An African Alternative : Nordic Migration to South Africa, 1815-1914
Bero Kuparinen ' . AN AFRICAN ALTERNATIVE Nordic Migration to South Africa, 1815-1914 During the 19th century migrations, tens of millions of Europeans exchanged their native lands for new homes beyond the oceans. Although the great majority made their way to North America, the other continents received their share, too. One of the least conspicuous groups of migrants consisted of those moving to South Africa, anp ' they are also amongst the least investigated. In this study the migration to South Africa has been examined in terms of the movement from the four Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. A comprehensive portrait is created of the African Alternative: its origins and causes, its historical development, its volume, patterns of geographical recruitment qnd composition. Who were the migrants, where did they come from, and why?

Streets, Seals Or Seeds As Early Manifestations of Urban Life in Turku, Finland
Streets, seals or seeds as early manifestations of urban life in Turku, Finland Liisa Seppänen In the 2000s, the studies concerning the early phases of urbanization in Finland have re-actualized after many decades. The studies have focused on Turku, which is the oldest town of the present-day Finland and has been a target for many excavations. The focus of this paper is in the beginnings of the urbanization of Turku with the questions when and why the town was founded. The questions are old and discussed in many studies since the early 20th century. In this article, these questions are reflected on the basis recent archaeo- logical findings and the circumstantial evidence from historical sources. I am presenting my interpretation about the course of events, which led to the establishment of Turku. The town was not founded on a virgin land, but it was preceded by human activities like farming and possibly gatherings of religious or commercial nature. The political circum- stances activated the planning of the town in the late 13th century, which were realized in the turn of the 13th and 14th century. It seems, that the urbanization process took several decades and probably it was not until the mid 14th century when Turku met all the bench- marks set for the medieval town. Tracing the earliest evidence red to a more appropriate place. The document is dated in Perugia on the The origins of Turku (fig. 1) have fas- 29th of January in 1229, but it does cinated Finnish historians and archa- not, however, reveal the location of eologists for more than a century. -

Isscr 2013 Program Book
11TH ANNUAL MEEtiNG, BostoN, MA USA ™ BD LSRFortessa X-20 with BD reagents Dear Colleagues: A brilliant new approach to multicolor cell analysis on the benchtop. On behalf of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, we are delighted to welcome you to our 11th Annual Meeting, the largest forum for stem cell and regenerative medicine professionals from around the world. It is also a pleasure to be back in Boston, a historic city that played a key role in the ISSCR’s development, and which features a vibrant stem cell research, biotech, and life science research community. The primary goal of our annual meeting is to provide you with an unparalleled array of opportunities to learn from and interact with your peers, and this year you’ll have more ways to do that than ever before. Additional Poster Session We enjoyed a record number of submitted poster abstracts for 2013. In response to past attendees’ requests for additional time to view and discuss poster presentations, we’ve added a third poster session, giving you a quick and efficient way to keep abreast of the latest scientific advances. “Poster Teasers” and New “Poster Briefs” In 2011, we introduced “poster teasers,” which gave delegates time to share their findings in plenary sessions via 1-minute discussions. They’ve proved so popular with attendees that this year, we’re adding “poster briefs,” 3-minute mini-presentations that give authors of the most highly-rated poster abstracts an opportunity to discuss their work during the concurrent sessions. The burgeoning interest in stem cell research is reflected in our record number of exhibitors this year, 26% of whom are new. -
Ain Kaivain Työtäs Tee?
Pääkirjoitus Tiina Äikäs Ain kaivain työtäs tee? Tätä pääkirjoitusta kirjoittaessani eletään elokuun viimeisiä päiviä; sitä ajankohtaa, jol- loin yliopistojen käytävät – ja kahviot – alkavat vähitellen herätä eloon opintojensa pariin palaavista opiskelijoista. Arkeologian opiskelijoille houkutuksia tarjoavat kuitenkin vielä käynnissä olevat kaivaukset. Ainakin ennen syksyn sateita maan povesta löytyvä tieto saat- taa päihittää luentosaleissa tarjotun. Toisinaan opiskelijoilla innostus kaivauksiin voi kuiten- kin lopullisesti ajaa ohi opiskelua kohtaan tunnetusta kiinnostuksesta. Nämä opiskelijat löytyvät vuosi toisensa jälkeen kaivausten vakiokalustona, mutta luentosaleissa tai yliopis- ton kirjastoissa heitä ei nähdä edes lumen peitettyä maan. Eräilläkin kaupunkikaivauksilla havaittiin kuluneena kesänä seitsemän arkeologian ”opiskelijaa”, joiden opintosuoritusten moodi ja mediaani olivat lukuvuoden 2012–2013 osalta 0 opintopistettä. Yksi kaivajista ei ollut kuluttanut yliopiston luentosalin penkkiä sitten 2000-luvun alun. Kaivauksilla hankitun kokemuksen on perinteisesti katsottu muodostavan yhden, ellei peräti keskeisen osan arkeologin koulutusta. Tällöin on hyväksytty, että opinnot venyvät, koska kevät ja alkusyksy kuluvat työskennellessä. Itsekin sain aikoinaan yliopiston ope- tushenkilökunnan suusta kuulla, ettei arkeologiksi voi valmistua viidessä vuodessa – näin juuri tehtyäni. Se, missä määrin kaikki arkeologeiksi valmistuvat tarvitsevat kenttätaitoja, olisi oma kirjoituksen aiheensa. Tänä kesänä arkeologian pedagogiikkaa eri -

