The moral work of becoming a professional
2021
Abstract In contemporary working life, art-based initiatives are increasingly used in organizational training and development. For artists, this has created new employment opportunities as creative entrepreneurs who provide specialist services for workplaces. In this article, we study the dynamics of such encounters through the narrated accounts of training professionals. Our data come from a professional mentoring program where the working pairs of artists and consultants shared stories about their customer projects. By using conversation analysis as a method, we analyze the way stories are interactionally accomplished in peer group sessions of the program. In particular, we analyze how pa…
Trauma and storytelling in Betty Louise Bell’s Faces in the Moon
2018
The dominant understanding of trauma as an epistemological crisis that can be mimetically passed on to readers has in the twenty-first century been criticized for its apolitical and ahistorical ori...
Depression : The differing Narratives of Couples in Couple Therapy
2014
Introduction When a person becomes depressed, partnership can either be a source of strength, advancing recovery, or a source of further suffering, harming the health of both partners (Cordova & Gee, 2001). Also, depression in one spouse can create feelings of helplessness and hopelessness in both spouses (Cordova & Gee). These are some of the reasons why couple therapy has been used with persons diagnosed with depression and their spouses. Yet, according to Denton and Burwell's (2006) experience, which is similar to our own, the spouses of depressed patients often are not part of the treatment in psychiatric outpatient care, and hence feel unsupported, uninformed, isolated, confused, and f…
Playing horror : narrative and genre in Valve's Left 4 Dead Series
2013
The place of story and narrative in digital games has been a hotly contested topic within the field of Game Studies during the past two decades. Beyond the question of whether games can or should be used for telling stories, research interest has focused on the nature of game narratives and their distinct qualities in comparison to other expressive media, like literature and film. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to this debate by examining the elements involved in storytelling not in digital games overall, but in one particular series, namely Valve Software‘s Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. The use of this in-depth case study allows an examination of how various different elements co…
Kybertekstien narratologia : digitaalisen kerronnan alkeet
2002
Uudet teknologiat ovat avanneet kertomuksille uudenlaisia tiloja ja mahdollisuuksia. Digitaaliset ohjelmoidut tekstit ovat dynaamisia ja vuorovaikutteisia ja luovat tilanteita, joissa tekstin ja lukijan suhde pysyy jatkuvasti epävakaana. Tällaiset kertomukset haastavat itse kertomuksen käsitteen ja pakottavat ymmärtämään sen uusilla tavoilla. Kybertekstien narratologia selvittää miten ja millaiseksi kerronta ja sitä koskeva teoria muuttuu, voi muuttua ja millaiseksi sen ehkä pitäisi muuttua digitaalisessa mediassa. Tämän vuoksi tutkimuksessa risteytetään toisiinsa kaksi heuristista mallia, Espen Aarsethin kybertekstiteoria ja klassinen narratologia. Näin sijoitetaan niin uudet kuin vanhatki…

‘Strong and courageous’ but ‘constantly insecure’: dialogical self theory, intersecting identities, and Christian mixed martial arts
2021
Being a mixed martial arts fighter and a devout Christian seems to present an apparent contradiction that requires identity work to bring these identities into unity. We used Dialogical Self Theory and explored the autobiography of Ron ‘H2O’ Waterman, a professional fighter turned evangelist, to understand how the tensions between the different identities or I-positions were negotiated. We identified two I-positions, ‘Ron the Fighter’ and ‘Ron the Pater Familias’, which related differently to religion, sport, and masculinity. Importantly, the negotiations were not between MMA and faith, but between these two I-positions that served the different needs for self-enhancement and union with som…
Juonellistamisen politiikka : tarinankerronta Irakin sodassa 2003
2008
Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tunnistaa, kuinka tarina Irakin 2003 sodan käänteistä muodostui julkisuuteen. Tutkimuksen näkökulma on suuren yleisön siinä mielessä, että aineistona käytetään sanomalehtitekstejä liittyen kyseiseen sotaan. Toisaalta näkökulmana ja lähtökohtana on narratiiviteoria, jonka kautta aineistoanalyysi kulkee. Tutkimuksen aineiston muodostaa 2003 maalis-toukokuiden Helsingin Sanomat: tämän aikajakson lehdet on käyty kokonaisuudessaan läpi. Aluksi perehdytään narratiivin teoriaan työkalujen luomiseksi aineistoanalyysiä varten. Tämän jälkeen tarinankerronta sidotaan sotaan käsittelemällä narraation mahdollisia funktioita sodankäynnintaitona. Samalla keskustellaan soda…
The Clip Approach : A Visual Methodology to Support the (Re)Construction of Life Narratives
2021
Major life changes may cause an autobiographical rupture and a need to work on one’s narrative identity. This article introduces a new qualitative interview methodology originally developed to facilitate 10 prostate cancer patients and five spouses in the (re)creation of their life narratives in the context of a series of interventive interviews conducted over a timespan of several months. In “The Clip Approach” the interviewees’ words, phrases, and metaphors are reflected back in a physical form (“the Clips”) as visual artifacts that allow the interviewees to re-enter and re-consider their experience and life and re-construct their narratives concerning them. Honoring the interviewees as …
Autobiographical reading
2010
In my book, I have attempted the elaboration of a system for rereading 20th-century Hungarian autobiographies, by way of putting the emphasis on theoretical considerations. (From the “Death of the Author” to the Resurrection of the Author, Stereotypes in Autobiographical Reading) The major analytical aspects of the Autobiographical Reading focuses on the language based means of the representation of the Self. (Language and Subject, Staging the Self, Inter-Replacing Play of Image and Representation, Relationship between the Narrating and the Narrated Autobiographical Self, Memory and Identity) The choice of this subject matter is justified first of all by the fact that the conditions for the…
