XIII Spanish Optical Meeting (RNO2021), which was also characterized by avatars interacting in an online metaverse. The effectiveness of inclusive policies and novel technological tools was evaluated using the participation data and a post-conference survey. Our study reveals the high impact of inclusive actions and a strong interest in the scientific community …

Feminisma loma Dienvidkorejā un tā ietekme uz Korejas sabiedrību 21. gadsimtā
2020
Darba nosaukums ir “Feminisma loma Dienvidkorejā un tā ietekme uz Korejas sabiedrību 21. gadsimtā’’. Saistībā ar 21. gadsimtā Korejas sabiedrībā pieaugošajiem protestiem par dzimumu jautājumiem, darbā tiks apskatīta feminisma lomas nozīmība Dienvidkorejā un tā radītās sekas. Autore vēlas atzīmēt, ka 21. gadsimts ir nodrošinājis jaunajam feminisma vilnim valstī daudz skaļāku un drosmīgāku formu, kas uz Korejas tradicionālo vērtību fona vēl vairāk polarizē dzimumus. Darba mērķis ir aplūkot un izanalizēt, kā jaunais feminisma vilnis valstī ir izraisījis sabiedrības reakciju dzimumu līdztiesības jautājumos, un tā nozīmīgumu īpaši šodien. Izšķiroša uzmanība tiek pievērsta abu dzimumu viedokļiem,…
The rhetorical construction of Hillary Rodham Clinton as a presidential contender in 2016: A case study of hillaryclinton.com
2016
Niniejsze studium poświęcone jest retorycznym sposobom konstruowania obrazu kandydatki na prezydenta USA Hillary Rodham Clinton podczas pierwszej fazy kampanii 2016 roku. Kontekstem studium jest literatura na temat różnic genderowych w dyskursie politycznym, a w szczególności badania poświęcone medialnym reprezentacjom kobiet w polityce, z których wynika, że kobiety, przynajmniej w USA, muszą bardziej aktywnie niż mężczyźni kreować swój publiczny wizerunek. Za pomocą perspektywy retorycznej, zbadano strategiczny sposób konstruowania i kontrolowania publicznego obrazowania Hillary Clinton w reakcji na przedstawienia jej kandydatury przez media głównego nurtu. Analizie poddano materiały tekst…
Riconsiderare l’identità delle donne musulmane nell’Egitto post-rivoluzionario
2019
Questo articolo esplora alcune forme dell’identità femminile nell’Egitto post-rivoluzionario, quale si manifesta in due documenti pubblicati dopo la Rivoluzione del 2011 sui diritti delle donne musulmane. Sono il Documento di al–Azhar (2013) e la Dichiarazione di Alessandria (2014), concordi nel ribadire il valore delle donne e i diritti garantiti loro dalla shari‘a. L’uno e l’altra hanno visto il coinvolgimento delle femministe islamiche. Si descrivono anche le possibilità di collaborazione tra al-Azhar e le femministe islamiche, per fondare una conoscenza religiosa-femminista autoctona e sensibile al genere. Tale collaborazione è utile per l’affermazione di un’identità femminile rispettos…
