Working on this research project would have been utterly dull without the support, comments and criticisms of many intelligent, creative and lovable people, as well as the discussions and laughs shared with them. All of the people who are thanked in the following – as well as others who are not men- tioned by name here – have generously given their time in different ways: most often by reading, commenting, or chatting to me about the project. First of all, without the employees of the Globe this work would not ex- ist. I appreciate your openness to different ideas as well as your patience with my research project. Your courage in your work has made an impact on the lives of many women. You cannot be thanked enough. My supervisors have been Harriet Silius and Laura Huttunen. I started the PhD while working on an EU-project together with Harriet, which im- plied quite a bit of travelling and getting to know many colleagues from other European locations. She has supervised the work from the beginning and has always shown total confidence in my work and ability to carry it out. Thank you Harriet for your support, open-mindedness and travel com- panionship. I was luckier than I could anticipate having Laura as supervisor midway in the process. Laura has read and carefully commented on the work in all of its phases. Thank you Laura for thinking through the work with me, and, as importantly, for laughter and friendship. Pre-reviewers are the first ones to read the entire manuscript without any accompanying explanations and excuses. I had the benefit of Laura Assmuth and Paulina de los Reyes as pre-reviewers. Their encouraging reports made me believe that the work can carry itself and that it indeed is ready (enough). I am also very thankful for the comments that helped me to improve the manuscript. I want to thank both of you for the generous comments and utterly careful reading. 10 This work has been physically conducted at the department of Women’s Studies at Åbo Akademi University. “Kvinnis” forms a unique and some- times intense environment in terms of intellectual and collegial interac- tion. There are many colleagues who have generously commented on texts, discussed critical points and in different ways pushed forward the research process. I want to thank my imagined Kvinnis community Ann-Catrin Öst- man, Ann-Louise Grönholm, Elina Oinas, Eve Hed-Kattelus, Harriet Silius, Jutta Ahlbeck, Katarina Jungar, Kattis Honkanen, Kristin Mattson, Lotta Palmgren, Malin Siimes, Marika Kivinen, Mickan Kinnari, Salla Peltonen, Sari Irni and Suvi Keskinen. I also want to thank all those who work at other departments and have participated in the Kvinnis seminars. I have had the luxury of working closely with many colleagues involved in post- colonial theory (and politics); thank you Sari, Suvi, Katarina and Marika in particular. Kattis’ comments and ideas are at once creative, challenging and supportive – and usually unique. During the fieldwork process, Kattis was in many ways a “work supervisor” with whom I could discuss all kinds of aspects of the fieldwork. Mickan has been one of my closest colleagues dur- ing the last years of the process; she is a sharp and broadminded scholar and a great colleague. Salla has brought to our discussions important insights into aspects of feminist theory often taken-for-granted. I want to thank Elina for collegial friendship and discussions ranging from the critique of empower- ment to bringing up dogs. Jutta’s comments are always at once encouraging and professional. Eve is one of the cornerstones of the department; thank you for your engagement and patience. I spent half a year writing and studying at the University of Lancaster, in the United Kingdom. This was a productive and pleasurable time. I had the opportunity of supervision by Anne-Marie Fortier and I remember the discussions we had with much warmth. I was lucky to meet Gail Lewis in Lancaster

The approach highlights especially the meaning of socio•historical and religious factors in the emergence of the Mission view of Messianic Jewish women. Ukraine, the location of this study case, is an ex•Soviet country of about 48 million citizens with 100 ethnic nationalities. Members of the Jewish Faith form one of those ethnic groups. Following the Russian revolution in 1989 and then the establishing of an independent Ukraine in 1991, the country descended into economic disaster with many consequent social problems.

  • Nationalism Manuscript NN1549
    Lauenstein, Murer, Boos & Reicher Nationalism, Gender and the Representation ‘Oh motherland I pledge to thee…’: A Study into Nationalism, Gender and the Representation of an Imagined Family Within National Anthems. Nations, Walzer (1967, quoted after Cerulo 1995: 3) notes, have to be ‘imagined before they can be conceived and symbolised before they can be loved’. Even within academic debates, symbolic representations are sometimes at the core of understandings of nationhood: Anderson’s (1983) use of the emblematic Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to illustrate the ‘imagined community’ is a prominent example. Arguably, representations like this are part and parcel of engaging with nations both theoretically as well as empirically. Most theories within nationalism studies employ some kind of metaphor, analogy or other symbolic representation to buttress their claims or make them more easily comprehensible. To provide some examples, Smith's (1991) notion of belonging is strongly linked to understanding nationhood as akin to clans or tribes; Breuilly’s (1993) emphasis on statehood and sovereignty is reminiscent of bureaucratic imagery; and when Gellner (2006) stresses the importance of a common culture, a state-sponsored educational programme comes to mind. Given that inventing national symbols and traditions is an inherent part of nation-building (Hobsbawn 1990), finding them mirrored in academic debates is hardly surprising. While analysing the analogies drawn on by scholars in the field of nationalism studies would be a fascinating project in its own right, the aim of this paper is somewhat different. Firstly, in revisiting some of the major feminist critiques levelled against prominent theories on nationhood, we aim to illustrate how some imaginations of nationhood will lead us to – deliberately or not – omit crucial differences and inequalities within the nation.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

Helsingin yliopiston Opiskelijakirjasto www.opiskelijakirjasto.lib.helsinki.fi [email protected] Erkki Pihkala The Political Economy of Post-War Finland, 1945- 19521 ABSTRACT The paper is primarily concerned with the Finnish government's management of the Finnish economic situation after the Second World War. Overall, post-war policies were dominated by three main goals, first, how to deal with the war reparation pay- ments required under the harsh political terms of the 1944 Armistice Treaty; sec- ondly, to ensure the settlement of the Karelian refugees and demobilised veterans; and thirdly, the raising of production and the standard of living, including the easing of the rationing system. The focus is especially in analysing how this was financed externally and by the state economy without hyperinflation and considerable indebt- edness of the state. From the point of view of the government finances, the financing of the war was transformed to the financing of the war reparations, the compen- sations due to the war and the settlement of the homeless people. The paper has drawn on the findings of the Studies of the Economic Growth of Finland and other sources and can be seen as a sequel to a previous article on the Finnish war econo- 2 my between 1939–1945.
