The focus of this discourse analytical study was to review the meanings which prison education and its participants are given in the formal educational policy and to find out whether these meanings are agreed by the prison students. The intrestes of this thesis were to examine what kind of social and individual promises are related to the prison education and what kind of subject positions are possible to the prison students. The thesis was also interested in the meanings of education in different contexts. The aim of this study was to examine prison education especially for women. This thesis was based on Michel Foucault s ideas of power and the view of this study was directly critical. The prison education was seen as normalizing governance which tends to prepare its subjects to the normal. In this process of differentiating the normal and the abnormal the subjects of prison education are reconstructed as the others . The three research questions of this thesis were: how and what kind of prison education is reconstructed firstly in the strategy of prison education and secondly in the interviews. Thirdly it was questioned how and what kind of meanings gender receive in the discourse of prison education. The main data was consisted by the Finnish Criminal Sanctions Agency s document The Strategy of the Prison education for years 2008 2012 and the three interviews of women who participated to prison education. The interviews were made for this thesis in Autumn 2010. Two other Finnish Criminal Sanctions Agency s documents Prisoners in education (2007) and Visible women (2008) - the report of the working group on female prisoners were also used as subtext materials. The methods of critical and realistic discourse analysis and rhetorical analysis were applied in the analysis. The results of the thesis support the outlook of prison education as a form of normalizing governance which reconstruct the others position for the prison students. Prison education was seen supportive for personal life control and for integrating to the society. The participants of prison education repeated the official discourses in their accounts which is a signal of internalized governance. The interviewees also used different types of anti-discourses when forming implications of prison education.

Avhandlingen kartlägger användandet av metaforer i ekonomijournalistik då den globala ekonomikrisen anlände till Finland under hösten 2008. Syftet med den här kvalitativa forskningen är inte bara att presentera olika metaforer utan också påvisa att metaforer bildar större helheter. Med hjälp av en metaforanalys redogör denna studie vilka metaforer förekom i ekonominyheter och hur de reflekterar ekonomikrisen och den verklighet vi lever i. Forskningen presenterar också deltagarna i ekonomikrisdiskussionen och diskuterar deras position i samhället i förhållande till maktfrågan. Den tredelning av metaforer som Lakoff och Johnson presenterar i sin bok Metaphors we live by (1980) ligger till grund för den här undersökningen. I den här forskningen delas metaforer enligt den kognitiva metaforteorin till tre större grupper; strukturella, ontologiska och orientationella metaforer. Användning av metaforer i undersökta artiklar var rikligt och den största gruppen utgjordes av strukturella metaforer. Mest förekom krigs-, spel-, sjukdoms- och naturmetaforer. Den största gruppen var krigsmetaforer vilka tillsammans med spelmetaforer användes mest i början av rapporteringen om den ekonomiska recessionen. Färg- och religionsmetaforer förekom också om än i ett mindre antal. Ontologiska metaforer förekom i form av personifiering. Bland annat var marknad och börs de fenomen som fick personliga drag då de var i panik, reagerade föll eller sov. Av de orientationella metaforer var horisontella upp-ner -metaforer vanligare än de vertikala fram-bak -metaforerna. Denna studie visar att de metaforer som journalisterna använde i sina artiklar bildade större helheter. Med hjälp av dessa metaforer ville man förtydliga att den ekonomiska recessionen ansågs vara en överraskning, speciellt för makthavare och ekonomiexperter. Krisen slog till i Finland överraskande och med en mycket stark volym och osäkerheten om framtiden förstärktes med metaforanvändandet. Avhandlingen har också ett samhälleligt perspektiv. I den undersöks deltagarna i ekonomikrisdiskussionen samt deras position i samhället. Forskningsresultatet är relaterat till maktfrågan med stöd av maktforskarna Michel Foucault och Ilkka Ruostetsaari. I dagens samhälle och globala värld har ekonomins makt bara ökat. Analysen av det empiriska materialet visar att näringslivet dominerade debatten och därmed hör det till makteliten. Alla diskussionsdeltagare använder metaforer, dock används de kraftigaste metaforerna av journalister.

