Parler des crises dans la presse écrite en France, en Estonie et aux États-Unis. Des corpus sur la pandémie de Covid-19 aux grands corpus diachroniques
Cet article propose un ensemble d’analyses contrastives des discours médiatiques portant sur la notion et le lexème « crise » dans la presse écrite française, estonienne et américaine. Cette étude, qui s’inscrit dans un projet plus large sur les représentations discursives de la crise, mobilise plusieurs outils numériques (Hyperbase, Sketch Engine, Lexicoscope) et croise des corpus variés centrés sur la pandémie de Covid-19, puis élargis à une pe…
Mainstreaming the manosphere: Discourses of contemporary masculinity among Estonian manfluencers
The misogyny and antifeminism of the manosphere has received considerable academic and journalistic attention. This article addresses a new troubling trend, the mainstreaming of the manosphere by targeting wide audiences via TikTok. We analyse this process with the case of Estonian manfluencers and their use of international ideologies of the manosphere while drawing on the theoretical concepts of gender performativity, hegemonic and hybrid mascu…
Gender, language and labour: Gender perception of Estonian and Russian occupational titles
Introduction Current research on occupational gender stereotypes in language has indicated that gender bias is influenced by various aspects, including social knowledge about roles associated with either men or women as well as linguistic information. This study focuses on gender perception of language users of Estonian and Russian. The former is a grammatically genderless Finno-Ugric language, while the latter has grammatical gender. Based on pr…
The boring apocalypse: The representation of flat affects in contemporary British pandemic novels
In his 2021 opinion article in The New York Times, Adam Grant called the COVID-19 pandemic the ‘boring apocalypse’. Indeed, while pre-pandemic imaginaries of global pandemics tended to focus on spectacular killer viruses, for many people in the Global North, the challenge of the pandemic was, if not boredom, then a sense of recurring routine. Although the pandemic also created strong affects like fear and anger, this article will look at the ‘fla…
Transnational and Decolonial Feminist Insights Into the Neoliberalization of Estonian Academia
Since the 1990s Estonia has been characterized by the acceptance of neoliberal values, as an antidote to the Soviet past. Neoliberal practices, like quantification and market- orientation, have permeated most spheres of society, including academia. There has been very little critical reflection on the epistemic inequalities created by this academic model for Estonia as a semi-peripheral country. In this article, the authors aim to place the neoli…
Intersubjectivity and the disconnection in Patricia Lockwood’s No One Is Talking About This (2021)
Fictional subjectivities: Introduction
Meeleheide ja morbiidne vitaalsus Djuna Barnesi „Öömetsas” ja Reed Morni „Andekas parasiidis”
Djuna Barnes (1892–1982) kuulutas ennast XX sajandi „kõige kuulsamaks tundmatuks” (Glavey 2009: 749) ning kirjanduslugu on ingliskeelses kultuuriruumis aastakümneid selle enesemääranguga nõustunud, vaadeldes teda heal juhul olulise marginaalse kirjanikuna (ingl major minor writer).1 Tänu peamiselt feministlike kirjandusteadlaste tegevusele viimase paarikümne aasta jooksul on lisandunud ridamisi põnevaid uurimusi (Warren 2008; Caselli 2009; Taylor…
Gender Perspectives in the Study of Estonian Society and Culture: Current State and Challenges
Gender issues have become increasingly compelling for both scholars and the general public in Estonia in the past twenty years. This can, for example, be seen in the March 2022 issue of the Estonian cultural magazine Vikerkaar which published a lengthy overview of the history of Estonian feminism (Karro 2022). The overview attempts to show the length of this history and its continuity under different political regimes, refreshing older surveys pu…
Affect and Attunement in Experimental Autofiction: Response Without an Event
This article juxtaposes the work of Kathy Acker and Olivia Laing’s adoption of the Kathy Acker persona in her novel Crudo (2018). It seeks to find out to what extent these two writers’ re-enactments and defamiliarization of authentic experience play with affect and affectlessness to create a countersentimental effect. This countersentimental effect is contrasted to affective display of conventional autobiography and autofiction to explore narrati…
Võõristusest läheduseni. Kehad ja meeled Emil Tode „Raadios”
Ma ei ole kuskilt kunagi otsinud mitte midagi muud kui seda. Kõikidest linnadest, kuhu olen läinud. Kõikidest linnadest, kuhu ma olen unistanud minna. Kõikidest küladest, mida ma olen näinud bussi- või rongiaknast ja kuhu ma juba mõttes olen jõudnud ta elama paigutada. [---] Ilma et ma oskaksin öelda, mis on see s e e. Või kirjeldada, milline [...]
