Legend Has It That the First Russian Czar of the Romanov Dynasty Legend has it that the first Russian czar 80 of the Romanov dynasty, Mikhail Feodorovich, was born in the house of his grandfather, Boyar Nikita Romanovich Zakharyin-Yuriev. This house, one of the oldest in Moscow, is still there. In 2013 the RAS Institute of Ethnology 73 and Anthropology turned eighty. Its regular, tenth, congress held in Moscow last summer had kudos for the job done. Lying in the coastal area 103 of southern Primorye, or the Maritime Region, is the Far Eastern Natural Sanctuary in care of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Also out there is the Krabbe Peninsula, an open-air mineralogical museum with its old dead volcanoes and deposits of industrial stones.

Sc. (Geol. & Mineral.), Senior Research Fellow, Petrology and Volcanology Laboratory, Far Eastern Institute of Geology, RAS Far Eastern Branch, Vladivostok, Russia Southern Primorye, or the Maritime Region of the Russian Far East, is unique in many ways. A region described with much love by such great travelers and naturalists as Nikolai Przewalski, Yuri and Valery Jankowskis, and by story writer Mikhail Prishvin. Most of this ecosystem is under the Far Eastern Sea and Biosphere Preserve in care of the Russian Academy of Sciences, together with the adjacent Khasan Natural Park. As a major area of international ecology and research tourism it needs special care and attention. Its geological objects (Krabbe and Novgorodsky peninsulas above all) are in fact open-air mineralogical museums with old, now dormant volcanoes that became inactive thirty million years ago. This is a mineral-rich territory with deposits of industrial stones— opal, chalcedony, agate… hese two peninsulas, Krabbe and Novgorodsky, The author of the present article also made a close attracted geologists long ago.

  • Transnational Finnish Mobilities: Proceedings of Finnforum XI
    Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen This volume is based on a selection of papers presented at Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) the conference FinnForum XI: Transnational Finnish Mobili- ties, held in Turku, Finland, in 2016. The twelve chapters dis- cuss two key issues of our time, mobility and transnational- ism, from the perspective of Finnish migration. The volume is divided into four sections. Part I, Mobile Pasts, Finland and Beyond, brings forth how Finland’s past – often imagined TRANSNATIONAL as more sedentary than today’s mobile world – was molded by various short and long-distance mobilities that occurred FINNISH MOBILITIES: both voluntarily and involuntarily. In Part II, Transnational Influences across the Atlantic, the focus is on sociocultural PROCEEDINGS OF transnationalism of Finnish migrants in the early 20th cen- tury United States. Taken together, Parts I and II show how FINNFORUM XI mobility and transnationalism are not unique features of our FINNISH MOBILITIES TRANSNATIONAL time, as scholars tend to portray them. Even before modern communication technologies and modes of transportation, migrants moved back and forth and nurtured transnational ties in various ways. Part III, Making of Contemporary Finn- ish America, examines how Finnishness is understood and maintained in North America today, focusing on the con- cepts of symbolic ethnicity and virtual villages. Part IV, Con- temporary Finnish Mobilities, centers on Finns’ present-day emigration patterns, repatriation experiences, and citizen- ship practices, illustrating how, globally speaking, Finns are privileged in their ability to be mobile and exercise transna- tionalism. Not only is the ability to move spread very uneven- ly, so is the capability to upkeep transnational connections, be they sociocultural, economic, political, or purely symbol- ic.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

  • 2011 Final Programopens in a New Window
    2011 Hawaii International Conference on Arts and Humanities Honolulu, Hawaii Welcome to the Ninth Annual Hawaii International Conference on Arts & Humanities Aloha! We welcome you to the Ninth Annual Hawaii International Conference on Arts & Humanities. This event offers a rare opportunity for academics and other professionals from around the world to share their broad array of perspectives. True to its primary goal, this conference provides those with cross-disciplinary interests related to arts and humanities to meet and interact with others inside and outside their own discipline. The international attendees to this conference bring a variety of viewpoints shaped by different cultures, languages, geography and politics. This diversity is also captured in the Hawaii International Conference’s unique cross-disciplinary approach. The resulting interaction energizes research as well as vocation. With Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head and the vast South Pacific as the backdrop, this venue is an important dimension of this conference. For centuries a stopping place of explorers, Hawaii has historically been enriched by the blend of ideas that have crossed our shores. The Hawaii International Conference on Arts & Humanities continues this tradition in the nurturing spirit of Aloha. Along with its ideal weather and striking beauty, the Hawaiian Islands provide natural elements to inspire learning and dialogue. The 2010 conference was a great success. We hosted more than 600 participants representing more than 25 countries. Thank you for joining the 2011 Hawaii International Conference on Arts & Humanities! The 2012 Hawaii International Conference on Arts & Humanities will be held January 10 – 13, 2012 at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa and the Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.
