Susanne C. Ylönen
Susanne C. Ylönen holds a PhD in Art Education and is currently a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Music, Art and Culture Studies, University of Jyväskylä. Her doctoral dissertation The Fighting Crab Monster (2016, in Finnish) explored the field of child cultural horror and delineated how different aesthetic choices such as aesthetic sublimation (fear and awe inspiring renditions), aestheticization (beautifying approaches) and aesthetic sublation (disgust inducing, possibly humorously degrading interpretations) are used within discourses such as risk speech, cute talk, psychologization and peer cultural meaning making in order to achieve particular performative aims from spreading horror to containing and ridiculing it. Currently she works on the subject of aesthetic sublation as a form of pop cultural meaning making, tracing convergences of, for example, disgust and cuteness in diverse case studies from Hodor doorstops to zombie picturebooks and violent clowns. Her research is funded by the Finnish Cultural Foundation.Susanne C.

Intercultural Dialogue in the European Education Policies:A Conceptual Approach
This open access book analyses intercultural dialogue as a concept, policy and ideal in European education policy documentation. The core European transnational organizations – the Council of Europe and the European Union – have actively promoted policies to engender inclusive societies and respond to challenges that diversification may entail. This book, in turn, offers suggestions for improving education policies in super-diversified Europe and beyond, where there is an increasing need for cultural understanding and constructive dialogue. The authors utilize concept analysis to reveal how these organizations seek to deal with dialogue between cultures, as well as weight given to cultural differences and intercultural encounters. This book will be of interest and value to scholars of intercultural dialogue and European education policies.
