Hikeä, naurua ja nokea : naisten kokemuksia tehdastyöstä toisen maailmansodan aikana
No full textKirsi-Maria Hytönen ja Eerika Koskinen-Koivisto kuvaavat vähäiselle huomiolle jääneitä naisten kokemuksia tehdastyöstä talvi- ja jatkosodan ajalta. Eri-ikäiset naiset tekivät tuolloin raskasta ruumiillista työtä suomalaisessa teollisuudessa, "miesten paikalla". Millainen tämä kokemus "miesten maailmasta" oli ja miten se heijastui näiden ihmisten kertomuksissa vuosikymmeniä myöhemmin?peerReviewe

Get PDFThe Woman in the Attic of Linnais – The Meeting of Gothic, Ambivalence and Otherness
“Does Finland have an aristocracy?” This is how the writer and historian Zacharias Topelius begins his serial story Gröna kammarn på Linnais gård (“The Green Room at Linnais Manor”, 1859), which was published in Helsingfors Tidningar (1859) and later on in the first part of Topelius’s collected works Vinterqvällar (“Winter Tales”, 1880), both in Swedish and in Finnish.
The first sentence of the story reveals its central theme: the decaying power of the nobility and the rise of the middle class. The line between them is, however, anything but clear. Nobility is represented at the same time as a useless historical relic and as a tempting call from the past. The same ambivalence concerns the other central theme of the story: supernaturalness. Topelius offers a possibility of the supernatural, but gives a rational explanation to the apparently supernatural phenomena. However, this rationalizing does not remove the power which the “ghost” has over the reader.
In this story, as well as in his literary production in general, Topelius uses the Gothic genre as a social, political means to represent the old world which should be replaced with a new and a better one. The Gothic conventions, such as the figure of the ancient tyrant, the ghost, and the imprisoned woman enable the author to deal with the issues of injustice and power. The female prisoner of the Green Room, who eventually commits suicide, is a character that brings forward the different ways in which gender and class intersect and produce social inequality

No full textTexts on the Move – Women on the Move in the Literary Field of Finland, Russia, and the Soviet Union This volume examines the literary relations between Finland and Russia, focusing on the reception of women writers. Spanning two centuries, it takes us from the 1840s to today’s literary bloggers and digital media. “Reception” is understood broadly to include translations, press reviews, intertextual exchanges, and the physical presence of books in library collections. At the center of the book are the many women – past and present – who have transmitted ideas and ideologies: authors, translators, journalists, and scholars. The book is the outcome of long-term collaboration among seasoned researchers. It shows that women have always been vital literary intermediaries in both Russia and Finland. The volume brings to light numerous women writers and cultural actors who have long languished in the shadow of Russia’s male classics, thus opening up a new perspective on the history of literary reception. It not only enriches but also corrects the existing literary and cultural history between Finland, Russia, and the Soviet Union by generating new knowledge about the roles women have played. Methodologically, the contributors combine deep literary-historical expertise with the innovative use of digital corpora. The findings of the research project that this book introduces are gathered in an open-access database, which will serve future generations of historians and literary scholars. Written in the midst of crisis – while Russia continues its invasion in Ukraine – this book is all the more timely, as it is crucial to understand how culture, literature, and language are involved in creating geopolitical relations. Studying women writers’ oeuvres and reception, as well as their cultural and political activism, casts a new light on the conflicting images of Russia that Finnish readers have interpreted across different eras, often behind various masks and veils
