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.

  • Estonia Economy Briefing: the 'Budgetary Talks'
    ISSN: 2560-1601 Vol. 21, No. 2 (EE) Sept 2019 Estonia economy briefing: The ‘budgetary talks’: how to find the sources to cover all sorts of promises? E-MAP Foundation MTÜ 1052 Budapest Petőfi Sándor utca 11. +36 1 5858 690 Kiadó: Kína-KKE Intézet Nonprofit Kft. [email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 The ‘budgetary talks’: how to find the sources to cover all sorts of promises? The ‘budgetary talks’: how to find the sources to cover all sorts of promises? In a well-functioning democracy, the ‘budgetary talks’ is always a relatively transparent ‘conversation’ on how to reconcile numerous political promises with the money in hand. Without a question, Estonia is a liberal democracy, but, given the specific composition of the current governmental coalition in the country, the aforementioned ‘conversation’ is promising to be extremely diverse at its best and highly populistic at its worst. An avalanche of promises arrives from the widest possible ‘spectrum’ – narratives from both political right and left are getting mixed up with some ideas of undetermined political nature, which can be more related to science fiction rather than responsible politics. In any case, all will come to a point of completing a budget for 2020 very soon. In order to get the process off the ground, the Estonian Ministry of Finance commenced the talk with delivering its summer economic forecast. It was reported that the Estonian economy, while still under pressure of having the government’s structural budgetary deficit (from 2019 until, most probably, 2023), will be into growth by 3.3% this year and is expected to grow further by 2.2% in 20201.

  • Home and Nostalgia in Postsocialist Estonia
    REFUGE OR resOurCE: HOme AND NOstALGIA in POstsOCIAlist EstOniA ANU KANNIKE PhD, Researcher Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies University of Tallinn Uus-Sadama 5, 10120 Tallinn, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The focus of this article is on nostalgia as it appears in the representations of home- decoration in postsocialist Estonia. This theme is explored, describing a dialogue and conflict between different versions of relating to the past. The empirical ma- terial comprises qualitatively analysed in-depth interviews and articles in home- decoration journals from 1997–2008. Examining some dimensions and mechanisms of nostalgia in this specific context enables to demonstrate how is transforma- tion from Soviet everyday culture into Western consumer culture conceptualised through ideas about the home. I will suggest that in Estonian everyday life nos- talgia is not only a form of escapism into the past from the uncertain present and identity problems, but it also works as a resource to cope with the traumatic past, negotiate and forge new identities. KEYWORDS: home • postsocialism • nostalgia • consumption • heritage IntrODUCtiON All through human history and culture the dwelling has been a complex of images that offer proofs or illusions of stability to a human being. It is one of the central integra- tors of a man’s thoughts, memories and dreams (Bachelard 1999: 54). In contemporary Western world the home has remained an important arena that mirrors the interplay between society and individual, it is a way of organising everyday life and privacy. A home can be seen as social practice – it brings together the levels of ideology and every- day.

  • Replacement of Urban Space: Estonian Post-War Town Planning Principles and Local Stalinist Industrial Towns
    JOURNAL OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM ISSN 2029–7955 / eISSN 2029–7947 2016 Volume 40(4): 283–294 doi:10.3846/20297955.2016.1247999 Urban design in the Baltics: studies, research and practice REPLACEMENT OF URBAN SPACE: ESTONIAN POST-WAR TOWN PLANNING PRINCIPLES AND LOCAL STALINIST INDUSTRIAL TOWNS Siim SULTSON Department of Architecture and Urban Studies, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn, Estonia E-mail: [email protected] Received 29 February 2016; accepted 7 October 2016 Abstract. The presented paper focuses on Estonian urban space research concerning both replacement of urban heritage and esta- blishment of new urban design within the period of mid 1940s and 1950s. On the one hand, Stalinist principles brought by Soviet occupation reminded independent Estonian 1930s town planning ambitions. On the other hand, the new principles formulated a new paradigm that was unfamiliar to local urban space tradition. Estonian urban space was compelled to follow the Soviet doctrine by concept, forms and building materials. Sometimes suffering irrational demolitions the towns got axially arranged representative, but perspective and functional plans. Some existing towns (for instance Tallinn, Pärnu, Narva) got new centres due to war wrecka- ges and the ideological reasons. Meanwhile new industrial towns as examples of Stalinist utopia were built in East-Estonia during 1940s–1950s in order to exploit local mineral resources by the Soviet regime. In comparison with Tallinn and Pärnu urban space of East-Estonian industrial towns Kohtla-Järve and classified Sillamäe – designed in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) – still need to be researched. Though different from the rest of Estonian towns by details and materials of façades city-like centres of Sillamäe and Kohtla-Järve are rather similar to Tallinn and Pärnu by their composition.

