Valmistalon evoluutio suomalaisen puutaloteollisuuden mainoskuvastoissa 1980-2000-luvuilla
2013
Tutkielman aiheena on suomalaisten puurakenteisten valmistalojen arkkitehtuuri ja kehitys 1980-luvulta 2000-luvulle. Koska aihetta ei ole tutkittu, tutkielman tavoitteena on saada ilmiöstä kokonaiskuva. Valmistalot ovat näkyvä osa suomalaista rakennettua ympäristöä, sillä teollisesti tuotetuista omakotitaloista tuli tutkittavana ajanjaksona suosituin omakotirakentamisen muoto. Tutkimusaineistoon kuuluu 45 talokuvastoa puutaloteollisuuden eri toimijoilta sekä kolme toimitettua talo-opasta. Tutkielma edustaa laadullista tutkimusta ja pyrkii ilmiön kokonaisvaltaiseen ymmärtämiseen. Analyysi tähtää valmistalojen julkisivuarkkitehtuurin piirteiden tunnistavaan ja nimeävään tarkasteluun sekä vaik…

Adicciones y contexto sociocultural: perspectivas psicosociológicas críticas
2007
De cara a la comprensión del actual consumo juvenil de sustancias psicoactivas, en este trabajo se pretende entender de una forma adecuada y profunda tanto el consumo de drogas como la finalidad última de las campañas antidroga. Para ello se considera fundamental distinguir los diferentes tipos de consumo adictivo y, sobre todo, tener muy presente el contexto sociocultural en que ha tenido y sigue teniendo lugar tal consumo. Finalmente, se pretende utilizar el anterior análisis psicosociológico para desenmascarar los fines políticos y de control social que a menudo tienen las campañas antidrogas, que, por tanto, se convierten en verdaderas cruzadas contra el toxicómano, generalmente joven, …
Philosophical problems in the theory of non-place: Marc Augé
2015
In recent decades, the theory of non-places has gained a wide recognition and esteem in the global journals. It is originally oriented to discuss the negative effects of postmodernism or hyper-mobilities in the real world. It was coined by French ethnologist Marc Auge. Although illustrative and pungent, Auge's argument should be seriously revisited. To what an extent a place can be called a non-place?, what are the specific condition for the non-places production? Auge explains his model respecting to three indicators, identity, conflict and tradition. Not only, our own fieldwork validated the belief that airports are spaces of conflict and identity, but we found serious ethical limitations…
Towards an Aesthetic of „Straniety” in Postmodern and Contemporary Dance
2021
Abstract The complicated physiognomy of dance in the XX-th and XXI-th century obviously exeedes the stable marks of „beauty” as an aesthetic category, by extending the limits of imaginary and techniques of artistic productions beyond any restraints. Both form and artistic expressions become suitable for specific interpretations, through the instruments and postmodern categories. The argumentation frequently refer to three moments of avantgardes, swiftly mentioning the reform’s beginings on the european artistic environment as a starting point, and underlying the Black Montain College phenomenon, and its consequences through the 80-ties and after. The fluctuations of artistic objectives are …
Consumers in postmodern society and alternative food networks: The organic food fairs case in Sicily
2012
New consumption habits stand out against the idea of a rational consumer, which is aimed at maximizing utility according to budget constraint. Presently, people have the tendency to behave differently according to various purchase opportunities; a significant role is played by both ethical sides and selfless motivations. These new trends fall within the context of a new social paradigm that foresees postmodern society’s rise. Consumers have the tendency to use the market as an arena in which political, ethical and environmental issues may arise, starting a new trend of an alternative consumption called “political consumerism”. In this paper we’ll try to understand how new consumption habits…

Alvis Hermanis: “To Be Everything and Nothing at All”
2021
This chapter is about the oeuvre of Alvis Hermanis, a Latvian stage and opera director and artistic leader of New Riga Theatre. It focuses on the road Hermanis took from the 1990s, as a young and rebellious postmodern director, into the second decade of the twenty-first century. In such productions as Long Life (2003), Inspector General (2006), The Sound of Silence (2007) and Brodsky/Barishnikov (2015), he approaches psychological theatre on a new, innovative level, exploring it as a kind of time machine in order to study people and history. In 2013, Hermanis entered the world of opera. In his productions including Alois Zimmerman’s Die Soldaten (2013), Leos Janacek’s Jenufa (2014) and so o…
Transformations Toward Mature Thinking: Challenges for Education and Learning
2012
In this chapter, adult cognitive development and its transformation are explored in the context of a rapidly changing postmodern world. This chapter presents and describes three models of adult cognitive development and their educational implications. The models presented are Basseches’ model of dialectical thinking, Kuhn’s model of epistemological development, and Baxter Magolda’s model of the development of self-authorship. These models are described in greater detail because they present advanced forms of adult cognitive development but also because of the challenge they pose to educational practices. These models open possibilities for understanding educational practices and learning es…
