The Role of the Kalevala in Finnish Culture and Politics URPO VENTO Finnish Literature Society, Finland
Nordic Journal of African Studies 1(2): 82–93 (1992) The Role of the Kalevala in Finnish Culture and Politics URPO VENTO Finnish Literature Society, Finland The question has frequently been asked: would Finland exist as a nation state without Lönnrot's Kalevala? There is no need to answer this, but perhaps we may assume that sooner or later someone would have written the books which would have formed the necessary building material for the national identity of the Finns. During the mid 1980s, when the 150th anniversary of the Kalevala was being celebrated in Finland, several international seminars were held and thousands of pages of research and articles were published. At that time some studies appeared in which the birth of the nation state was examined from a pan-European perspective. SMALL NATION STATES "The nation state - an independent political unit whose people share a common language and believe they have a common cultural heritage - is essentially a nineteenth-century invention, based on eighteenth-century philosophy, and which became a reality for the most part in either the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. The circumstances in which this process took place were for the most part marked by the decline of great empires whose centralised sources of power and antiquated methods of administrations prevented an effective response to economic and social change, and better education, with all the aspirations for freedom of thought and political action that accompany such changes." Thus said Professor Michael Branch (University of London) at a conference on the literatures of the Uralic peoples held in Finland in the summer of 1991.

Der har været stor interesse for temaet, og de optagne artikler kommer ind på mange forskellige aspekter og rummer spændende og provokende synspunkter. Men temaet er dermed langt fra udtømt, og vi håber – som også Marc Maure, inviteret medredaktør og ophavsmanden til temaet, skriver i nedenstående forord – at Nor- disk Museologi hermed har skabt grobund for mere systematisk forskning i de nor- diske landes brug af udstillingsmediet, historisk og på tværs af landegrænser og fag.

The Russian state came into being during the ninth century along the shores of the waterways between the Baltic Sea and Constantinople. Novgorod was in the north and Kiev at the midway point.

National Museums in Finland Susanna Pettersson
Building National Museums in Europe 1750-2010. Conference proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Bologna 28-30 April 2011. Peter Aronsson & Gabriella Elgenius (eds) EuNaMus Report No 1. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=064 © The Author. National Museums in Finland Susanna Pettersson Summary This report analyses the growth of the Finnish museum scene from its early beginnings in the nineteenth century through to the big national museum organizations: the Finnish National Gallery, the National Museum of Finland and the Natural History Museum. The timeframe is particularly interesting due to the historical setting: when the first initiatives to form national collections saw the light of day, the country was in the midst of political turmoil. Separation from Sweden had taken place in 1809, and Finland, as a Grand Duchy of Russia, was searching for a new identity. The nation-building process, driven by Swedish-speaking academics, artists and politicians, was visible in all sectors, from the fine arts to literature, history writing and science. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, language-policy issues divided the field into two separate camps. Favouring either the Finnish or Swedish language became a political matter. When the country gained independence from Russia in 1917, an express need for national institutions such as national museums became evident. Nationalism reached a peak and was seen and heard in architecture, the fine arts, literature and music. The civil war in 1918 and, later on, the World War did not close the museums, but affected their work on a very practical level.

2.Geber-10 .Pmd
19 Erik Geber Språkets och språkens bety- delse för Uno Cygnaeus reform- arbete Det har genom åren, särskilt under jubileumsår, skrivits rätt mycket om Uno Cygnaeus (1810–1888) som person och om olika sidor av hans reformarbete, men nästan ingenting, annat än i förbifarten, om hans språkkunskaper och om språkets och språkens betydelse för hans livsgärning. Bristen är förvånansvärd men förståelig: förvånansvärd på grund av flerspråkighetens betydelse för den framväxande nationen, men samtidigt förståelig därför att hans modersmål och helt naturligt den tiden också bildningsspråket var svenska, liksom för de flesta nationella förgrundsgestalterna i Finland under 1800-talet. T.ex. J.V. Snellman, M.A. Castrén, Y.S. Yrjö-Koskinen m.fl., som arbetade för att höja finskans status, måste i något skede tillägna sig eller studera finska för att trovärt och effektivt kunna göra det, medan t.ex. en Elias Lönnrot eller Aleksis Kivi, som var av finsk börd och ville gå den lärda vägen, redan innan eller senast när de började sin skolgång måste arbeta hårt för att lära sig svenska och kunna avancera: de sattes i trivialskolan på den s.k. apologistklassen, gick i någon förberedande skola eller fick privatundervisning. Språket var med andra ord på 1800-talet i mycket hög grad en ståndsfråga. Syftet med denna artikel är därför att i några drag gå igenom Uno Cygnaeus liv och verksamhet och granska hans språk- kunskaper och deras betydelse. Framställningen kommer delvis att handla om djupare frågor än språkfärdigheten, men ganska litet om attityder. Uno Cygnaeus (i fortsättningen UC) hörde nämligen liksom Runeberg, Topelius och Lönnrot till dem som 20 inte ville engagera sig i den på 1870- och 80-talet uppblossande språkstriden.
