We could not think of a better way to celebrate Anita’s distin- guished career as a researcher, teacher and developer of Cultural Policy than with this volume, which is, above all, a cultural policy text book. It is also aimed at researchers and professionals of the cultural fields, and for all those interested in culture and politics. Professor Anita Kangas is the Director of the Unit for Cultural Policy Studies at the University of Jyväskylä. Her professorship, established in 1996, was the first professorship in the field of Cultural Policy in the Nordic countries. Anita developed and directed the interdisciplinary Cul- tural Management Programme in 1991–2000. In 2000, she launched the Master’s Programme in Cultural Policy, and the Doctoral Programme in Cultural Policy followed shortly after that. Both the Master’s Programme and the Doctoral Programme in Cultural Policy have been – and still are today – unique in Finland. Anita Kangas’ main research interests have included local and regional cultural policies and planning, theory and history of cultural policy, cul- tural policies in the European Union, culture and the civil society/third sector, culture and technology and the role of women in cultural life. Indeed, many of these themes are also discussed in the articles of this book. Anita has published widely on cultural policy and cultural politics, cultural theory and action research methodology, and she has established and managed several research projects on cultural policy. 9 Between 1986 and 1991, Anita Kangas served as the chair of the Arts Council of Central Finland. In 1992–1997, she was the vice chair of the Arts Council of Finland and a member of the Consultative Board for Popular Science and Committee of Media Arts. Anita has been consulted by numerous Finnish local and regional authorities on cultural policy and cultural planning. Since 2002 she has been the chair of the Advisory Board of the Foundation for Cultural Policy Research (CUPORE) and the Regional Cultural Foundation for Central Finland (Finnish Cultural Foundation). Anita Kangas is currently the dean at the Faculty of Social Sciences, and she is a member of various boards and committees of the University. She is also a docent at the University of Joensuu, Finland. With this Festschrift, we wish to congratulate Anita and celebrate her outstanding career as a developer of cultural political research and education in Finland, as well as her significant role in shaping cultural policies both in national and international contexts. We wish to thank all the authors of this publication, the Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy at the University of Jyväskylä, CUPORE (Foundation for Cultural Policy Research), and Tuija Modinos for proofreading the articles. 10 Introduction – O Culture, Where Art Thou? Miikka Pyykkönen, Niina Simanainen, Sakarias Sokka Cultural Policy as a Discipline and a Policy Sector Policy, as a concept, refers to the “regularizing aspects of poli- tics” that [as an outcome of contingent action; cf. ‘politicizing’ and ‘politicking’] imply the coordination of acts, and measure and regulate the inclusion and exclusion of activities (see Palonen 2003). When the concrete, regularizing aspect of organizing things and acts is indicated by policy, ‘culture’, as an abstract concept, has to be reified in some sense for analyzing it on that same level. This, in short, seems to be the first theoretical challenge in cultural policy research. Esa Pirnes (2008, 40) has stated that the late 18th and early 19th cen- turies (in Western societies) witnessed a rebirth of the concept of culture. Due to modernization process, nature and man were ever more frequently seen as separate entities, a new secular world view was propagated, and ’culture’ was adapted to new contents. In Raymond Williams’ (1988, 88) words: “[c]ulture as an independent noun, an abstract process or the product of such process, is not important before IC18 and is not common before mC19.” During the 19th century – in addition to the development of the broader definition, which meant attaching ‘culture’ to the level of the col- lective development (e.g., Daniel 1993, 74)1 – it became commonplace 11 to identify ‘culture’ with art and poetry. This was due to thinkers such as, e.g., Schiller, Wordsworth and Coleridge. As a consequence, art as the most advanced level of the ‘culture’, indicating the societal evolution, was seen produced by remarkable individuals. To “understand” the creative, sentimental characteristic of aesthetics, many upbringing capabilities were longed for from the receivers of art, too (Pirnes 2008, 40–65). In a great deal of the cultural policy research and other studies ob- serving the political aspects of culture, culture has been approached from within the national framework. This is quite understandable, whereas, for long, the policies under scrutiny were also limited to the national framework, and international effects were not significant or they were not recognized as such. Also, the regional and local policy institutions and activities were mainly seen as somewhat subordinate to the central- ized national policy, both in policies and in research (Häyrynen 2005, 135–145). This joint descending of the nation state and culture led to the ho- mogenization on an ideological level. The mushrooming of the printed material was important here: the idea of the nation under the umbrella of one culture disseminated to all stratums though novels, travelogues, ethnographies, newspapers, population studies and education. The dis- semination of national culture was concealed in symbols, many of which were also pieces of art (national flags, songs, paintings, literature, etc.). Although the people inhabiting a particular territory did not actually know each other, they shared the feeling of belonging to the same group through sharing the same symbols, language, conceptual maps, and other cultural features (Andersson 1982; Hobsbawm 1990; Hobsbawm & Ranger 1983). The above mentioned framework relates to the development in which cultural policy was strictly connected to the formation of the nation- state and the civilization of its citizens in many European countries – for example, in the Nordic countries – in the late 19th century and during the first half of the 20th century. Organized forms of culture brought together diverse elements of the societies. This required the existence of apparatuses and experts securing the “correct realization” and the “right 12 direction” of culture. However, this did not mean quelling the artists, their organizations or other actors, who practiced cultural activities in the sphere of civil society and had functioned as the backbones of the state centralization, but a new kind of regulation and selective resourcing of their activities. In most of the Nordic countries this “nationalization of the culture” took place through the state

Carter Department of Philosophy, Marquette University Milwaukee, WI The uses of visual images based on calligraphy and the depiction of the human body in Chinese art have served an important role in the exercise of political power by leaders in Chinese culture. The two media that are most closely linked to the exercise of political power in Chinese culture are written or performed calligraphy and representational art featuring the human figure. The latter is more familiar in western nations where one often finds sculptures of political figures displayed in prominent public spaces. However, in China calligraphy as a form of written art serves as a principal symbolic expression of political power. This is true in both traditional Chinese culture and also the Twentieth Century revolutionary period and beyond. The connection between figurative political images and political power needs little explanation for a western audience. But how is calligraphy connected to the theme of the political body in Chinese art and culture? One answer is offered in Mao Zedong’s early writings, where he linked the practice of calligraphy to physical training of the body.

