“…Personal narratives have flourished as a genre in literary scholarship as their textuality depicts the organization of various corpus, particularly the works of fiction (Mäkelä, 2019;Pignagnoli, 2019;Scucchi, 2015). That is, the choice of using personal narratives is deliberate because the focus of this analysis on postcolonial civic identity and their reactions and presence of (non)human interactions, precisely attend to how personal experiences construct the reader response.…”

The fluid realities of youth in postcolonial nation-states can reflect changing and challenging landscapes. Their engagements with environment, for example, are not only elaborated in social, political, and economical contexts, but also generated through values, beliefs, and identities. This article adds to contemporary debates by positing that discussions on postcolonial civic identities have to be accompanied by youth narratives and their considerations on nature, time, and digital world(s) by taking Malaysian youths as examples. Specifically, it attempts to theorize youth civic identity within postcolonial context(s) by scrutinizing personal narratives that are symbiotically yoked with discourses on ecology and technology. Through administering personal narratives at a suburban district in West Peninsular Malaysia, this paper opens 'windows' into what it means for youths to participate in civic projects. Reading these narratives from the lens of growth into citizenship, their wideranging experiences in civic affairs can be understood in four ways, namely, recognition, responsibilities, reconciliation, and reciprocity. Two of these emerging themes, recognition and responsibilities, will be discussed in this article. Our attempt at depicting postcolonial civic identity, therefore, is part of a large-scale investigation on civic mindedness that will compel us to reflect on unofficial, continuous accounts of youth reflecting on a sense of belongingness and what the future might bring.

“…Päähenkilön tapa raportoida lakonisesti kutsuu lukemaan tyylivalintaa sekä Facebook-narratologisessa (Mäkelä 2019) että temporaalis-kokemuksellisessa (Fludernik 2003) kehyksessä. Huomio kiinnittyy kielellisten valintojen ja kertomusteoreettisten konventioiden limittymiseen erityisesti tietoisuuden representaatioissa.…”

Teknologinen tiedostamaton Johannes Ekholmin romaanissa Rakkaus niinku ja Sisko Savonlahden romaanissa Ehkä tänä kesänä kaikki muuttuu

Artikkeli tarkastelee, kuinka teknologinen tiedostamaton (technological unconscious) sopii analyysin käsitteenä kuvaamaan 2000-lukulaista digitaalista kulttuuria sivuavaa ja tematisoivaa kotimaista proosaa. Analyysin kohteena on kaksi romaania, joiden teemoja sosiaalisen median käyttö on: Johannes Ekholmin Rakkaus niinku (2016) ja Sisko Savonlahden Ehkä tänä kesänä kaikki muuttuu (2018). Sosiaalinen media ja muu teknologiavälitteinen vuorovaikutus esitetään molemmissa romaaneissa keskeisenä osana päähenkilöiden arkielämää, ihmissuhteita ja työllistymisnäkymiä. Romaanien intermediaalisista motiiveista, kerronta- ja kuvausratkaisuista, kielestä ja henkilöasetelmista käy ilmi, että sosiaalisessa mediassa vallitsee huomiotalouden tarpeita palveleva normi ja tunnustusten ja suosion tavoittelu näillä keinoin tuottaa monesti negatiivisia tuntemuksia. Lopulta argumentoidaan, että teknologisen tiedostamattoman käsite auttaa tietyin rajoituksin hahmottamaan kaunokirjallisen teknologiavälitteisen arjen kuvauksen olennaisia piirteitä ja sen seurauksena myös aikalaiskuvauksessa näkyviä laajempia kulttuurisia virtauksia. Jatkotutkimuskohteiksi ehdotetaan tarkempaa teknologiavälitteisen kommunikaation esitysten analyysia sekä sosiaalisen median representaatioiden funktioiden kartoittamista myös nuortenkirjallisuudessa.

“…For educators, such methods can be potentially useful as further ways of assessing the development of professional reflection and whether a particular matrix game has been constructive and helped cadets achieve the set learning goals. However, this study has also revealed the complexity of the interactions in a digital medium, and further refinement of methods for capturing and analysing these interactions and the simultaneous and fragmented narration taking place online is required (see Mäkelä, 2019;Georgakopolou, 2007Georgakopolou, , 2013.…”

Learning (Better) From Stories: Wargames, Narratives, and Rhetoric in Military Education

Wargames have a long history as a military training method. A typical explanatory framework for their efficacy is their narrative aspect. There remain, however, questions concerning the ways narrative functions in context, and how it can be analysed to assess the educational value of wargaming in Professional Military Education programmes (PME). The article offers a case study of how officer cadets employed narrative elements during a matrix game which aims to test their knowledge of peacekeeping operations and to develop their critical thinking and argumentation skills, focusing on how these narrative elements functioned rhetorically. Using positioning analysis buttressed by insights from argumentation studies and expanded with approaches from literary narratology, this study uncovers the extensive and subtle ways players employed narrative persuasion to further their goals, and the extent to which argumentation in matrix games relies on narrative. The study suggests that this aspect of matrix game argumentation has been understudied, and that attention to narrative can have a range of benefits: it helps shed light on how players shift between participatory frameworks or narrative levels in the game, how meaning is negotiated, and how professional reflection and identities are initiated. Demonstrating how subjectivity and experience can be employed as data in military sciences, the study also offers educators an interpretive framework for analysing game interaction. It further suggests that the matrix game's educational value in PME can be extended by incorporating awareness of the rhetorical functions of narrative into the post-game reflection; knowledge of how stories are told could enhance student learning.
