You're familiar with Magistrate Hamal, Emperor Murzi and other legendary figures from street theatre, which you're immensely fond of. You know the Brother and Sister of the Kirimanya, and pray to them, and you know a lot of the currently popular gods. You know who the current emperor is, and who his favourite concubine.

FF Network 16 - Atlases Of Finnish Folk Culture
Atlases of Finnish folk culture (FFN 16, October 1998 1820) The aim of the studywas to identify the structural differences in local finnish culture.
http://www.folklorefellows.org/netw/ffn16/atlases.html

Extractions: Background The idea of maps to show the diffusion of items of ethnic folk culture first spread in cultural geography and ethnographic statistical geography in the mid-19th century. Interest was aroused in Finland, too, before the century was over. When a large-scale atlas project was launched in Germany in the 1920s, ethnographers in Finland likewise began to demand a similar venture. Projects at mapping various aspects of folk culture were gradually put in hand in the 1930s by linguists, ethnologists and folklorists. During the war atlas projects soon came to a halt as the cartographers were ordered to the front or other special wartime assignments. But the 213 maps appended to the Suomen murteet (Finnish Dialects) produced single-handed by Professor Lauri Kettunen appeared in 1940 already.
FF Network 17 - The Kalevala - The Finnish National Epic With Worldwide Influenc
First, the question what are the various forms taken by the Kalevala,a national epic already 164 years old, in today's finnish culture?
http://www.folklorefellows.org/netw/ffn17/kalevala.html

Extractions: (FFN 17, June 1999: 8) In honour of the anniversary of the New Kalevala, the Kalevala Society and the Finnish Literature Society, in association with the Akseli Gallen-Kallela Museum, have put together a documentary exhibition entitled "The Kalevala - the National Epic of Finland". Elias Lönnrot, who compiled the Kalevala on the basis of oral-traditional folk poetry, wrote in his Preface to the first edition of the Kalevala that from the enormous number of poems he had collected he could have assembled seven Kalevalas, all of them different. When the committee in charge of the Kalevala exhibition were ready to assemble the displays, they found they had gathered enough material for seven different exhibitions. The exhibition is intended for a wide audience, and its organisers had two specific ideas in mind when putting it together. First, the question: what are the various forms taken by the Kalevala, a national epic already 164 years old, in today's Finnish culture? Second, the committee wanted to present the Kalevala in accordance with the general theme of the anniversary year, "The Kalevala Worldwide", not only as a Finnish national epic, but also as member of the family of world epics, as influencing and influenced by other pinnacles of world literature.

Extractions: Sue me not. In fact, i urge you to buy the book if you're at all interested in Finland. Or, if you are from Finland, you might as well gove toe book to a foreigner friend. Good gift! For Finns, life becomes a juhla when you leave Stadi and listen to tango on your way to the mökki in the middle of a metsä at a järvi , drink some viina after the sauna and then watch the kisat on TV and drink lots of kahvi . To understand Finnish culture, there are a number of five-letter words you should know: Party. With long, dark, cold winters, a history of several less-than-victorious wars and the influence of the rugged and blunt Lutheran faith, Finland is not a likely country for interesting celebrations and festivals. Yet there are juhlas on every occasion: when school ends, birthdays, name days and national holidays. Finns take partying very seriously. When it's official, people dress properly, act muted and look serious. When it's religious, people dress properly, act muted and look serious. When it's unofficial, they dress casually, act light-hearted and look serious. Lake. Finns have built their towns and villages, factories and hydroelectric plants, transportation systems and timber-floating routes, bridges and road networks along their 188 000 lakes. They have formed their distinctive sports and recreational habits in close relation to their lake-island-river system. Lakes provide fish and drinking water, and you can cross them by boat to reach other villages.

Extractions: RICH CULTURE The Finnish culture is perhaps at its richest in the landscapes of the National Road Finland. Here, the encounter between the Eastern and Western cultures and their merging into the mythical folk tradition of the ancient Finnish ancestors have created many unique cultural features. For example, the Orthodox church is still very much alive on the National Road Finland. You can familiarize yourself with its traditions in the Orthodox church museum in the city of Kuopio. Nature and landscape have always been close to the hearts of the Finnish people. The Finnish landscape reflects the basic values on which the Finnish people have built their self-image both as a community and as individuals. Many artists have depicted the devotion and passion that national landscapes arouse in the souls of Finnish people with paintings, words and melodies. This close relationship between man and nature has given birth to many highly valued objects such as Kainuus Tommi knife and the Savo boat.

http://www.keppi.utu.fi/uusi/english/introduction.html

Extractions: Main page Introduction Map General information Themes Report The Keppiproject was initiated by the Education Committee of the Finnish Parliament in its assessment of the government's culturalpolitical report in 1993. The Education Committee paid special attention to processes of change anticipated to accelerate in the future and to the importance of a broad conception of culture for the control of these changes. In its report the Education Committee defined the need for a major cultural project of a new kind. The Keppiproject, a special project for the promotion of culture and creativity, commenced the following year and, during the next three years, more than two hundred projects participated in it. The novelty of the Keppiproject was the decision to focus cultural sector funding on specific themes rather than on individual projects. Of special significance was also the conception of Keppi as a threeyear programme from the very start. This was done so as to avoid a situation in which those receiving funding would suddenly find themselves with no further financial support. Such a longterm approach was believed to encourage project plans with clearly defined goals. The Keppifunding was of special importance for small, less established groups. The aim of the project was to support cultural fields generally left in the periphery of funding. Keppi also welcomed participants with no prior standing. In this sense the project was used as "risk funding" for culture. A broad range of subprojects was selected from all over Finland, representing a variety of cultural backgrounds.

