Taide kulttuurien välisenä siltana : kansainvälinen lasten ja nuorten taidekilpailu ja -näyttely kansainvälisyyskasvattajana 1970-1990

2015

Miten taide ja taidekasvatus voi edistää kansainvälisyyskasvatusta? Mikä taiteessa ja taidekasvatuksessa mahdollistaa tämän kaltaisen toiminnan? Miten kansainvälisyyskasvatus on näkynyt vuonna 1971 perustetun Hyvinkään Kansainvälisen lasten ja nuorten taidekilpailun ja –näyttelyn taustalla vaikuttaneissa tavoitteissa? Miten kansainvälinen taidekilpailu ja -näyttely on toiminut kansainvälisyyskasvattajana? Näihin kysymyksiin etsin vastauksia tässä pro-gradu-tutkielmassani. Kansainvälisyyskasvatus tuli yleiseksi tavoitteeksi toisen maailmansodan jälkeen muodostetun YK:n ja sen kasvatus-, tiede- ja kulttuurijärjestön Unescon kehotuksissa. Etenkin Unescon vuoden 1974 suositus kehotti kasvattama…

Aesthetic imagination and animate peace

2017

This chapter discusses the nature crisis through looking at how one might work towards dynamic coexistence with non-human nature through communicating and bonding with domestic mammals, thereby anchoring ourselves in the world. It explores the negative and positive peace between humans and non-human nature, and introduces 'animate peace' to suggest that peace is a dynamic, complex and challenging, in addition to rewarding, state of affairs. The chapter focuses on the multimodal, holistic character of communication; how it is temporally layered and emerging in a relationship that transforms both parts; and how it marginalises verbal language as a means of communication. It expresses that the…

Building Worlds Together with Sound and Music : Imagination as an Active Engagement between Ourselves

2019

By conforming to the enactive approach to human cognition, and by adopting the Tia DeNora’s concept of human–music interaction as an “in-action” perspective, Kai Tuuri and Henna-Riikka Peltola explore socially extended imagining with sounds and music. This is done through a question of how “shared places” of imagining with sound are established and maintained. Defining the activity of imagining as an essentially dynamic and generative process that takes place in a social reality, the authors propose that the processes of imagining are not only individual but also become exhibited and jointly engaged in social dialogues as well. By first discussing the theoretical foundations of this shared …

Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Mary Wollstonecraft on the imagination

2017

The article compares Rousseau’s and Wollstonecraft’s views on the imagination. It is argued that though Wollstonecraft was evidently influenced by Rousseau, there are significant differences between their views. These differences are grounded in their different views on the faculty of reason and its relation to the passions. Whereas Rousseau characterizes reason as a derivative faculty, grounded in the more primary faculty of perfectibility, Wollstonecraft perceives reason as the faculty defining human nature. It is argued that contrary to what is often assumed, Wollstonecraft’s conception of the imagination is not primarily characterized by its Romantic features, but rather by the close af…

Luova toiminta hermeneuttisena horisonttina : Kevin J. Vanhoozerin käsitys draamasta, eettisestä kasvusta ja oppimisesta

2018

The aim of this research is to analyze Kevin J. Vanhoozer’s theory of creative action as a hermeneutical viewpoint in the light of learning and ethical development. The method used in this research is systematic analysis. Vanhoozer’s understanding of action differs strongly from that of Marx and of Dewey. By turning to philosophical hermeneutics he finds a way through Aristotle’s drama theory where creative action is a basis for the Gadamerian horizon, but instead of fusing the horizons Vanhoozer sees it as the viewpoint of Bakhtinian outsider, which in turn provides an opportunity to critique the surrounding culture. The horizon becomes wider and clearer through improvisation and spontanei…

Being Carried Away : Fink and Winnicott on the Locus of Playing

2021

Abstract The article investigates the question of the experiential location of the area of play, comparing the accounts of Eugen Fink and Donald Winnicott. It argues that while Fink builds on the phenomenological distinction between subjective phantasy and external perception, and accordingly introduces the area of play as a hybrid realm, a peculiar combination of the two, Winnicott considers the area of play as something that underlies and developmentally precedes the experiential differentiation between phantasy and external reality. While from Fink’s viewpoint Winnicott’s model neglects a central phenomenological distinction, from Winnicott’s viewpoint Fink’s account, in turn, appears ad…

Utopioiden ajankuva: voiko poliittisen mielikuvituksen pelastaa?

2018

Kun instituutiot saadaan näyttämään annetuilta ja mahdottomilta muuttaa, myös toisenlaisten instituutioiden kuvittelu käy työlääksi. Konkreettinen esimerkki tästä on useiden pitkän linjan filosofian opettajien havainto, jonka mukaan nykyisin on hyvin vaikea saada lukiolaisia kuvittelemaan vaihtoehtoyhteiskuntia tai ihanneyhteiskuntia. Vielä vuosikymmen sitten harjoitus tuotti hyvinkin paljon lennokkaita ja kekseliäitä tuloksia. nonPeerReviewed

Strange Tools and Dark Materials : Speculating Beyond Narratives with Philosophical Instruments

2022

Although Alva Noë’s Strange Tools: Art and Human Nature (2015) makes no direct reference to Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy (1995–2000), these otherwise dissimilar works share an astonishingly similar and current view of the mind: both Noë and Pullman construe cognition as embodied action that extends and reflects on its own possibilities through various instruments and technologies. For Noë, the key technology aiding this reaching of the mind is art; making and engaging with art is a self-reflexive endeavor that makes our activities available for closer examination and evaluation. By extension, works of speculative fiction could be read as illustrations of or investigations int…
