  • Re-Tweeting Election #Ge11 Aodhán O Ríordáin TD
    Re-Tweeting Election #ge11 Aodhán O Ríordáin TD 1 Re-Tweeting Election #ge11 Introduction The 2011 General Election was the first Twitter Election in Ireland. The appetite for increased engagement, accountability and interaction via the social media platform followed the resignation of Defence Minister Willie O’Dea in February 2010, in part because of a carefully composed tweet. By January 2011, Twitter was part of the daily political discourse, as candidates posted their thoughts, policies, pictures and links in the competitive war to raise profiles and attract eyeballs. The beauty of Twitter is that it allows your ‘followers’ to view you in a different lens from the normal political script, and to engage with you on a variety of topics political, personal, trivial and even philosophical. It also allows politicians break some news at appropriate times, and share views on national events without the constraints of a formal press release. This ebook is based on all the tweets published over the course of the General Election campaign, from the announcement of Labour’s motion of no confidence in the government to the day of the election result. It is important to consider that the commentary on the tweets was completed in the months immediately after the election in February 2011, when my memory of events and emotions was still raw and fresh, and not two years later. Therefore, the commentary provided is frozen in 2011 and has not been altered to take account of two years in government and developments in 2013. The tweets and reflections are frozen in time.

  • A Look at How Ideologies Shape the Medical Construction of Gender Dysphoria in Portugal
    Social Theory & Health https://doi.org/10.1057/s41285-019-00102-3 ORIGINAL ARTICLE (Re) Making gender in the clinical context: a look at how ideologies shape the medical construction of gender dysphoria in Portugal Ana Patrícia Hilário1 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract The act of diagnosing gender dysphoria (GD), as in the act of diagnosing any other condition, is structured by socio-cultural, political and economic factors and is con- ducted by social actors. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with practitioners who work with trans people in Portugal, the study reveals the nuances and complexities surrounding the diagnostic attribution of GD and the ways in which the ideologies regarding gender shape this attribution. Practitioners’ accounts show a diversity not often acknowledged within sociological and transgender literature. We extend previ- ous studies by demonstrating that practitioners who operate under a social model of gender are opening space for trans people to be treated as experts of their bodies and identities by accepting the existence of those who identify beyond gender binaries. While it might not be true for practitioners who can be positioned within a biologi- cal model, thus attributing an essentialist explanation of gender, we found evidence that practitioners who follow a social model are allowing room for the self-defnition of gender identifcation. The study provides another lens for understanding the diag- nostic attribution of GD by paying attention to the accounts of practitioners who work with trans people and reveals their openness towards a collaborative model of care. Keywords Trans people · Gender dysphoria · Diagnosis · Gender · Ideologies Introduction Trans people in Portugal (Pinto and Moleiro 2012) and in other countries with a welfare state (Linander et al.

  • Save the Nation! a Social Psychological Study Of
    Department of Social Research University of Helsinki Finland SAVE THE NATION! A SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDY OF POLITICAL BLOGS AS A MEDIUM FOR NATIONALIST COMMUNICATION AND PERSUASION Katarina Pettersson ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be presented, with the permission of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Helsinki, for public examination in lecture room 13, University main building, on June 9th 2017, at 12 noon. Helsinki 2017 Publications of the Department of Social Research 2017:51 Social Psychology © Katarina Pettersson Cover: Jere Kasanen Cover picture: Laura Pakarinen Distribution and Sales: Unigrafia Bookstore http://shop.unigrafia.fi/ [email protected] ISSN 2343-273X (Print) ISSN 2343-2748 (Online) ISBN 978-951-51-2607-8 (Print) ISBN 978-951-51-2608-5 (Online) Unigrafia, Helsinki 2017 ABSTRACT This doctoral dissertation explores how populist radical right politicians in Finland and Sweden use political blogs for the purpose of nationalist political communication and persuasion. The study builds upon research that has highlighted the growing importance of social media in the transmission of radical right, nationalist and anti-immigration political discourse, and to the central role of these media in the gradual normalisation of such discourse. Moreover, the study acknowledges the potential – indicated by previous research – of political blogs to function as tools for voter persuasion and mobilisation. The study aims to contribute with insights on how social psychological dynamics such as self-presentation, identity-constructions, discursive divisions between ‘ingroups’ and ‘outgroups’, strategies of persuasion, and appeals to emotions and nostalgic memories are involved in these processes. The dissertation examines blog-entries by members of the populist radical right parties the Finns Party (Perussuomalaiset) in Finland and the Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna) in Sweden during 2007-2015.

