Euroopan unioni – ”yksi perhe”? Eurooppalaisen identiteetin diskursiivinen rakentuminen EU:n ”Muuttuva Eurooppa”- esitteissä

Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan eurooppalaisen identiteetin diskursiivista rakentumista Euroopan komission laatimissa EU:n toimintaa käsittelevissä esitteissä. Esitteet nähdään tutkimuksessa osana Euroopan unionin identiteettipolitiikkaa, jonka tarkoituksena on luoda yhteisölle kollektiivinen identiteetti legitimoimaan unionin toimintaa ja yhteisön integraatiota. Tarkastelun keskiössä on komission kansalaisille suuntaama kuva eurooppalaisesta identiteetistä: mitä merkityksiä komissio eurooppalaiselle identiteetille esitteissä antaa ja miten näitä merkityksiä konstruoidaan. Tutkimuksessa nostetaan esille myös eurooppalaisen identiteetin konstruoimisprojektin yhteydet kansallisen identiteetin projektiin vertailemalla tutkimustuloksia kahden kollektiivisen identiteetin luonnetta kuvaavan mallin valossa. Lisäksi tarkastelun kohteena on identiteetin yhteys unionin toiminnan legitimointiin. Tutkimuksen lähtökohtana toimii konstruktivistinen käsitys kollektiivisista identiteeteistä. Merkittävimpiä lähteitä tutkielman teoreettisen viitekehyksen osalta ovat Lars-Erik Cedermanin ja Jeffrey T. Checkelin konstruktivismia koskeva tuotanto. Myös Theodora Kostakopouloun ja Anthony Smithin käsitykset kollektiivisen identiteetin rakentumisesta toimivat tutkimuksessa olennaisessa roolissa. Identiteettejä tarkastellaan tutkimuksessa muokattavina ja liikkuvina kielellisinä konstruktioina, mistä johtuen tutkimuksen metodologisena lähestymistapana on diskurssianalyysi. Aineistossa eurooppalaisesta identiteetistä piirtyy kuva EU:n ohjaamana projektina. Eurooppalaista identiteettiä konstruoidaan esitteissä hegemonisin diskurssein, jotka keskittyvät yhtenäisyyteen, eurooppalaiseen toimijaan ja eurooppalaisuuteen hankkeena. Diskurssit konstruoivat eurooppalaisuutta monilla eri tasoilla korostaen yhteisen identiteetin kulttuurista, sosiaalista, poliittista ja historiallista luonnetta. Identiteettien poliittisesta luonteesta kertoo myös se, että EU:n toimintaa legitimoidaan erilaisin menetelmin näiden diskurssien yhteydessä. Diskurssien toiseuttava olemus tulee esille maahanmuuttajien ja itäisten naapurien kohdalla. Eurooppalainen piirtyy aineistossa toisaalta essentialistisen stabiiliksi kansallisen identiteetin mallia toistavaksi kokonaisuudeksi, mutta toisaalta identiteetissä on erotettavissa konstruktivistisiä projektiluontoisuutta korostavia piirteitä. Tutkimustulokset viittaavat siihen, että Euroopan unionissa on käynnissä tietoinen identiteettiprojekti, joka sekä lainaa kansallisten identiteettien perinteestä rakennuspalikoita että pyrkii erottautumaan tästä traditioista.

Konsekvenser av rollövertagandet : ”I”, ”me” och individualiteten

Consequences of role taking: the ”I”, the ”me” and individuality This paper analyzes the tendency of taking the ”I” and the ”me” in G. H. Meads theory of role taking as two separate, qualitatively different parts of human personality, the ”I” being of individual origin, the ”me” of social. In the original Meadian sense role taking gives rise to both the ”I” and the ”me”. They are dialectically united rather than dualistically separated aspects. They refer to the joint functional power of the subject, finding itself as an object, mediated by the Other. As a consequence, the link between body and the social world becomes theoretically more stringent, as the body is given its place as a cognitive social object among others, this by contrast to interpretations where the body is left as an object mainly outside the human social experience and as a source of agency sui generis, a conception which is in opposition to Meads. The stress on the ”I”-phase, as related to body and concrete action in combination with its direct relation to the ”me”-phase, actualizes Mead as a forerunner in modern biologic/neurologic research on human perceptual, motivational and intentional capacity.Swedish Mead interpreters are critically analyzed. Interpretations of Charon, Giddens, Joas and Habermas are partly scrutinized. The author defines the conceptual pair in terms of activity, subjectivity, temporal relativity and distance.

