We compare and contrast the situation for Uralic languages with that of most of the rest of the world’s endangered languages. In this context we focus on new findings concerning the status of Uralic languages, on the implications of these findings for language typology and historical linguistics, and on what is now needed in the documentation and revitalization of these languages. Although concern for language endangerment became prominent after 1992, Uralic scholars have made substantial strides in recording the Uralic languages from the 19th century onward. As a result, documentation and archival materials exist for nearly all Uralic languages and major dialects. However, as languages across the globe are increasingly threatened with extinction, Uralic linguists once again have the opportunity to demonstrate leadership in further documentation of the many endangered Uralic languages to help safeguard linguistic diversity. ELCat lists 37 endangered Uralic languages, 15 of them severely endangered. These results underscore the responsibility of linguists and other scholars to guarantee adequate documentation of these languages, and to act urgently in the case of the most critically endangered ones. In this paper we point to the cases where it is important to provide more adequate documentation, to foster language revitalization where possible, and to consider better curation for existing language documentation. For some of the numerous Uralic languages that were documented in the 19th and early 20th centuries portions of these valuable collections remain undigitized or out of reach for researchers and revitalization programs. The problem is not limited just to these materials from past documentation work either. Modern documentation efforts face similar issues of curation and access. We raise the questions of what further documentation is most urgently needed and of how to best to deploy documentation of Uralic language materials for future researchers and language revitalization efforts. Hasselblatt, Cornelius University of Groningen The Finno-Ugric message. Literary and cultural contributions of our discipline Although our notion of Finno-Ugrianness is strongly connected with linguistics and based on linguistic evidence only, it makes sense to speak of Finno-Ugric cultures too. The reason for this is that many cultural manifestations are linked to language in one or another way – be it only through the fact that the mother tongue of the creator of a work of art is a Finno-Ugric language. Most of these manifestations can be properly, or at least better, understood only with knowledge of the respective language. 9 The basic idea underlying the lecture is the following: If linguistic features of Finno-Ugric languages contribute to our general knowledge of language, then, as a consequence, also specific features of Finno-Ugric cultures should have the ability to broaden our horizon with respect to general literary and cultural history. Therefore as the motto of the lecture may serve a quote by the Estonian poet, philosopher and scholar Uku Masing, who wrote in 1940: Small peoples necessarily have a broader outlook on life on account of the fact that they cannot disregard the existence of others. The inevitable and implicit reverse version of this insight would be: Large peoples necessarily have a narrower outlook on life on account of the fact that they can disregard the existence of others. Since all Finno-Ugric cultures are small when compared to, e.g., English, Russian, German or Chinese, they lack the restrictions of these large cultures. The aim of the lecture is not to establish a comprehensive set of cultural features which are regarded or interpreted as something 'specifically Finno-Ugric'. This would be very hard, if not impossible, to prove for two reasons: First of all, the divergence between a modern Hungarian film and a Mansi folk dance is too large to be able to serve as an example for common Finno-Ugric features. And, secondly, the creators of a Finnish poem on the one hand and a Mordvinian song on the other hand have undergone such different foreign influences that it seems impossible to distil any kind of 'Finno-Ugric essence' from them. The first aim of the lecture is rather to point to several features or simply elements of different Finno-Ugric cultures that deserve more attention because of their – real or alleged or reputed – uniqueness. Uniqueness here means that the respective phenomenon cannot be found in the same shape within other cultural environments without any connection to a Finno-Ugric language. This may help us to establish a notion of Finno-Ugrianness in the cultural field. The only possibility to label a cultural phenomenon 'Finno-Ugric' seems here to be the method Wittgenstein sketched in his concept of family resemblance: No single fixed criteria or distinctive feature for 'Finno-Ugric cultural manifestations' can be given, but a set of criteria can be established of which, say, a certain number has to be matched in order to make something 'Finno-Ugric'. Secondly, investigating these specific features should lead to a better understanding of multicultural situations, since all Finno-Ugric cultures are situated in a more or less multicultural environment. Therefore the study of these cultures has a high potential to contribute to our theoretical framework of multicultural studies.

