How Will Technology Change Our Future?

By: Elina Hiltunen,Kari Hiltunen

Technology constantly evolves, usually slowly and insidiously – but always just as surely. Things that are currently being developed in laboratories will be in the public domain as different products and applications perhaps as soon as in a few years’ time, and as more refined versions in around ten years’ time. This book deals with the future of technology, and explores the influence new technologies may have on life within the next twenty years. It is divided into three parts, the first of which discusses technological development and the forces and counter-forces related to it. This section also reviews how advances in technology are forecasted, and what kinds of parties make these predictions, and provides examples of forecasts for the next couple of decades. The second part of the book investigates the various areas of technology and their related trends. This section discusses current technological studies which may have concrete impacts in everyday life in a few decades, such as those in the fields of energy, transportation, biotechnology, materials, ICT, robotics, medical technology and space technology. The third part of the book introduces the authors’ visions of how technology may develop by 2035, and presents three different scenarios, or future worlds. These will demonstrate the possible directions in which technological development can take us. The scenarios are introduced through two main characters, Romeo and Juliet (adapted from Shakespeare’s play) in the year 2035. Even though technology is constantly changing, the writers believe that, even years into the future, the significance of human relations will remain the greatest influence on human life.

Sexual Feelings

Reading Anglophone Caribbean Women’s Writing Through Affect

By: Elina Valovirta

The present book offers a reader-theoretical model for approaching anglophone Caribbean women’s writing through affects, emotions, and feelings related to sexuality, a prominent theme in the literary tradition. How does an affective framework help us read this tradition of writing that is so preoccupied with sexual feelings? The novelists discussed in the book – chiefly Erna Brodber, Opal Palmer Adisa, Edwidge Danticat, Shani Mootoo, and Oonya Kempadoo – are representative of various anglophone Caribbean island cultures and English-speaking back¬grounds. The study makes astute use of the theoretical writings of such scholars as Sara Ahmed, Milton J. Bennett, Sue Campbell, Linden Lewis, Evelyn O’Callaghan, Lizabeth Paravisini – Gebert, Lynne Pearce, Elspeth Probyn, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Rei Terada, as well as the critical writings of Adisa, Brodber, Kempadoo, to shape an individual, focused argument. The works of the creative artists treated, and this volume, hold sexuality and emo¬tions to be vital for meaning-production and knowledge-negotiation across diffe¬rences (be they culturally, geographi¬cally or otherwise marked) that chal¬lenge the postcolonial reading process. Elina Valovirta is a Post-Doctoral Fellow employed by the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies (TIAS) and stationed in the Department of English, University of Turku, Finland. She has published on Caribbean women’s writing in English, feminist pedagogy, and cultural studies.

Masennuksesta selviää!

By: Elina Hiltunen

Masennuksesta parantuneiden tapauskertomuksia ja uusinta tietoa masennuksen hoidosta. Loistava vertaistukikirja! Joka viides suomalainen sairastuu masennukseen elämänsä aikana, ja yli puolella sairaus uusiutuu. Naiset sairastuvat miehiä tavallisemmin. Masentuminen näkyy olemuksessa, mutta tuntuu myös fyysisinä kipuina kehossa. Onneksi uusien hoitomenetelmien kehittäminen on vilkasta. Masennuksesta selviää! on kirja, jossa potilaat kertovat miten he ovat parantuneet keskivaikeasta tai vaikeasta masennuksesta. Masennuksen asiantuntijat selvittävät, miten uudet menetelmät tehostavat masennuksen hoitoa jo nyt. Kirjassa puhutaan masennuksen taustatekijöistä, masennustilan tunnistamisesta ja sen erottamisesta muista sairauksista. Masennuksen hoidossa toimivat hoitomuodot esitellään Käypä hoito -suosituksen mukaisesti. Lisäksi kirjassa puhutaan uusimpaan tieteelliseen tutkimukseen pohjautuen näitä hoitoja tukevasta itsehoidosta, esimerkiksi liikunnasta ja ravinnosta. Kirjan toimittavat tuottaja Elina Hiltunen (vas.) ja tietokirjailija Elina Hiltunen (kyllä, kirjoittajat ovat täysnimikaimoja). Kirjoittajina he pyrkivät katsomaan masennuksen hoitoa ennen kaikkea masennuksesta selviytyneiden potilaiden silmin. Heillä on myös kokemusta masennuspotilaan roolista ja kirjan tarkoitus onkin tuoda ihmisen ääni esille sairauden takaa. DI, KTT Elina Hiltunen on futuristi ja tietokirjailija. Elinalla on omakohtaista kokemusta masennuksesta parinkymmenen vuoden takaa. BA, YTM Elina Hiltunen työskentelee tuottajana Ylen uutis- ja ajankohtaistoiminnassa. Hän on kiinnostunut politiikasta, psykologiasta ja kokonaisvaltaisesta hyvinvoinnista.
