Cabaret Jamon 22 5 – 11 DECEMBER 2013 WHERE TO GO HELSINKI TIMES COMPILED BY ANNA-MAIJA LAPPI KIM LAINE Cabaret Jamon Cirko Center´s autumn season culminates in an exciting cabaret show combining live music, loud laughs and high voltage circus acts from aerial acrobatics to clownery. Cabaret Jamon, directed by circus artist and renowned juggler Maksim Komaro from Circo Aereo and visualized by artist Jani Leinonen and shoe/fashion designer Minna Parikka, brings on stage a cavalcade of international cir- cus artists and musicians. The four female artists, Zenaida Alcalde, Lisa Angberg, Cristina Geninazzi ja Klara Mossberg from Italy, Spain and Sweden, have all been working earlier in the British contemporary circus ensemble NoFitState. In Cabaret Jamon, this enchanting quartet is joined by Thomas Monckton, a virtuoso co- median and mimic hailing from New Zealand. Monckton´s latest work, The Pianist, has been delight- ing both critics and audiences since its premiere in September 2013. “The world of contemporary circus is extremely fascinating. Aerial acrobatics, for instance, brings completely new challenges to costume design… It´s difficult not get inspired by the spectacular vir- tuosity. (In Cabaret Jamon) We will create another world full of colors, vibes and humor – and high heels of course. ”, promise Minna Parikka and Jani Leinonen.

  • The Construction of Hip Hop Identities in Finnish Rap Lyrics Through English and Language Mixing
    UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ ”BUUZZIA, BUDIA JA HYVÄÄ GHETTOBOOTYA” - THE CONSTRUCTION OF HIP HOP IDENTITIES IN FINNISH RAP LYRICS THROUGH ENGLISH AND LANGUAGE MIXING A Pro Gradu Thesis in English by Elina Westinen Department of Languages 2007 HUMANISTINEN TIEDEKUNTA KIELTEN LAITOS Elina Westinen ”BUUZZIA, BUDIA JA HYVÄÄ GHETTOBOOTYA” - THE CONSTRUCTION OF HIP HOP IDENTITIES IN FINNISH RAP LYRICS THROUGH ENGLISH AND LANGUAGE MIXING Pro gradu –tutkielma Englannin kieli Joulukuu 2007 141 sivua Englannin kielen rooli ja asema maailmankielenä on kiistaton, ja Suomessakin englannin kieltä käytetään monilla eri aloilla. Juuriltaan amerikkalaisesta hip hop – kulttuuristakin on viime vuosina kasvanut globaali nuorisokulttuuri, joka on saavuttanut pysyvän aseman Suomessa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten hip hop –identiteetti rakentuu suomalaisissa rap–lyriikoissa. Päätavoitteena on tutkia, millainen hip hop –identiteetti muodostuu lyriikoiden englannin kielen ja kielten sekoittumisen (suomi ja englanti) kautta. Tutkimuksen aineistona käytetään kolmen eri hip hop –artistin ja – ryhmän (Cheek, Sere & SP ja Kemmuru) lyriikoita 2000-luvulta. Niiden pääkieli on suomi, mutta kaikissa kappaleissa on myös englanninkielisiä elementtejä. Sanojen tarkkojen alkuperien sekä muun tiedon selvittämiseksi olen tarvittaessa konsultoinut itse artisteja. Analyysissä identiteetin käsitetään rakentuvan osaltaan kielen avulla. Identiteetti rakentuu diskursseissa, ja se on muuttuva ja monitahoinen. Aineiston analyysissä kielenvaihtelu ymmärretään joko a) kielten sekoittumisena, josta syntyy kokonaan uusi kieli/kielellinen tyyli tai b) koodinvaihtona, joka on merkityksellistä diskurssin paikallisella tasolla. Tulokset osoittavat, että rap–lyriikoissa pikemminkin sekoitetaan suomen ja englannin kieltä (language mixing) kuin vaihdetaan koodia. Näin ollen muodostuu uusi, suomalaisille rap–lyriikoille ominainen kieli ja tyyli. Usein hip hop -englannin sanoja ja fraaseja taivutetaan suomen ortografian, morfologian tai molempien mukaan. Joskus lyriikoissa esiintyy myös ns.

Sosiaalinen media on nykyään tärkeä osa artistin työnkuvaa, sillä sosiaalisen median kanavien ansiosta vuorovaikutus fanien kanssa sekä oman brändin markkinointi on entistä helpompaa. Tämän tutkimuksen ta- voitteena on selvittää, kuinka rap-artisti Cheekin brändi rakentuu visuaalisesti ja tekstuaalisesti sosiaalisen median kanava Instagramissa. Instagram on sovellus, joka perustuu kuvien ja videoi- den jakamiseen. Visuaalisuus on Instagramissa vahvasti läsnä, mutta myös tekstuaalisuudella on tärkeä rooli: kuvien ja videoiden yhteyteen voi halutessaan lisätä kuvatekstin ja hashtageja, jotka myös vaikuttavat osaltaan julkaisun merkityksen rakentumiseen. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu Cheekin eli Jare Tiihosen Instagram-julkaisuista tilillä @jaretiihonen ajalta 8.11.2017–26.8.2018, jolloin julkaisuja oli yhteensä 65.