The modern subject is what we can call a self-subjecting individual. This is someone in whose inner reality has been implanted a more permanent governability, a governability that works inside the agent. Michel Foucault s genealogy of the modern subject is the history of its constitution by power practices. By a flight of imagination, suppose that this history is not an evolving social structure or cultural phenomenon, but one of those insects (moth) whose life cycle consists of three stages or moments: crawling larva, encapsulated pupa, and flying adult. Foucault s history of power-practices presents the same kind of miracle of total metamorphosis. The main forces in the general field of power can be apprehended through a generalisation of three rationalities functioning side-by-side in the plurality of different practices of power: domination, normalisation and the law. Domination is a force functioning by the rationality of reason of state: the state s essence is power, power is firm domination over people, and people are the state s resource by which the state s strength is measured. Normalisation is a force that takes hold on people from the inside of society: it imposes society s own reality its empirical verity as a norm on people through silently working jurisdictional operations that exclude pathological individuals too far from the average of the population as a whole. The law is a counterforce to both domination and normalisation. Accounting for elements of legal practice as omnihistorical is not possible without a view of the general field of power. Without this view, and only in terms of the operations and tactical manoeuvres of the practice of law, nothing of the kind can be seen: the only thing that practice manifests is constant change itself. However, the backdrop of law s tacit dimension that is, the power-relations between law, domination and normalisation allows one to see more. In the general field of power, the function of law is exactly to maintain the constant possibility of change. Whereas domination and normalisation would stabilise society, the law makes it move. The European individual has a reality as a problem. What is a problem? A problem is something that allows entry into the field of thought, said Foucault. To be a problem, it is necessary for certain number of factors to have made it uncertain, to have made it lose familiarity, or to have provoked a certain number of difficulties around it . Entering the field of thought through problematisations of the European individual human forms, power and knowledge one is able to glimpse the historical backgrounds of our present being. These were produced, and then again buried, in intersections between practices of power and games of truth. In the problem of the European individual one has suitable circumstances that bring to light forces that have passed through the individual through centuries.

This dissertation inquires into the relationship between gender and biopolitics. Biopolitics, according to Michel Foucault, is the mode of politics that is situated and exercised at the level of life. The dissertation claims that gender is a technology of biopower specific to the optimisation of the sexual reproduction of human life, deployed through the scientific and governmental problematisation of declining fertility rates in the mid-twentieth century. Just as Michel Foucault claimed that sexuality became a scientific and political discourse in the nineteenth century, gender has also since emerged in these fields. In this dissertation, gender is treated as neither a representation of sex nor a cultural construct or category of identity. Rather, a genealogy of gender as an apparatus of biopower in conducted. It demonstrates how scientific and theoretical developments in the twentieth century marshalled gender into the sex/sexuality apparatus as a new technology of liberal biopower. Gender, I argue, has become necessary for the Western liberal order to recapture and re-optimise the life-producing functions of sex that reproduce the very object of biopolitics: life. The concept of the life function is introduced to analyse the life-producing violence of the sex/sexuality/gender apparatus. To do this, the thesis rereads the work of Michel Foucault through Gilles Deleuze for a deeper grasp of the material strategies of biopower and how it produces categories of difference and divides population according to them. The work of Judith Butler, in turn, is used as a foil against which to rearticulate the question of how to examine gender genealogically and biopolitically. The dissertation then executes a genealogy of gender, tracing the changing rationalities of sex/sexuality/gender from early feminist thought, through mid-twentieth century sexological, feminist, and demographic research, to current EU policy. According to this genealogy, in the mid-twentieth century demographers perceived that sexuality/sex, which Foucault observed as the life-producing biopolitical apparatus, was no longer sufficiently disciplining human bodies to reproduce. The life function was escaping the grasp of biopower. The analysis demonstrates how gender theory was taken up as a means of reterritorialising the life function: nature would be disciplined to reproduce by controlling culture. The crucial theoretical and genealogical argument of the thesis, that gender is a discourse with biopolitical foundations and a technology of biopower, radically challenges the premises of gender theory and feminist politics, as well as the emancipatory potential often granted to the gender concept. The project asks what gender means, what biopolitical function it performs, and what is at stake for feminist politics when it engages with it. In so doing, it identifies biopolitics and the problem of life as possibly the most urgent arena for feminist politics today.

