He was particularly interested in medieval art and provided financial support for the restoration of several medieval churches. The Amos Anderson Museum has a collection of old art that consists mainly of religious art.

The 1980s was a tempestuous decade in the Finnish visual arts, a time when walls were broken down and a new generation of artists with highly individual ways of thinking emerged. Young artists made pieces that not only took over the Finnish museums and galleries, but also found success in the wider world. This book places these developments in art into a broader social context: what really happened in the art of the 1980s?

What did it mean? What aspects of it have proved enduring?

Agents and Objects Children in Pre-Modern Europe This volume is a result of two interwoven projects, which main concern was the role and agency of children, and an attempt to find out the extent to which we are able to reach and understand the agency of children and young people in different circumstances in Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

It attempts to reveal parts of the role of children of different social levels that have been neglected in previous research and widen the spectrum of scholarship on children and youth in the premodern era.

The Genre of Early Modern English Statutes: Complexity in Historical Legal Language

Registers of Communication In any society, communicative activities are organized into models of conduct that differentiate specific social practices from each other and enable people to communicate with each other in ways distinctive to those practices.

The articles in this volume investigate a series of localespecific models of communicative conduct, or registers of communication, through which persons organize their participation in varied social practices.

This study assesses the diachronic development of complexity in Early Modern English parliamentary acts and proclamations between 1491 and 1707. The work defines complexity as the number, variety and organization of linguistic elements and incorporates new linguistic features for the investigation. How do complexity features function in historical legal writing? How do the features develop diachronically and how systematic are the genres on their linguistic elements?

CULTURAL STUDIES, ETHNOLOGY, POPULATION STUDIES Timo Kallinen

Divine Rulers in a Secular State In present-day Africa traditional chieftaincy is perceived essentially as a secular institution. Yet it was only a few decades ago that classic ethnographers were characterizing chiefs as priests, magicians, diviners, rainmakers, and the like.

What happened to the divinity of African chiefs and kings? Drawing on his research on the Asante people of Ghana, West Africa, Timo Kallinen explores how the colonial and postcolonial states have attempted to secularize the sacred institutions of chiefship and kingship.

Culture, Language and Globalization among the Moldavian Csángós Today This volume takes a new look at the Moldavian Csángós, an enigmatic group of people whose very existence as a group has been debated since the 19th century.

The Csángós form a historical minority consisting of Roman Catholics that speak a Hungarian vernacular and live in an Orthodox region of Moldavia in North-East Romania. The articles in this volume include new perspectives on the qualitative research of minority groups through the presentation of in-depth research on the Csángós.

Bicultural competence in the context of remigration This study focuses on remigration, a case of mobility where an individual moves from his own instigation and continues relocating, returning and leaving again. At the age of globalization, competence to communicate interand cross-culturally is valued, but is the skill recognized when someone has gained it, is it deliberately acquired or an accidental byproduct of activities motivated by something else? The main goal was to find out how these remigrators themselves view bicultural competence.

Participation, Integration and Recognition Changing Pathways to Immigrant Incorporation Who are targeted with integration policies and who are left out? In which domains of society (e.g. education, labor market and families) is integration expected to take place and at what speed?

What is the desired outcome of integration, both for immigrants and for members of the receiving society? How is this outcome measured and best achieved? The articles included in this publication show that there is no single pathway to successful immigrant integration.

Marriage, Migration and Multicultural Relationships With human mobility on the rise, multicultural marriages have become noticeably more common in the past decades. The marriage market has thus expanded over time, going from being exclusively local and national to becoming increasingly global. Marriage, in turn, has become a significant factor that influences migration.

This book looks at marriage migration and multicultural marriages from a wide range of viewpoints and takes into account the spectrum of dynamism.

Inclusion or Exclusion?

Trade Union Strategies and Labor Migration

This study identifies and analyzes immigration-related strategies of the Finnish Construction Trade Union (FCTU) and the Service Union United (SUU). It also analyzes the experiences that migrants who work in these sectors have with trade unions. The results indicate that immigration is a contradictory issue for both unions.

On the other hand, they strive to include migrants as trade union members and to defend migrants´ labor rights. On the other hand, FCTU and SUU seek to prevent labor immigration from outside the EU and EEA countries.

Emigrants’ Journey from Finland through Great Britain to North America during the Era of Mass Migration

During the “Great Emigration” in 1820–1930 ca. 42 million Europeans emigrated to North America. About 380,000 of them were Finnish. The publication takes a closer look at their journey from their home town via Great Britain to North America. Although the focus of the publication is on the journey itself, it also presents a view on the emigrants’ lives in the new homeland, the history and reasons behind Finnish emigration to America and the present-day Finnish Americans.

The History of Geographical Studies in Finland 1809– 1921 This book observes the development of geographical studies in Finland from the perspective of both the concept of geography and the discipline of geography that emerged at the end of the 19th century. It attempts to convey an understanding about the whole span of the discipline during the Imperial period in Finnish history. The period covers the voyages of M. A. Castrén, A. E. Nordenskiöld and Edward Westermarck, the founding of Finnish geological societies and the consolidation of the education of geography in the University of Helsinki.

Rethinking Mass Tourism Professional Discourses of Contemporary Mass Tourism and Destinations Mass tourism is a concept that has been used for decades in academic and public travel discussions.

Mass tourism is often used to refer to the early phases of airbased mass tourism since the 1960s, concerning the remarkable growth in tourist numbers, the democratization of tourism, the standardization of products and societal transformations. The thesis contributes a conceptualization of mass tourism by addressing the academic discourses of mass tourism and discursive practices of professional social groups.

The Architecture of the Cosmos St. Maximus the Confessor, New Perspectives

Since the rediscovery of St. Maximus in the aftermath of World War II, experts on Patristics and theologians from East and West have been keen to claim that they have the authority of St. Maximus.

Still, how could one ever settle the conflicts of interpretation when the content of this teaching remains largely unexplored? This volume presents the conference papers from The Architecture of the Cosmos Conference held in 2013 that delve together into the very structure of Maximus’ vision of the Cosmos.

PETRA – THE MOUNTAIN OF AARON. The Finnish Archeological Project in Jordan. Vol. II. The Nabataean Sanctuary and the Byzantine Monastery.

Jabal Hārūn (the Mountain of the Prophet Aaron), located near the ancient city of Petra in southern Jordan, is according to Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions, the burial place of Aaron, Moses’ brother. Since 1997, the Finnish Jabal Hārūn Project (FJHP), directed by Prof. Jaakko Frösén and funded by the Academy of Finland and the University of Helsinki, has carried out archaeological excavations at a Byzantine monastery located on the high plateau of the mountain.

The forthcoming Volume II, which is the third and final publication of the FJHP publication series, is a major exposition of all excavated structures and the material remains associated with the entire occupation of the site (1st century A.D. – 11th/12th century A.D.) , with the exception of the church and the chapel (FJHP volume I, 2008). Including 30 contributors and 23 chapters, this volume presents a wide range of subjects related to the history and archeology of the site and its structures. The publication concludes with a major presentation of the cultural history of the site. In addition, the volume is accompanied with a DVD that displays a virtual model and tour of the excavated church and the chapel.