Niemi TURUN YLIOPISTO Historian laitos/Humanistinen tiedekunta NIEMI, SEIJA A.: Suomalaisen metsäluonnon lukemisen historiaa - ihmisen ja koivun muuttuva suhde Suomessa 1730-luvulta 1930-luvulle Lisensiaatintutkimus, 198 s. Suomen historia Maaliskuu 2005 Tutkimus on perustutkimus suomalaisten metsäluonnon lukutaidosta ja käsityksistä koivusta ja sen käytöstä kahdensadan vuoden ajalta. Valitun ajanjakson sisällä on ollut mahdollista havaita sekä perinteisen maanviljelyajan että teollisen ajan metsäluonnon lukutaidon yhtäläisyydet ja erot. Yhteistä koko jaksolle on ollut huoli metsien riittävyydestä ja oikeasta hoidosta. Eroja on ollut metsänkäyttötavoissa perinteisen luontaistalouden muututtua teollisuuden ajan kulutusyhteiskunnaksi. Tutkimuksen pääkysymykset ovat:1) Miten suomalaisten metsäluonnon lukutaito ja käsitykset koivusta ja sen resursseista ovat muuttuneet 1730-luvulta 1930-luvulle ja 2) mitkä seikat ovat näihin muutoksiin vaikuttaneet? Tutkimuksen esimerkkinä metsäluonnon lukemisesta on suomalaisten suhde koivuun. Tutki- muksessa tarkastellaan ympäristön lukutaidon avulla, miten ihminen ymmärtää ja tulkitsee ympäristöään tässä tutkimuksessa metsäluontoa. Ympäristön lukutaito on kokonaisvaltaista luonnon ymmärtämistä, tulkitsemista ja määrittelemistä huomioiden, elämysten, arvojen, asenteiden ja tiedon avulla. Taidon perustana

  • Artist Brothers Magnus, Wilhelm and Ferdinand Von Wright at the Intersection of Art and Science // Anne-Maria Pennonen --- FNG Research Issue No
    Issue No. 6/2017 Artist Brothers Magnus, Wilhelm and Ferdinand von Wright at the Intersection of Art and Science Anne-Maria Pennonen, MA, Curator, Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, Helsinki Also published in Erkki Anttonen & Anne-Maria Pennonen (eds.), The Brothers von Wright – Art, Science and Life. Ateneum Publications Vol. 99. Helsinki: Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, 11–34. Transl. Wif Stenger Magnus, Wilhelm and Ferdinand von Wright are integral figures in the history of science and culture in 19th-century Finland and Sweden. They are sometimes referred to as if they were one and the same person, although each had his own, distinct career. The brothers are best known for their paintings and prints of birds but, as well as scientific illustrations, the work of Magnus and Ferdinand also includes many drawings, paintings and still-lifes. In fact, the eldest of the brothers, Magnus, became one of the most prominent landscape painters in Finland in the 1840s, and the youngest, Ferdinand, in the 1850s. Ferdinand also painted several portraits. The middle brother, Wilhelm, who made his career in Sweden, concentrated on scientific illustration, mostly in graphic prints. Over the many years of depicting and observing birds, the brothers acquired a depth of scientific knowledge that justifies calling them ornithologists; Magnus in particular is generally considered to be a pioneer of Finnish ornithology.1 It is clear, when we look at their work, that their careers unfolded at the intersection of science and art, and it is sometimes difficult to tell the two apart. While the works are regarded stylistically as part of the tradition of Biedermeier or Romanticism, the scientific accuracy and detail of the pictures is far more important.

These models consist in various ways of establishing culture as a policy domain, in the definition of cultural policy rationales, and in modes of organization and of governance compatible with democratic standards. This triple specification process has never been fully achieved. It is being challenged in a way that questions these policy regimes and the notion of cultural policy they had defined. Keywords: Cultural policy; Europe; Art; Government; State; Patronage; Institutions; Public administration; Cultural participation; Heritage Introduction Cultural policy regimes reflect the histories of nation and state building, the institutional configurations and the modes of government specific to each country.

The show spans a period of over 100 years from the 1850s to the 1970s, and includes Finnish landscapes from the coast and archipelago in the south to the fells of Lapland and the Arctic Ocean in the north. It celebrates the sophistication of the Finnish art establishment and the concurrent development of the landscape genre through more than 50 paintings, prints, and video art. The exhibition includes a range of landscape depictions, from idealised views completed in the artist’s studio to realistic scenes painted en plein air and visual expressions of the landscape in a modern artistic language. Organised into four themes, the exhibition also considers the role that landscapes played in the creation of a nation and a national identity. International research projects and exhibitions form a significant part of the Finnish National Gallery’s operations, both in Europe and overseas.
