Kapina kampuksella
2013
Ei tullut kumousta. Ei vaikka vasemmistoradikaali opiskelijaliike kapinoi, metelöi ja teki vallankumoustyötä vuosikausia innokkaasti, uhrautuvasti, teorianmukaisesti ja kurinalaisesti. Opiskelijaradikalismin aikakaudella 1960- ja 1970-luvulla tapahtui paljon. Jyväskylässä opiskelijat taistelivat ja kirjoittivat. He lakkoilivat, polttivat auton ja valtasivat yliopiston päärakennuksen. Opiskelijapolvi seurasi toista. Opiskelijaliike syntyi, tiivistyi, hajosi moneen suuntaan – ja lakkasi. Tutkimuksessaan professori Kustaa H. J. Vilkuna analysoi opiskelijaradikalismia paikallisena ilmiönä. Hän arvioi opiskelijaliikkeen poliittista kulttuuria, sen synty- ja kehitysprosesseja, rakenteita, identit…

The impurity of praxis : Arendt and Agamben
2023
AbstractIf politics is understood as a foundational and open-ended activity, a general problem that arises from such a framing concerns the question of how to sustain the possibility of continuous openings without converting action into permanence and closure. In this article, we approach this problematic by treating Hannah Arendt as an exemplary figure in the current of political thought that emphasizes the indeterminate nature of action. We focus more specifically on how Arendt addressed the question of sustaining action by exploring the role of forgiveness, promises, divided power, and principles of action in her thought. While we show that the task of sustaining the indeterminacy of act…

“Like Ants in a Colony We Do Our Share”: Political Animals in Medieval Philosophy
2021
This chapter discusses the reception of the Aristotelian concept of ‘political animal’ in thirteenth and fourteenth century Latin philosophy. Aristotle thought that there are other political animals besides human beings, and his idea of what it means to be a political animal was partially based on biological needs and desires that lead animals to live together. By analysing what medieval philosophers thought of other political animals - such as ants, bees, and cranes - and of the biological basis of the political nature of humans, the chapter elaborates on the precise meaning of the concept of political animal. It is argued that biological aspects play a significant role in medieval views, …
The participation paradox: demand for and fear of immigrant participation
2019
In this paper, we address the ambivalence in European immigrant integration discourses toward the political participation of immigrants. We show how this ambivalence manifests in what we call a ‘participation paradox’, which is constituted by two apparently conflicting, but potentially mutually reinforcing characteristics of the discourse. The first emphasizes the need for immigrants to be active in order to attain a well-integrated society and well-functioning democratic polity; the second is a call for the protection of liberal democratic institutions from the alleged ‘illiberal threats’ that migrants pose to society. Immigrant participation is thus both demanded and feared. Using illustr…
The occupation of Runet? : The tightening state regulation of the Russian-language section of the internet
2019
In this chapter, we scrutinise the Russian state’s regulation for political purposes of the Russian-language section of the internet or ‘Runet’, as it is often dubbed in Russia. We will focus on those regulative actions which came into force during and after the protest wave in Russia in 2011–2013. Internet and social media played an important role in the mobilisation of these protests that challenged the legitimacy of the ruling elite. We argue that the protests marked a watershed moment in the Russian government’s information policy, which had previously mainly functioned through the control of the federal Russian TV channels. After the protests, the Kremlin mounted a campaign to regulate…
