Matti Hyvärinen – författare

Offering an interdisciplinary approach to narrative, this book investigates storyworlds and minds in narratives across media, from literature to digital games and reality TV, from online sadomasochism to oral history databases, and from horror to hallucinations. It addresses two core questions of contemporary narrative theory, inspired by recent cognitive-scientific developments: what kind of a construction is a storyworld, and what kind of mental functioning can be embedded in it? Minds and worlds become essential facets of making sense and interpreting narratives as the book asks how story-internal minds relate to the mind external to the storyworld, that is, the mind processing the story. With essays from social scientists, literary scholars, linguists, and scholars from interactive media studies answering these topical questions, the collection brings diverse disciplines into dialogue, providing new openings for genuinely transdisciplinary narrative theory. The wide-ranging selection of materials analyzed in the book promotes knowledge on the latest forms of cultural and social meaning-making through narrative, necessary for navigating the contemporary, mediatized cultural landscape. The combination of theoretical reflection and empirical analysis makes this book an invaluable resource for scholars and advanced students in fields including literary studies, social sciences, art, media, and communication.

Tämä kirja alkaa hetkestä, jolloin tutkija on saanut haastattelunsa tehtyä ja luo hämmentyneen katseen kokoamaansa aineistoon. Tällainenko siitä tulikin? Vastaako tämä lainkaan kysymyksiini? Saako tästä edes tehtyä tutkimusta? Kirjoittajat vastaavat esimerkkien avulla laadullisen tutkimusaineiston nostattamiin kysymyksiin. Millä eri tavoilla aineistoa voi analysoida? Mikä on teorian paikka analyysissä? Mitä eroa on haastattelun ja analyysin teemoilla? Mitä tarkoittaa sisällönanalyysi? Miten aineiston jatkokäyttö kannattaa järjestää? Kirjassa käydään läpi koko analyysiprosessi haastatteluaineistoon tutustumisesta ja sen luokittelusta tulkintavaiheen viimeistelyyn. Eri analyysimenetelmien asiantuntijat esittelevät tutkimusesimerkkien avulla erilaisia reittejä tulkintaan ja vaihtoehtoisia tapoja analysoida aineistoa. He antavat myös käytännön neuvoja aineiston käsittelyn eri vaiheisiin, kuten koodaamiseen, litterointiin ja aineiston kääntämiseen toiselle kielelle, ja tarkastelevat aineiston käyttöön liittyviä eettisiä kysymyksiä. Teos on suunnattu eri tieteenalojen opiskelijoille, jatko-opiskelijoille, tutkijoille sekä opettajille yliopistoissa ja ammattikorkeakouluissa. Kirjoittajat ovat kokeneita yliopisto-opettajia, jotka ovat hyödyntäneet haastattelumenetelmää omissa tutkimuksissaan.

Ian McEwan on Britannian merkittävimpiä nykykirjailijoita, jonka teokset ovat keränneet palkintoja sekä kiitosta niin kriitikoilta kuin kirjojen ostajilta. Suomessa hänen läpimurtoromaaninsa oli vuonna 2002 julkaistu romaani "Sovitus" ja sen pohjalta tehty elokuva. Eri alojen tutkijat ovat ottaneet McEwanin vuonna 2007 julkaistun Rannalla-romaanin tutkimuksensa aineistoksi. Romaani kertoo englantilaisen nuorenparin epäonnisesta hääyöstä rantahotellissa vuonna 1962. "10 tunnin avioliitto" on monipuolinen johdatus kaunokirjallisuuden käyttämiseen muiden tieteenalojen tutkimusaineistona. Kaunokirjallisuus mahdollistaa tunteiden, ajatusten ja ihmismielen toiminnan huomioimisen tavoilla, joihin yhteiskuntatieteellinen puhetapa ei helposti taivu. Teos opettaa myös tilanteiden ja tapahtumien monitulkintaisuutta. Siksi se sopii lääkäreille, sosiaalityöntekijöille, toimittajille, poliiseille ja kaikille muille, joiden työ nojaa tulkintaan.