  • The “Gayfication” of Tel Aviv: Investigating Israel's Pro-Gay Brand
    UCLA Queer Cats Journal of LGBTQ Studies Title The “Gayfication” of Tel Aviv: Investigating Israel’s Pro-gay Brand Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0zv7m3m9 Journal Queer Cats Journal of LGBTQ Studies, 3(1) ISSN 2639-0256 Author Snellings, Satchie Publication Date 2019 DOI 10.5070/Q531045991 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The “Gayification” of Tel Aviv: Examining Israel’s Pro-Gay Brand Satchie Snellings New York University, Global Liberal Studies o someone informed on the modern world’s LGBT hot spots, the Tmention of Israeli homosexuality would most often connote images of a crowded pride parade or a rainbow themed beach party packed with same-sex couples and carefree attitudes. This picture, whether in a film, on a poster, or in reality, is one of Tel Aviv, the self-proclaimed “Gay Capital of the Middle East.”1 It is the most popular and well-known image of the Israeli LGBT community. The history of LGBT rights in Israel predates that of many Western nations, including the United States. Israeli gay rights ensure that all LGBT citizens receive many of the same rights to their heterosexual counterparts, albeit with less publicized shortfalls in terms of health, edu- cation and welfare laws. The greatest exception and the most significant encroachment of faith onto the legality of homosexuality is in the lack of legal gay marriage in Israel. Alongside their crafting of legal rights, the Israeli government has invested heavily in the coastal city of Tel Aviv, rebranding it as a globally recognized “gay destination.” This effort resulted in a fiscally beneficial gay tourism industry and a more positive international reputation for Israel.

  • State of Populism in Europe
    2018 State of Populism in Europe The past few years have seen a surge in the public support of populist, Eurosceptical and radical parties throughout almost the entire European Union. In several countries, their popularity matches or even exceeds the level of public support of the centre-left. Even though the centre-left parties, think tanks and researchers are aware of this challenge, there is still more OF POPULISM IN EUROPE – 2018 STATE that could be done in this fi eld. There is occasional research on individual populist parties in some countries, but there is no regular overview – updated every year – how the popularity of populist parties changes in the EU Member States, where new parties appear and old ones disappear. That is the reason why FEPS and Policy Solutions have launched this series of yearbooks, entitled “State of Populism in Europe”. *** FEPS is the fi rst progressive political foundation established at the European level. Created in 2007 and co-fi nanced by the European Parliament, it aims at establishing an intellectual crossroad between social democracy and the European project. Policy Solutions is a progressive political research institute based in Budapest. Among the pre-eminent areas of its research are the investigation of how the quality of democracy evolves, the analysis of factors driving populism, and election research.

  • The Lgbt Community in Israel: Access to the Surrogacy Procedure and Legal Right for Equality, Family Life and Parenthood
    RUCH PRAWNICZY, EKONOMICZNY I SOCJOLOGICZNY ROK LXXXIII – zeszyt 1 – 2021 https://doi.org/10.14746/rpeis.2021.83.1.7 YAEL ILANY*, NETTA ILANY** THE LGBT COMMUNITY IN ISRAEL: ACCESS TO THE SURROGACY PROCEDURE AND LEGAL RIGHT FOR EQUALITY, FAMILY LIFE AND PARENTHOOD I. INTRODUCTION In Israel, the surrogacy procedure for procreation has been performed and regulated under law since 1996, in contrast to Poland where surrogacy is un- regulated, and to some EU Member States who ban surrogacy. The article focuses on the right to parenthood of LGBT1 people in Israel and their access to surrogacy. That LGBT people have attained rights equal to those of hetero- sexual people in Israel is demonstrated through the issue of surrogacy, in light of a recent Supreme Court ruling.2 The President of the Supreme Court Ester Hayut determined in HCJ 781/15 that the Surrogacy Law3 and the Egg Donation Law4 together create the surrogacy procedure (hereinafter: ‘surrogacy arrangement’ or ‘surrogacy procedure’), harm in an unproportion- able manner single men and male couples’ constitutional rights to equality * Yael Ilany, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, [email protected], https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6111-1730. ** Netta Ilany, Advocate, Tel Aviv, Israel, [email protected], https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9413-4266. 1 LGBTQ+: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and the ‘plus’ is inclusive of other groups, such as asexual, intersex, queer, questioning, etc. (hereinafter: ‘LGBT’ or ‘LGBT commu- nity’, or ‘LGBT people’). 2 HCJ 781/15 Etai Arad Pinkas v Committee for Approval of Agreements of Embryo Carrying According to Embryo Carrying Agreement Law (Approval of Agreement and Status of the New- born) 1996, and others, partial decision 27 Feburuary 2020 (hereinafter: ‘HCJ 781/15 2020’ or ‘second partial decision’).
