The organizational use of online stock photos: The impact of representing senior citizens as eternally youthful
2018
The digital divide due to age is declining quickly. But this does not necessarily mean that the willingness to use stock photos depicting older people accompanying digital information is the same among all senior citizens. Three research questions are at the core of this paper: (1) To which extent can various senior citizens (women and men, younger old and older old, living alone or together, full of vitality or fragile) identify with online stock photos of older people accompanying information about pensions, income, health and housing?, (2) Which are the connotations of the visual signs used in such stock photos? and (3) What are the policy implications for organizations aiming at offerin…

The Many Faces of Turku : An Essayistic Study of Urban Travel
2020
What does it mean to take a photographic, imaginary, or fictional journey to some destination? How does indirect observation of the object differ from direct observation? What are they like, the immediate and the mediated Turku? Which of them is more real or more authentic? Turku is Finland’s most poetic city. It is also the most European of our cities. As the flâneur saunters along the banks of the River Aura, he traverses several centuries. The murmur of yesteryear is to be heard in the old buildings and in the foliage of the time-honoured trees. Here is the cradle, the first home of Finnish civilization. The philosopher-poet is able to see into the essence of a city: he has the patience …
Valokuvaus kuvataiteilijan apuvälineenä : Tampereen ensimmäinen ammattitaiteilija Kaarlo Vuori (1863-1914) muotokuvamaalarina ja valokuvaajana
2017
Pro gradussa tarkastellaan valokuvien käyttöä taiteilijoiden apuna. Tutkimuksessa kerrotaan myös valokuvauksen historiasta sekä annetaan esimerkkejä siitä, miten suomalaiset taiteilijat suhtautuivat valokuvauksen tuomiin etuihin taideteosten sommittelussa. Lisäksi selvitetään, miten yleistä valokuvien hyödyntäminen taiteen teossa on ollut. Tutkimuksen keskeinen kohdehenkilö on Tampereen ensimmäinen ammattitaiteilija Kaarlo Vuori. Tutkimus on rajattu pääasiassa Vuoren maalaamiin muotokuviin sekä hänen ottamiinsa valokuviin. Valokuvien ja muotokuvamaalauksien yhtäläisyyksiä ja eroja tarkastellaan käyttämällä muodon ja visuaalisten yksityiskohtien vertailevaa analyysiä. Tutkielmassa tuodaan es…

This is not a manipulation : authentic bodies in digital image
2014
Tämä kaksiosainen tutkimus rakentaa ensimmäisessä osassa teoreettista välineistöä digitaalisen valokuvan ja autenttisen ruumiin käsittelemiseen yhdistämällä Michell Foucaultin ja Judith Butlerin ajatuksia. Toisessa osassa tätä välineistöä sovelletaan Intelligent Life lehden kansikuvaa käsittelevään tapaustutkimukseen, jossa kansikuvan alleviivattua digitaalista muokkaamattomutta käsitellään performatiivisen autenttisuuden näkökulmasta. Autenttisen määrittelemisen ja käytön kontrolli on tutkimuksen keskeinen teema. Foucault ja Butler yhdistyvät näkemykseksi, jonka mukaan autenttinen rakentuu teoista jotka performoivat autenttista. Autenttisen ja epäautenttisen välisen rajan hämärtäminen digi…
Tale(s) of a forest – re-creation of a primeval forest in three environmental narratives
2020
We analyze three environmentally conscious works that are concerned with the state of Finnish forests: the documentary film Metsän tarina/Tale of a Forest (2012), the book with the same name (2013) and the series of short documentaries Tarinoita metsästä/Tales from the Forest (2013). By combining methods from arts research and ecology, we ask how the narratives adapt material from nature photography. The film and book present mythic stories and old Finnish beliefs about forests. They also contain references to cultural memory. Additionally, the biodiversity on display reflects a conventional practice to exhibit large or charismatic species. However, the ecological message remains only impli…
The Waves of Time Revisited : Glimpses of life
2022
This study could perhaps be characterized as the art of walking in time, verbally, pictorially and abstractly, i.e. using words, images and thoughts. Of course, the ideal of essayism also includes a scientific dimension. Equally the aim is to make multi-level use of the idea of dialogue. At the same time, the writer is also carrying on a monologue (with himself), an aspect that is called dialogic monologue. After all, the respondent, too, is himself the questioner. Architecture and the essay are reminiscent of each other. The created building and the created word are close relatives. An essayistic study signifies a hermetic state of language. A text’s inner verbal room is constructed from a…

Participant-induced elicitation in digital environments
2020
This chapter discusses participant-induced elicitation interview (PIE) in the light of two fieldwork cases focusing on Finnish lifestyle blogging and older adults as ICT users. By definition, elicitation refers to a process where something, such as a response, meaning, or answer, is evoked in or drawn out from an interviewee. PIE is based on photo-elicitation, where the interviewee is asked to take photographs dealing with the topics of the research. The central idea of PIE as participant-induced elicitation is based on the active agency of the person collaborating with the researcher. Under the premises of the research, the interviewee creates something subjective and personal that can be …
