Artikkelissa tarkastellaan yhtä live-tviittaamiseen liittyvää vuorovaikutuskäytännettä, televisiolle suunnattuja direktiivisiä tviittejä. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu jalkapallon MM-kisojen Ylen televisiolähetyksistä ja lähetysten aikana #ylemmfutis­aihetunnisteella lähetetyistä tviiteistä. Vaikka Twitterin kautta televisiokatsojat voivat kohdistaa viestejään paitsi toisilleen myös televisiolähetyksen osallistujille, on aiempi live-tviittaamiseen liittyvä tutkimus osoittanut, ettei televisiossa juuri vastata sille suunnattuihin viesteihin. Artikkelin päätavoitteena onkin selvittää, onko televisiolähetyksen osallistujille kohdistetuilla direktiiveiksi muotoilluilla viesteillä muita vuorovaikutuksellisia funktioita. Tutkimusmenetelmänä hyödynnetään digitaalista keskustelunanalyysia, joka soveltaa perinteisen keskustelunanalyysin välineitä ja käsitteistöä teknologiavälitteisen vuorovaikutuksen analysoimiseen. Tarkastelemalla rinnan televisiolähetystä ja tviittejä artikkelissa havainnollistetaan, miten live-tviittaajat rakentavat sekventiaalisuutta inter­mediaalisesti suuntautuen samanaikaisesti meneillään olevaan lähetykseen ja muihin live-tviittaajiin.  Tutkimus osoittaa, että direktiiveiksi muotoilluilla tviiteillä ei (pelkästään) pyritä ohjaamaan televisiolähetyksen osallistujien toimintaa, vaan niiden kautta tviittaaja voi näyttää muille live-tviittaajille virheitä ja epäkohtia esimerkiksi selostuksessa tai tuomaritoiminnassa ja arvioida ja arvottaa samalla tätä lähetyksessä meneillään olevaa toimintaa. Analysoimalla aloitusviestien lisäksi myös niiden saamia vastauksia osoitetaan, että tviittajat suuntautuvat toistensa direktiivisissä viesteissä ohjailufunktion sijaan siihen affektiseen kannanottoon, jota viestin tulkitaan välittävän.   “Get real, Litti!”: Directives addressed to the television in tweets with the hashtag #ylemmfutis This article examines the interactional practice of live tweeting, specifically manifested in directive tweets addressed to the television. The data comprises FIFA World Cup broadcasts on Yle (the Finnish Broadcasting Company) and tweets with the hashtag #ylemmfutis (‘#yleworldcup’) sent during those broadcasts. Although Twitter enables the connection not only between television viewers but also between a viewer and a participant on TV, some previous studies have shown that television actors do not ­generally respond to such unsolicited messages. Thus, the main objective of this article is to investigate whether these directive tweets represent any other interactional functions. Methodologically, the article draws on digital conversation analysis, which applies tools and concepts from conversation analysis in the analysis of technologically­mediated communication. By examining the broadcast and tweets simultaneously, the article shows how live-tweeters construct sequentiality in an intermedial way by simultaneously orienting both to the ongoing broadcast and other live-tweeters. The study shows that tweets designed as directives are not (only) meant to guide the actions of television actors, but through these tweets a tweeter can point out mistakes and flaws (e.g. in the commentary or refereeing) to other live-tweeters and evaluate the action in question. By analysing responses to initiative tweets, I show that instead of a directive function, the tweeters orient to the affective assessment of the messages.

This dissertation presents the phenomenon of social television by focusing on the interplay between the traditional broadcast media and the newer social media in the context of the FIFA World Cup. The aim of the study is to shed light on interactional practices that are generated in the intersection of television and Twitter. Through the lens of digital discourse and conversation analysis the study examines how the participation in a media event is constructed in live tweeting practices. The dissertation shows that social media have offered new ways of participating and enjoying television content but have not replaced the role of traditional television as a central medium for experiencing massive media events such as the FIFA World Cup.

This study aims to determine the best player in each position from among the footballers who played in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Player statistics for those who played over 200 minutes were obtained from the FIFA official and transfermarkt.com websites. Selected performance variables were then calculated per 100 minutes and the results were normalised. Kruskal Wallis H and Bonferroni Tests were used to determine the weights of the variables before the analysis. As the variables will have different values according to the players’ positions, the weights for each position were calculated separately. Finally, the performances of the players on the basis of the variables used were ranked for each position using the TOPSIS method. A second analysis was undertaken including only those players whose ages were under 28 and goalkeepers whose ages were under 32. The purpose of this analysis was to identify players with potential that had been largely unrecognised up until the tournament. It was found that both the teams selected in this way were dominated by players from European clubs. Ninety-two percent of the top sixty players in the analysis were playing in European leagues with 85% playing in Spain, England, Italy, Germany, France or Russia.

AbstractWe conducted an audit experiment to examine whether street vendors in Bogotá (Colombia) exert price discrimination based on buyers’ attributes, such as gender and nationality, and based on product characteristics, such as the increasing marginal valuation of items needed to complete a collection. We exploited the seasonal demand for album stickers related to the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018. In our within-subjects design, experimenters carried out in-person audits and quoted a pre-determined list of missing stickers. They interacted with 59 sticker vendors located in five geographic clusters and collected 287 vendor–buyer interactions. We find that prices quoted to foreign buyers are higher than prices quoted to Colombian buyers. By contrast, we do neither find evidence supporting direct gender-based discrimination, nor that vendors charge a higher price per sticker when the list of missing stickers is shorter. We complement the study with a qualitative analysis based on interviews that reveal vendors’ pricing strategies, their awareness of price discrimination, and the trade of counterfeits. The qualitative results suggest that price discrimination appears to be unconscious.

This study examines whether increases in incidents of female domestic abuse occur during FIFA world cup tournaments, in countries, other than the UK. Columbian medical records providing national daily counts, relating to Violence Against Women (VAW) and females subject to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), across two world cup tournaments (2014/2018) were analysed. The number of medical examinations rose by 43% (VAW) and 39% (IPV) during the 2014 Columbia match days, and 26% (VAW) and 27% (IPV) during the 2018 match days, when compared to non-match days (p < .001). The increases were higher on a weekend and when winning, rather than losing.