Tässä pro gradu -tutkimuksessa tutkin kätilötyön rakentumista Suomessa vuosina 1879 - 1920 Hämeenlinnan lääkäripiirin näkökulmasta. Analysoin vuoden 1879 kätilöohjesäännön tuomien muutosten sekä valtion organisaatioiden, lääkäreiden ja kunnallistason määräysten merkitystä kätilötoiminnalle ja kätilöille. Tutkimuksen ajallinen rajaus, 1879 - 1920, juontuu Keisarillisen Majesteetin vuonna 1879 antamasta kätilöohjesäännöstä, joka oli toimintaa ohjaavana lainsäädäntönä voimassa vuoteen 1920. Tutkin tässä työssä kätilötyötä kahdessa tasossa, mikrohistoriallisesti ja yleisellä tasolla. Tutkimusmenetelmänä sovellan kvalitatiivista ja kvantitatiivista menetelmää. Tutkimuksen teoreettisena kehyksenä toimii soveltavin osin Michel Foucault'n teoria biovallasta. Kätilöiden puutteeseen maalaiskunnissa oli pyritty vaikuttamaan vuoden 1859 kätilöohjesäännöllä. Käytännön muutoksia ei tapahtunut ja vuonna 1879 hyväksyttiin uusi kätilöohjesääntö. Uusi ohjesääntö oli valtion hallinnon ja lääkäreiden yhteistoiminnan tulos. Sen sanoma oli ohjaavaa, mutta ei pakottavaa. Lakiuudistuksella pyrittiin vaikuttamaan kuntiin ja kuntien kautta kansalaisten toimintaan. Haluttiin muokata ihmisten käyttäytymistapoja normalisoimalla kätilöhoitoinen synnytys. Kätilöohjesäännön voimaantulo ja vuodet 1879 - 1920 voidaan nähdä käännekohtana kätilötyössä. Tutkimusperiodin aikana kätilötyö alkoi saada itsenäisen ammattikunnan piirteitä selvemmin. Rahan rooli oli monessa suhteessa merkittävä, sillä elatuksen lisäksi raha vaikutti kätilön asemaan ja arvostukseen. Kunnan päättäjät olivat merkittävässä valtaapitävässä asemassa, koska heillä oli päätösvalta kätilön palkkaamisessa ja työn ehdoissa. Kunnissa, joissa kätilöä arvostettiin, maksettiin paremmin ja kuntalaiset tukeutuivat koulutettuun apuun enemmän. Tutkimusaikana kätilöiden olosuhteet kunnissa olivat haasteelliset eikä laki rajoittanut synnytyksen avustajaa, joten kätilöhoitoisissa synnytyksissä tapahtunut kasvu oli kätilöiden melko pyytettömän työn tulosta. Haluttiin muutakin kun käyttää valtaa.

Tutkielmassa esitellään kolmen orkesteriviulistin kokemuksia ja käsityksiä omasta ruumiillisuudestaan muusikon työssään. Muusikkolähtöisyys, laajemmin tarkasteltuna tekijälähtöinen tutkimus, on nykyisin yhä tärkeämpi osa musiikintutkimusta. Muusikkolähtöistä tutkimusta on Suomessakin kirjoitettu jonkin verran, harvoin kuitenkaan ruumiillisuusteeman kautta. Haastatellut viulistit ovat pääkaupunkiseudun suurista orkestereista. Muusikon työtä voidaan tarkastella monista eri lähtökohdista. Tässä työssä pyritään ottamaan huomioon ihmisen oma kokemus ja ruumiillinen sidos maailmaan, ja näin se sitoutuu fenomenologisiin lähtökohtiin, erityisesti Maurice Merleau-Pontyn ajatteluun. Michel Foucault ja Elizabeth Grosz edustavat tämän työn kannalta sitä ajattelutapaa, jonka hengessä pidän muusikon työtä historiallisesti rakentuneena ja muutoksenalaisena prosessina. Groszin teoretisointi keskittyy subjektin ruumiillisuuteen ja tapoihin käsitteellistää ruumis länsimaisessa ajattelussa. Haastattelumateriaali jakaantuu kahteen päälukuun. Ensimmäisessä käsitellään soittajien omaa yksityistä tilaa. Harjoittelun oma tila liittyy ruumiillisuuteen sikäli, että ruumiillinen toistotyö ja viulistisen identiteetin muotoutuminen tapahtuu pitkälti yksityisesti, tietoisena julkisen tilan vaatimuksista. Orkesteriviulistien sosiaaliseen tilaan liittyy toisaalta vuorovaikutus muiden muusikoiden kanssa harjoituksissa ja toisaalta muusikoiden ja yleisön kohtaaminen konserteissa. Sosiaaliseen tilaan liittyviä ruumiillisuuteen kytkeytyviä ilmiöitä käsitellään erillään, toisessa analyysiluvussa. Tutkielma tuo esiin välähdyksiä erilaisista ruumiillisuuteen ja viulunsoittoon kytkeytyvistä ilmiöistä. Kvalitatiivisen ja fenomenologisen tutkimuksen hengessä haastateltujen erilaiset kokemukset on pyritty esittelemään pyrkimättä universalisoimaan niitä. Haastattelumateriaali osoittaa viulistisen ruumiillisuuden liittyvän merkittävällä tavalla muusikkojen käsityksiin itsestään. Haastateltujen kokemukset tuovat lisää tietoa orkesteriviulistin työstä.

