An Examination of the Role of Nationalism in Estonia’S Transition from Socialism to Capitalism
De oeconomia ex natione: An Examination of the Role of Nationalism in Estonia’s Transition from Socialism to Capitalism Thomas Marvin Denson IV Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science Besnik Pula, Committee Chair Courtney I.P. Thomas Charles L. Taylor 2 May 2017 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Estonia, post-Soviet, post-socialist, neoliberalism, nationalism, nationalist economy, soft nativism Copyright © 2017 by Thomas M. Denson IV De oeconomia ex natione: An Examination of the Role of Nationalism in Estonia’s Transition from Socialism to Capitalism Thomas Marvin Denson IV Abstract This thesis explores the role played by nationalism in Estonia’s transition to capitalism in the post-Soviet era and the way it continues to impact the Estonian economy. I hypothesize that nationalism was the key factor in this transition and that nationalism has placed a disproportionate economic burden on the resident ethnic Russians. First, I examine the history of Estonian nationalism. I examine the Estonian nationalist narrative from its beginning during the Livonian Crusade, the founding of Estonian nationalist thought in the late 1800s with a German model of nationalism, the conditions of the Soviet occupation, and the role of song festivals in Estonian nationalism. Second, I give a brief overview of the economic systems of Soviet and post-Soviet Estonia. Finally, I examine the impact of nationalism on the Estonian economy. To do this, I discuss the nature of nationalist economy, the presence of an ethno-national divide between the Estonians and Russians, and the impact of nationalist policies in citizenship, education, property rights, and geographical location. -
VIRGE LOO PORTFOLIO Virgeloo.Tumblr.Com [email protected]
VIRGE LOO PORTFOLIO virgeloo.tumblr.com [email protected] SAH SAH (2015) Sah Sah explores ideas about our connectedness with environments by looking at sound as a phenomena that is able to shape our nature in a longer period of time. The title derives from an Estonian word “sahin” which describes the sound of rustling tree leaves. This inspiring natural phenomena is the core of a personal sound memory and is related to artist’s cultural background. This art project gives a peek into a Nordic mindset and investigates if a geocultural phenomena could be universally perceived. An interwoven set of works were created by visualising the characteristics of sound in a still image and using these painted images to set the sound in motion again – thus creating a circle of transitions. Sah Sah consists of ink paintings, video and sound. The sound was designed by Sander Saarmets. Sah Sah consists of series of seven large scale (95x180cm) and 45 smaller (30x20cm) ink paintings. Sah Sah video (10:10) was made in collaboration with Sander Saarmets. Video: youtu.be/_ctjiDVyq84 Works shown at solo exhibition SAH SAH 8/05 – 12/05/2015 thesahsahs.tumblr.com WORK IN PROGRESS (2015) Work in Progress focused on my creative process. By mapping various elements and activities involved in creating a finalised artwork, the audience got a glimpse into artist’s creative process. The visually organised “mind map” on a blackboard was a temporary and developing (representation of) work in progress. The exhibition space was set up like a studio, with tools and objects, unfinished potential artworks and leftovers. -

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. -

A Selection of Master Theses from 20131
ESTONIAN URBANISTS' REVIEW 14 IN ACADEMY IN ACADEMY The column "In Academy" gathers a selection of master theses on urban issues defended in spring 2013. In addition to urban studies, urban governance and architecture, urban issues are relevant for study programs from varied fields, both humanities and sciences – therefore we don't dare to claim that the list is in any way complete. But it is certain that our job market will be opened to a quite impressive number of people who are thinking about cities. Following our intuition we chose some authors to give a closer overview of their thesis. The following texts are seeds, first insights to the works and themes.

HIGHER EDUCATION IN ESTONIA HIGHER EDUCATION IN ESTONIA ARCHIMEDES FOUNDATION Estonian Academic Recognition Information Centre HIGHER EDUCATION IN ESTONIA Fourth Edition TALLINN 2010 Compiled and edited by: Gunnar Vaht Liia Tüür Ülla Kulasalu With the support of the Lifelong Learning Programme/NARIC action of the European Union Cover design and layout: AS Ajakirjade Kirjastus ISBN 978-9949-9062-6-0 HIGHER EDUCATION IN ESTONIA PREFACE The current publication is the fourth edition of Higher Education in Es- tonia. The first edition was compiled in collaboration with the Estonian Ministry of Education in 1998, the second and the third (revised) edition appeared in 2001 and 2004 respectively. This edition has been considerably revised and updated to reflect the many changes that have taken place in the course of higher education reforms in general, and in the systems of higher education cycles and qualifications in particular, including the changes in the quality assess- ment procedures. The publication is an information tool for all those concerned with higher education in its international context. It contains information about the Estonian higher education system and the higher education institutions, meant primarily for use by credential evaluation and recognition bodies, such as recognition information centres, higher education institutions and employers. This information is necessary for a better understanding of Estonian qualifications and for their fair recognition in foreign countries. Taking into account the fact that credential evaluators and competent recogni- tion authorities in other countries will come across qualifications of the former systems, this book describes not only the current higher educa- tion system and the corresponding qualifications, but also the qualifica- tions of the former systems beginning with the Soviet period. -
1 Life Between Two Panels Soviet Nonconformism in the Cold War Era
Life Between Two Panels Soviet Nonconformism in the Cold War Era DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Clinton J. Buhler, M.A. Graduate Program in History of Art * * * * * The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Myroslava M. Mudrak, Advisor Dr. Kris Paulsen Dr. Jessie Labov Dr. Aron Vinegar 1 Copyright by Clinton J. Buhler 2013 2 Abstract Beneath the façade of total conformity in the Soviet Union, a dynamic underground community of artists and intellectuals worked in forced isolation. Rejecting the mandates of state-sanctioned Socialist Realist art, these dissident artists pursued diverse creative directions in their private practice. When they attempted to display their work publicly in 1974, the carefully crafted façade of Soviet society cracked, and the West became aware of a politically subversive undercurrent in Soviet cultural life. Responding to the international condemnation of the censorship, Soviet officials allowed and encouraged the emigration of the nonconformist artists to the West. This dissertation analyzes the foundation and growth of the nonconformist artistic movement in the Soviet Union, focusing on a key group of artists who reached artistic maturity in the Brezhnev era and began forging connections in the West. The first two chapters of the dissertation center on works that were, by and large, produced before emigration to the West. In particular, I explore the growing awareness of artists like Oleg Vassiliev of their native artistic heritage, especially the work of Russian avant-garde artists like Kazimir Malevich. I look at how Vassiliev, in a search for an alternative form of expression to the mandated form of art, took up the legacy of nineteenth-century Realism, avant-garde abstraction, and Socialist Realism.
