Developing narrative identities in youth pre-elite sport : bridging the present and the future
2019
Narrative research has contributed to understandings of athletic identity as an evolving story of the self that is creatively put together by the agentic individual but necessarily dependent on broader narratives within which we all live our lives. However, most studies in sport have focused on retrospective ‘big stories’ of athletes’ lives, rather than on-going, future-oriented identity construction through storytelling. In this study, we explored Finnish pre-elite athletes’ emerging stories of the self to understand the processes associated with the narrative selection and the resources they tap into in making sport meaningful to them. Nine women and eight men aged 17–18 were invited to c…
Restoring Harmony in the Lifeworld? : Identity, Learning, and Leaving Preelite Sport
2020
Sport provides many youth participants with a central life project, and yet very few eventually fulfill their athletic dreams, which may lead them to disengage from sport entirely. Many studies have explored the processes of athletic retirement, but little is known about how youth athletes actually reconstruct their relationship with sport and embodiment postretirement. The authors explored these issues in the story of “Pilvi,” a Finnish alpine skier who disengaged from sport in her late adolescence. Employing an existential-phenomenological approach, they conducted six low-structured interviews with Pilvi, combined with visual methods, and identified key themes relating to the body, space,…
The Quantified Athlete: Associations of Wearables for High School Athletes
2018
The adoption of wearable technology in competitive sports can be an advantage to performance and training. Athletes who use personalised data to quantify their performances with the possibilities of sharing with others may use wearables to reinforce the athletic identity. Despite these changes, few studies have actually examined the associations between wearables and developing athletes in their quest for professional sports. Student athletes (n = 437, age = 17y) still in high schools completed a web-based survey about their professional aspirations, athletic identity, and the association with wearables. Wearables were measured by ownership and usage of apps, fitness trackers, or sports wat…
“She is where I’d want to be in my career” : Youth athletes’ role models and their implications for career and identity construction
2019
Abstract Objectives While role models have been documented to play a vital role in adolescents’ career development and identity exploration, in sport psychology they remain an untapped resource. The present study drew on narrative inquiry to explore the patterns of role model selection by adolescent student-athletes and the narrative maps these role models provide for self-construction. As a second objective, the study sought to understand the impact of gender on the selection and meaning of role models. Method Eighteen Finnish student-athletes (10 women, eight men) aged 17-18 participated in conversational interviews. We analysed the data with thematic and structural narrative analyses. Re…
Inkeriläisten sukupolvet ja kielenkäytön muutokset. Kielenkäyttäjien näkökulma attritioon
2013
Tarkastelemme artikkelissamme inkerinsuomen muutosta ja attritiota kielikäsitysten näkökulmasta hyödyntäen etenkin etnografiaa ja kansanlingvististä lähestymistapaa. Artikkelin tavoitteena on tuoda kielenkäyttäjien perspektiivi kielen muutokseen ja attritioon. Artikkeli yhdistää kaksi etnografista tutkimusta, jotka on toteutettu Pietarissa, Pietarin lähialueella ja Petroskoissa. Kaarina Monosen tutkimus keskittyy ensimmäisen sukupolven inkeriläisiin ja siihen, miten he kommentoivat inkerinsuomalaisten kielenkäytön muuttumista elämänhistorian ja muuttuneiden kieliyhteisöjen ja -olojen kautta. Ensimmäisen sukupolven inkeriläiset valaisevat osaltaan myös kielen muutosta ja murteen katoamista y…

Wine and Terroir(s) : an Identity between Myth and reality
2020
To speak about wine is obviously a sign of socialization, but is also a trend, which is part of the global interest in gastronomy. In order to build up discourses on wine, which heavily draw on marketing communication, referring to AOP and AOC labels and classifications does seem to be necessary but not sufficient, as the notion of ‘terroir’ has become prominent in many discourses and on a variety of media. The crave for authenticity and proximity permeates gastronomy and oenology markets, and the idea of terroir alone seems capable of just responding to this crave. Terroir can be seen as a warrant of identity offered by wine growers and makers, but is also demanded by consumers in quest of…

COLLEGAMENTI PER UN’IDENTITÀ CULTURALE COMUNE NEL BACINO DEL MEDITERRANEO
2021
Il Mar Mediterraneo può essere considerato il legame comune tra tutti i Paesi che lo circondano. Diversi popoli, culture, arti, mestieri, religioni e tradizioni lo hanno attraversato, forgiando una identità culturale condivisa e differenze che possono essere facilmente rintracciate in molte città e territori. La città mediterranea suggerisce unioni e dissonanze, suggellando il patto di alleanza che ha visto convivere pacificamente una società multietnica e multiculturale, creata anche a seguito di dominazioni imposte. Molte città affacciate sul Mar Mediterraneo, come quelle di Barcellona, Palermo e Skikda, obbligano ancora oggi a una riflessione su quanto appaia evidente la relazione tra i …

Con l’articolo che segue si apre una nuova sezione della rivista dedicata al design della comunicazione, che offrirà al lettore uno spazio di conoscenza e riflessione su temi che riguardano in vario modo la comunicazione visiva e il sistema dei beni culturali. Tema importante e attuale del quale mi occupo ormai da parecchi anni, sia in termini di didattica sia in termini di ricerca, e che mi ha condotto alla pubblicazione del libro La comunicazione dei beni culturali, edito da Lupetti. Gli articoli riguarderanno le principali realtà museali o i luoghi della cultura, a livello nazionale e internazionale, e la descrizione dei sistemi di identità visiva da loro adottati.