A Master’s degree does not automatically make someone’s art or ideas bett er, but it does provide greater scope for creative development. For over 100 years, the Estonian Academy of Arts has served as the national leader in art and design, and through the work of its students and alumni has created the look of Estonia. In our current time of cross-cultural exchange, EAA seeks to share our specialised knowledge — from Blacksmithing to Animation to Urban Studies and more — with eager learners from beyond our borders. And we hope to likewise be enriched by the breadth of experiences and cultures that international students bring with them. www.artun.ee/masters One of EAA’s primary aims is to be an island of freedom in a world where those whose brains are limited by standard measures try to measure our immeasurable work. In a world ruled by Excel tables, as long as art manages to fulfi l its role as a centre of resistance there is still hope.

  • MART KALM — Modernism in Estonia: from Industrialist's Villa To
    MODERNISM: BETWEEN NOSTALGIA AND CRITICISM 15 MART KALM — Modernism In Estonia: From Industrialist’s Villa To Kolkhoz Centre 16 APF02 Good evening. I am glad to be here and it has been a great honour for me to be invited. The curators asked me to choose a book and I see that many of the colleagues have not chosen their own book. However, I have chosen my own book, in which I wrote about Estonian architecture, this particular book was published around ten years ago and it represents the first twenty-five years of my work in Estonia. Of course it is possible to go deeper in some areas, but the majority of the best things are covered. It doesn’t necessarily pose a problem for others, but it does for me as to what I should do next. The younger art historians have been critical saying that I have tried to establish a kind of canon. This is true, it does represent some kind of canon, but in a way this was unavoid- able. Also, I represent Estonian architecture by a great narrative, it is also true that it grew out of my course at the Estonian Academy of Arts, which by now I have read more than twenty years already. It is the history of Estonian modern architecture and the book is a survey of it. But also in a Post-Communist context it was neces- sary to write a book which gave a kind of “pedigree” to the Esto- nian architects. It would be stupid if each generation started the discovery of the bicycle again and again and they weren’t aware of what their fathers and grandfathers had done before them.

  • Art History and Nationalism During the 19Th Century (Tallinn, 27-28 Sep 13)
    Art History and Nationalism during the 19th Century (Tallinn, 27-28 Sep 13) Institute of Art History, Estonian Academy of Arts, Tallinn, Sep 27–28, 2013 Registration deadline: Sep 20, 2013 Kristina Jõekalda The Institute of Art History of the Estonian Academy of Arts is organizing a seminar entitled „De- bating German Heritage: Art History and Nationalism during the Long 19th Century“ together with the Estonian Graduate School of Culture Studies and Arts. It will be held at the Institute of Art History, Estonian Academy of Arts, Tallinn (Suur-Kloostri 11, auditoria 103 and 104) on 27th–28th September 2013. Keynote speakers are Prof. Hubert Locher (Philipp University of Marburg) and Prof. Winfried Speitkamp (University of Kassel). This 2-day intensive seminar will focus on the research on heritage and knowledge production that has become a distinct direction in the humanities of recent decades, often intermingled with studies on nationalism. Constructing knowledge (incl. historiography), heritage or nations indeed has many similarities. Moreover, in their present form, the discipline of art history, the institution of heritage protection, and nationalism as such were all born during – or at least strongly affected by – the 19th century. The aim of this seminar would be to take full advantage of the inter- and transnational character of these ideas in the course of the long 19th century, when the national perspectives were only beginning to emerge and today’s state borders did not yet define the objects of research. With a focus on the Baltic region, as well as the heritage of German (medie- val) art and architecture elsewhere in (Eastern) Europe, this comparative event seeks to approach questions of dissonance and (dis)inheritance.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the landscapes of cities located within its former boundaries have undergone dramatic change. In some cases these changes have been heavily influenced by the surge of ethnic identity and nationalism prevalent across the former Soviet bloc. This project specifically looks at the roles ethnicity and nationalism have had in determining the development of the Sovi et and Post -Soviet urban landscapes in Tallinn, Estonia and Kazan, Russia.
