  • Estonian by Recreation: Forging Ethnic Imagination Through Communal Experience in Urban, Rural and Musical Spaces
    ZfO JECES 67 ı 2018 ı 3 ı 375-396 375 Estonian by Recreation: Forging Ethnic Imagination through Communal Experience in Urban, Rural and Musical Spaces Maarja Merivoo-Parro* ZUSAMMENFASSUNG In der Freizeit zum Esten: Der Aufbau ethnischer Vorstellungskraft durch gemeinschaftliche Erfahrung im städtischen, ländlichen und musikalischen Umfeld Der Artikel befasst sich mit den gemeinschaftlichen Freizeitaktivitäten von Angehörigen des estnischen Exils im Amerika des Kalten Krieges und beruht auf dem Gedanken, dass diese Gemeinschaften bei dem Bemühen darum, dass ihnen die jungen Leute Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit widmen, nach Bereichen und Orten suchten, um gemeinsam ihr Estnisch- Sein auszuleben. Städtische Orte waren zum einen ständige Einrichtungen wie Estnische Häuser, zum anderen große Kulturveranstaltungen an wechselnden Orten wie z. B. die Est- nischen Westküsten-Tage (West Coast Estonian Days) oder das Festival ESTO mit Teil- nehmern aus aller Welt. Die ländlichen Gegenden blieben Pfadfindern und Pfadfinderin- nen vorbehalten. Obgleich sie auch größeren Zusammenschlüssen angehörten, war bei der Tätigkeit der amerikanisch-estnischen Pfadfinder eine spezielle estnische Ausrichtung spürbar. Da außerdem die Esten in den USA nicht in Enklaven, sondern über das Land ver- streut lebten, führten sie eine neuartige Form des Pfadfindertums ein, bei dem sich die ge- meinschaftliche Praxis zu einer individuellen veränderte. Während die wichtige Rolle der Chormusik im exil-estnischen Leben sowohl in kultureller als auch in politischer Hinsicht bereits nachgewiesen wurde, kann die bislang deutlich weniger erforschte Populärmusik in ähnlicher Weise dazu beitragen, die Freizeitgestaltung auf einer stärker persönlichen Ebe- ne nachzuvollziehen. Da die Esten in den USA geistigen und praktischen Zugriff auf die globale Popmusikszene hatten, liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass sie in mancherlei Hinsicht in der estnischen Musikgeschichte eine Vorreiterrolle eingenommen haben.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

While US president Bill Clinton and US secretary of state Madeleine Albright were jubilant, not all world leaders shared their enthusiasm, and many groused that the US-led effort to expand NATO had less to do with national and geopolitical security, and more to do with domestic, ethnic group politics. In 1997, Canadian prime minister Jean Chrétien complained to Belgian prime minister Jean-Luc Dehaene and Luxembourg prime min- ister Jean-Claude Juncker (and inadvertently into an open microphone) that NATO expansion was occurring because “ethnic voting blocks in the United States are pushing their cause” (Harris 1997, A24).

  • ESTONIA (Eesfi Vabariik)
    CLASSROOM COUNTRY PROFILES ESTONIA (Eesti Vabariik) Estonia is the northernmost of the Baltic Republics, situated across the Gulf of Finland between Russia and Latvia. Histori- cally noted for Viking raider tribes and pirates, Estonia has been ruled by a number of empires and kingdoms over the centuries, including the Danes, Germans, Swedes, and most recently, the Russians. The capital city, Tallinn, was known as Reval for most of its history and was founded on the site of the Danish victory that marked the transition out of the Viking era. Estonia gained its independence in fits and starts over the course of the twenti- eth century, finally securing it during the “Singing Revolution” in 1991. Estonia, according to many polling sources, is one of the least religious Population: 1,313,271 (2015 est.) countries in the world. Historically, Christianity came to Estonia in the Area: 45,227 sq. km. (larger than Denmark) Middle Ages and during the Protestant Reformation, Lutheranism came Capital: Tallinn (pop. 436,130) to dominate the religious landscape. During the period of Russian and Languages: Estonian (official), Russian Soviet domination, the Eastern Orthodox branch of Christianity grew in Estonia as well, which is why today, the Lutheran and Orthodox Church- es represent the two largest religious groups in the country by far.

  • Who Uses the Cultural-Historical Collections of the Baltic Diaspora, and to What Purpose? Enda-Mai Michelson-Holland Estonian Archives in the U.S., Inc
    Who uses the cultural-historical collections of the Baltic Diaspora, and to what purpose? Enda-Mai Michelson-Holland Estonian Archives in the U.S., Inc How to answer such a complex topic? To make a list of the types of specific questions generally asked at the Estonian Archives in the U.S., Inc. (Eesti Arhiiv Ühendriikides, EAU) would hardly identify the deeper meaning of the proposed question. All are directed at learning. The methodology has been and is being discussed by scholars along with technological experts and all types of organizations globally for many years and will so continue. It is the time of global virtual archival libraries, with avatars, and the continuous development of the next technological resource formats. All these and more are, or will be, here to stay. It behooves us to adapt. The retrieval of knowledge, along with some understanding of that which is found in these various formats, requires education and guidance of the global users. The potential of digitization is changing on how best to use, diffuse, and understand various viewpoints for each representative heritage. We are in an internet world. The 2006 International Conference of Baltic Archives Abroad (ICBAA) laid down a cornerstone from which developed our common Baltic Heritage Network in January of 2008. Today we applaud as we celebrate this step standing on the next. The tracks which have been laid for optimal usage are now available via technological resources for three distinct language and cultural peoples' archives within these perimeters. Cultural heritage can and does have various connotations. For example, owing to historical circumstances, vast majority of Sami cultural heritage is outside the traditional Sami area.

North American Lutheranism and the New Ethnics MARK GRANQUIST Most American Lutherans are descendants of immigrants who came to North America from northern Europe in the great trans-Atlantic mi­ grations of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Lutherans came from Germany and Scandinavia by the millions, and developed their own religious institutions in this new world, coming to dominate reli­ gious life in certain sections of the North American continent. But ' North American Lutheranism has never been solely about Germans and Scandinavians, and in the twentieth century this has become in­ creasingly evident. Lutheran immigrants have arrived in North Amer­ ica from Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.1 Lutheran evangelistic efforts in North America have targeted non-traditional populations, such as African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Amer­ icans, to develop ethnic parishes.