It is often maintained that the Prohibition Act (in force from 1 June 1919 to 5 April 1932) still influences both the Finnish alcohol policy and notions about alcohol. This study focuses on the development of women s opinions concerning Prohibition in Finland. What role did the formulation and expression of women s opinions and women's actions play in the final outcome of the Prohibition Act? What do the debate on Prohibition and women s activities for and against the legislation tell us about the status and possibilities of women to exert influence in the Finnish society of the Prohibition era? Women s opinions are particularly interesting since they deviated radically from what has generally been assumed. It was expected that the referendum of 1931 would result in a resounding vote of 100% in favour of Prohibition, but the outcome was a majority vote against it. Over 65% of the women who cast their vote in the referendum wanted a full repeal of Prohibition. The study approaches the history of Prohibition by combining methods and theories of the history of mentalities and social history with gender history. Women are examined as a heterogeneous group with dissimilar objectives and differing ways of acting and thinking. The research material consists of press materials, archival materials from organisations, personal materials and statistics from the Prohibition period. Both discourses and practices are examined; the object of the research is best described by Michel Foucault's concept of dispositif. When participating in the public debate on Prohibition, women based their right to express their opinions and take part in action on an ideological continuum spanning a hundred years, according to which home and family were central areas of women s interest. This idea was linked to questions of morality and social policy. On the other hand, women presented themselves as working taxpayers, voters and equal citizens. The most crucial issue in women's discussions was whether Prohibition improved or worsened the temperance of fathers, husbands and sons. The dichotomies town dweller - countryside dweller, Swedish-speaking Finnish-speaking, and middle class - working class were highly significant backgrounds both as factors dividing women and in public discussions regarding Prohibition. The 1931 referendum showed that the lines of demarcation drawn during the preceding debate did not materialise in political action in line with these dichotomies: the dispositif did not correspond to the discourse. Contrary to what was expressed in public, a great number of women among the labour and rural classes, among inland inhabitants and among Finnish-speakers were also against Prohibition. The media and organisations defended temperance and Prohibition almost until the end of the Prohibition era. This discourse was in conflict with the discourse of everyday conversations and practices in which alcohol was present.

Aims. In this work we search for the signatures of low-dimensional chaos in the temporal behavior of the Kepler-field blazar W2R 1946+42. Methods. We use a publicly available, similar to 160 000-point-long and mostly equally spaced light curve of W2R 1946+42. We apply the correlation integral method to both real datasets and phase randomized surrogates. Results. We are not able to confirm the presence of low-dimensional chaos in the light curve. This result, however, still leads to some important implications for blazar emission mechanisms, which are discussed.

Resumen: El presente trabajo rastrea algunos aspectos de la fenomenología de la vida de Michel Henry en la doctrina de san Agustín. Recorre distintos caminos: de la scientia agustiniana al aparecer/saber, del verbum a la palabra, del cogitare al pensamiento, de la notitia amata a la auto-afección. En la conclusión, retoma la distinción del Obispo de Hipona entre scientia y sapientia como punto de partida para una reflexión sobre la posibilidad de la metafísica.

El contenido del presente artículo surge de la necesidad de reconstruir los recorridos y continuos desplazamientos que fueron forjando el itinerario intelectual de Michel de Certeau a fin de poder captar el “estilo” de sus propias “prácticas intelectuales”. Siguiendo a Luce Giard, distinguimos tres etapas de duración desigual, en el itinerario de Michel de Certeau: 1) el tiempo de los cimientos, consagrado a la historia de la espiritualidad y de la Compañía hasta 1968; 2) el tiempo de sacudida y ampliación de su proyecto intelectual entre 1968 y 1974; 3) el tiempo de plenitud entre 1975 y el fin de 1985. Nos centramos, en esta ocasión, en la presentación de las dos primeras etapas, dejando para posteriores desarrollos la tercera etapa. Cerramos el artículo con la discusión en torno a la pertinencia del título ciertamente provocador del artículo de E. Roudinesco: “Michel de Certeau, iconoclasta esclarecido”.
