  • Style and Substance
    Special Destination Helsinki 디자인 행복 도시, 헬싱키 Style and Substance 수십 년간 핀란드 수도 헬싱키는 더 나은 디자인으로 더 나은 생활을 누리는, Helsinki has long been one of the world’s great centers of design, a place where 세계 디자인 중심지 중 한 곳으로 꼽혀 왔다. 최근 혁신적인 미술관과 도서관이 연이어 문을 열면서 a better life has been pursued through better forms. Now, a groundbreaking new 이 북구의 도시와 헬싱키 고유의 디자인에 다시 세계의 이목이 쏠리고 있다. museum and library are refocusing attention on both the city and the pursuit. 근사한 ‘볼 체어’ 등 전설이 된 디자인 작품도 다수 있다. 나아가 평범하지만 강렬한 인상은 절대 뒤지지 않으며, 운전석이 인체 공학적인 목재 수확기도 볼 수 있다. 헬싱키 디자인 박물관은 200여 개의 상점, 갤러리, 식당, 스튜디오가 밀집한 구역인 ‘디자인 디스트릭트 헬싱키(DDH)’ 의 구심점 역할을 하는데, 이 구역에는 현대 핀란드 디자인에서 손꼽히는 점포가 모여 있다. 사실 DDH 매장은 ‘푸나부오리’ 라는 동네에 밀집해 있는데, DDH는 특정 지역을 넘어 핀란드의 디자인 철학을 보여 주는 연합이기에 헬싱키 전역에서 DDH 로고가 붙은 점포를 볼 수 있다. ‘핀란드 디자인’ 하면 ‘미니멀리즘’ ‘자연’이 연상되는데, DDH의 상임 이사인 안니나 둔데르베르그의 말을 들어보면 오늘날 핀란드 디자이너들에게 지속 가능성은 가장 중요한 화두임을 알 수 있다. “우리 시대 가장 큰 트렌드라고 할 수 있습니다. 제품을 제작하거나 디자인할 때 내구성이 좋으면서도 환경에 해롭지 않은 쪽으로 고민해야 하죠.” 지속 가능성은 9월 5일부터 15일까지 열리는 ‘헬싱키 디자인 위크’를 관통하는 주요 테마이기도 하다. 이 기간에는 음식에서 도시 계획에 이르기까지 다양한 주제로 전시와 토론, 워크숍이 진행되는데, 핀란드 디자인의 세계에 흠뻑 빠질 수 있는 기회다. ‘앵그리버드’를 생각해 보자. 마우스로 끌어와 날리기만 하면 Consider the Angry Bird.

  • Appendix: Note on Military Expenditure, 1960-88
    Appendix: Note on Military Expenditure, 1960-88 Statistics on Finland's military expenditure, as outlined in the following table, convey a slightly unrealistic picture of Finland's defence capabilities. Finland has consistently spent more money on defence than statistics reveal. For example, the appropriations of the border guard are not included in military budgets (since the border guard is under the Ministry of the Interior). Neither are major defence construction projects in central and northern Finland included in military budgets, as funds for these projects come from the budgets of other ministries. Furthermore, pensions are paid out of the budget of the Ministry of Social Affairs and conscripts are paid even nowadays only a few pounds per day. It has been estimated that if Finland paid its conscripts the same rate that is paid in Denmark, Finland would have to increase its defence budget by 25 per cent. The adding of the expenditures of the Border Guard would increase the military budget by another 10 per cent. 163 164 Appendix: Note on Military Expenditure. 1960-88 Appendix 1: Total Government military Year GNP expenditures expenditures 1960 16199 3998 203 61 18362 4465 282 62 19661 4967 420 63 21352 4874 320 64 24083 5745 351 65 26634 6821 371 66 28554 7167 402 67 31321 8058 455 68 35908 9784 559 69 40986 10210 541 1970 45743 10781 584 71 50257 11944 656 72 58625 13 970 783 73 71364 16961 886 74 90055 21307 1063 75 104209 27546 1317 76 117643 31094 1514 77 129790 35064 1733 78 143376 38938 1962 79 166992 45036 2264 1980 192825 50812 2737 81 218817 57797 3071 82 246187 68008 3899 83 275230 77190 4180 84 309567 85748 4528 85 336824 95803 4881 86 360319 105178 5423 87 393608 116704 5658 88 435550 114247 6316 Appendix: Note on Military Expenditure, 1960-88 165 Military Expenditures 1960-88 Defence Military Defence Total military material expenditures material expenditures acquisitions % of all govt.

  • Reassessing the Myth of President Kekkonen
    norma | Nordic Journal for Masculinity Studies Vol. 06, Issue 2, 2011, 124–140 Universitetsforlaget AS, Oslo Maiju Wuokko Sport, body and power: Reassessing the myth of President Kekkonen Abstract Former President of Finland Urho Kekkonen was not only a powerful politician but also a well-known sportsman and keep-fit enthusiast. The president’s sports hobbies were covered and celebrated in the media and thus became an integral part of his public persona. This paper looks at Kekkonen’s athletic and able-bodied image and its significance for his power from the perspective of gender. In his exercise activities, Kekkonen was able to display his bodily prowess and demonstrate his version of masculinity, which emphasized both physical and mental strength. The union of mind and muscle in turn buttressed his political ascendancy. Kekkonen’s athletic body served as a cornerstone of his dominance over his country and, simultaneously, as a shield protecting Finland from both internal and external threats. Furthermore, Kekkonen’s sports performances were essential elements in the myth that was created around the president during his term and which was carefully conserved after his fall from power. Drawing upon scholarship on men and masculinities, this paper reassesses the still-effective mythical image of Kekkonen as an invincible superman. The article reveals the performative nature of his athletic activities and shows that in part, his pre-eminence in them was nothing more than theatre enacted by him and his entourage. Thus, Kekkonen’s superior and super-masculine image was actually surprisingly vulnerable and dependent on the success of the performance.
