‘Don’t ever mix God with sports’: Christian religion in athletes’ stories of life transitions
2019
Sport psychology researchers have increasingly recognized the need to adopt a holistic perspective when seeking to understand athletes’ adaptation to life transitions. The present study sought to understand how religion influences athletes’ journeys in sport and experiences of life transitions. Two Christian elite athletes participated in life story interviews which we analyzed via narrative analysis. Although the participants narratively separated religious belief from sport, religion, as a source of basic world assumptions and values, provided a broader framework of meaning and continuity in their sport lives. Yet, both stories involved a growing distance to institutional religious practi…
"Salvation from unhappines by doing one's best" : a rhetorical analysis on Joel Osteen's sermons in the light of the US culture and values
2014
Tiivistelmä – Abstract Tämä laadullinen tutkimus keskittyy Joel Osteenin saarnoihin. Hän johtaa maan suurinta seurakuntaa, Lakewood-kirkkoa Texasin Houstonissa, USA:ssa. Tutkielma pyrkii vastaamaan kahteen tutkimuskysymykseen: 1) Mitkä ovat Osteenin eniten käyttämät retoriset keinot, ja kuinka ne näkyvät hänen saarnoissaan? 2) Miten Osteen käyttää hyväkseen kristillisiä oppeja ja Raamatun auktoriteettia vedotakseen kuulijoidensa kulttuurillisiin arvoihin? Aineiston prominentit retoriset keinot ovat toisto, kielikuvat, pronominien käyttö sekä pronominien suhde neuvojen ja käskyjen antamiseen. Tarkasteltavat kolme kulttuurista pääarvoa ovat individualismi, itsehoito sekä materialismi. Näiden …
Self-care and total care: the twofold return of care in twentieth-century thought
2020
The paper studies two fundamentally different forms in which the concept of care makes its comeback in twentieth-century thought. We make use of a distinction made by Peter Sloterdijk, who argues that the ancient and medieval ‘ascetic’ ideal of self-enhancement through practice has re-emerged in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly in the form of a rehabilitation of the Hellenistic notion of self-care (epimeleia heautou) in Michel Foucault’s late ethics. Sloterdijk contrasts this return of self-care with Martin Heidegger’s concept of being-in-the-world as ‘total care’ (Sorge), an utterly ‘secularized’ understanding of the human being as irreducibly world-embedded that reject…

Heteroglossic and multimodal resources in use : participation across spaces of identification in a Christian lifestyle sports community
2017
This dissertation examines how members of one particular youth community, Christian lifestyle sports enthusiasts in Finland, use language and other semiotic resources to construct participation in their community of practice (CoP). The CoP is organized around the late-modern activity culture of lifestyle sports. The participants also share the Christian faith and in their snowboarding camps organize Bible study sessions and engage in prayer and worship. The theoretical and methodological framework incorporates sociolinguistics, social semiotics, discourse studies and connective ethnography, including the exploration of both the digital and physical spaces of the community. The dissertation …
