Muistikulttuurien välissä: Inkerinsuomalaisuus Näkemiin Neuvostoliitto -elokuvassa ja sen ylirajaisessa vastaanotossa
Artikkelissa tarkastelemme Näkemiin Neuvostoliitto -elokuvaa ja sen ylirajaista vastaanottoa suhteessa Viron ja Suomen toisistaan poikkeaviin muistikulttuureihin. Tutkimme, miten inkerinsuomalaisuutta representoidaan elokuvassa ja millaisiin inkeriläisten historiaan liittyviin prosesseihin siinä viitataan. Muistitarjouman (mnemonic affordance) teoreettista käsitettä hyödyntäen analysoimme, kuinka elokuva Suomen ja Viron mediassa otettiin vastaan …

Memory Ideologies of Two Presents: Aatami Kuortti's Testimonies of the Gulag and Soviet Terror of Ingrian Finns
This article attends to literary testimonies of the Gulag and Soviet terror by an Ingrian Finnish man called Aatami Kuortti from the perspective of cultural memory. By analyzing two testimonies by Kuortti published in Finland in 1934 and 1964, the article focuses on "memory ideologies," namely, the underlying conceptions concerning the nature, functions, and consequences of memory reflected in the testimonies. Contextualizing the works with respe…

Affordances of memorability: Finnish reception of the oppression of Ingrian Finns in the Soviet Union
By addressing recent discussions on reception within the field of memory studies, this article aims to analyze the reasons for the alleged absence of public memory relating to the history of Ingria and the experiences of Ingrian Finns in Finland by focusing on Inkerin romaani (2002), a posthumous novel by Toivo Pekkanen. Through analysis of three scales of reception, the article explores the dynamics of memory and affordances of memorability. It …
Memory, Heritage, and Tradition in the Museum Exhibition Ingrians - The Forgotten Finns
In this article we explore relations between personal, collective, private, and public dimensions of remembrance in the context of the Ingrians - The Forgotten Finns exhibition presented at the National Museum of Finland in 2020 by analyzing it through the lenses of memory, heritage, and tradition. We argue that while promoting remembrance of allegedly absent pasts and experiences of a forgotten group of people, the exhibition simultaneously reli…
Mikä vernakulaari
Tämän teemanumeron aihe on vernakulaarin käsite. Numeron neljässä artikkelissa vernakulaaria lähestytään käsitehistoriallisesta ja tapaustutkimusten näkökulmasta. Artikkeleissa tarkastellaan ensinnäkin sitä, minkälaisia merkityksiä vernakulaarin käsitteellä on ollut eri aikoina. Toiseksi niissä eritellään, minkälainen asema vernakulaarin käsitteellä sekä sille annetuilla merkityksillä on ollut eri tieteenaloilla ja niiden tutkimuskohteiden määrit…

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan muistelun aineellisuutta ja muistamisen välineiden yhteistoimintaa kolmen tapausesimerkin kautta, jotka kaikki edustavat tavalla tai toisella omaehtoista muistamista. Siinä analysoidaan minkälaisia merkityksiä muistelun materiaalisuuden ja muistamisen medioiden yhteistoiminnan analyysi tuo esiin muistelusta ja historian tuottamisesta vernakulaarina toimintana. Artikkeli paikantuu muistitietotutkimuksen kentälle, jossa o…
Points and poetics of memory: (Retrospective) justice in oral history interviews of former internees
By adopting the idea of points of memory, this article engages with oral history interviews of former child and youth internees of Finland, most of them children of German fathers and Finnish mothers. The article analyzes how points of memory emerge and performatively operate in reminiscing by focusing on personal accounts that revolve around material objects. In particular, points of memory will be analyzed in what follows by applying the concep…
Tellability, frame and silence: The emergence of internment memory
On the basis of the September 1944 Moscow Armistice agreement between Finland, the Soviet Union and the UK, the Finnish government was obliged to intern German and Hungarian citizens in Finland. Applying the concepts of “tellability” and “frame”, I examine how individuals (most of them children of German fathers and Finnish mothers) who were interned as minors and young people in Finland in 1944–1946 describe silence and the rupture of silence. I…
The Return: Intertextuality of the Reminiscing of Karelian Evacuees in Finland
In this article, I examine the intertextuality of reminiscence writings of Karelian evacuees in Finland. The main topics of these writings are the two journeys of evacuation from the ceded Karelia to Finland, which writers experienced as children during and after the Second World War, and journeys back to the region of their childhood, which became possible after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the case of negotiations surrounding spatiotemp…
