Outoja omakuvia : performatiivisuus ja kokemus Alison Bechdelin omaelämäkerrallisessa sarjakuvaromaanissa Fun Home
2013
Analysoin tutkimuksessani Alison Bechdelin omaelämäkerrallista sarjakuvaromaania Fun Home. A Family Tragicomic (2006). Fun Home on omaelämäkerran lisäksi elämäkerta Alisonin isästä, Bruce Bechdelistä. Bruce tekee itsemurhan Alisonin ollessa noin kaksikymmentävuotias ja jättää jälkeensä joukon vastauksettomia kysymyksiä – Fun Homessa Alison pohtii näitä kysymyksiä ja vertailee Brucen elämäntarinaa omaansa. Alison identifioituu lesboksi ja epäilee myös Brucen olleen homoseksuaali. Teoksessa on runsaasti intertekstuaalisuutta: keskeinen subteksti on esimerkiksi Ikaroksen ja Daidaloksen myytti, jonka käänteinen uudelleenkerronta kuvaa Alisonin ja Brucen välistä suhdetta. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena…
‘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…
How to Become an Author: The Poet Isa Asp and Her Childhood Fascination with Writing for Magazines
2021
In this article the author explores the early development of the identity as a writer of a Finnish-speaking poet Lovisa (or Isa) Asp (1853–1872). She wrote her lyrics in the Finnish language in the 1870s, and she is regarded as the first 19th-century female Finnish poet (whose works were published in Finnish). She began writing poetry (initially in Swedish) as a teenager and started her literary career as a contributor to children’s magazines. Asp began her studies at the Teacher Training College in Jyväskylä in autumn 1871 with the aim of working as an elementary school teacher, but she also dreamt of becoming an established writer someday. Unfortunately, her early death meant that most of…
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…

Danielin ilmestyskirja : autofiktio ja apokalyptisyys Daniel Sjölinin romaanissa Världens sista roman
2011
Tutkimuksessa analysoidaan ruotsalaisen tv-juontaja ja kirjailija Daniel Sjölinin uransa päätösteokseksi nimeää romaania Världens sista roman (2007) autofiktion ja apokalyptisyyden näkökulmista. Tutkimuksen ydinkysymyksenä on romaanin omaelämäkerrallisuuden ja omaelämäkerrallisen materiaalin tarkastelu Serge Doubrovskyn autofiktio-käsiteen kautta. Autofiktiivinen teos asettuu tietoisesti omaelämäkerran ja fiktiivisen romaanin välimaastoon hämärtäen ja venyttäen niiden rajoja. Pintapuolisesti Sjölinin romaani asettuu selkeästi fiktion alueelle mutta pinnan alla kirjailija käsittelee romaanissaan hyvin henkilökohtaisia aiheita: kirjailijanuran lopettamista ja oman lapsen menettämistä. Molemma…