Affect and queer intimate entanglements in national-neoliberal Estonia
This article examines the affective entanglements and queer/ed intimacies in post-Soviet Estonia by analyzing ethnographic fieldwork. To build an intersectionally engaged analysis, the article employs Karen Barad’s agential realist model of intra-actions to show how intimate relationships are tied to socio-economic status and cultural setting. In Estonia, intimacy is framed by a homophobic discourse that erases anything but heteronormativity. Thi…
Authenticity and Depthiness in the Representation of Affects: Perception and Performativity in Contemporary (Auto)Fiction / Autentsus ja sügavuse illusioon afektide kujutamises: taju ja performatiivsu…
This article analyses the tension between the perception and performance of affect in two contemporary texts: Heather Christle’s The Crying Book (2019) and Christine Smallwood’s The Life of the Mind (2021). Both subvert the expectation of feminine sentiment and pose questions about the authenticity of affect. Although affects are always mediated in fiction, experimental fictional texts have the potential for greater authenticity than the performa…
Performativity, Performance and Perception / Performatiivsus, etendus ja taju
Olukorraline teadmine tõejärgsel ajastul
Juba mitu aastat kestnud vaidluses alternatiivsete faktide ja tõejärgsuse üle on nii akadeemilistes tekstides kui ka igapäevameedias nimetatud selle fenomeni üheks tekkepõhjuseks postmodernismi. Seda teevad nii erinevate valdkondade teadlased (näiteks filosoof Daniel Dennett või kognitivist Steven Pinker (2018)) kui ka sotsiaalmeedias oma poliitkorrektsusevastaste seisukohtadega kuulsust kogunud Jordan Peterson. Ka teoreetiliste vaidluste kõrgaj…
Muutume masinateks“. Tehnoloogia ja soolistatud kehad ameerika modernismis / “We Twiddle … and Turn into Machines”: Technology and gendered bodies in American modernism
Käesoleva artikli eesmärgiks on analüüsida, kuidas tehnoloogilised kuvandid sobituvad modernsuse perioodi laiemasse soolistatud kriisidiskursusesse. Palju on kirjutatud modernsusega seotud tajukriisist ja selle seotusest tehnoloogiaga, kuid vähem on uuritud seda, kuidas tajukriisi saab sobitada samal ajal domineerinud tajutud soolise kriisiga, eelkõige mehelikkuse kriisiga. Kuna paljud modernsuse kehalised, tajumuslikud ja esteetilised otsingud o…
Diskursuseanalüüsi muutuv suhe kvantifitseerimisega inglis- ja prantsuskeelses traditsioonis
Märksõna diskursuseanalüüs tekitab alati teatavat segadust: kas juttu on lingvistikast või ühiskonnateadustest, kas lähenemine on kriitiline või kirjeldav, on see meetod või laiem uurimissuund? Diskursusest kirjutatakse paljudes distsipliinides ning see toob endaga kaasa mõiste tähendusvarjundite arvu suurenemise. Siinne artikkel ei plaani kehtestada ühest tähendust, kuid soovib avada diskursuseanalüüsi (järgnevalt DA) laiemat arengukonteksti, nä…
Autoteooria võimalused teooria ja omaeluloolisuse vahel
Tänasel kirjandusmaastikul on kaubanduslikult edukate elulugude kõrvale üha enam ilmunud tekste, mis liiguvad hallis tsoonis, kus ilukirjanduslikku teksti sekkub tugev omaelulooline hääl, mis astub samaaegselt ka teoreetilisse diskussiooni. Žanride segamine pole iseenesest uus, kuid (auto)biograafia ja kirjanduse ristumise päevakajalisusest annab märku kas või tõik, et 2000. aastatel on inglise keeles ilmunud ridamisi romaane, mille peategelaseks…
Intersections of Feminisms and Neoliberalism: Post-State-Socialist Estonia in a Transnational Feminist Framework
Raili Marling, Redi Koobak, Intersections of Feminisms and Neoliberalism: Post-State-Socialist Estonia in a Transnational Feminist Framework, Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies, Vol. 38, No. 3 (2017), pp. 1-21
The decolonial challenge: Framing post-socialist Central and Eastern Europe within transnational feminist studies
The article explores the location of Central and Eastern Europe in transnational feminist studies. The authors argue that there is a pressing need for theories which can approach the near absence of Central and Eastern European perspectives from transnational feminist theorising, and challenge the limited number of discursive tropes associated with post-socialist Central and Eastern Europe – especially that of a ‘lag’, where difference is transla…
The Intimidating Other: Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis of the Representation of Feminism in Estonian Print Media
The article studies anti-feminist rhetoric in post-socialist Estonian print media, specifically the Postimees, the most widely read quality daily in the country, in a ten-year period (1996–2005). The textual corpus is analyzed with a method informed by the critical discourse analytical work of Chouliaraki & Fairclough (1999) and Lazar (2005), focusing on lexical framing and social (re-)contextualization of the created frames. The analysis demonst…

The boring apocalypse: The representation of flat affects in contemporary British pandemic novels
In his 2021 opinion article in The New York Times, Adam Grant called the COVID-19 pandemic the ‘boring apocalypse’. Indeed, while pre-pandemic imaginaries of global pandemics tended to focus on spectacular killer viruses, for many people in the Global North, the challenge of the pandemic was, if not boredom, then a sense of recurring routine. Although the pandemic also created strong affects like fear and anger, this article will look at the ‘fla…