Espoo 10.10.2016 Thesis supervisors: Prof. Ville Pulkki Thesis advisor: M.Sc. Henrik Möller aalto university abstract of the school of electrical engineering master’s thesis Author: Frida Vikström Title: Sound quality in Finnish Lutheran churches Date: 10.10.2016 Language: English Number of pages: 8+94 Department of Signal Processing and Acoustics Professorship: Acoustics and Audio Sound Processing Supervisor: Prof. Ville Pulkki Advisor: M.Sc. Henrik Möller Acoustical measurements were made in twenty churches in the Helsinki area, and their acoustical properties were compared to each other. The churches varied in size from small village churches to large cathedrals, were built between the 1470’s and 2005, and were built of stone, tile or wood. The churches were measured following the ISO 3382 standard. The results showed no clear distinctions between churches of different ages. The average reverberation time was longer than what is recommended for concert halls, with a small correlation to the volume of the church. The results of the modern churches were varying for all measured parameters, with no apparent correlation to the materials, sizes or ages of the churches. The average STI of 0.5 for all measured churches indicates that sound systems are needed in churches for the speech intelligibility to improve in the otherwise reverberant space.

  • Façades and Functions Kimmo Sarje
    Façades and Functions Sigurd Frosterus as a Critic of Architecture Kimmo Sarje Alongside his work as a practising architect, Sigurd Frosterus (1876–1956) was one of Finland’s leading architectural critics during the first decades of the 20th century. In his early life, Frosterus was a strict rationalist who wanted to develop architecture towards scientific ideals instead of historical, archae- olo gical, or mythological approaches. According to him, an architect had to analyse his tasks of construction in order to be able to logically justify his solu- tions, and he must take advantage of the possibilities of the latest technology. The particular challenge of his time was reinforced concrete. Frosterus consid- ered that the buildings of a modern metropolis should be constructivist in ex- pressing their purpose and technology honestly. The impulses of two famous Euro pean architects – Otto Wagner and Henry van de Velde – had a life-long influence on his work. Urban architecture with long street perspectives and houses with austere façades and unified eaves lines was the stylistic ideal that he shared with the Austrian architect Wagner. An open and enlightened urban experience was Frosterus’s future vision, not National Romantic capricious- ness or intimacy drawing from the Middle Ages. According to Frosterus, the Belgian van de Velde was the master interior architect of the epoch, the interior of the Nietzsche Archives in Weimar being an excellent example of his work. However, already in the 1910s Frosterus’s rationalism developed towards a broader understanding of the functions of the façades of business edifices. In his brilliant analyses of the business palaces by the Finnish architects Armas Lindgren and Lars Sonck, he considered the symbolic and artistic values of the façades to be even more important than technological honesty.

  • Hallgrímskirkja, Reykjavík a Late Example of Expressionist Church Architecture Aurél Benárd
    10.2478/jbe-2018-0006 HALLGRÍMSKIRKJA, REYKJAVÍK A LATE EXAMPLE OF EXPRESSIONIST CHURCH ARCHITECTURE Aurél Benárd Institute of Architecture, Ybl Miklós Faculty of Architecture, Szent István University, Budapest, Hungary [email protected] Abstract: Reykjavík’s largest church, Hallgrímskirkja has become a symbol and an important part of Icelandic national identity. This edifice result of conscious planning process with its location and form reinforce its national significance. Its impact derives from several elements. Buildings symbolizing the identity of communities are usually quite conservative in form. Hallgrímskirkja, however, has distinct individual features that stem from architect Guðjón Samúelsson’s aspiration to express the nation’s identity in a specific architectural form. Keywords: Expressionist architecture, Iceland, Art Deco, national architecture, Lutheran Church, nature and architecture INTRODUCTION Seated on a hill, this distinctive building rules over the townscape of Iceland’s capital. The picture-perfect sight of its characteristic spire perched atop a steeple is visible from every corner of the city. Reykjavik’s Lutheran cathedral is the second highest structure [1] on the island of Iceland. Being both a landmark and „Stadtkrone”, it is one of the main attractions of the city. The Hallgrímskirkja has dominated the city skyline since the 1980s and the story of its construction is closely related to the 0th-century history of Iceland’s independence. 1. THE URBAN CONTEXT OF THE CHURCH 1.1. Iceland Iceland is an island country in the North Atlantic. In terms of the geologic timescale, it is a comparatively young volcanic island that was created along the fault line between the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates providing its characteristic natural frame of volcanic formations.
