Family language policy among Kurdish–Persian speaking families in Kermanshah, Iran
2022
Abstract Minority language studies have received increasing attention over the last decade in Iran. Drawing on Spolsky’s (Spolsky, Bernard. 2004. Language policy. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press) language policy theoretical framework, this inquiry reports on the language ideologies, practices, and management efforts of an under-explored group of Kurdish families residing in the city of Kermanshah. To this end, semi-structured interviews and ethnographic fieldwork guided the collection of data from 40 Kurdish–Persian bilingual parents. The thematic analysis of data revealed glaring inconsistencies among the three elements of family language policy (FLP). That is parents’ strong attachm…
Great Britain, British Jews and the international protection of Romanian Jews, 1900-1914 : a study of Jewish diplomacy and minority rights
2006
Matikainen tarkasteli väitöstyössään Romanian juutalaisten tilannetta kansainvälisen vähemmistöjen suojelun ja juutalaisten diplomatian kautta. Britannian juutalaiset olivat yksi tärkeimmistä Itä-Euroopan juutalaisten auttamiseksi toimineista läntisistä juutalaisyhteisöistä. Tutkimuksen kohteena olivat Britannian juutalaisten diplomatia ja Britannian hallituksen näkemykset liittyen Romanian juutalaisten asemaan vuosina 1900–1914. Matikainen selvitti myös politiikan taustalla olleita motiiveita, jotka liittyivät osittain käsityksiin kansainvälisestä vähemmistöjen suojelusta. Toisaalta asiaan vaikuttivat myös ajankohtaiset poliittiset kysymykset kuten siirtolaisuuteen liittyneet ongelmat ja B…
"Az igazság ismérve az, hogy igaz" : etika és nemzeti identitás Sütő András "Anyám könnyű álmot ígér" című művében és annak recepcio…
2008
The present work consists of three parts. The introduction outlines the basic ideas of narrative ethics and narrative identity theory, which serve as tools for the close reading of András Sütő s Anyám könnyű álmot ígér and its literary critical reception. The reasons for choosing these theories and the topics of ethics and national identity are also given here: the main argument is that, since both the analyzed literary work and its reception interweaves in a narrative form the question of moral principles with that of Hungarian identity, a narrative ethical approach on the construction of identity in the texts in question can be relevant. As far as the question of opting for revisiti…
Indigenous education in Russia : opportunities for healing and revival of the Mari and Karelian Indigenous groups?
2020
Despite being a multicultural country throughout its history, the Russian Federation has long struggled to embrace its diversity. As a result, the country’s many cultural, religious, and ethnic minority groups have been going through waves of assimilationist policies and practices. Assimilation into the Russian society enforced through formal schooling, daily life, and mass media has led to a destruction of Indigenous lifestyles, cultures, identities, and languages. This article explores the views of Russia’s Indigenous people regarding the country’s education system and its ability to support the cultural revival of Indigenous groups as well as the healing of the trauma that emerged from h…
Disentangling Law and Religion in the Rohingya Case at the International Criminal Court
2021
The Rohingya are one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. Military campaigns conducted by Myanmar against the Rohingya have led to numerous deaths, widespread cases of sexual violence, the destruction of hundreds of villages, and the deportation of more than 700,000 people to Bangladesh. These events have triggered proceedings at the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC has arguably failed to address the religious dimensions of crimes and facts in some of its previous jurisprudence appropriately. The entanglement of law and religion at the ICC may lead to an impoverished ratio decidendi and disregard for the victims’ claims. We hence argue that, by disentangling law and re…
