Empowerment as an affective-discursive technology in contemporary capitalism: insights from a play
2019
Over recent years, an increasing body of research in social and cultural studies has investigated the contemporary processes of social change from the point of view of affective capitalism. In this article, we take under scrutiny one of its technologies, namely, empowerment, by which we mean a state characterised by feelings of strength, ability and power that enable agency. More specifically, we investigate the way empowerment is presented in a cultural product, a play that tells a story about personnel training in a factory, shown in a city theatre in Finland. By linking recent theorisation of affective capitalism with an investigation of the intertextual and interdiscursive relations of …

TIIVISTELMÄ: Ei-inhimilliset eläimet osana aatedraaman rakentumista Laura Ruohosen näytelmissä Lintu vai kala, Kuningatar K ja Luolasto
 
 Artikkelissani tutkin näytelmäkirjailija Laura Ruohosen kolmea nykynäytelmää aatedraaman rakentumisen näkökulmasta. Aatedraama on perinteisesti määritelty tiettyä aatetta ajavaksi tai tähdentäväksi näytelmäksi, joka pyrkii tarjoamaan jonkun ratkaisun johonkin yhteiskunnalliseen ongelmaan. Biologitaustaisen Ruohosen näytelmissä aatteellisuus nousee ihmisen ja ympäristön suhteen kriittisestä käsittelystä. Eläimiin ja luontoon liittyvät viittaukset ovat tyypillistä Ruohosen poetiikkaa. Hänen näytelmissään eläimiä esiintyy pääasiassa dialogeissa j…
Metamorphoses of Shamed Bodies : Sexual Violence in Euripides’s Helen
2021
In this paper I explore the connections between shame and embodiment in Euripides’s play Helen. The paper focuses on the play’s underlying theme of sexual violence and rape, and on the descriptions of metamorphoses that the mythological female victims often undergo in the face of rape. In my analysis on shame and embodiment I apply two insights from Giorgio Agamben’s analysis of the phenomenon of victim shame in The Remnants of Auschwitz. These are, first, the definition according to which shame is “to be consigned to what cannot be assumed”—that is, to be consigned to one’s self, being and physical body—and second, the claim that in shame one is affected by one’s own (bodily) passivity. Bu…
Interactional means of teaming up: enacting the features of contemporary working life in a theater performance
2021
Abstract The article examines how the aspects of the social world are enacted in a theater play. The data come from a videotaped performance of a professional theater, portraying a story about a workplace organization going through a personnel training program. The aim of the study is to show how the core theme of the play – the teaming up of the personnel – is constructed in the live performance through a range of interactional means. By focusing on four core episodes of the play, the study on the one hand points out to the multiple changes taking place both within and between the different episodes of the play. On the other hand, the episodes of collective action involving the semiotic re…
