Finland Swedish Folklore Studies
Due to historical and political matters, what is, today, called Finland was a part of Sweden until 1809. Thereafter, the region was an autonomous Grand Duchy in the Russian Empire. Beside Latin, for a long time, Swedish was the language of the authorities, of education, and partly of science and scholarship. Not until the Russian time Finnish played an important role as a language outside the private sphere. German and Russian, respectively, were…

What Can We Do Today With Old Records of Folk Belief? On the Example of Devil Lore
In the wake of recent demands for research serving society, old archived folklore records have been challenged as worthless except as material for a bonfire because most records lack enough contextual information for a folklorist to be able to say anything about the situation in which a narrative was performed. What can a folklorist do with such texts? This article offers several suggestions for how to use archived folklore records for different …
Still, I Can Hardly Believe It
There are innumerable nuances in people's behaviour when they become frustrated. In this article I analyse interviews about a specific case when, in a relatively small Lutheran community, it turned out that a highly respected person, a leader and preacher, was a paedophile. The reluctant accepter, the disappointed accepter, and the explaining accepter are three types of narrators. What were their reactions, what resources did they apply in our co…

Greed and Work in Finland-Swedish Folklore
Greed, or avarice, is one of the cardinal sins. Protestant Swedish Finn folklore demonstrates expressions of greed, even if the actual term is not mentioned. In folk religion Christian norms and values are combined with elements of folk belief. Theologians certainly clarify the gospel, but how lay people have implemented it should also be considered. With the help of proverbs and folklore legends from rural Swedish-Finland in the nineteenth centu…

Coping Mechanisms among the Finland-Swedes
This paper demonstrates how the Finland-Swedes maintain their right to receive service in their mother tongue, Swedish, although they make up a relatively small minority in Finland. Approximately 300,000 out of five million inhabitants in Finland define themselves as Swedish speakers. This paper draws from theories of coping formulated by Kenneth I. Pargament and provides an overview of historical and recent times. The general relevant coping mec…

Saint Lucy, the Queen of Light. The Legend and Folklore of Saint Lucy
The Feast of Saint Lucy is celebrated on December 13 by a girl wearing a white gown and candles that visits a crowded church. This article investigates the senses mentioned in newspaper reports describing this ceremony. I explain why some senses are not mentioned at all, and I relate my findings to thoughts about the senses as elements of a cultural system guided by power, experiences, and expectations that make up the sense of tradition. *** Pra…
Contrasts as a Narrative Technique in Emigrant Accounts
Contrasts contribute to the way in which we view the world. In folklore and in everyday narration, people use contrasts as a descriptive technique. The aim of this paper is to investigate this narrative technique by analysing the accounts of Swedish-speaking Finns who have emigrated to South Africa. As an analytical tool I use the three classical ethnological-folkloristic dimensions of time, place, and social setting when I examine how the emigra…
Das Einläuten des Sonntags
The Ringing In ofthe Sabbath - The ringing in of the Sabbath is a custom typical of Finland and Sweden. The custom has medieval roots, but it has acquired several different meanings during the last five centuries. In my paper I deal with these different meanings and the ways in which today’s people evaluate our own age using nostalgic narration

Popular Cosmology on the Threshold of the 20th Century
The basis of my study is formed by a written material which was gathered in 1903 amongst Swedish-speaking Finns. Seven subject areas are covered: religion, mother tongue, geography, general history, arithmetic, geometry, and knowledge of nature. Several questions are answered according to an understanding of the world which is based on three aspects: the different subjects' own experience of physical existence, the teaching of the Church, and in …
The Devil between Nature and Culture
Though devotional literature has its roots in the Church, one of the most civilised spheres of culture, the devil of this genre can be said to represent nature. He is depicted as a fear-inducing being and as a tempter in uncivilised, naturalistic terms. In folklore, which is looked upon as a natural, uncivilised, sphere of culture, he represents both culture and nature. As a fear-inducing being, the devil bears characteristics indicative of cultu…
