Lama-ajan joutilaat miehet viihteessä: Noora Kallioniemi (2022) Armotonta menoa! Työttömät ja joutilaat miehet 1990-luvun lama-ajan suomalaisessa komediaviihteessä
War, transgenerational memory and documentary film: Mediated and institutional memory in historical culture
This article makes use of history documentary films to examine mediated historical culture and memory narrated by media. It particularly focuses on transgenerational dimensions of memory in media representations – the idea of how collective memories are transmitted through media to a second generation of people who did not directly experience the actual events but who nonetheless have often been exposed to the traumatic tensions of the first gene…
Kun Suomi kiinnosti Lontoota
Yksi kylmän sodan ajan informaatiovaikuttamisen ja propagandan erityispiirre pohjoismaisessa kontekstissa oli brittiläisen julkisen palvelun yhtiö BBC:n suomenkielisten lähetysten jatkuminen aina vuoteen 1997 saakka. BBC aloitti lyhytaaltolähetykset toisen maailmansodan aikana kaikissa Pohjoismaissa niiden omilla kielillä heti vuonna 1940, pari vuotta BBC:n vieraskielisten lähetysten aloittamisesta, ja lähetyksiä jatkettiin ensimmäisen kylmän sod…
Temporalities and Theory in Media History
This essay discusses what the topical approaches to history—digital history and different concepts of historical temporality—have to offer for media history studies especially in terms of defining a common theory of media history. The outcome of the essay is that since often media historical approaches essentially take the plurality of media historical time and the layering of media forms for granted, these new trends do not provide a key for a ‘…

Campaigning between East and West: Finland and the Cold War in the presidential campaign films of Urho Kekkonen

During the Cold War, Finland was governed by Urho Kekkonen as President for 25 years (1956–81). The authors look at Kekkonen’s campaign films to see how his public image was meticulously planned and systematically shaped to create an almost mythical figure. The political and media contex…

The political public sphere is at one and the same time both public, and private and religion operates in both the public and the private spheres in the modern way of life. This article approaches the dynamics between the cultural and the political public sphere from the point of view of religion; how the cultural intelligentsia developed its worldview fuelled with attitudes towards religion in times of political turmoil. The case study, based on…
Media History and the Mediatization of Everyday Life
Mediatization became a central concept in media studies in the 2000s, and it has also attracted critical discussion among media scholars. One part of the criticism of the concept concerns its relevance in relation to the history of media. In this article, I discuss the concept of mediatization in media history studies, especially when it comes to everyday life. I am predominantly interested in its ‘weak form’—particularly the idea that mediatizat…

The new technological means and approaches have also provided new opportunities for filmmakers in the field of history documentaries. In this article, we are interested i…

Building the New Cultural Finland: The student magazine Ylioppilaslehti , the public sphere and the creation of the Finnish cultural elite in the post-war era

This article studies the role of Ylioppilaslehti in creating the Finnish public sphere in the post-war decades. On the one hand, this was a period in which the political position of Finland was unstable, but, on the other, the students experienced ‘a hunger for culture’. The article is also interested in what role Ylioppilaslehti played in…
