‘I shared the joy’: sport-related social support and communality on Instagram
2020
The popularity of sharing photographs on digital platforms has increased significantly due to the communicative affordances of mobile media and the emergence of photo-sharing applications, such as Instagram. In this paper, we examine how social support and communality can be built and reinforced through digital visual communication. We focus especially on photo sharing in the context of recreational climbing and trail running. In a qualitative study with Finnish climbers and runners, we asked what meanings sports practitioners ascribe to the practice of sharing and observed how they communicate these meanings through photographs. The results indicate that different types of visual content b…
“My Lies and Liaisons with Marilyn” : An Autofictional Representation of the Downtown Man, a Finnish Successor to the Marlboro Man in the Early 1990s
2022
In this autobiographical/autofictional article, I analyze the representation of masculinity, an advertising poster for a new Finnish cigarette brand from the 1990s recession, when a new man, a “softie,” debuted under the pressure of the traditional male model and the twenty-first-century dudes and lads. The model posing in the poster is a homosexual, me. In the article I ask whether a gay could represent a Finnish man in the early 1990s or only present him. I examine the picture with a queer eye in search of inconsistencies and distortions that break present alternative interpretations to heteronormativity.
 Keywords: homosexuality, masculinity, heteronormativity, advertising, represen…
Communicative memory of irregular migration: The re-circulation of news images on YouTube
2016
This article analyses user-generated YouTube cut and mix videos of irregular migration as producing communicative memory of those who have suffered at Europe’s external borders. Visual and textual analyses examine a neglected perspective on the study of media representations of migration by examining a particular practice through which people engage with news images and participate in (re)construction of collective memory in relation to irregular migration. The analysis shows that while hegemonic Eurocentric imagery prevails also in the vernacular amateur productions, re-mixing different cultural productions nevertheless complicates the representation of irregular migration and affords alte…
Post memory and cinematic affect in The Midwife
2017
The Second World War has proved a rich source of inspiration for fiction films worldwide. The Finnish fiction film The Midwife (Kätilö, Antti J. Jokinen, 2015) is aimed at an international audience with a story that takes place in the context of the Lapland War in Finland in 1944. The film tells of a romantic relationship between a local woman and a member of the German army, in a highly affective manner. This article argues that the film downplays elements that might have interested the national, or local, audience, and that it privileges affect over knowledge. To bring out the film’s transnational character, the article begins by analysing it in the context of national, or local, and glob…
Reimagining cultural memory of the arctic in the graphic narratives of Oqaluttuaq
2021
The Greenlandic oral story-telling tradition, Oqaluttuaq, meaning “history,” “legend,” and “narrative,” is recognized as an important entry point into Arctic collective memory. The graphic artist Nuka K. Godtfredsen and his literary and scientific collaborators have used the term as the title of graphic narratives published from 2009 to 2018, and focused on four moments or ‘snippets’ from Greenland’s history (from the periods of Saqqaq, late Dorset, Norse settlement, and European colonization). Adopting a fragmentary and episodic approach to historical narrativization, the texts frame the modern European presence in Greenland as one of multiple migrations to and settlements in the Artic, ra…
Temporality in cosmopolitan solidarity : Archival activism and participatory documentary film as mediated witnessing of suffering at Europe’s borders
2019
This article develops and extends the idea of cosmopolitan solidarity to temporality through a case study of archival activism and participatory film-making. It examines mediated witnessing within the Italian online audiovisual archive Archivio delle memorie migranti, which documents and archives the experiences of contemporary migrants in Italy. The moral basis of Archivio delle memorie migranti is cosmopolitan solidarity, which is usually understood as a practice that crosses spatial and communal boundaries. However, the ethics of solidarity also bridges past, present and future generations. Through the case of Archivio delle memorie migranti, this article demonstrates the significance o…
Tietoturva digitaalisella elokuva-alalla
2014
Välivaara, Ville Tietoturva digitaalisella elokuva-alalla Jyväskylä: Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2013, 35 s. Tietojärjestelmätiede, kandidaatin tutkielma Ohjaaja: Halttunen, Veikko Elokuva-alalla viime vuosina läpi lyönyt digitaalinen esitystekniikka on muokannut alaa merkittävästi. Se on tuonut mukanaan lukuisia mahdollisuuksia ja parannuksia, mutta myös aiheellisen huolen liittyen tietoturvauhkiin ja kasvaneeseen pelkoon piratismista. Tässä tutkielmassa muodostetaan kokonaiskuva elokuva-alalla käytössä olevasta tietoturva-arkkitehtuurista, tuodaan ilmi mahdollisia hyökkäyskeinoja joita laittoman elokuvakopion muodostamiseen voidaan käyttää, pohditaan nykyisen tietoturva-arkkitehtuurin heikkouks…
Teacher ability evaluation and changes in elementary student profiles of motivation and performance in mathematics
2018
Abstract The aim of this person-centered study is to identify the profiles of interest value, self-concept, and performance in the domain of mathematics among elementary school students and to examine the stability and changes in these profiles from grade 1 to grade 2. Teacher-reported evaluations of students' mathematical ability and gender were examined as predictors of changes in the student profiles. The sample consisted of 237 students (46.8% girls). The latent profile analysis identified four profiles: 1) low levels of interest value, medium levels of self-concept and performance; 2) low levels of interest value, self-concept and performance; 3) high levels of interest value, self-con…

Integrating Docker to a Continuous Delivery pipeline : a pragmatic approach
2016
Docker on kevyt avoimen alustan sovellus, joka pystyy pakkaamaan sovelluksen kaikkien tarvittavien riippuvuuksien kanssa yhteen konttiin, ja tätä teknologiaa kutsutaan konttiteknologiaksi. Oikein käytettynä IT-ammattilaiset voivat saada konttiteknologiasta merkittäviä hyötyjä, sillä näitä paketteja voidaan helposti rakentaa, lähettää ja ajaa hajautetuissa järjestelmissä. Dockerin nousu on hämmästyttävää, sillä siitä on tullut konttiteknologian standardi vain kolmessa vuodessa ja se toimii jo nativisti Windowsilla sekä Linuxilla. Tämä teknologia tarjoaa suuria mahdollisuuksia tulevaisuuden ohjelmistokehitykselle sekä käyttöönotolle tarjoamalla uudenlaisia tapoja siirrettävyyden, skaalautuvuu…