Att inte spänna kärran framför hästen : precisering av Meads ”rollövertagande”

Not to put the cart before the horse: clarification of Mead’s ”role taking” George Herbert Mead’s “role taking” is subject to many interpretations. Some dominant definitions restrict role taking to reflective people trying to understand each other and taking on each others' roles. Other definitions restrict role taking to the stage of a developed language. Against these two types of definitions I assert that Meads concept is explanatory, not merely descriptive, functionally as well as existentially. It has a value also on elementary levels of human development, where man is socially similar to other primates. Swedish sociologists have contributed fruitfully to straighten the debate. My intention is to clarify it further, and to explicate my own interpretation. Basic role taking is a non-reflective activity going on in any place where living entities influence each other with gestures in similar ways. In human beings it gives rise to conscious discursive reflectivity, and it coincides phylogenetically and ontogenetically with development of language, rather than being created by it. Role taking emanates from breaking automatic responsivity. It introduces distance and reflectivity and results in conscious social behavior, rather than being produced by such. In this way, role taking is a major step in the development of intelligence on earth.

TROMBONE MUSIC OF SCANDINAVIA: A STUDY OF TROMBONE SOLO AND CHAMBER WORKS FROM SWEDEN, NORWAY, AND DENMARK

This dissertation project aims to establish Scandinavian trombone solo and chamber works as a major contribution to the trombone repertoire. From the late 19th century to modern day, Scandinavian composers have produced a steady output of trombone works of substantial musical quality. Deep-rooted in the traditions of strong military wind bands, Scandinavia has also produced an unusual number of trombone virtuosos, ranging from those holding positions in leading orchestras, and internationally renowned pedagogues, to trombonists enjoying careers as soloists. In this study I propose that it is the symbiotic relationship between strong performers and traditionally nationalist composers that created the fertile environment for the large number of popular trombone solo and chamber repertoire not seen in any other region besides the Paris Conservatory and its infamous test pieces. I also interpret the selected repertoire through the prism of nationalism and influence of folk music, and convey that the allure of the mystic Nordic folk influences enhances the appeal of the Scandinavian trombone repertoire to world-wide audiences and performers. The dissertation project was realized over three solo recitals, each showcasing the music of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark respectively. For each program, I looked to choose a standard work from the trombone solo repertoire, a work written for or by a native virtuoso, and a lesser-known work that warrants the attention of other performers for its musical qualities. The recital of Swedish music presented Mandrake in the Corner by Christian Lindberg, Subadobe by Frederik Högberg, A Christian Song by Jan Sandström, and Concertino for trombone and strings by Lars-Erik Larsson. The recital of Norwegian music presented Concerto for Trombone op. 76 by Egil Hovland, Ordner Seg by Øystein Baadsvik, Elegi by Magne Amdahl, and Concerto in F major by Ole Olsen. The recital of Danish music presented Rapsodia Borealis by Søren Hyldgaard, Madrigal by Bo Gunge, Romance for trombone and piano by Axel Jørgensen, Concerto for trombone by Launy Grøndahl, and Three Swedish Tunes by Mogens Andresen. Through the performance of works from these three countries, the dissertation establishes Scandinavia as a rich source of solo trombone repertoire perpetuated by nationalist composers and virtuosos, as well as providing a brief survey of Scandinavian trombone works of various instrumentation and difficulty levels to be enjoyed by student, professional, and amateur performers and their audience.

Feeling existentially touched - A phenomenological notion of the well-being of elderly living in special housing accommodation from the perspective of care professionals

This article presents a phenomenological analysis of interview material, in which 12 care professionals in elderly care reflect on the elderly's well-being within the frame of special housing accommodation. The perspective of the care professionals is of special interest. The findings show that the well-being is characterized as the elderly's feelings of being existentially touched. The well-being is an existential experience of being acknowledged as a human being and is an approach that classifies the elderly's needs as those of having, loving, and being. The meaning of the phenomenon is elucidated by the constituents: (1) to feel the freedom of choice, (2) to feel pleasure, and (3) to feel closeness to someone or something. The findings contribute new understanding of well-being in the elderly care by its existential dimension of the well-being as "just being'' and of doing things in order to experience meaningfulness. Accordingly, the well-being of the elderly as it is seen from the perspective of the care professionals involves both carers' subjectivity and intersubjectivity between the care professional and the elderly. An implication for promoting elderly's well-being is to develop awareness of these existential dimensions.

Finite element modeling of tube deformation during cold pilgering

A three-dimensional finite element model of cold pilgering of stainless steel tubes is developed in this paper. The objective is to use the model to increase the understanding of forces and deformations in the process. The focus is on the influence of vertical displacements of the roll stand and axial displacements of the mandrel and tube. Therefore, the rigid tools and the tube are supported with elastic springs. Additionally, the influences of friction coefficients in the tube/mandrel and tube/roll interfaces are examined. A sensitivity study is performed to investigate the influences of these parameters on the strain path and the roll separation force. The results show the importance of accounting for the displacements of the tube and rigid tools on the roll separation force and the accumulative plastic strain.
