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 …

Dialogeja, paikkoja, tiloja ja tilanteita : ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival kohtaamisten mahdollistajana

2019

ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival on kansainvälinen aika- ja paikkasidonnaisen nykytaiteen festivaali Kuopiossa. Festivaali syntyi vuonna 2002 aktivoimaan kaupunkitiloja taideteosten avulla. Alkuperäisestä 12 teospaikan rakenteesta festivaali on muuttunut sosiaalisempaan ja dialogisempaan suuntaan reflektoiden toisaalta taiteen sosiaalista käännettä ja toisaalta aktiivisen kulttuurisen osallistumisen käytäntöjä. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelen taiteen sosiaalisuutta ja osallistumisen mahdollisuuksia ANTI-festivaalilla ja pohdin niiden merkityksiä yleisöille ja kaupungille. Aineistona ovat pro gradu -tutkielmani haastatteluaineisto vuodelta 2012 sekä tulevaa väitöskirjaani varten tehtyjä uuden…

Subjectivity of a teacher and his/her competence in the context of contemporary cyvilizing changes

2014

The subject of the reflections set out in this article are the issues relating to the subjectivity of a teacher and his competence in the face of civilizing changes. As the title suggests, the study deals with the diversified division of competences both of contemporary man and the teacher. Professional training of educators should include both a grounding in theory and assertions on the subject of man’s development, processes of “finding one’s place” naturally in the world, process educating man with a defined goal (education and upbringing) and processes of his socialization (collectivisation - full time employment - nationalization - politicization - globalization).

SMS Messages in a Daily Finnish Newspaper : The Contect of Proverb Performances

2016

The article focuses on Finnish proverbs as a part of contemporary colloquial written language in everyday use and context. The article offers a view on what is happening with proverbs in the vernacular in Finnish everyday life. Most traditional Finnish proverbs originate from an agrarian context and still use agrarian language, even if nowadays they live in a new context with a new meaning. As empirical material this article uses a special case that demonstrates the use of proverbs in one Finnish newspaper: proverbs in SMS messages published as a letter to the editor in a newspaper. peerReviewed

Introduzione al volume Crescere/Svilupparsi

2020

Complessivamente 12 sono i saggi che compongono questa raccolta dedicata alla riflessione antica e moderna sulla crescita e sviluppo delle forme di vita. Ogni saggio rappresenta un vero e proprio viaggio che attraversa diverse regioni del sapere: i classici antichi, greci e latini, sono in effetti quantitativamente predominanti, e questo a ragione dei prevalenti interessi scientifici dei curatori, i quali però si sono ben guardati dall’isolare il ‘classico’ nella sua idiosincratica prospettiva ante litteram, ma hanno cercato e trovato la collaborazione con altri settori della ricerca scientifica. Il che si traduce nella partecipazione al progetto editoriale e scientifico anche di antropolog…

Współczesna metropolia: tożsamość i formy bycia razem jej mieszkańców

2018

The following paper examines the Baumanian “forms of togethernes” in the space of the contemporary metropolis, both in the West (Europe, the USA), and the developing world (China). Zygmunt Bauman understands togetherness as a totality of interhuman actions, occurring in the city space. Paradoxically, the contemporary metropolis which often seems hostile towards traditional bourgeois urban life opens up new possibilities of mutual relations between contemporary citizens. The space in the contemporary city is neither fully artificial, nor natural, but it merges some features of both. Although its infrastructure is governed by effectiveness of molecular capitalism, it is not fully predicable i…
