Relaciones que hasta ahora nunca han sido analizadas. El estudio se centra principalmente entre los años 1797-1807, periodo en donde abundan documentos acerca de los rituales de trabajo, la organización y las ideologías de las logias. Por último, un aporte fundamental de esta investigación está en que por primera son utilizadas fuentes acerca de la orden masónica sueca presentes en los archivos de la logia La Sudermanie de la capital de San Bartolomé, Gustavia. Abstract This paper deals with the establishment of freemasonry on St. Barthélemy, its connections to the Swedish Grand Lodge, its membership structure and activities mainly between 1797 and 1807.

  • 1 Between Defeat and Victory: Finnish Memory Culture of the Second
    This is the accepted manuscript of the article, which has been published in Scandinavian Journal of History. 2012, 37(4), 482-504. https://doi.org/10.1080/03468755.2012.680178 Between defeat and victory: Finnish memory culture of the Second World War Ville Kivimäki, Åbo Akademi University, Finland Abstract: The article focuses on five essential phenomena in the Finnish memory culture of the three Finnish wars fought in 1939–45, namely, 1) the memory of the fallen; 2) the influential work by author Väinö Linna; 3) the contested memory politics and veteran cultures in the 1960s and 1970s; 4) Germany and the Holocaust in the Finnish memory culture; 5) and the ‘neo-patriotic’ turn in the commemoration of the wars from the end of the 1980s onwards. The Finnish memory culture of 1939–45 presents an interesting case of how the de facto lost wars against the Soviet Union have been shaped into cornerstones of national history and identity that continue to have significance even today. Using the growing research literature on the various aspects of the Finnish war memories and memory politics, the article aims, first, at outlining a synthesis of the memory culture’s central features and, second, at challenging the common contemporary conception, according to which the Finnish war veterans would have been forgotten, neglected and even disgraced during the post-war decades to be ‘rehabilitated’ only from the end of the 1980s onwards. Keywords: war (the Second World War); Finland; memory; commemoration; war veterans; war memorials; war fiction; the Holocaust; finlandisation 1 Between defeat and victory Finnish memory culture of the Second World War1 1.

  • The Image of Marshal Mannerheim, Moral Panic, and the Refashioning of the Nation in the 1990S
    CHAPTER 14 The Image of Marshal Mannerheim, Moral Panic, and the Refashioning of the Nation in the 1990s Tuomas Tepora INTRODUCTION The end of the Cold War resulted in radical changes in Finland’s interna- tional position and economy. It sparked an identity struggle, seen within society as soul-searching. One of the major national symbolic fgures, Marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (1867–1951), the Civil War (1918) and World War II military leader and the President of Finland (1944–1946), became a mirror in this collective introspection. This chap- ter addresses the personality cult surrounding Marshal Mannerheim, as well as the alternating images of him, as keys to understanding the emo- tional and social upheavals within Finnish society in the early 1990s. The chapter focuses on the debate in the early 1990s concerning the construction of the Museum of Contemporary Art next to the Mannerheim T.

TEPORA equestrian statue at the heart of Helsinki. The debate offers invaluable insight into the emotional memory politics, the layers of memories, and future expectations in the post-Cold War nation. In the early 1990s, the Mannerheim statue and contemporary art formed an oxymoron that seemed to threaten the moral base of the nation. The juxtaposition sym- bolized a moral panic that concerned the lived experience of Finland’s changing international position.
