“…As to the question of who typically uses the Suomi24 site, an online survey of forum users ( n = 1395, Dec. 2016; see Harju, 2017) revealed that the majority of users are middle‐aged (40–50 years old) or elderly persons. Sixty‐three per cent of the respondents were male, and 55% were either married, in a registered partnership or cohabiting.…”

National identities are an important tool for collective political persuasion and mobilisation among political elites and lay people. Recent research on nationalism has shown that the negotiating of national identities, like any political deliberations and operations, increasingly occur on the Internet. In this study, we contribute to this research by examining the relational construction of Finnish identity online. More specifically, we focus on how the users of the largest discussion forum in Finland constructed Russia as a threat. A massive dataset spanning 12 years enables us to map the recurring patterns and temporal shifts in the discussions. We show that the construction of Russia as a threatening national other was used to both oppose and support Finland's alliance with the West, namely, becoming a member of NATO.

Artikkelissa analysoidaan, millaista kuvaa opetuksen poliittisuudesta rakennetaan verkkokeskusteluissa ja millaisia merkityksiä kouluun ja opettajiin liitetään. Aineistona ovat kouluopetusta käsitelleet verkkokeskustelut, jotka käynnistyivät tammikuussa 2021 Helsingin Sanomien ja Yleisradion uutisoitua Perussuomalaisen Nuorison aloitteesta ilmiantaa puolueellisia opettajia. Menetelmällisesti artikkelissa hyödynnetään retorista analyysia, retoris-performatiivista diskurssiteoriaa ja toiseuttavan verkkokeskustelun teoriaa. Osa aineiston keskustelijoista esitti koulun puolueelliseksi ja kyseenalaisti opettajien luotettavuuden. Toiset puolustivat opettajien ammattitaitoa. Yleisesti ottaen puheenvuoroista kuvastuu keskustelijoiden epätietoisuus siitä, miten koulun arvoperusta määritetään. Monissa kommenteissa pyrittiin toiseuttamaan opettajia kuvaamalla heidät eliitin edustajiksi. Verkkokeskustelussa esiintyvät kouluun kohdistetut syytökset poliittisen vastustajan tavoitteiden ajamisesta ovat ominaisia populististen ryhmien käyttämälle puhetavalle. Tulokset johtavat pohtimaan tarvetta käydä avoimempaa keskustelua koulun arvoperustan määrittelystä ja median kykyä asiantuntevaan koulu-uutisointiin.

“…It is one of the largest non-English discussion forums in Europe, offering an open-access corpus on posts discussing a variety of topics. The survey conducted by Harju (2018) revealed that the users of Suomi24 consider it as a platform where ordinary people can express their views that often go unheard in the mainstream media. Suomi24 is divided into 21 main subforums under headings such as “Family,” “Entertainment and Culture” and “Health.” The latter includes many subgroups, for example, “Vaccinations.” The users can submit posts anonymously, but the discussion threads are moderated in order to prevent incivility.…”

Defending and refuting information sources rhetorically: The case of COVID-19 vaccination

This investigation compares how COVID-19 vaccination supporters and refusers make use of rhetorical strategies to judge the credibility of information sources in online discussion. To this end, the Aristotelian tripartite approach to rhetoric, that is, ethos, pathos and logos was utilized. The empirical findings draw on the analysis of 2257 posts submitted to Suomi24—a Finnish online discussion in May—October 2021. The findings indicate that both vaccine supporters and vaccine refusers mainly drew on the pathos- and ethos-related rhetorical strategies such as appeal to blameworthiness and ad hominem arguments while judging the credibility of information sources. Coronavirus vaccination appeared to be a highly contested topic giving rise to polarized debates, deep mistrust and mutual accusations between opposing parties. The rhetorical strategies were used to attack opponents’ views on the credibility of information sources, rather than making attempts to create mutual understanding of their value for arguments used in online discussion.
