COVID19-virus mullisti maailman nopeasti keväällä 2020. Maaliskuussa vaikutukset iskivät voimalla Suomeen, jossa valmisteltiin ja toteutettiin pikaisesti valmiuslaki. Valmiuslaissa yhtenä toimenpiteenä viruksen torjumiseksi asetettiin vierailukielto sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon yksiköihin, ikäihmisten asumispalvelut mukaan lukien. Aiemman tutkimuksen perusteella vierailuilla tiedetään olevan suuri merkitys sekä hoivakotien asukkaiden että vierailevien läheisten hyvinvoinnille. Me halusimme tutkia, millaisin keinoin yhteyttä hoivakodissa asuvaan omaiseen on pidetty vierailukiellon aikana, miten vierailukielto on vaikuttanut hoivakotiasukkaiden läheisiin, ja mitä oppia läheisten kokemuksista voitaisiin saada tulevaisuutta ajatellen. Tutkimuksen aineistona on 28 läheisiltä saatua sähköpostikirjettä, joille tehtiin laadullista sisällönanalyysiä. Vaikka uusien viestintäteknologioiden käyttöönotto on parantanut tiedonkulkua hoivakodeissa, on huoli omaisen tilanteesta ja epätietoisuus vierailukielon kestosta heikentänyt läheisten hyvinvointia. Tulevaisuutta ajatellen tärkeää oppia saatiin siitä, että varmuusvarastojen suunnittelussa kannattaa huomioida sosiaaliset tekijät lääketieteellisten lisäksi. Tuloksillaan tutkimus osallistuu hoivakotien toiminnan kehittämiseen ja vanhojen ihmisten yhteiskunnallisesta asemasta käytävään keskusteluun.
The term social circus refers to pedagogical circus activities that are used to foster collaboration and interaction between the participants. This paper is based on a research project that aimed to analyze how the embodied nature of social circus activities is related to second language use and learning. The participants are adult second language speakers of Finnish with emerging literacy, and the data has been gathered with the methods of video-ethnography and analyzed using multimodal conversation analysis (Mondada 2014). The focus of analysis on the participants’ turns that combine the grammatical resources of Finnish with embodied means. These turns occur as part of a reflective activity during which the participants share their thoughts on the circus activities. The analysis shows how the collaborative nature of the circus activities is reflected in language use and highlights the embodied nature of language use and learning.
I have been developing a model for how to use animated objects when meeting a palliative care patient and I have noticed that during these animated moments in the hospice, performing objects have represented different sites of humanity. At their best, these moments have created a performance from the patient’s story that has become shared. Moments of animation in the hospice are meetings between me and a person who is in palliative care. I have facilitated our meeting and brought a suitcase full of everyday objects with me. A patient is given a story and then cast in their own story with objects they have chosen. Meetings with patients in palliative care made me think about patients moral agency. A moral agent is a being who consciously puts moral activities into practice. Expressive objects telling stories for a patient is one place where moral agency survives in the hospice setting and where a palliative care patient can act for a while as a member of a moral community. In this article, I share my model of expressive objects related to my practice.
