Pluralism in military service
In this article, I analyse the entwining processes of differentiation and homogenization in Finnish military service. The study contributes to the debates on group cohesion, and subsequent analyses of the armed forces’ capability to recognize and deal with diversity among soldiers. Drawing on group interviews with 85 Finnish conscripts, conducted in 2023, I argue that there is a conflicting approach in their views on issues of diversity: on one h…
Ethnographer as creation
This article examines the dynamic process constituting the researcher-subject in ethnographic fieldwork. Applying the theoretical framework of AN Whitehead AN (1964) The Concept of Nature: The Tarnell Lectures Delivered in Trinity College in 1919. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, Whitehead AN (1929/1985) Process and Reality: An Essay in Cosmology. New York: Free Press, I argue that the ethnographical researching subject is the outcome of fi…
Futures in action
In this article, I explore the orientations towards the future and their consequences for action in youth activation workshops. My analysis is drawn from a distinction between embodied and embedded futures, on one hand, and empty and decontextualised futures, on the other hand. The relations among past, present and future times are explored, as well as the embodied or disembodied nature of orientations towards the future. I analyse the embodied o…
Human capitalisation in activation
This article analyses how processes of ‘human capitalisation’ work in various labour-market activation services aimed at young people in Finland. Drawing on multi-site ethnographic research on activating workshops, public employment services, and career counselling for youth in the Helsinki metropolitan region of Finland in 2014–2016, we trace sites and instances of human capitalisation. Capturing processes through which previously non-economic a…

The article examines children's clothes in the practices of everyday life in day care. The data for the article are drawn from an ethnography of three- to seven-year-old children's day care groups in a day care centre intended for children of shift-working parents in southern Finland. Rather than focusing on the relations between identity, representation and clothing, the article examines what clothes do in the everyday practices of day care. Clo…
