Sävelten tyttäret: Säveltävät naiset Suomessa 1800-luvulta 1900-luvulle
In: Historiallinen Arkisto
The book presents the biographies and work lists of 126 Finnish women composers born between 1784 and 1909. Based on large-scale archival research, it is the first comprehensive historical account of Finnish women composers and their cultural heritage. The authors draw on feminist music history and the sociohistorical approach to find out who these women were, what kind of music they wrote, and how their careers reflected European cultural and social history. The treatise highlights the influence of girls' schools, women's suffrage movements and other socio-political developments on the musical culture of women. Concepts such as "composer", "woman" and "Finnish" were assumed to be open and inclusive throughout the research, in terms of both musical style and diversity in cultural background. In concentrating on music-making by women, the book opens up radically new vistas on Finland's music and cultural history, and it rectifies previous erroneous conceptions about women's composership and their artistic work. In short, it exposes the richness in the sonic and intellectual heritage of Finnish women composers, as well as its significance in society today.

Kansallisesta Ylirajaiseen: Kulttuuri, perinne ja kirjallisuus
In: Kalevalaseuran vuosikirja
Tradition and literature are not held back by borders. Transnationality is, for example, geographic, symbolic, or linguistic movement and action. Different kinds of cultural transitions and migrant traditions are connected with transnationality. Studying the multilingualism of literary texts or diverse cultural identities, transnationality is a prolific angle. In the 102nd Yearbook of the Kalevala Society Foundation, the topics cover for example migration and return migration, material things crossing borders, and places of music culture. At a more theoretical level we are asking how studying transnationality enriches the disciplines with roots in the national sciences.
Kansanperinne 2.0: Sukelluksia 2000-luvun vernakulaariin kulttuuriin
In: Tietolipas
In the 21st century, vernacular tradition has been emerging updated, hybridized forms. The increased availability of digital devices and resources has diminished the gap between professional production and folk culture. Digital technology and commercial productions have merged with grassroots practices, local identities, and personal expression. This book introduces analytical views of contemporary folklore as vernacular meaning-making and performance in interaction with digital technology and commercial productions. It focuses on various genres, such as internet memes, local rap music, video games, creepypasta, and stand-up performances. Central themes featured in the analyses include accelerated cultural circulation and reinterpretations, questions surrounding ownership and appropriation, technological agency, and the performance of cultural and personal identities.
Mitä väliä on historialla?
Mitä väliä on historialla ("What good is history?") is edited by Dr. Tiina Miettinen and Dr. Raisa Maria Toivo. Can history be useful and if so, what is it useful for? This book explores the impact of history and historical research. It gives a general introduction and various case studies – together with a piece of fiction – on how different parts of society can benefit, or have used, the study of history. - Mitä väliä on historialla? – kirja kartoittaa historian ja historiantutkimuksen mahdollista impaktia, merkitystä ja yhteiskunnallista tai tieteellistä relevanssia. Toimittajien (Tiina Miettisen ja Raisa Maria Toivon) yleistajuisen johdannon jälkeen kirja tarkastelee erilaisten tapausesimerkkien kautta, mitä hyötyä erilaisista historiantutkimuksista voi olla erilaisille historian käyttäjille. Kirja on poleeminen keskustelunaloitus: pikemmin kuin kattamaan kaikki mahdolliset historian alat se pyrki tarjoamaan odottamattomia näkökulmia ja uhkarohkeita vertailuja.
Avantgarde Suomessa
In: Tietolipas

Terveyshistoria: Näkökulmia ja lähestymistapoja keskiajalta nykypäivään
In: Historiallisia Tutkimuksia
This book deals with approaches, sources, and methods in health history from the middle ages to the twentieth century. Individual chapters demonstrate how historians of medicine and health choose their methodological approaches and form interpretations from primary sources. They discuss the practices of writing and show how obstacles in the research process can be overcome. Practical examples of source materials, used methods and research challenges give tools to students for carrying out projects independently and help them to understand different possibilities in the field of health history. In this book, history of health includes but is not limited to medical science. Emphasising medical pluralism, it places (public) health in a cultural and social field encompassing official and unofficial practitioners, medical institutions, and patients. Individual case studies highlight themes in Finnish, European, and African history.
Matkaopas lapsuuden historian tutkimukseen: Monitieteisiä näkökulmia ja menetelmiä
In: Historiallisia Tutkimuksia
This edited volume is a handbook of research methodologies for the history of childhood. The history of childhood is a vibrant, multidisciplinary field that incorporates a rich variety of methodological approaches developed in disciplines across the social sciences and humanities, including archaeology, education, ethnology, literature, and history. The volume presents a collection of chapters that engage a range of different research traditions and employ different research material, conceptual tools, and methods of analysis for the historical study of childhood. In doing so, the volume attends to issues specific to the study of children and childhood, such as those related to research ethics and the theoretical complexities of defining 'the child' and 'childhood'. While the central focus is on the history of childhood in Finland, the volume also includes international and transnational cases, contexts, and perspectives.
