"En vain kyennyt liikkumaan" : lamaantumiskokemuksen fenomenologia seksuaalisessa väkivallassa
2019
Kansalaisaloite raiskauslainsäädännön muuttamisesta suostumusperustaiseksi on edennyt eduskuntaan, ja lainmuutoksen valmisteleminen on kirjattu myös nykyiseen hallitusohjelmaan. Nykylainsäädännön ongelmana on, että raiskaus määritellään muun väkivallan ja sen uhan tai raiskauksen kohteeksi joutuneen tiedottomuuden perusteella. Useissa tutkimuksissa on kuitenkin todettu, että lamaantuminen teon aikana on erittäin yleistä eikä reaktioon välttämättä kuulu tietoisuuden menettämistä. Lamaantumiseen liittyviä fyysisiä tekijöitä ja tuntemuksia on käsitelty haastattelututkimuksissa, mutta jos tahdosta riippumatonta liikkumattomuutta halutaan ymmärtää paremmin kehollisena, moninaisiin tunteisiin ja …
Bodily Practices in Action Formation and Ascription in Multilingual Interaction: Introduction to the Special Issue.
2022
This special issue brings together empirical studies that investigate how bodily practices feature in action formation and action ascription in multilingual interaction (Schegloff, 2007; Levinson, 2013). Grounded in video-based conversation analysis and drawing on data from diverse sociomaterial settings, the articles investigate the contingent interactional processes through which speakers from different language backgrounds accomplish actions and achieve intersubjectivity. They demonstrate how specific constellations of linguistic resources, bodily conduct, spatial configurations, and material ecology are built into accomplishment of actions at different levels of interactional organizati…
Bodily obsessions : intrusiveness of organs in somatic obsessive–compulsive disorder
2022
AbstractIn this paper, I will provide a phenomenological analysis of somatic obsessions at times present in obsessive–compulsive disorder. I will compare two different types of bodily obsessions, which have a different neurological-physiological underpinning: anguishing awareness of one’s own heartbeat and of one’s own breathing. In addition, I will contrast these two with how one experiences one’s own liver. I will use the concepts "tactility obsessions” and "motility obsessions”, which I have coined for the purpose of this comparison. In other words, these are obsessions concerning the felt sense of one’s autonomous organs and obsessions concerning one’s ability to voluntarily move. Ultim…
Exercising exclusions: Space, visibility, and monitoring of the exercising fat female body
2019
The author’s aim is to inspect the position of the fat (female) body in the field of exercise. Specifically, the author is interested in fat women’s experiences of their treatment while exercising in public, and argues that, in particular, public spaces for exercise, such as gyms and swimming pools, are currently discursively and concretely constructed as “exclusive” spaces for the normative bodied. Bodies that are deemed non-normative, such as fat bodies, are often made either invisible or intolerable in the discourse of physical activity and exercise. Consequently, public spaces for exercise such as gyms or swimming pools are seen as out of bounds for non-normative bodies and this is refl…
Phantom/liminal fat and feminist theories of the body
2017
This article brings together two concepts, ‘phantom fat’ and ‘liminal fat’, which both aim to grasp how fat in contemporary culture becomes a kind of material immateriality, corporeality in suspension. Comparing the spheres of representation and experience, we examine the challenges and usefulness of these concepts, and feminist fat studies perspectives more broadly, to feminist scholarship on the body. We ask what connects and disconnects fat corporeality and fat studies from ways of theorising other embodied differences, like gender, ‘race’, disability, class and sexuality, especially when thinking through their perceived mutability or removability, and assumptions about their relevance …

Techno-human : expedition of altered human by technology from science-fiction cinema to the post-industrial world
2011
This thesis defines techno-human as a new notion to describe altered human body and identity by technology following its expedition from the fictional world of science-fiction cinema to non-fictional world of post-industrial society. Science-fiction cinema has always significant role as an art form to define and discuss the future of interaction between human and technology. In 1993, Scott Bukatman has studied this reformed human figure in SF cinema with the notion of terminal body and identity, after ten years, Giuseppe O. Longo (2003) use the term homo-technologicus define the human being of the 21st Century. In addition, today, almost ten years later than Longo, combining the study of Bu…
Sense experience and differentiation : Husserl on bodily awareness
2023
This article outlines the basic ingredients of Husserl’s theory of bodily awareness. It first analyses the concepts of hyletic and kinesthetic sensibility, and illustrates the interwovenness and equiprimordiality of Me and not-Me in Husserl’s account. Second, it shows how the concept of the lived body emerges from this complex sensible foundation. Thirdly, it argues that, as the area of intersection between the Me and the not-Me, bodily awareness is the initial locus of differentiation between Me and not-Me: an area where the experiential distinction between the Me and the not-Me is constantly negotiated. peerReviewed
