Discourses of internationalization in Finnish higher education : a critical discourse analysis of legitimation strategies used in internationalizatio…
2011
Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan kansainvälistymisen diskursseja suomalaisessa korkeakoulutuksessa erilaisten korkeakoulutuksen kansainvälisyyttä käsittelevien dokumenttien kautta. Tutkimuksen analyysin kohteena ovat kolmen tahon (”Valtio”, ”Yliopistot” ja ”Opiskelijat”) dokumenteissa käytetyt legitimaatiostrategiat ja niiden käyttötarkoitukset. Työn tutkimuskysymykset ovat 1) mitä ja mihin tarkoituksiin edellä mainitut tahot käyttävät legitimaatiostrategioita sekä 2) miten edellä mainittujen tahojen kansainvälistymisdiskurssit eroavat toisistaan. Tutkimus valottaa aiempaa korkeakoulujen kansainvälistymiseen liittyvää tutkimusta sekä kansainvälistymisen määrittelyjä. Itse tutkimusaineistoa tarkas…
Translaboration as legitimation of philosophical translation
2020
Abstract Even highly regarded translators cannot escape the common suspicion that philosophical ideas are not communicable in foreign languages – a suspicion that plagues philosophical translation. Translators effectively counter this distrust of translation when they explicitly claim to have collaborated with the author. This paper focuses on the Italian translation of Sein und Zeit (Being and Time) (first published in 1927; Heidegger 1986a), titled Essere e tempo (Heidegger 2006, trans. Marini), whose translator, Alfredo Marini, took particularly interesting measures to legitimate his work. This case is especially intriguing because Pietro Chiodi’s earlier translation (Heidegger 1953, 197…
Strategische Zitate. Zu Friedrich Kittlers Heidegger-Lektüre
2014
The article examines the variant ways in which Friedrich Kittler quotes certain passages of Martin Heiddegger’s texts and especially of Heidegger’s seminal book Sein und Zeit (1927) over the course of his academic career. It argues that the telos of Kittler’s variant, non-philological quotation is the legitimation of German studies as well as cultural studies by telling a myth: Martin Heidegger, a philosophical authority, has consequently affirmed media technology. Thus, Kittler’s practice of citation reveals its strategic intention. A reading of literary texts that takes into account the apriori function of technological innovation is an appropriate method supported by Geistesgeschichte.
Political Legitimation and European Public Spaces: Communication as Practice and Resource
2018
In this chapter, the author offers an analysis of European public spaces and follows with a discussion of the transformations in the European Commission’s communication strategy since September 2004. For the first time, the European Commission openly challenged the monopoly of political legitimacy of national political institutions. It was involved in the construction of a new communication strategy that would fill the gap between supranational segmented publics and general national publics. This risky political move involved the redefinition of the status of political communication, the reinforcement of the communication aspect in all of the Commission’s activities, the recruitment of new …
Cost Management in the Public Sector: Legitimation Behaviour and Relevant Decision Making
2016
This paper presents a case study where a cost management project was implemented using action research methodology at two Finnish organizations working in a purchaser–provider relationship. While the study demonstrates the efficiency-seeking motive behind the implementation of the management accounting tool, subsequent investigation found that tool remained partly unused despite showing its potential relevance for practice through user involvement. However, this does not necessarily signal legitimation-seeking behaviour. Reasons for not using some parts of the tool point to an overestimation of the functionality and an underestimation of implementation problems during the design process. Th…
Info-communicationnal approach of medical cannabis self-medication : analysis of figures mobilized in knowledge legitimation within a community dedic…
2022
This thesis proposes an infocommunicational approach to self-medication with medical cannabis. We question the logic of knowledge legitimization in a context where the coercive power of the French state is exercised. We seek to understand how the use of cannabis is determined in a radically constrained legislative framework, for users in a recreational or self-medication approach, but also for doctors and patients in a medical approach. To do this, we analyze the processes of knowledge legitimization that allow the development of practical know-how allowing individuals to consume cannabis in a self-medication approach within clandestine health communities of practice, supported by participa…
Confidencialidad y protección de datos en la mediación en la Unión Europea
2018
La mediación, su confidencialidad y la protección de datos son muy importantes en el siglo XXI y objeto autónomo de muchos estudios. No obstante, en raras ocasiones se analiza la conjunción de estos elementos y las muchas exigencias jurídicas que se derivan. Se efectúan propuestas de mejora en la normativa y en los marcos contractuales de la mediación. Primero, el estudio analiza la confidencialidad y su interactuación con la protección de datos. Se analizan los sujetos obligados, el alcance de las obligaciones, su duración y garantías así como, finalmente las excepciones y restricciones a la confidencialidad. La segunda aproximación se hace desde la protección de datos, pues toda mediación…
Climate change, consumer lifestyles and legitimation strategies of sustainability-oriented firms
2021
Abstract This study explores the links between climate change, consumer lifestyles, and legitimation strategies of sustainable firms. Our findings offer new insight into this under-researched area based on qualitative case studies of four Nordic firms operating in industrial and consumer contexts. We find that climate change consciousness is a major driver for all case firms’ sustainability-focused operations, but the dynamics differed. Achieving sociopolitical legitimacy emerges as an important factor for the case firms operating in the energy sector, especially as it connects to government incentives and regulative pressures. However, cognitive legitimacy is increasingly important for the…

The discursive legitimation strategies of a nascent market
2017
Since the introduction of Gold&Green Foods Ltd’s Pulled Oats (Nyhtökaura) to the Finnish market in the spring 2016, the Finnish media has been increasingly reviewing different plant-based protein products. Gold&Green Ltd’s Pulled Oats has experienced extensive media coverage amongst other Finnish plant-based protein products which have been launched during 2016 such as VersoFood Ltd’s Härkis, Viipurilainen Kotileipomo’s Puhtikaura etc. It has yet to be seen whether the sudden inception of several plant-based protein product innovations will be defined as a pivotal era in the Finnish food industry or just a passing trend. Finnish media has aldo categorized MiFu as one of the up and coming fo…
