Der hermeneutische Akt des Übersetzens. Schleiermacher und die Literaturverfilmung
2015
Friedrich Schleiermacher’s notion of translation can be applied productively to the dialogical relationship of literature and film. Whilst a literary translator translates the original text into the target language, thus stepping back behind the original, this process is entirely different in the case of literary adaptation. Here it is the director who takes the author’s place, ostensibly causing the original text to disappear. Furthermore, the translation of a literary text into the language of cinema is an interpretative engagement with, and an attempt to better understand, the original work. In contrast with translation in a stricter sense, which has by its nature a duty to uphold and to…
Cinema Letters: Queer Typography to Training Teachers in Diversity and Visual Culture
2020
This paper presents a series of proposals to innovate in the field of teacher training from a critical perspective. We use art and design education incorporating creative aspects that range from the textual discourses of visual culture (cinema) and typography to issues of sexual diversity and queer dissidences. We promote creative experiences by introducing as a reference the study of typographies designed for films that raise LGBT issues. We review the typographical tradition of design elements related to the cinema, such as posters or main titles. We approach different questions from a multidisciplinary perspective, always thinking about teacher training and also about the educational pot…
Narratives of satisfying and unsatisfying experiences of current mobile augmented reality applications
2012
Over the last few years, mobile applications demonstrating Augmented Reality (AR) - such as Layar, Junaio and Google Goggles - have been introduced to consumers. We conducted an online survey to explore the user experience (UX) of early stage mobile AR applications available in the market in spring 2011, covering both location-based AR browsers and image recognition AR applications for object-based interaction. We identify various types of experiences such applications have evoked by qualitatively analyzing 84 users' narratives of their most satisfying and unsatisfying experiences. The results highlight, for example, experiences of awareness of surroundings, empowerment, positive surprise, …
Measuring user responses to interactive stories: Towards a standardized assessment tool
2010
With the increasing number of prototypes and market applications of interactive storytelling, the understanding and optimization of how end users respond to computer-mediated interactive narratives is of growing importance. Based on a conceptual model of user experiences in interactive storytelling, a measurement instrument for empirical user-based research was developed. We report findings from an initial test of the self-report scales that was conducted with N=80 players of the adventure game "Fahrenheit". Interactivity was manipulated experimentally in order to validate the measures. Results suggest that the scales will be useful for comparing user responses to 'real' interactive storyte…
You realise you are better when you want to live, want to go out, want to see people: Recovery as assemblage
2021
Background: The lack of social and material perspectives in descriptions of recovery processes is almost common in recovery research. Aim: Consequently, we investigated recovery stories and how people with mental health and/or addiction challenges included social and material aspects in these stories. Method: We conducted focus group and individual interviews. We investigated how the participants narrated their stories and how they assembled places and people in their recovery stories. Results: We found that narratives of recovery became assemblages where humans and their environments co-exist and are interdependent. Conclusion: As such, narratives about recovery are about everyday assembla…
Emerging identity of Finnish nurse teachers: student teachers' narratives in a group exam.
2005
Summary In Finland students pursuing in Master's Degree Programme have a previous degree in nursing from polytechnics. Nurse teacher qualification also includes at least five year's experience of working in practice. This article concentrates on the conflicts student teachers brought up in a group exam as regards changing a nurse's identity into a teacher's identity in teacher training. The approach of the study on this group was narrative. The data were collected by videotaping two group exam situations (five hours in all) of volunteer student teachers ( N =5) during the last course (Nurse teacher's inquiring mind) of their nurse teacher studies in 2002. The material was transcribed and an…

La scrittura espressiva: fondamenti teorici, applicazioni e nuove prospettive di ricerca
2014
Raccontare le esperienze traumatiche e stressanti della propria vita, cercando di chiarirne i significati personali, serve non solo ad oggettivare i propri vissuti ed a conoscersi meglio, ma può anche migliorare le condizioni di salute psico-fisica, l’efficienza personale e modificare in senso positivo il modo di pensare, gli atteggiamenti, i comportamenti e le relazioni interpersonali. James Pennebaker ha inaugurato un filone di studi sperimentali volti a chiarire gli effetti della scrittura espressiva e i meccanismi psicofisiologici che si innescano quando traumi ed esperienze stressanti sono verbalizzati. Il pensiero narrativo è la prospettiva che dà fondamento teorico a tale metodo di r…
Narrative and Place
2017
The purpose of this chapter is to explore possible intersections between place and narrative, questioning an understanding that simply associates place with space and narrative with time and infers their separation from that. After introducing two directions from which the problem can be addressed, namely the role of place for the phenomena analyzed in terms of narrative, on the one hand, and the role of narrative for the understanding of place, on the other, the text pursues the first perspective and explores the relation between place and narrative with regard to the theory of the self, ethics, the theory of action and history. The concluding section briefly discusses the way narrative in…
What can gender tell us about the pre-retirement experiences of elite distance runners in Finland?: A thematic narrative analysis
