Continuous Exposition in Mozart's Slow Chamber‐Music Movements
The literature on continuous exposition is characterised by two features: (1) concentration on the music of Haydn and (2) the examination of fast movements. This essay deviates from these starting points by examining Mozart's slow movements. The aim is to give close readings of a small number of works taken from a limited corpus rather than to provide an overview of Mozart's slow continuous expositions. The works concerned are the slow movements …

What Politics? Youth and Political Engagement in Africa examines the diverse experiences of being young in today's Africa.

Young People in Reception Centres
Global migration poses particular concerns for children and young people. Eighty per cent of asylum seekers moving to Finland in autumn 2015 were under the age of 35. In spite of statistics like these, the consequences of global migration on children and young people are seldom mentioned in policy and youth research. Young People in Reception Centres aims to address this research gap by drawing on the work of youth researchers and specialists wor…
New Challenges for Nordic Welfare Services
This article summarises the results of a two-phase research project, which concentrated on leisure practices of ethnic minority youth and their expectations on multicultural youth services. The question is how youth work as 'cultureless' principles of Nordic welfare universalism function in contemporary social conditions. Have youth workers and administrative authorities adopted multicultural demands of increasing ethnic diversity? The case of Fi…
Multiculturalism and young people’s leisure spaces in Finland
The article sums up the main results of a research project Multicultural Youth, Leisure and Participation in Civic Activities carried out in Finland 2004–2007. Through empirical analyses, interpretations can be made concerning the readiness of youth's leisure communities to adapt to the situation where their members are more and more diverse with regard to their cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Formal education and labour market are crucial but n…
Membership Contests
This article discusses different aspects of social and societal membership, when minority groups of young immigrants living in Finland are under consideration. During its history, Finland has mainly been a country of emigration. In the 1990s the direction of moving turned to the contrary and the amount of immigrants in Finland increased relatively quickly. Especially, young people now meet this new condition in their everyday surroundings: at sch…
Finnish youth cultural research and its relevance to youth policy
This article intends to outline major characteristics, theoretical and empirical traditions, and ideologies and discourses related to Finnish youth cultural research. Historically speaking, the cultural socialization of the young Finnish nation after independence was a very special national project: ‘young’ citizens were socialized in a patronizing and enlightening manner to become true and loyal Finns. Diverse popular and youth cultural phenomen…
Hierarchies of difference
Cultural studies regarding contemporary group formation have often been developed in abstraction from concrete social and material circumstances. This article suggests that discussions concerning the increased flexibility of contemporary group formation need further theoretical elaboration and closer empirical consideration. The article focuses on the role of difference in the creation of group memberships within the particular social circumstanc…
