Talonpoikainen kansa liikkeessä
Arvioitu teos: Konsta Kajander: Talonpoika, herra, puoliherra. Etnologinen tutkimus puoliherra-kategorioista ja talonpoikaisuuden kulttuurisista malleista suomalaisissa sanomaleh- dissä 1847–1870. JYU dissertations 325. Jyväskylän yliopisto 2020. 220 s. ISBN 978-951-39-8428-1
The Emergence of a Nationalistic Vernacular
This article discusses ethnic folklore as mirroring the ideals of peasant culture in Finland until the first half of the twentieth century. Using folk narratives about the Finnish Roma and proverbs as told by Finnish rural peasants, I investigate how such elements of everyday communication laid bare notions of social hierarchies. Historically, the sense of belonging to a nation has often been “invented” by the majority or by the people in power. …
Core Citizens, Imagined Nation
Historically, since the 1930s, Finland, much like the other Nordic countries, has rested upon ideas of openness and civic participation as a political project of modernity. The core principle has been that of a comprehensive welfare state-in Sweden, referred to as folkhemmet ('the People's home'), a society with social equality and solidarity between all citizens (e.g., This was initially a response to what has been called the breakthrough of mas…
Half-gentlemen – Goal-Oriented and Rational Peasants
The doctoral study of Konsta Kajander, a Jyväskylä-based ethnologist, is an interesting approach to examining the Finnish peasantry in the mid-nineteenth century.Kajander analyzes social categories related to the term "half-gentleman" in the Finnish press during this time.Half-gentleman was a pejorative name for male members of the peasantry and the rural working class who, according to their critics, tried to look or behave like a member of a hi…
Miten kansasta tulee vernakulaari
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan kansa-käsitteen käyttöä ja siihen liittyviä muutoksia ja jännitteitä Suomessa pitkällä aikavälillä 1820-luvulta 2010-luvulle. Aineistolähtöisessä artikkelissa analysoidaan neljän tapausesimerkin avulla sitä, mitä kansa-käsitteellä ja sen johdannaisilla on tehty ja miten käsitystä kansasta ja kansanomaisesta on tuotettu eri aikoina. Analyysin kohteena ovat 1800-luvun alun varhaiset kansanrunojulkaisut, ensimmäiset suomen…
A Farewell to Involuntary Mobility
Until the Interwar period, the majority of the Finnish population lived in small peasant communities in remote parts of the country. Since the growing season was short, much of the country was unsuitable for arable farming, and, in the beginning of the twentieth century, traditional agriculture was not able to employ the increasing population. People moved to towns and industrial centers to seek better economic opportunities and lifestyles and to…
Minority Cultures and the Making of Cultural Heritage Archives in Finland
The article analyzes the logic behind the archival policies concerning language and ethnic minorities in Finland, drawing examples from three minority groups: the Sámi, the Finnish Roma (the Kaale), and the Finland-Swedes. We base our discussion on the documented descriptions, manuscripts, questionnaires, and fieldwork activities dealing with language and ethnic minority groups archived by the Finnish Literature Society (Suomalaisen Kirjallisuude…
The Politics of Folklore, the Policy of Collecting It
Nineteenth century Romantic nationalism viewed the nation as one entity whose members shared a common language, folklore, customs and traditions. This view of nationalism inspired the collection of folklore which served as the cultural heritage of a society. Once collected and interpreted, folklore built a grand - although often exclusive, mean and racist - narrative of the past. This article examines the social boundaries between rural peasant c…
Sibling Rivalry and Family Conflicts
This article focuses on the culturally shared knowledge and understanding regarding family and kin relations held by the rural poor of Finland. The source material consists of the life stories, and poverty narratives within them, of Finns born between 1880 and 1938, seventy-nine texts altogether. Although all the narrators became financially secure by Western standards later in life, childhood poverty left them scarred. A recurrent focus in their…
Cultural Intimacy and Othering through Narrative Culture
Folktales about the Finnish Roma R omantic nationalism and the historic-geographic method set the frames for interpreting peasants and their narratives in the vast oral culture of Europe. Folklore-collecting institutions, such as the Finnish Literature Society in the late nineteenth century, conceived of the so-called common people, that is, those who performed physical labor for a living, either in agriculture, the logging industry, or skilled c…
Making Cultural Heritage in Finland
Folk Views on the Rural Upper Class and Questions of Historical Contextualization of Finnish Proverbs (1885–1950)
The article examines Finnish proverbs that include the word herra, or “master,” in relation to the social history of the common people. The sample in the analysis consists of 174 proverbs that were collected on the ideological basis of the historic-geographic method where the primary focus was on the evolution of folklore texts. This quantitative emphasis led to the large collections in the Folklore Archives, which now need new methodological cho…
The Peasant Poor and Images of Poverty
This article examines the core idea of poverty proverbs as hints of cultural knowledge in old Finnish rural countryside. Until World War II, most of the Finns lived in a high-risk society with only few institutions to guarantee their safety and well-being. The continuous threat of absolute poverty was evident for the majority of the Finns. The basis of this research is 204 proverbs that contain the words poor, poverty, pity or unfortunate. The pr…