  • Aino Kallas Syrjässä
    Lopen Joulu 2009 Aino Kallas Syrjässä Kirjailija Aino Kallas os. Krohn, tunnetun fennomaaniperheen tytär, vietti lapsuuden- ja nuoruudenkesänsä Lopen Sajaniemen Järventaustan Syrjässä. Kesällä 2009 Syrjässä järjestetyissä tapahtumissa oli esillä pieni tätä ajanjaksoa kuvaava näyttely, jossa esiteltyyn aineistoon tämä kirjoitus perustuu. Aikaisemmin on Aino Kallaksen vaiheista Lopella kertonut mm. Hele-Anneli Vähäkylä Lopen joulussa 1997. Godenhjelmit ja Syrjä Helsinkiläisellä lehtori B. F. Godenhjelmilla ja hänen Ida-vaimollaan oli 1870-luvulla kesänviettopaikkaa valitessaan monia vaihtoehtoja. Matkustaako kotimaassa vai ulkomailla, ostaako huvila vai majoittuako vuokrahuoneisiin tai hotelliin? Kaupunkiin jääminen ei heitä liene houkutellut, kuuluihan kesänvietto maaseudulla tai kylpylässä säädynmukaiseen elämään, eikä kaupungissa oleskelua kesäisin pidetty terveellisenäkään. Aiemmin Godenhjelmit olivat matkustaneet joka vuosi Haapsaluun, mutta tästä eteenpäin kesäpaikaksi vakiintui Loppi. Valintaan vaikutti varmaankin hyvä ystävä Yrjö Sakari Yrjö-Koskinen, joka oli ostanut Leppälahden tilan Loppijärven rannalta muutamaa vuotta aikaisemmin. Godenhjelmit eivät kuitenkaan pitäneet oman kesäpaikan ostamista tarpeellisena, vaan vuokrasivat Syrjän tilan pihapiiristä ensin pari huonetta, myöhempinä kesinä vieraita varten rakennetun erillisen huvilan. Syrjän tila oli aiemmin ollut Sajaniemen kylän Jalkusen rusthollin torppa. Kantatila Jalkunen oli jaettu kahtia 1700-luvulla.

Matkakirjallisuudessa kirjoitta- jat ovat usein nostaneet esille itselleen tärkeitä teemoja, kuten kohtaamisia ja käsityksiä uudesta kult- tuurista. Matkustamiselle oli usein syynsä, kuten vaikkapa työ, opinnot tai silkka mielenkiinto uutta kulttuuria kohtaan. Matkustamisen aikana ihmisille kertyi erilaisia kokemuksia uudesta kulttuurista, ja pidempiä aikoja ulkomailla viettäneet usein integroituivat paikalliseen yhteiskuntaan.

  • Genetic Analysis of Male Hungarian Conquerors: European and Asian Paternal Lineages of the Conquering Hungarian Tribes
    Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences (2020) 12: 31 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12520-019-00996-0 ORIGINAL PAPER Genetic analysis of male Hungarian Conquerors: European and Asian paternal lineages of the conquering Hungarian tribes Erzsébet Fóthi1 & Angéla Gonzalez2 & Tibor Fehér3 & Ariana Gugora4 & Ábel Fóthi5 & Orsolya Biró6 & Christine Keyser2,7 Received: 11 March 2019 /Accepted: 16 October 2019 /Published online: 14 January 2020 # The Author(s) 2020 Abstract According to historical sources, ancient Hungarians were made up of seven allied tribes and the fragmented tribes that split off from the Khazars, and they arrived from the Eastern European steppes to conquer the Carpathian Basin at the end of the ninth century AD. Differentiating between the tribes is not possible based on archaeology or history, because the Hungarian Conqueror artifacts show uniformity in attire, weaponry, and warcraft. We used Y-STR and SNP analyses on male Hungarian Conqueror remains to determine the genetic source, composition of tribes, and kin of ancient Hungarians. The 19 male individuals paternally belong to 16 independent haplotypes and 7 haplogroups (C2, G2a, I2, J1, N3a, R1a, and R1b). The presence of the N3a haplogroup is interesting because it rarely appears among modern Hungarians (unlike in other Finno-Ugric-speaking peoples) but was found in 37.5% of the Hungarian Conquerors. This suggests that a part of the ancient Hungarians was of Ugric descent and that a significant portion spoke Hungarian. We compared our results with public databases and discovered that the Hungarian Conquerors originated from three distant territories of the Eurasian steppes, where different ethnicities joined them: Lake Baikal- Altai Mountains (Huns/Turkic peoples), Western Siberia-Southern Urals (Finno-Ugric peoples), and the Black Sea-Northern Caucasus (Caucasian and Eastern European peoples).

