The tasks assigned by lawmaker to the Academy have not changed in the past couple of decades, while the interest displayed by representatives of the state to making use of the competence of the Academy has diminished. This is evidenced by the state subsidy (budget) drawn to a minute detail, in particular its size, putting restraints on the Academy’s initiative and giving little leeway for normal organisation of work – for instance, even sending two stu- dents to the traditional conference of the Nobel Prize winners neces- sitates a special request for subsidy from structural funds, because the Academy lacks disposable resources to send two people on a mission. At the same time, the Academy is markedly desirous of participating more effectively in the life of society and the country. This is shown by discussions held in the Academy on principles of funding the research in Estonia and the readiness to participate in drawing background research needed to support the strategic and tactical decisions of the government and Parliament. To carry out such work the Academy has established the Institute for Advances Study, having already made its first tangible agreement. It needs to be ac- knowledged however that the governmental structures are not eager- ly calling for research-based analysis and assistance at preparing their strategic decisions. The sustainable funding of research has become predominantly proj- ect-based, so has the repair of houses and purchase of equipment. The Academy Office has been successful at tenders of the projects – we managed to improve the fire safety of the Academy House with support from structural funds and to enable access to the Academy House also by handicapped people. At the same time, we failed to upgrade the technological infrastructure. Leo Mõtus 5 CHRONICLE January 21 – Board at its meeting discussed the Academy’s Action Plan 2013, approved the new composition of the Committee on Phylogeny and Taxonomy and appointed Ülo Mander to the Evaluation Committee of the Estonian Research Council.

  • 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).

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.

  • Palju Õnne, Karksi Vald! La Nime Kasutamist Piirkonnas Peame Igati Õigustatuks
    • Karksi valla infoleht • Nr 2 (247) veebruar 2017 • Foto: Margus Mõisavald Mis lapsukesele nimeks saab? Tänaseks on küllap iga lehelugeja teadlik, et Karksi, Abja ning Halliste vald ja Mõisaküla linn on allkirjastanud ühinemislepingu, kus kirjas, et oktoobrist ollakse juba loodava Mulgi valla liikmed. On võimalik, et sündiva lapsukese nimeks ei saagi Mulgi, vaid hoopis Abja-Mul- gi, Lääne-Mulgi või Halliste-Karksi. Nimelt leidis vabariigi kohanimenõukogu, et nimi Mulgi on geograafiliselt ja ajalooliselt eksitav ning vajab täiendi lisamist. Eelpool esitatud nimed on loetelu kohanimenõukogu poolt soovitatud nimedest. Meie, see tähendab ühinevate omavalitsuste arvates toetab Mulgi valla nimi ko- hanimeseaduses esitatud nõuet, mille järgi tuleb eelistada nime, mis on paikkonnas tuntud ja levinud ning on oluline aja- ja kultuurilooliselt. Kuivõrd loodav omava- litsus ei hakka hõlmama kogu Mulgimaad, vaid ainult selle keeleliselt läänemulgi murrakurühma jäävat piirkonda, soovime omavalitsuse nimeks Mulgi vald, mitte Mulgimaa vald. Näiteks varasemalt on kohanimenõukogu poolt heaks kiidetud Hiiu valla nimi. Hiiu vald ei hõlma samuti kogu Hiiumaad. Nüüd soovivad taaskord ühinevad hiidlased valla nimeks Hiiumaa valda ning sellele pole kohanimenõukogu heakskiitu andnud.
