Rearticulating the idea of manosphere. Whatsapp groups as digital idioculture
2021
This paper rearticulates the definition of the manosphere by considering everyday male digital media practices as part of a series of peripheral manospheres, connected, often without a clear reference, with the more articulated galaxy that makes up what we now call the manosphere (Ging 2019). The work focuses on homosocial practices between adolescents (Flood 2008) and how they perform and create masculinity (Mac an Ghaill 1994; Frosh, Phoenix & Pattman 2002) inside private WhatsApp groups composed of (heterosexual) guys.

2019
En el presente trabajo se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de la atenuación pragmática a partir del análisis de un corpus de muestras escritas que recogen una actividad de simulación o role-playpropuesta a estudiantes adolescentes (15-18 años): la escritura de un WhatsApp en la que se rechaza una invitación.

Virtuaalisesti läsnä : perheen merkitysten rakentuminen WhatsApp-perheryhmässä
2018
Tarkastelen tutkielmassani perheensisäistä viestintää WhatsApp-pikaviestipalvelun perheryhmässä. Kuvaan ryhmän viestintää ja pohdin, mitä ryhmä jäsenilleen merkitsee ja miten perheen merkitykset ryhmässä rakentuvat. Teoreettisesti lähden ajatuksesta, että perheensisäinen viestintä on arkinen käytäntö, ja että perhe muodostuu juuri arkisissa käytännöissä. Sovellan tutkimuksessa Shoven, Pantzarin ja Watsonin (2012) kehittämää käytäntöteoriaa. Sen mukaan käytännöt rakentuvat materiaalista, kompetenssista sekä merkityksistä ja käytännöstä voi muodostua elinvoimainen, jos se palkitsee käyttäjäänsä sisäisesti, jos sillä on yhteys tai juuria muihin käytäntöihin ja jos se liittyy käyttäjälleen merk…
What’s in the family app? : Making sense of digitally mediated communication within multilingual families
2020
Communication within contemporary families is increasingly and to a significant extent mediated through technological devices and digital applications. Although the everyday reality of many multilingual families is permeated by technology, research on their digital and language practices has been scant. This article argues for the need for eclectic approaches that draw upon theories, practices, and findings from research on transnational families and migration, digitally mediated family communication, parental mediation, multilingualism online, and family multilingualism and language transmission. Two empirical case studies are presented on multilingual family constellations in Finland in w…
