Vallankäyttöä linssin edessä ja takana : visuaalinen etnografia ja kaksi tutkimusta Länsi-Afrikasta
2014
Visuaalinen materiaali on tärkeä osa etnografista tutkimusta ja tiedon tuottamista, mutta visuaalisen aineiston kerääminen etnografisin kenttätyömenetelmin ei ole yksiselitteistä. Mikä on visuaalisen etnografian merkitys etnologisessa tutkimuksessa ja mikä ohjaa visuaalisen aineiston keräämistä ja tuottamista? Millä tavalla videokameran käyttö kenttätyössä vaikuttaa kerätyn tiedon luonteeseen ja luotettavuuteen? Lähestymme aihetta kahden eri Länsi-Afrikassa toteutetun kenttätutkimuksen kautta ja kahdesta eri näkökulmasta: malilainen visuaaliantropologi keräämässä videoaineistoa etnografisia dokumenttifilmejä varten malilaisissa yhteisökouluissa ja suomalainen etnologi keräämässä haastattelu…

Piirtoheitinkalvosta Powerpointiksi : esitysgrafiikkaesitys genrenä
2013
Tutkielma tarkastelee esitysgrafiikkaohjelmilla tuotettuja esitysgrafiikkaesityksiä tekstinä ja tekstilajina. Tutkimuksen kannalta keskeisin kysymys on, miten esitysgrafiikkaesitys rakentuu genrenä tekstin makro- eli kokonaisrakenteen näkökulmasta ja millaisia funktionaalisia osia esitysgrafiikkaesityksestä on hahmotettavissa. Analysoin diaesitysten rakennetta sekä pyrin nimeämään ja erittelemään niitä osioita, joista esitysgrafiikkaesitykseksi nimetyt tekstit rakentuvat. Tutkielman aineistona on kaksi diaesitystä: yhtiön vuosikokouksen esitysgrafiikkaesitys ja yliopiston luennon oheismateriaali. Esitykset ovat varsin erilaiset niin funktionaalisesti, sisällöllisesti kuin ulkoisilta puittei…

WhatsApp iconology: narratives on in-app photographic practices in (transnational) family communication
2023
Sharing photographs and photo-chatting are common practices in doing family at a distance. This study looks at the processes of the production and circulation of photographs within the family network, analysing participants’ narratives about their image-based communication in WhatsApp. The data was collected as an ethnographic enquiry into the digitally mediated (transnational) family communication of five Polish women and their children living in Finland. It consists of five auto-driven visual elicitation interviews with an interactive collage, three elicitation interviews, with the participant’s smartphone used for fast reference to their in-app chats, and one semi-structured interview. T…
Effects of menu structure and touch screen scrolling style on the variability of glance durations during in-vehicle visual search tasks.
2011
The effects of alternative navigation device display features on drivers' visual sampling efficiency while searching forpoints of interest were studied in two driving simulation experiments with 40 participants. Given that the number of display items was sufficient, display features that facilitate resumption of visual search following interruptions were expected to lead to more consistent in-vehicle glance durations. As predicted, compared with a grid-style menu, searching information in a list-style menu while driving led to smaller variance in durations of in-vehicle glances, in particular with nine item displays. Kinetic touch screen scrolling induced a greater number of very short in-v…
A competent participant in the new media landscape: Promoting an interdisciplinary perspective
2016
Dynamic changes in media technology, society, media consumption and the economy affect the media landscape as well as the role and status of media users who are no longer passive receivers, but active media participants, and thus need to develop appropriate competence areas. We argue that using an interdisciplinary perspective within communication and journalism studies is necessary to address the scope of challenges that new media users are facing. Hence, we propose a palette of competence areas to be achieved, which would include intercultural communication, interpersonal communication and a basic knowledge of ethics, visual literacy, and source criticism abilities. While we understand th…
Audience experience of commercial videos and feature length films : are they universal or culturally mediated?
2017
Audiovisual contents constitute one of the most common ways of communicating information. However, audiovisual products are difficult to study because they integrate a lot of complex communication and artistic elements. Meaning and emotions are conveyed by combining film elements but also narrative elements, music and other audio aspects, which unfold over time and can be used to impact the audiences. Here, the user experience approach is taken to try to understand the relation between the video’s elements and the emotions produced in the audience. Emotions are understood within an appraisal framework where elements of the audiovisual format and content are integrated in memory with previou…
Interpretation of journalistic photographs as an instrument of visual literacy education
2016
Images are produced, used and distributed on an enormous scale. However, the skills of understanding, interpreting and using images as well as thinking and learning in terms of images are taken for granted, and thus, they are not sufficiently taught and developed, especially in higher education. The need for introducing visual literacy into the curriculum was identified in late 1960s, but no concrete guidelines have followed. This study proposes to apply interpretation of journalistic photographs as an instrument of visual literacy education. The main focus is on the image interpretation process and the kinds of meanings viewers apply to a photograph in the interpretation process. In each o…
