The Phantasmatic Core of Fascism: Psychoanalytic Theories of Antisemitism and Group Aggression Amongst the ‘Political Freudians’
2022
The period predating and overlapping with World War II saw psychoanalytic authors respond to the authoritarian and fascist developments in Europe through scholarly and analytical writings. These authors, sometimes referenced as ‘political Freudians’, were interested in bringing psychoanalysis in a dialogue with progressive social and pedagogical movements of their times, focusing their critique on the persecutory, eliminatory and purificatory fantasies, which they saw as animating the fascistic movements in Europe. This article analyses selected texts by Otto Fenichel, Ernst Simmel and Rudolf Loewenstein and argues that these authors asked about the political and ethical stakes of the fasci…

Mobile media, gender, and power in rural India
2019
This article traces the diffuse connections between mobility and power by exploring how mobile phone use contributed to gendered power relations in rural India. It is based on ethnographic fieldwork on the use of mobile phones, conducted periodically between 2005 and 2013 in the village of Janta in West Bengal, India, and compared to earlier fieldwork in Janta, before the village had any phone system. Analysis of the increased mobility reveals how mobile phone use emerges within interconnected, changing fields of power. The political sphere earlier perceived as predominantly local was replaced by translocal political practices characterized by increasing mobility. Although new political pra…
The micro-politics of parliamentary powers : European parliament strategies for expanding its influence in the EU institutional system
2018
The European Parliament (EP) has gained considerable new powers since it was first established in 1952. Why has this happened, and how should the powers the EP possesses be assessed? This article suggests a novel approach that focuses on inter-institutional micropolitics and the processes in which the EP obtained its powers rather than treaty changes at IGCs. Interinstitutional micropolitics are carried out by institutions and their members who act politically and shape the EU’s system from within. The EP’s successes in interinstitutional micropolitics are shaped by (1) its existing powers that need to be assessed in their differentiation; (2) the interparliamentary setting and the power co…
Victims at the Central African Republic's Special Criminal Court
2021
The Central African Republic's Special Criminal Court (SCC), the latest hybrid criminal tribunal, may be considered an important legal development concerning victims of mass atrocities in international criminal justice mechanisms due to certain characteristics. Yet there is no academic commentary on victims at the SCC; this piece seeks to fill the gap. First it considers restorative justice as a general framework for victims’ roles and rights in criminal justice in contexts of mass atrocities. Second, victim matters at the SCC are examined: victim protection, victims as civil parties, and reparations. Overall, this paper argues that provisions on victims’ roles and rights contained in SCC i…
Maagiset hiukset ja valta Sofi Oksasen Normassa
2017
Tarkastelen Sofi Oksasen (2015) romaanissa Norma olevia maagisia hiuksia sekä niiden kytköksiä vallankäyttöön. Lähestyn valtaa teemana, joka ilmenee romaanin hiusmotiivin yhteydessä. Tutkimukseni teoriataustana toimii yhdistelmä feminististä ja psykoanalyyttista kirjallisuudentutkimusta, joiden lisäksi hyödynnän maagisen realismin lajiteoriaa sekä narratologiaa.
Pohjoismaisen Vastarintaliikkeen kieltäminen ja sen seuraukset
2020
Kansallissosialistisen Pohjoismaisen Vastarintaliikkeen toiminta on kielletty Suomessa. Järjestö vaikuttaa reagoineen kieltoon perustamalla uusia ryhmiä sekä hajauttamalla toimintaansa. Tulevan kehityksen kannalta merkityksellistä on, millaisia johtopäätöksiä viranomaiset tekevät järjestön kieltämisestä, sekä miten he reagoivat mahdollisiin yrityksiin jatkaa järjestön toimintaa. nonPeerReviewed
