  • Reflections on the Production of the Finno-Ugric Exhibitions at the Estonian National Museum
    THE ETHICS OF ETHNOGRAPHIC ATTRACTION: REFLECTIONS ON THE PRODUCTION OF THE FINNO-UGRIC EXHIBITIONS AT THE ESTONIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM SVETLANA KARM Researcher Estonian National Museum Veski 32, 51014 Tartu, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ART LEETE Professor of Ethnology University of Tartu Ülikooli 18, 50090 Tartu, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT We intend to explore* the production of the Finno-Ugric exhibitions at the Esto- nian National Museum. Our particular aim is to reveal methodological changes of ethnographic reproduction and to contextualise the museum’s current efforts in ideologically positioning of the permanent exhibition. Through historical–herme- neutical analysis we plan to establish particular museological trends at the Esto- nian National Museum that have led curators to the current ideological position. The history of the Finno-Ugric displays at the Estonian National Museum and comparative analysis of international museological practices enable us to reveal and interpret different approaches to ethnographic reconstructions. When exhib- iting indigenous cultures, one needs to balance ethnographic charisma with the ethics of display. In order to employ the approach of ethical attraction, curators must comprehend indigenous cultural logic while building up ethnographic rep- resentations. KEYWORDS: Finno-Ugric • permanent exhibition • museum • ethnography • ethics INTRODUCTION At the current time the Estonian National Museum (ENM) is going through the process of preparing a new permanent exhibition space. The major display will be dedicated to Estonian cultural developments. A smaller, although still significant, task is to arrange the Finno-Ugric permanent exhibition. The ENM has been involved in research into the Finno-Ugric peoples as kindred ethnic groups to the Estonians since the museum was * This research was supported by the European Union through the European Regional Devel- opment Fund (Centre of Excellence in Cultural Theory, CECT), and by the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research (projects PUT590 and ETF9271).

Karin, PhD SUNY Brockport City Clerk, retired Carolyn Vacca, PhD Jim Memmott Monroe County Historian/ Democrat & Chronicle St. John Fisher College Dear Rochester History Reader, Margaret Woodbury Strong is an almost mythical figure in Rochester history. Born a child of privilege, she spent a lifetime pursuing experiences and collecting things that sparked her imagination. In Woodbury Strongʼs time, the concept of “play” was limited and certainly not thought of as a necessary thing in the healthy development of all children. She used her wealth and position to amass a collection of toys that eventually became the kernel of The Strong and set in motion a chain of events that has resulted in the creation and growth of one of the most famous and beloved of Rochesterʼs museums. In this issue of Rochester History, you will learn about Margaret Woodbury Strong and her decades of collecting.

  • 1 British Signals Intelligence and the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland ABSTRACT Historians for Decades Have Placed Room 40, the Fi
    British Signals Intelligence and the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland ABSTRACT Historians for decades have placed Room 40, the First World War British naval signals intelligence organization, at the centre of narratives about the British anticipation of and response to the Easter Rising in Ireland in 1916. A series of crucial decrypts of telegrams between the German embassy in Washington and Berlin, it has been believed, provided significant advance intelligence about the Rising before it took place. This article upends previous accounts by demonstrating that Room 40 possessed far less advance knowledge about the Rising than has been believed, with most of the supposedly key decrypts not being generated until months after the Rising had taken place. INTRODUCTION A key moment in twentieth century Irish history, on Easter Monday 1916 a group of rebels launched in Dublin an uprising against British rule. Carefully prepared in advance, the Irish rebels had previously sought German assistance in providing arms and in organizing transport for famed Irish nationalist Roger Casement. The Germans agreed to provide this assistance, dispatching Casement aboard a German submarine and organizing a covert landing of munitions aboard a merchant ship masquerading as the Norwegian steamer Aud. The arms, however, were intercepted and Casement captured by the British authorities. Notwithstanding these reverses, the uprising went forward shortly thereafter on Easter Monday, 24 April 1916.