  • Notes on Proto-Mansi Word-Final Vocalism
    Juho Pystynen Helsinki Notes on Proto-Mansi word-final vocalism 1. Introduction The history of the Mansi vocalism has been a subject of research already for more than a century. However, all three monographs published on the topic thus far (Hazay 1907, Kannisto 1919, Steinitz 1955) only treat first-syllable vocalism. Slightly more detail is found in Honti (1982 = GOV), who presents full Proto-Mansi (PMs) reconstructions in his comparative Ob-Ugric lexicon, but he still gives no overview of either the PMs second-syllable vocalism, its development from Proto-Ob-Ugric, or its development into the attested Mansi varieties. In this paper I attempt to take a first step towards this goal, focusing on word-final vowels in nominal stems. As research material, the 724 Proto-Mansi reconstructions and 105 additional etymological cognate sets presented in GOV would seem to cover the bulk of the old inherited vocabulary of Mansi, and they provide a relatively comprehensive basis for probing the historical development of the Mansi varieties. To this could be still added a number of words of old Uralic heritage not covered by Honti due to the absence of cognates in Khanty (e.g. the reflexes of Proto-Uralic kojwa* ‘birch’, *lämə ‘broth’, *wetə ‘water’). Such examples are however not numerous, and they do not seem to change the emerging big picture. Substantially more additional data can be found in the Mansi dialect dictionaries based on the collections of Munkácsi and Kannisto, but their analy- sis would first require further etymological work; they certainly contain much newer vocabulary from various other sources (e.g.

  • The Role of the Republic of Karelia in Russia's Foreign and Security Policy
    Eidgenössische “Regionalization of Russian Foreign and Security Policy” Technische Hochschule Zürich Project organized by The Russian Study Group at the Center for Security Studies and Conflict Research Andreas Wenger, Jeronim Perovic,´ Andrei Makarychev, Oleg Alexandrov WORKING PAPER NO.5 MARCH 2001 The Role of the Republic of Karelia in Russia’s Foreign and Security Policy DESIGN : SUSANA PERROTTET RIOS This paper gives an overview of Karelia’s international security situation. The study By Oleg B. Alexandrov offers an analysis of the region’s various forms of international interactions and describes the internal situation in the republic, its economic conditions and its potential for integration into the European or the global economy. It also discusses the role of the main political actors and their attitude towards international relations. The author studies the general problem of center-periphery relations and federal issues, and weighs their effects on Karelia’s foreign relations. The paper argues that the international contacts of the regions in Russia’s Northwest, including those of the Republic of Karelia, have opened up opportunities for new forms of cooperation between Russia and the EU. These contacts have en- couraged a climate of trust in the border zone, alleviating the negative effects caused by NATO’s eastward enlargement. Moreover, the region benefits economi- cally from its geographical situation, but is also moving towards European standards through sociopolitical modernization.

  • Artistic Alliances and Revolutionary Rivalries in the Baltic Art World, 1890–1914
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR HISTORY, CULTURE AND MODERNITY www.history-culture-modernity.org Published by: Uopen Journals Copyright: © The Author(s). Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence eISSN: 2213-0624 Artistic Alliances and Revolutionary Rivalries in the Baltic Art World, 1890–1914 Bart Pushaw HCM 4 (1): 42–72 DOI: 10.18352/hcm.503 Abstract In the areas now known as Estonia and Latvia, art remained a field for the Baltic German minority throughout the nineteenth century. When ethnic Estonian and Latvian artists gained prominence in the late 1890s, their presence threatened Baltic German hegemony over the region’s culture. In 1905, revolution in the Russian Empire spilled over into the Baltic Provinces, sparking widespread anti-German violence. The revolution also galvanized Latvian and Estonian artists towards greater cultural autonomy and independence from Baltic German artistic insti- tutions. This article argues that the situation for artists before and after the 1905 revolution was not simply divisive along ethnic lines, as some nationalist historians have suggested. Instead, this paper examines how Baltic German, Estonian and Latvian artists oscillated between com- mon interests, inspiring rivalries, and politicized conflicts, question- ing the legitimacy of art as a universalizing language in multicultural societies. Keywords: Baltic art, Estonia, Latvia, multiculturalism, nationalism Introduction In the 1860s a visitor of the port towns of Riga or Tallinn would have surmised that these cities were primarily German-speaking areas of Imperial Russia. By 1900, however, one could hear not only German, but Latvian, Estonian, Russian, as well as Yiddish on the streets of Riga 42 HCM 2016, VOL.