Sen ääntä tarvitaan en- nen kaikkea siinä, että yksittäinen ihminen ei huku politiikan teon keskellä ja että todelliset inhimilli- set arvot ja yhteiskunnan yhteinen hyvä pysyisivät poliittisen järjestelmämme toiminnan perustana ja keskipisteenä. Katolilaisilla on monia erilaisia poliittisia mielipi- teitä, joita heidän on ennen kaikkea uskon ja moraa- lin kysymyksissä tarkasteltava kirkon opetuksen ja opetusviran ohjauksen valossa. Demokraattisen järjestelmän ja uskonnonva- pauden toimivuuden kannalta on syytä kuitenkin panna myönteisesti mer- kille se, että ensimmäistä kertaa itsenäisen Suomen historiassa katolilaisesta on tullut Valtioneuvoston jäsen, kun Timo Soini toimii vastikään nimitetyn hallituksen ulkoministerinä. Kirkon yleismaailmallisuus, joka toteutuu ja on ilmeistä jopa Suomen pie- nessä katolisessa yhteisössä, auttaa ymmärtämään maailmaa hyvin moni- puolisesti ja laaja-alaisesti. Katolisen – ja ylipäänsä uskonnollisen – maail- mankatsomuksen tuntemus ja kunnioitus on varmasti hyödyksi kaikessa kansainvälisessä yhteistyössä. * -
One Martyr, Two Pilgrimages: the Commemoration of a 12Th-Century Bishop As a Spiritual Movement in the Late 20Th Century
ONE MARTYR, TWO PILGRIMAGES: THE COMMEMORATION OF A 12TH-CENTURY BISHOP AS A SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT IN THE LATE 20TH CENTURY Pertti Anttone n Department of Folklore, University of Helsinki FIN-00014 Helsinki, Fabianinkatu 33. P.O. Box 3, Finland In this paper I will discuss how two spiritual organizations and movements in pres- ent-day Finland, the Catholic congregation and the Ecumenical movement, have, during the last 40 years, employed and appropriated the historical memory and narrative tradition concerning the allegedly first bishop in Finland, Bishop Henry, and how they have organ- ized pilgrimages to the commemorative monument erected near the site where the bishop was martyred. On the one hand, my discussion will focus on the ways in which the appropriation of history and tradition contributes to the creation of a popular religious community, and, on the other, the ways in which the pilgrims’ movement in space and time receives its meaning as a movement in society - in other words, as a social movement. THE MEDIEVAL NARRATIVE OF BISHOP HENRY According to clerical and popular sources from the 13th and 14th centuries and later - as well as countless Finnish history books which draw on these sources - the first cru- sade to what is presently known as Finland was made in 1155 by Erik Jedvardsson, the King of Upland, who was later to become the King of Sweden, Erik EX. This was a jour- ney of war, trade and missionary zeal in which Erik was accompanied by an allegedly English-bom bishop named Henry (Henrik), who had - according to the legends - re- cently been nominated the bishop of Uppsala. -

'King of Sweden, the Götar and the Wends'... What About the Finns
‘King of Sweden, the Götar and the Wends’... What about the Finns?: Investigating Finland’s absence from Swedish royal titulature in medieval and Early Modern Sweden Caroline Wilhelmsson University of Aberdeen Abstract: This article is about Swedish royal titulature and Finland’s absence from it. It is concerned with understanding why Finland, which was officially integrated into the Swedish kingdom in the thirteenth century, was never acknowledged in the short form of the Swedish royal title although others were, despite not being officially Swedish subjects. The article looks at the development of early medieval royal titles, including their meaning, and the context of their introduction and use. It then proposes several theories to try and address Finland’s lack of representation. These hypotheses require an investigation of alternative historical definitions of some of the ethnonyms used in royal titulature, and revaluate our understanding of Finland’s relationship with Sweden in the medieval and Early Modern periods. The study concludes that while a definite answer cannot be given, Finland’s native population might have been eclipsed from public view by the cultural Swedish elite. In addition, a historically negative reputation may have encouraged its exclusion from royal honours. It is also possible that Finland was included under a different terminology born out of the Early Modern Period’s reinterpretation of the past. Finally, evidence points to Finland being treated as its own entity separate from the rest of the kingdom. 46 Wilhelmsson, ‘Investigating Finland’s Absence from Sweden’s Royal Titulature’ 1. INTRODUCTION Upon his accession to the throne in 1973, the current Swedish monarch, Carl XVI Gustaf, altered his official title to become known only as ‘King of Sweden’.1 Until then, the monarch’s official, shortened title had traditionally been ‘(By God’s grace) King of Sweden, the Götar and the Wends’.2 Unsurprisingly, royal titles in Sweden have not always been the same throughout the centuries. -
