A list of fungi in Tartu City (Estonia): Agaricales, Boletales, and Russulales
Get PDFAltogether, here are listed 172 fungal species from Tartu based on the field notebooks of the first author and dried fruit bodies in the fungarium of the Estonian University of Life Sciences (acronym TAAM). The list mostly includes common Estonian species, among which two are nature-protected species (Caloboletus radicans and Leucocoprinus nympharum) and three are deadly poisonous species (Amanita phalloides, Inosperma erubescens, and Lepiota brunneoincarnata)
Between Wounds and Witness: Memory and the Relational Fabric of Repair
Get PDFThis editorial examines trauma as a multidimensional phenomenon – psychological, cultural, political, and embodied – that profoundly shapes individual lives and people’s sense of connection to shared histories. Situating the discussion within contemporary global crises and scholarly debates, it draws on key concepts from trauma theory, including Caruth’s understanding of trauma as “unclaimed experience”, Hirsch’s postulation of “postmemory”, and van der Kolk’s work on embodied trauma. Emphasising relationality, it explores how trauma circulates across generations and geographies, mediated through storytelling, witnessing, and affective transmission. It reflects on the limits of dominant Western frameworks and highlights the need for culturally situated approaches that account for diverse historical and social conditions. The special issue it introduces brings together scholars who explore the representation and repair of trauma through literature, testimony, historical sources, and aesthetics, foregrounding the role of narrative in fostering connection, resilience, and ethical responsibility in the face of rupture
The Authenticity of Trauma and Depression in Drama: A Clinician’s View of the Possibilities of Art
Get PDFTrauma and depression often go hand in hand. Depression can develop without traumatic events, but with trauma there are almost always depressive episodes. Going through trauma is dreadful, but the real challenge is to live with the memories. That is where depression, flashbacks and anxiety come into focus. Depression and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) are treated by psychotherapy and antidepressants, but culture can add a lot to the coping and comprehension processes and to dealing with disorders. Specifically, drama can mirror and help to create a narrative, showing different ways to solve difficulties. In addition, theatre can be a place for discussion or to bring up stigmatised topics. It is more and more essential to destigmatise and share information, but also to find and integrate new interventions into psychotherapy to help patients.
In my paper I have three main goals. First, I compare and show how drama can portray particular symptoms of trauma and depression. For this I use plays by renowned English playwright Sarah Kane (4.48 Psychosis) and young Estonian playwright Heneliis Notton (Emesis), and symptom lists and descriptions from ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision). Second, I show psychological processes of reception and how they can offer possibilities to work through traumatic events and comorbid disorders, and to learn about them. Third, I offer examples of how drama can be used in therapy or be part of so-called psychoeducation. As I work as a psychologist, I would like to offer an insight from the perspective of psychotherapy and demonstrate the role of art in healing
The Russian Sonnet
Get PDFThis article describes the Russian sonnet as a verse structure. Highlighting the many deviations and innovations poets introduced – from adapting Petrarchan and Shakespearean models to radical experiments – the study shows how the sonnet’s diversity has made it one of the most resilient forms in Russian poetry.

Kibe! Kibe! Pulmast, riitusest ja õnne lootusest
Get PDF2024. aasta suvel esietendus rahvusvahelisel etenduskunstide festivalil Baltoscandal lavastus „KIBE!“ (idee autor ja lavastaja Robin Täpp), kus noored etenduskunstnikud võtsid vaatluse alla pulmade pidamise tausta, sisu ja tähenduse minevikus ning tänapäeval. Abielule ja armastusele esitati küsimusi selles samas pulma vormis: etendus algas laulatustega, millele järgnes joviaalne, seltskondlik ja üha tumenev pidu. Mängis bänd, peeti kõnesid, söödi rosoljet ja tervitati noorpaari. Tavadest, ootustest ja eelarvamustest tiine pulma sisse kuhjati halastamatult lisakihte – mõjusaid tsitaate kirjandusest, muusikast, visuaalkultuurist ja tegelikkusest, mis tipnes deliiriumiga. Artiklis analüüsime lavastust „KIBE!“ kui mitmekihilist teksti. Selleks määratleme, mis tekstidest lavastus koosnes ja mis võis nende tähendus olla. Samuti analüüsime, kuidas avaldusid lavastuses pulma kaks külge: pulm kui siirderiitus ja pulm kui kultuurietendus. Artiklis uurime, missugune suhe ja pinge tekstide vahel tekkis ning millist mõju see vastuvõtule avaldas.
Abstract. Karmen Juhkam, Eleriin Miilman: til death do us part: Rituals, love, and hope for happiness. In the summer of 2024, a wedding took place at the international performance arts festival Baltoscandal in Rakvere, Estonia – but it was no ordinary wedding. KIBE! (conceived and directed by Robin Täpp) was a performative production in the form of a wedding, where young performance artists explored the traditions, meanings, and transformations of marriage – past and present – through the rite of passage itself. The audience witnessed two wedding ceremonies, enjoyed a festive dinner filled with tradition, toasts, and joyful band music, with the atmosphere slowly shifting towards the unreal and unsettling. Thoughts of doubt start appearing through quotes from literature, visual culture and music, culmi nating in a state of delirium. This article analyses KIBE! as a multilayered text, primarily focusing on how the different texts interact and create new meanings. In addition, the analysis will focus on the double framing of KIBE! as a performance and as a wedding that in itself is a rite of passage and a cultural performance
