Sosiomateriaalinen näkökulma vuorovaikutukseen muuttuvissa työtiloissa
2022
Työelämään ja organisaatioihin ovat viime vuosina vaikuttaneet monet eri muutokset. Yksi voimakkaimmista muutoksista koskee sitä, missä töitä tehdään eli työnteon tiloja. Tutkimuksissa on tarkasteltu muun muassa tilojen roolia ihmisten välisen vuorovaikutuksen edistämisessä, työntekijöiden oppimisen tukemisessa sekä inklusiivisuuden ja monimuotoisuuden vahvistamisessa. Viime aikoina huomiota on kiinnitetty erityisesti siihen, miten tilat vaikuttavat ihmisten toimijuuteen eli kykyyn ja mahdollisuuksiin toimia tai vaikuttaa erilaisiin työhön liittyviin tilanteisiin. Tässä puheenvuorossa keskityn siihen, miten tilojen ja ihmistoimijuuden välistä suhdetta voidaan tutkia niin kutsutusta sosiomat…

Based on recent studies on materiality, picturebook research, and cognitive studies, this paper investigates how children may perceive picturebooks as objects and their material properties. In this regard, we emphasise three dimensions of picturebooks as objects and relate them to developmental stages. The first dimension concerns the materials the picturebooks are composed of, such as paper, cardboard, wood, plastics, and cloth. The second dimension refers to the type of book, e.g. hardbacks, sets of cardboard sheets, fanfold books, pop-up books, and even hybrid objects such as books which are toys at the same time. Finally, this study focuses on the types of actions that are associated wi…
Performative Archives: The Visual Poetry of bpNichol and Derek Beaulieu
2019
International audience; La performance de l’archive dans la poésie visuelle de bpNichol et Derek Beaulieu”En s’adonnant à la dimension matérielle de l’écriture, la poésie visuelle s’engage dans une voie exploratrice qui pense ensemble matériau, écriture et mémoire. La figure de l’archive se decline au sens métaphorique pour dire cette relation. Elle traverse la tradition poétique en suivant la trace des formes adoptées par les divers supports de l’écrit. Si la poésie visuelle peut se dire archive de l’expérience scripturale, ses inscriptions sont le reflet du flux qui caractérise une esthétique et un environnement conditionnés de maniére croissante par des supports technologiques. Cet artic…
Rationalitäten der Wissenproduktion: Über Transformationen von Gegenständen, Technologien und Information in Biomedizin und Lebenswissenschaften
2009
Rationalities of Knowledge Production: On Transformations of Objects, Technologies and Information in Biomedicine and the Life Sciences. Since decades, scientific change has been interpreted in the light of of paradigm shifts and scientific revolutions. The Kuhnian interpretation of scientific change however is now more and more confronted with non-disciplinary thinking in both, science and studies on science. This paper explores how research in biomedicine and the life sciences can be characterized by different rationalities, sometimes converging, sometimes contradictory, all present at the same time with varying ways of influence, impact, and visibility. In general, the rationality of obj…
Affordances and Agential Realism : A Relational Ontology for a Relational Theory
2018
Relational view of affordance theory has emerged as a viable theory in Information Systems (IS) research to explain variation in IS use. According to this theory, what a specific person can achieve with a technology is neither inherent in the person himself nor on the technology but emerges from their interaction. Despite that such relational view implies relational ontology, the ontological foundations have been insufficiently theorized which limits both its practical and theoretical applicability and explanatory power. In this paper, I suggest that Karen Barad’s relational ontology, known as agential realism, provides coherent and solid foundations for affordances that are especially suit…
A lack of meaning?
2020
This article explores the ‘lack of meaning’ in contemporary society as a consequence of Western dualist thought paradigms and ontologies, via Gilles Deleuze’s concept of ‘reactive nihilism’ following the colloquial murder of God. The article then explores processual and new materialist approaches in the understanding of the lived and carnal self, arguing for immanent and senseful materiality as an ethical platform for religious, environmental, and societal solidarity for tomorrow. For the theoretical justification of the processual approach in understanding the enfleshed self, the article employs John Dupré’s processual approach in the philosophy of biology, as well as Astrida Neimani’s cri…
Structure and form. Changes of state in architecture – from modern to contemporary
2016
The relationship between the terms Structure and Form, while expressing a consideration on the tectonic component of composition, registers a cyclical evolution of the archi-tecture of the building. The solidity of the Modern, the liquidity of "post-modern conditions", the evaporation of the contemporary aesthetics of disappearance outline a return to a solid state of the matter outlining the basic assumption of formal research in architecture in the sculptural mass of the building.
Digital materialities in the diasporic mourning of migrant death
2019
This article examines memorialization among the family and friends of those who have died at the world’s deadliest border in the Mediterranean Sea. Digital media platforms are central spaces for new, innovative forms of coping with ambiguous loss or the inability to mourn over a dead body. The analysis focuses on the role of digital media technologies and the relationship between digital and material elements in memorialization. I examine the creation and circulation of digital objects of memorialization: visual assemblages in which the material and digital intertwine. The analysis demonstrates that digital media practices are not separate from the material world, nor do they make mourning …
Important thoughts on images and words
2015
Both images and words have their unique materiality that tends to be forgotten or bypassed in our modern times and perhaps in particular in our technology-driven contemporary culture. This oblivion...
La utilidad de los informes de sostenibilidad en entidades públicas y privadas en Colombia
2021
El aumento en la divulgación de información social y medioambiental (de sostenibilidad) genera preguntas sobre su utilidad y materialidad, lo que implica conocer las expectativas de los stakeholders. El stakeholder engagement permite señalar que la participación de los grupos de interés no solo debe centrarse en la producción de la información en las empresas, sino también en la definición de los marcos y estándares que estructuran estos reportes. Este trabajo busca caracterizar las expectativas y la percepción que tienen diversos stakeholders, sobre la utilidad de los informes de sostenibilidad emitidos por organizaciones públicas y privadas en Colombia. A partir de dos cuestionarios respo…
