Silverman & Steven Lavoie Copyright© 2012 The International Association for Philosophy and Literature 2 ABOUT THE IAPL The International Association for Philosophy and Literature is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and to the enhancement of scholarly research in the arts and the humanities. The IAPL provides an opportunity to engage in discussion at the intersections of philosophical, literary, cultural, textual, visual, medial, art, and aesthetic theories. Founded in 1976, the IAPL brings together thinkers and scholars working in a wide range of disciplines concerned with the study of philosophical, historical, critical, and theoretical issues. With its focus on interdisciplinary topics and commitments, the IAPL has played a role in the articulation of many of the most vital and exciting recent developments in philosophy, literature, and the arts. Annual IAPL conferences provide unique opportunities for dialogue and strategic readings, the articulation of contemporary themes and ideas, the exploration of various expressive arts, and the production of new theoretical discourses. Membership in the IAPL (renewable each year beginning January 1st) includes access to conference programs, special discounts on conference registration fees and at conference hotels, receipt of various IAPL brochures and publications, the Bibliography of Books Published by IAPL Members (now in its seventh edition), the opportunity to submit a conference paper, and the support of an extensive range of useful information made available on the IAPL website. Membership also includes a free book from the ongoing Textures series, which consists of uniquely focused volumes of essays derived from previous IAPL conferences. The IAPL organizes an annual book exhibit as an integral part of each year’s conference. Focusing on the theme of the conference, the exhibit features a wide selection of new titles offered by major university and academic presses. This display provides a unique opportunity to peruse, purchase, and order current publications at discounted conference rates. The new and improved IAPL website <www.iapl.info> includes details concerning upcoming conferences, past events, submission forms, and services provided by the IAPL. All of the most current information, arrangements for lodging, travel, and related concerns in connection with IAPL conferences is posted as soon as it is available. Both past and current conference programs are also accessible from this website. Hugh J.

Silverman, IAPL Executive Director Like two fingers pointing up to the Estonian summer sky, the blue and green arch towers that mark the IAPL 2012 conference logo recall Friedrich Nietzsche’s “Gate of the Moment”–the philosophical arch inscribed with the word Augenblick–the gap at the top of the logo. For those familiar with Nietzsche’s third book of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, this moment is an uneasy instant in which one path travels infinitely back into the past and the other infinitely onward into the future. The archaeology of the moment will be–at the same time–an excavation of the imagined spaces of the future and the memorial traces of the past. The gate of the moment–an Augenblick, a blink of the eye, a fleeting present that has no identity without the past behind it and the future ahead of it–can only textualize that which will have been what it is and what seeks to understand what will be what it is not yet. For Nietzsche, this dual path was characterized as the will to live the very moment eternally, as it is. An archaeology of the future, however, will not require such a will to live the present no matter what happens. Rather it will seek to uncover what there is in the past–right up to the present –that will make it possible to understand what will be, what will take place, what will happen, that is, what will have been the event of the now… The future cannot be thought apart from the past along with the very instant of the present. IAPL 2012 with its array of speakers, sessions, inquiries, proposals, interrogations, investigations, and critical projections will seek to interpret, understand, and strategically read the signs of the present by thinking the past in relation to the future. The memories of the past–diaries, memoirs, memorials, monuments, life histories, epitaphs, documentaries, painted scenes of past events, critical readings of aesthetic productions, etc.–are juxtaposed with imagined futures, science fictions, literary reconstructions, filmic inquisitions, plastic potentialities, musical interludes, and philosophical hermeneutics. IAPL 2012 is, after all, the 36th annual conference of one of the most dynamic, exciting, intellectually stimulating international, interdisciplinary professional societies in the broad spectrum of studies and research enterprises in the humanities, arts, and cultural theory. The International Association for Philosophy and Literature has already reached far beyond the frame of its disciplinary names, and yet it maintains its paleonym through the ongoing work of the IAPL as an association of scholars,

  • Reflections on the Production of the Finno-Ugric Exhibitions at the Estonian National Museum
    THE ETHICS OF ETHNOGRAPHIC ATTRACTION: REFLECTIONS ON THE PRODUCTION OF THE FINNO-UGRIC EXHIBITIONS AT THE ESTONIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM SVETLANA KARM Researcher Estonian National Museum Veski 32, 51014 Tartu, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ART LEETE Professor of Ethnology University of Tartu Ülikooli 18, 50090 Tartu, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT We intend to explore* the production of the Finno-Ugric exhibitions at the Esto- nian National Museum. Our particular aim is to reveal methodological changes of ethnographic reproduction and to contextualise the museum’s current efforts in ideologically positioning of the permanent exhibition. Through historical–herme- neutical analysis we plan to establish particular museological trends at the Esto- nian National Museum that have led curators to the current ideological position. The history of the Finno-Ugric displays at the Estonian National Museum and comparative analysis of international museological practices enable us to reveal and interpret different approaches to ethnographic reconstructions. When exhib- iting indigenous cultures, one needs to balance ethnographic charisma with the ethics of display. In order to employ the approach of ethical attraction, curators must comprehend indigenous cultural logic while building up ethnographic rep- resentations. KEYWORDS: Finno-Ugric • permanent exhibition • museum • ethnography • ethics INTRODUCTION At the current time the Estonian National Museum (ENM) is going through the process of preparing a new permanent exhibition space. The major display will be dedicated to Estonian cultural developments. A smaller, although still significant, task is to arrange the Finno-Ugric permanent exhibition. The ENM has been involved in research into the Finno-Ugric peoples as kindred ethnic groups to the Estonians since the museum was * This research was supported by the European Union through the European Regional Devel- opment Fund (Centre of Excellence in Cultural Theory, CECT), and by the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research (projects PUT590 and ETF9271).

After years of studying, I can proudly say that I finished eve- rything and that I am graduated. My studying career was a quite a long one and not always that easy, but it has been a wonderful time where I have learned many things and developed myself. The pro- cess of the master thesis, from the beginning till the end, reflects these previous years perfectly. Alt- hough I am the one who will receive the degree, I could not have done this without the support and help of many during the years of studying in general and during the writing of this thesis in particular. Therefore I would like to thank the ones who helped and supported me. I want to start by thanking my colleagues at Estonian Holidays and especially Maila Saar, Lars Saar and Mari-Liis Makke.

During about the quarter of the century that has elapsed after regaining independence, our scientific landscape has changed radically. The lion’s share of research work is integrated with providing university education. The targets for the following seven years were defined at the very start of the year, in the document adopted by Riigikogu (Parliament) on January 22, 2014 and entitled “Estonian research and development and innovation strategy 2014- 2020. Knowledge-based Estonia”. It starts with the acknowledgement familiar to all of us that the number and complexity of challenges faced by the society is ever increasing.
