Panels
Nov 12, 2002, the list is to be completed all the time!
Narrative practice. Use of narratives in professional contexts
- Saarenheimo Marja (marja.saarenheimo@kolumbus.fi)
Personal, cultural and national memory - narratives of war and
reconstruction
- Loipponen Jaana (jaana.loipponen@phnet.fi)
Wars create stories of forgetting and remembering, on a personal
and a
national level. Some war memories become cultural myths, uniting
the nation; some personal and intimate memories remain in the quiet.
Certainly, the events of war affect all life narratives. In this
panel the participants approach the issues of reminiscences of war
from various positions: "loosers", "winners", survivors,
widows, orphans, artists, soldiers, civilians.
Narrating Subjectivity and Security in De-territorialized world:
Narrative-theorizing in Peace Research/IR today
- Väyrynen Tarja (tarja.vayrynen@uta.fi)
The objective of the panel is to discuss the implications that narrative
theorizing and narratives as a method have on Peace Research and
International Relations. The emphasis is on how this 'alternative'
approach in this field can and does stretch the boundaries of these disciplines.
The stretching of the boundaries involves the change in the treatment
of data. Yet, this also involves, first and foremost, re-evaluating the basic
concepts and building blocks of International Relations theory as well as
Peace Research. Then, in this panel we will be asking how narrative-theorizing
opens the boundaries of IR and Peace Research today. What kind of
implications narrative approach has on the basic concepts of these
disciplines such as security, subjectivity as political agency?
We will argue that with the narrative approach we can build a more diverse
and interdisciplinary approach to the study of IR and Peace Research.
In this way, we believe that with the narratives as a method and as a form
of theorizing we can seriously contribute to the study of IR. Therefore
we will be also addressing the questions of power in the boundary making
of IR and Peace Research as a form of inclusion and exclusion. Thus, in
our panel there is the intention to build a form of theorizing within IR that
would indeed be more open to diversity than the mainstream has been.
Narratives in meetings, institutional settings and the workplace
- Nikander Pirjo (pirjo.nikander@uta.fi)
Muisti, muistaminen ja kertomus
- Ronkainen Suvi (suvi.ronkainen@uta.fi)
Embodied narratives
-Kaskisaari Marja (kaskisaa@dodomail.cc.jyu.fi)
The aim of this workshop is to inquire embodiness around narrative
knowledge. What is the status of embodied experiences in the field of narrative analysis or analysis of
narratives? Papers with different "bodily touching"
themes are welcome not to forget critical power analysis of
different reading methods. Especially interesting would
be discussions about emotional experiences, experiences that
are left open, disillusions, confusions, questioning.
Stuggles in narratives
-Huttunen Rauno (rakahu@cc.jyu.fi)
Theme of struggle is very crucial in people's narratives. One could say that there is no story if there is no struggle in it. There are many struggles that people want to tell about; struggles for recognition (Hegel, Honneth), inner struggles, one's struggle for finding her place in world, struggles in personal or professional life, nation's mythical struggle in birth of its existence (Barthes), social movements' struggle for peace, environment, civil rights; that is struggles for historicity (Touraine).
In this session we call for presentations that somehow deal with struggles in narratives. Papers could consist of for example presentation of one "struggle story" and its analysis or it could be purely theoretical analysis about struggles in narratives.
