Käänteet ja kierrot:kulttuuriset ympäristömuutokset pohjoisessa
No full text"Elämme ennen kokemattomien ympäristökriisien aikaa. On kiire havainnoida, kertoa ja kuvitella uudenlaisia suhteita ympäristöön, eläimiin, kasveihin ja elementteihin. Miten kertoa tarinoita, joissa ihmisen tarpeet ja hyvinvointi eivät olisi toiminnan tavoite ja viitepiste? Miten viestiä yhdessä elämisen ja yhteismuotoutumisen merkityksistä? Kirjan monitieteisissä ja -taiteisissa artikkeleissa keskitytään kulttuurisiin ympäristömuutoksiin ja niiden kiertoihin, käänteisiin, jatkuvuuksiin ja paluisiin. Siihen, miten ihminen vaikuttaa toiminnallaan luonnonympäristöön ja miten ympäristön muuttuessa ihminen joutuu sopeuttamaan toimintaansa, mikä puolestaan vaikuttaa jälleen ympäröivään luontoon. Pohjoisiin luonnonympäristöihin ja kulttuureihin paneutuvissa artikkeleissa koetellaan taiteen ja tutkimuksen rajoja. Ennakkoluulottomilla metodologisilla avauksilla luodaan uusia polkuja ja tietämisen tapoja

Possession and indigenous subjectivity:a view from the Pacific
No full textIt is objectively challenging to reconcile the rational metaphysics of pre-colonial indigenous governance with the irrational objectivity of colonialism. The only relatively undisputed factor in this prospective equation — ‘possession’ becomes relevant as a matter of discussion only when there was a ‘dispossession’ recorded or perceived to be the case. This opinion builds on Athanasiou’s context-linked elaborations regarding ‘addressing’ and ‘redressing’ (2013), while touching upon a range of historic-n-legal developments that took place in New Zealand and Fiji
Indigeneity:pushing for inclusion and appropriation in the anthropocene?
No full textThis piece attempts at critically elaborating on the factor of ‘indigeneity’ in the context of internal politics as well as its obvious struggle to understand the very meaning of the phenomenon. The issue-associated practical point is argued to be looking like a matter of convenience for those who prefer engaging it into play or getting rid of it from the intra-politics whenever the phenomenon loses its leverage
Emerging Systemic Turn in Service Design
Full text linkThis chapter explores emerging turn in the service design research and education paradigm. There is a higher recognition of addressing the systems and complexities in services. The data was collected by a literature review, a workshop held at the Service Design and Innovation (Servdes) Conference in 2023, and expert interviews. The thematic analysis shows that service design thinking has expanded its complexity, thus including different or sometimes even divergent directions. Having a broad spectrum of skills makes it possible for service designers to operate as agents in the design system and analyse this front holistically. From the systemic view, service design itself can be investigated as a design system. This helps us understand how to develop design education, and the interviews shed light on this. Positionality can also help in analysing different systemic stances that are complex and plural, this complexity creates pressure for education to keep up with the speed of transformation and change.This chapter explores the emerging turn in service design research and the education paradigm.

Civil servants' digitalization readiness in Finnish municipal land use planning and construction supervision from Senge's systems theory perspective
No full textGender minorities at music festivals
Full text linkPurpose: The purpose was to examine the prevalence and type of inappropriate behaviour gender minorities face and how they perceive such behaviour. The study is framed within Gidley et al.’s social inclusion model, indicating areas where actions are needed to avoid social exclusion. Design/methodology/approach: The research data comprised over 12,000 responses to a web survey, which included 184 responses from gender minority members and four in-depth, semi-structured interviews. The data were analysed using statistical methods and interpretative phenomenological analysis. Findings: About 59% of gender minority members had experienced inappropriate behaviour, compared to 34% of female festival attendees. The most common form of inappropriate behaviour towards gender minorities was harassment because of gender, followed by sexual harassment, physically threatening situations and harassment because of appearance or clothing. Interviews were analysed against the theoretical framework of social inclusion, determining how the experiences influenced access, participation and empowerment. Practical implications: Festivals must have unisex toilets. Safer space policies should be better communicated, more visible and more practical. Instead of having one harassment contact person, there should be a whole team. Training the festival personnel, particularly the security staff, is highly important. People are reluctant to report problems to the security personnel since those personnel might be part of the problem. There should be members of gender minorities among performers, workers, security staff and volunteers. Originality/value: Studies on inappropriate behaviour at festivals have concentrated on female experiences of sexual harassment. Gender minorities have hardly been studied, even though they face more inappropriate behaviour than any other minority group. Furthermore, gender minorities are typically grouped with sexual minorities even though their experiences differ from one another. We applied Gidley et al.’s hierarchical model of social inclusion to gender minority members in the context of music festivals. In doing so, we added knowledge of attitudes and practices that reduce and endanger feelings of access, participation and empowerment.</p
