The SIEF 2013 Congress examines the stakes and implications of CIRCULATION and its semantic siblings – flow, exchange, travel, and mobility. These concepts that have been constitutive to the fields of ethnology and folkloristics serve to incite informed, inspiring and engaging entry points into theory or into current interdisciplinary conversations to fill more than three days.There’s no better place than our age-old Alma Mater and the City of Good Thoughts to hold parallel panels and keynote lectures with stimulating presentations and discussions on this theme! Besides broadening your mind, we hope you’ll enjoy the social programme of the congress with the opening reception at the UT History Museum on Toome Hill and the closing banquet at the Dorpat Conference Centre that will be spiced up with handpicked musical performances ranging from folk to jazz and rock. To make your stay in Estonia more rewarding, the organisers of the 11th International SIEF Congress from the Institute for Cultural Research and Fine Arts at the University of Tartu, Estonian Literary Museum, Estonian National Museum, the Centre of Excellence in Cultural Theory, and the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at Tallinn University have co-operated to arrange complimentary guided tours and provide our guests with insights into ethnology and folkloristics in Estonia, and Estonian culture. Kristin Kuutma University of Tartu 6 Welcome address from SIEF President Welcome to Tartu, welcome to Estonia. At SIEF congresses scholars and practitioners working on all aspects of European cultures come together for face-to-face encounter, fruitful exchange and perhaps new scholarly alliances leading to joint projects across institutions and borders. The congresses also provide an opportunity to meet up closely with one particular place and a set of locally active scholars and students; Tartu has much to offer in this regard. Speaking on behalf of the local committee at the Derry congress in 2008, I saw one important strategy for ethnology and folklore in building links with related disciplines. Since then, we have progressed in making links across disciplinary fences in the intellectual commons. SIEF has made a significant contribution to shaping and reshaping the study of culture in Europe (and beyond) from a perspective of ethnology and folklore. However, we must be alert to exogenous pressures. Back in 2008, the post-War economic bubble finally burst. Bail-outs and austerity regimes are measures informed by thinking within the same old box, and are unlikely to yield sustainable solutions. For now however, their impacts on our fields are substantial. The Market rules KO once more. In this lupine world, international scholarly associations are challenged to consider their sustainability and find new ways forward. This may require intensive discussion and difficult decisions. For some years, SIEF has been moving deeper into the anthropological commons, as reflected in the recurrent debate over its name. In one sense, the increasing crowdedness of the anthropological commons makes the case for retaining emphasis on Folklore in our association’s name even stronger than before. However, emphasis that remains empty rhetoric is worth little. If it is indeed the emphasis on folklore that distinguishes us from other anthropological associations, then we need to fill that emphasis with concrete meaning beyond simply recycling things we have always done. Arguably, this can and should be pursued with an eye on parameters that are exogenously forced upon us; to put it simply and succinctly – what practical use does folklore scholarship have in the 21st century? Personally, I think that we can find constructive and forward-looking answers to this question. They will not be along the lines of “how useful is knowledge of our folk traditions for perpetuating or enhancing the market economy”, as neo-liberalist governments would wish us to think. Offering specialist knowledge that adds images, sound, flavour and texture to the products of a heritage “industry” expected to at least part-fill the economic hole left by the terminal decline of conventional manufacturing may keep some of us in bread and butter after a fashion, but is that the best we can do? Far more interesting answers, I suspect, are likely to come from a more radical approach that mines the intangible cultural heritages of the world for alternatives to prevalent misconceptions of how this world works – not out of some romantic, anti-modern hankering for paradise lost (of which scholarship in our fields has all too often and rightly been accused in the past), but rather from an acute sense of ecological responsibility that guides us towards a rigorous critique of the thinking that got us into the current politico-economic mess. How we may cultivate alternative cosmologies and epistemologies is a debate more urgent than ever in the light of neo-liberal instrumentalism with its evident disdain for human and spiritual values. As specialists in traditional ways (and their contemporary invention), we should have valuable contributions to make to this venture. In the process, we may find new uses for old concepts.

  • Oratie Prof. Dr. Arnoud-Jan Bijsterveld
    Het maakbare verleden. Regionale geschiedenis en etnologie in Brabant op de drempel van de eenentwintigste eeuw 1 Op 1 maart 1796 mochten vertegenwoordigers van het toenmalige `Bataafsch Brabant', het voormalige Generaliteitsland, zitting nemen in de Staten-Generaal. 2 Dit feit werd in 1996 gevierd als `tweehonderd jaar Noord-Brabant'. In het kader daarvan verscheen op 13 juni 1996 een herdenkingspostzegel. Bij een eerste blik beantwoordt die postzegel aan het beeld dat veel Brabanders en ook mij vanaf mijn kinderjaren, doorgebracht in een dorp met twee actieve gilden, zeer vertrouwd is: we zien een jonge gildenbroeder met een trom en een ouder lid met het gildenvaandel, onderdeel van een in kleurige kleding optrekkend gilde. Maar in tweede instantie heb ik zo mijn bedenkingen bij deze postzegel. Is dit nu het beeld waarmee het moderne Noord-Brabant zich wenst te representeren ten overstaan van heel Nederland? En is een afbeelding van een gilde eigenlijk wel geschikt om het verleden van tweehonderd jaar Noord-Brabant in samen te ballen? Gaat het hier niet om het zoveelste clichébeeld waarmee we gezamenlijk een mythisch en achterhaald imago van Noord-Brabant instandhouden? Hiermee stel ik drie zaken ter discussie, namelijk de actualiteit van het zelfbeeld van de hedendaagse Brabanders, de deugdelijkheid van hun visie op het eigen verleden en ten slotte de geldigheid van de bestaande Brabantbeelden. Al deze zaken zijn relevant in het kader van de leerstoel `Cultuur in Brabant', ofwel voluit `Cultuur in Brabant in sociaal-wetenschappelijk en historisch perspectief, met inbegrip van de volkscultuur'. Deze leeropdracht omvat twee disciplines, enerzijds de lokale en regionale geschiedenis, en anderzijds de volkskunde of etnologie.