Extractions: " We have discovered a massive accumulation of sulphides in our Windy Lake drilling site this winter. It is usually a sign of nickel or copper deposits," Risto Laamanen CEO and Chairman of Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd. told Vapaa Sana last week. The anomaly is of superconducting nature and is on track with earlier successful exploration in the Sudbury basin. " The drilling started on the shore last year. Due to the extremely cold winter we should be able to drill seven holes with the maximum depth of 1500 meters through the ice and 200 feet of water by the end of March." "We worked very hard in obtaining the exploration rights from the Federal Government which kept the Windy Lake area for itself from 1917 on, for strategic reasons perhaps. The government did not drill the area so we are the first ones working here," Laamanen said.

Extractions: Finnish opera has been riding the crest of a wave for nearly three decades at the time of this writing. The turning point was the year 1975, which saw the world premieres of Aulis Sallinen's Ratsumies (The Horseman) and Joonas Kokkonen's Viimeiset kiusaukset (The Last Temptations) at the Savonlinna Opera Festival and the Finnish National Opera, respectively. These two operas sparked a boom of opera enthusiasm which soon expanded to large-scale folk operas performed on outdoor stages and village operas performed by local amateur forces. Soon the title of 'opera' was applied even to works which actually belonged to the genres of Singspiel or musical; opera was no longer a genre alien to the public at large. This book is a concise survey of all Finnish operas ever written. Its purpose is to give an overview of the development of Finnish opera, to describe the music in these operas and to explore the subjects and ideologies behind them. I have chosen to include works which are called operas though they are actually Singspiels - it is, after all, sometimes very difficult to draw a line between the two - but which have influenced the development of opera in Finland or are otherwise illustrative of opera as a Finnish cultural phenomenon. The reader is envisioned as an active listener seeking in-depth information or a music professional looking for new repertoire. The indices at the end of this book constitute a comprehensive catalogue of Finnish opera.

Cultural Statistics is a versatile review on the state and recent developments offinnish culture in the form of statistical data and concise summary articles.
http://www.stat.fi/tk/el/kva_kulttuuri_en.html

Extractions: The work on cultural statistics was started by Statistics Finland in the late 1970s. Large compilations were published in 1978 and 1984. They extended the definition of culture to mass media, on which statistics have been compiled as separate wholes regularly since 1987. The third issue of Cultural Statistics, following a narrower definition, was published in 1999 and the fourth in 2002. Statistics on culture will be compiled on a regular basis by Statistics Finland; and the next compilation will be issued in 2004. In the intermediate years special surveys are made on less accurately recorded sectors or on topical themes. A report on cultural labour force in 1970-1999 was published in 2001. Cultural statistics are compiled in co-operation between Statistics Finland and the Ministry of Education. Cultural Statistics is a versatile review on the state and recent developments of Finnish culture in the form of statistical data and concise summary articles. The publication examines financing of the arts and culture, cultural labour force, cultural enterprises, cultural events, buildings and journals, cultural heritage, museums and libraries. Each field of art is organised into a section of its own (film, literature, visual and photographic art, crafts and design, music, architecture, dance and theatre). Cultural statistics is published every two years (next in 2004). It is produced entirely in Finnish and English.

http://www.aktivist.fi/inenglish/f.html

Extractions: F FINNISH DESIGN Finnish children are taught at school that Finland is known all over the world not only because of sauna, sisu, the midnight sun, and sports men, but also for "Finnish design." Even though some ironic voices turn the word into "Finished design," our designers are still among the best in the world. Since in the early 1900's architects were also designers of furniture and other items, the history of Finnish design is closely related to architecture . Probably the most influential were Eliel Saarinen and Alvar Aalto . Aalto designed several prize-winning pieces of furniture and glassware, for example the famous Aalto vase (originally Savoy vase , 1936). Most Aalto furniture and tableware designs are still in production. After the Second World War a whole new profession was born to satisfy the needs of people and industry designers. Many Finnish designers became internationally successful, for example Tapio Wirkkala (1915-85), Timo Sarpaneva (born 1926), Kaj Franck (1911-89), Gunnel Nyman (1909-48), Saara Hopea (1925-84), Nanny Still (born 1926), and Oiva Toikka (born 1931). The year 1951 was the breakthrough of Finnish glassware. Known as the "Milan Miracle," this was the year that Finns, Tapio Wirkkala leading the way, won nearly all the series at the

Extractions: Finnish Folklore. By Leea Virtanen and Thomas DuBois. Helsinki: Finnish Literature Society; Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2000. Pp. 297. Illustrations, bibliography, index. $25.00 USD (180 Fmk) paper. Finnish Folklore is a translation and adaptation of Leea Virtanen's 1988 introductory textbook Suomalainen kansanperinne (Finnish Folklore). Some new materials about the Saami, Finnish-Americans, and Swedish-speaking Finns have been added that make the book now more than an introduction to folklore in the Finnish language; instead, it is intended as an introduction to the folklore of Finland and its people, including minority peoples. The book is arranged into five chapters. The first is a brief survey of the history and methods used in the study of Finnish folklore. Here the student is introduced to the main figures of Finnish folklore, ranging from the eighteenth-century scholars who began the study of Finnish epic songs to present-day researchers, as well as to the various trends in the study of Finnish folklore, past and present. The second chapter offers a survey of "Regional and Ethnic Culture in Finland." Groups covered in this chapter include Swedish-speaking Finns, the Rom (Gypsies), the Saami, and Finnish-Americans. Virtanen and Dubois also discuss the connections between Finnish culture and other Baltic-Finnic groups such as the Estonians, Ingrians, and perhaps most importantly, the Karelians (much of the epic that has been the focus of Finnish folklore research comes from Karelia).
