Studying Industrial Oral History during the Pandemic – Ethical and Methodological Questions
This article discusses an oral history project that examines homer production at the Högfors Ironworks in Karkkila. This was a cooperative project of the University of Helsinki, the Finnish Labour Archives and the Finnish Foundry Museum in Karkkila. A “homer” (firabeli in Finnish) is an object made for one’s own benefit by a worker using his or her factory’s equipment and materials. The article focuses on ethical and methodological issues affecti…
Nor Happiness, nor Majesty, nor Fame”
This article focuses on the complex relationship of socialism, working-class culture, and fin de siècle decadence in early twentieth-century Finnish working-class culture. The hegemonic ideology of the labor movement praised self-discipline and conservative literary ideals, but many working-class people were inspired by the radical writings of August Strindberg and Oscar Wilde. Furthermore, proletarian decadence was related to the pro- and anti-f…
New Research Trends in Finnish Working-Class Literature
During the last decade, Finnish working-class literature has become both a topic of lively interdisciplinary discussion and the subject of an increasing number of published studies. This issue addresses that multidisciplinary theme and presents the results of the newly revived interest by reviewing works that span a hundred years, from Elvira Willman's play Lyyli (1903) to Arto Salminen's novel Kalavale: Kansalliseepos (Epic lie: A national epic)…
Adventurers, Flâneurs, and Agitators
The article focuses on border crossings in travel stories, which were published in hand-written newspapers in 19th- and early 20th-century Finland.

Bitter Memories and Burst Soap Bubbles
This article discusses irony, parody, and satire in the oral-literary tradition of Finnish working-class youth during the first decades of the twentieth century. The most important research material is Valistaja ( The Enlightener , 1914–1925), a handwritten newspaper produced by young working-class people in the industrial town of Karkkila in southern Finland. This research material provides examples of different kinds of parody: ideological paro…
Manuscripts and Broadsheets. Narrative Genres and the Communication Circuit among Working-Class Youth in early 20th-Century Finland
This article explores the hazy boundary between folklore and literature, orality and literacy in relation to the individual and the community. How do people who belong to the first generation of active writers in their family and community express their own experiences through fictional narratives and the literary tradition? This question is explored in relation to the working-class youth in the small industrial community of Karkkila (Hgfors) in …
Festival as Ritual - Rituals in Festival
A lively new tradition of modern local festivals began in Finland at the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s. This article is based on fieldwork carried out in 1983 on two local festivals. Both the ritualistic elements and the ritual meaning of these festivals as a whole are analyzed. First, the cultural modes of the modern Finnish local festivals and also the symbolic expressions typical to each of them are outlined. Then, the ritual…
