  • ‘This is a matter of life and death for efficiency’: The implications of datafication within public services for epistemic (in)justice

    Open Access•Jaana Parviainen, Sini Teräsahde et al.•ARTICLE•AI & Society•2026

    This paper discusses institutional epistemic injustice by addressing the structural conditions in digital environments that can create unfair situations for some people. We examine implementing data-driven algorithmic systems for public services by analysing its impacts on users from the perspective of epistemic (in)justice. Epistemic injustice occurs when an individual or group is treated unfairly in their ‘capacity as a knower’. Based on themat…

  • Experiencing Social Exclusion and Distrust: Mental Health Rehabilitees Struggling With Digital Administrative Burdens

    Open Access•Hannele Palukka, Anne Koski et al.•ARTICLE•Social Inclusion•2025•Referências: 21

    The digital welfare state has been transforming into a type of state structure in which the citizen no longer faces the official in person, but interaction instead occurs with system‐level bureaucracy, and decision‐making takes place in an algorithmic system’s frame. This article aimed to determine what kind of burden digital self‐service and algorithmic decision‐making poses to people with mental health problems. The article contributes to the s…

    Open Access•Jaana Parviainen, Anne Koski et al.•ARTICLE•Social Sciences•2025•Citada por: 1•Referências: 24

    In liberal welfare states, algorithmic decision-making systems are being increasingly deployed, impacting the citizen–state relationship in a multitude of positive and negative ways. This theoretical paper aims to develop a novel conceptual model—the institutional trust model—to analyse how the implementation of automated systems erodes or strengthens institutional trust between policymakers and citizens. In this approach, institutional trust doe…

  • AstraZeneca Vaccine Controversies in the Media: Theorizing About the Mediatization of Ignorance in the Context of the Covid-19 Vaccination Campaign

    Open Access•Anna Sendra, Sinikka Torkkola et al.•ARTICLE•Health Communication•2024

    As is the case in other situations of deep uncertainty, the unknowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic have aroused a great deal of attention in the media. Drawing insights both from mediatization theory and ignorance studies, we discuss the coverage of the AstraZeneca vaccine controversies to develop a new concept that we call the mediatization of ignorance. In doing so, we conceptualize the procedure through which unknowns become mediatized as a…

  • Non-knowledge in Medical Practices: Approaching the Uses of Social Media in Healthcare from an Epistemological Perspective

    Open Access•Anna Sendra, Sinikka Torkkola et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Digital Social Research•2023•Referências: 15

    Social media has transformed how individuals handle their illnesses. While many patients increasingly use these online platforms to understand embodied information surrounding their conditions, healthcare professionals often frame these practices as negative and do not consider the expertise that patients generate through social media. Through a combination of insights from social epistemology and ignorance studies, this paper problematizes the d…

  • Chatbot breakthrough in the 2020s? An ethical reflection on the trend of automated consultations in health care

    Open Access•Jaana Parviainen, Juho Rantala•ARTICLE•Medicine Health Care and Philosophy•2022

    Many experts have emphasised that chatbots are not sufficiently mature to be able to technically diagnose patient conditions or replace the judgements of health professionals. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has significantly increased the utilisation of health-oriented chatbots, for instance, as a conversational interface to answer questions, recommend care options, check symptoms and complete tasks such as booking appointments. In this paper, w…

  • Kinetic Values, Mobility (in)equalities, and Ageing in Smart Urban Environments

    Open Access•Jaana Parviainen•ARTICLE•Ethical Theory and Moral Practice•2021

    The idea of the right to mobility has been fundamental to modern Western citizenship and is expressed in many legal and government documents. Although there is widespread acceptance regarding the importance of mobility in older adults, there have been few attempts to develop ethical and theoretical tools to portray mobility (in)equalities in old age. This paper develops a novel conceptualisation of kinetic values focusing on older adults whose ab…

    Open Access•Jaana Parviainen, Anne Koski et al.•ARTICLE•Social Epistemology•2021

    The novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has had far-reaching effects on public health around the world. Attempts to prevent the spread of the disease by quarantine have led to large-scale global socioeconomic disrup- tion. During the outbreak, public authorities and politicians have struggled with how to manage widespread ignorance regarding the virus. Drawing on insights from social epistemology and the emerging interdisciplinary field of igno…

  • The political choreography of the Sophia robot: Beyond robot rights and citizenship to political performances for the social robotics market

    Open Access•Jaana Parviainen, Mark Coeckelbergh•ARTICLE•AI & Society•2021

    A humanoid robot named ‘Sophia’ has sparked controversy since it has been given citizenship and has done media performances all over the world. The company that made the robot, Hanson Robotics, has touted Sophia as the future of artificial intelligence (AI). Robot scientists and philosophers have been more pessimistic about its capabilities, describing Sophia as a sophisticated puppet or chatbot. Looking behind the rhetoric about Sophia’s citizen…

  • Toward Abiozoomorphism in Social Robotics? Discussion of a New Category between Mechanical Entities and Living Beings

    Jaana Parviainen, Tuuli Turja•ARTICLE•Journal of Posthuman Studies•2021•Referências: 8

    Social robotics designed to enhance anthropomorphism and zoomorphism seeks to evoke feelings of empathy and other positive emotions in humans. While it is difficult to treat these machines as mere artefacts, the simulated lifelike qualities of robots easily lead to misunderstandings that the machines could be intentional. In this post-anthropocentrically positioned article, we look for a solution to the dilemma by developing a novel concept, “abi…

    Tech companies have eagerly utilised mindfulness techniques in order to increase both creativity and productivity among their managers and employees. However, while a growing number of studies within fields of clinical psychology and psychiatry suggest that mindfulness provides myriad health benefits, such literature does not critically evaluate the societal and affective influences of mindfulness and other wellness practices on working bodies.

    Bodily knowledge has attracted significant attention within the humanities and other related fields over the last two decades. Although theoretical discussion on bodily knowledge in the context of physical education has been active over the past 10 years, these discussions lack clear conceptual analyses of bodily knowledge. Using a phenomenological approach, the purpose of this paper is to clarify the notion of bodily knowledge, furthering episte…

    Jaana Parviainen•ARTICLE•Mobilities•2010•Citada por: 4•Referências: 19

    Bodies have been used as a political tool in activism, but many scholars have ignored activists’ highly sophisticated and intelligent ways of using their moving bodies. This paper focuses on analysing three choreographies of resistance: the group crawling performance for striking nurses in Helsinki in 2007, the protest by Greenpeace at a nuclear construction site in 2007 and a protest in the 1989 Chinese student movement. The purpose is to shed l…

  • Symmetry as a Mechanism of Control in Management

    Jaana Parviainen, Niina Koivunen•ARTICLE•Consumption Markets & Culture•2006•Referências: 1

    This paper explores the role of symmetry in conceptualising organisations and management. Symmetry is here defined as a correct proportion of the parts in a composition, those parts being either physical or conceptual. We present two cases of symmetry in management practices to demonstrate how symmetry as a combination of aesthetics and cognition can turn into a mechanism of control. First, we analyse the bilateral symmetry of an organisation cha…

Drawing insights both from mediatization theory and ignorance studies, we discuss the coverage of the AstraZeneca vaccine controversies to develop a new concept that we call the mediatization of ignorance. In doing so, we conceptualize the procedure through which unknowns become mediatized as a…

    This paper discusses institutional epistemic injustice by addressing the structural conditions in digital environments that can create unfair situations for some people. We examine implementing data-driven algorithmic systems for public services by analysing its impacts on users from the perspective of epistemic (in)justice.