Ometi kaovad just üksikliikmete nimed tihti olude sunnil meie ajaloolisest mälust pea täielikult. Et põlistada nende tublide eesti naiste mälestust, tänu kellele meie suurepärane organisatsioon - Naiskodukaitse, Saaremaal üldse loodi, on k.o. kogumiku koostaja püüdnud välja selgitada nende ni- med, et jäädvustada neid tulevastele põlvedele. Kui palju naiskodukaitsjaid aastatel 1925-1940 kohalikku ringkonda üldse kuulus, pole päris täpselt teada, ehkki erinevad allikad kinnitavad võrdlemisi üksmeelselt, et organisatsiooni likvideerimise ajal suvel 1940 kuulus sinna cà 900 naist. 2004. a. ilmunud kogumikus "Naiskodukaitse Saaremaa Ring- kond 1925-2001" suudeti neist ära tuua vaid 490 liikme nimed. Nüüdseks teame, et aastatel 1925-1940 kuulus 15 tegevusaasta jooksul NKK Saaremaa Ringkonda mingi aja jooksul teadaolevalt kokku ligi 1750 naist. Arvestused näitavad aga, et kui siia lisada needki, kes liitusid organisatsiooniga või lahkusid sealt organisatsiooni tegutsemise esimestel aastatel 1925- 1928 ja kelle nimedest paljud on veel teadmata, võib see arv suureneda isegi mitmesaja inimese võrra. K.o. kogumikku pole kantud mitte ühegi inimese nime, kelle liikmelisus pole kindlat tõendamist leidnud kirjalike andmete alusel.

A wide range of artisans were surveyed in the course of this research, from professionals who earn a living from handicraft to amateurs, small enterprises and handicraft instructors. The authors concentrate on the motifs and background of different categories of handicraft agent. Details of handicraft practice such as mastering spe- cific items, local peculiarities and materials used will be also explored. The analy- sis is predominantly based on the artisans’ views on proper ways of making handi- craft items, their marketing strategies and the needs of developing their skills. The study* demonstrates that artisanal initiatives support the material reproduction of cultural locations through constant renewal of heritage ideology and practice. KEYWORDS: crafts • artisans • heritage • hobby • woodwork * We would like to thank all informants, workshop participants and supporters.

All rights reserved. 3 INTRODUCTION Dear members and friends of eabh, Photographs are a key part of the archival collections of many financial institutions. Their emotional charge, their documentary power, their immediacy and universality set them apart from other archival documents. Used well, they provide an asset for any financial institution. This volume features articles from 17 financial institutions in eleven different countries. Almost 300 photographs provide glimpses of institutional practice over a span of 150 years. The photographs reveal stories about staff members, office buildings, and money; and they tell us about fashion, cultural movements, financial and industrial innovation, poverty, gender, colonization, leisure, and much more. This issue is the first of a series, and part of a wider project to explore the connections between finance and photography. eabh would like to invite its member and partner eabh institutions to join in by contributing to the second volume of the series.

  • The Dying Gaul: Examining the Inverse Relationship Between Lay and Religious Masculinities in Merovingian Gaul, 450-750
    The Dying Gaul: Examining the Inverse Relationship between Lay and Religious Masculinities in Merovingian Gaul, 450-750 by Peter Henric Johnsson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre of Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Peter Johnsson « Year of Convocation» The Dying Gaul Peter Johnsson Doctor of Philosophy Centre of Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2020 Abstract This dissertation examines the interrelation between concepts of masculinity among the laity and the clergy in the Merovingian era of Gaul, fifth to seventh centuries. In doing so, the work aims to fill a gap in current scholarship by examining the relationship between religious men and lay men, rather than as separate groups, which has often been the trend to date. The focus is on specific sites of difference where masculine ideals came into conflict. Beginning with a brief examination of the transmission of classical neo-platonic ideals into the culture of the ecclesiastical aristocracy of the fifth century, I will provide a background for the religious masculinity against which the lay examples are framed. The study then moves on to the contrasting ideals surrounding hair, using a methodological framework of contrasting masculinities to demonstrate that the long hair of the Franks and the tonsuring of the clergy both reflected antithetical representations of each others’ masculinities. Chapter four examines the relationship between feasting and fasting culture among the laity and the clergy, as the participation in, and rejection of imbibing served to distinguish both groups of men through contrasting ideals. The following chapter examines the role that sexual conduct played in notions of honour particularly in the laity.
