I have become both aware of and interested in the links between the Movement and Greece and have relished the opportunity to research these in more depth. It has not been possible to undertake a complete survey of Arts and Crafts activity in Greece in this thesis due to both limitations of time and word constraints. -
Magnus Enckell's Early Work
Issue No. 1/2021 Tones of Black – Magnus Enckell’s Early Work Anna-Maria von Bonsdorff, PhD, Chief Curator, Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, co-curator, ‘Magnus Enckell’ exhibition 2020–21 Also published in Hanne Selkokari (ed.), Magnus Enckell 1870−1925. Ateneum Publications Vol. 141. Helsinki: Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, 2020. Transl. Don McCracken Magnus Enckell may not be a household name but some of his works are very well known. Boy with Skull (1892) and The Awakening (1894) are paintings that have retained their fascination for generations in Finnish art history. But what was Enckell like, as a man and an artist? How did his career begin and how did it progress from the late 19th to the early 20th century? Enckell was already an influential person from a young age, and his interests and bold artistic experiments were the subject of much attention. His artistic career differed from others of his generation, not least because from the start, he received support from Finland’s most prominent artist, Albert Edelfelt, who also later served as his mentor, yet he was also very international in his artistic taste. When many of his fellow artists were involved with the transnational ideas of national revival, Enckell’s interests were focussed on international art and especially on Symbolism. Enckell’s life as an artist is intriguingly contradictory, and on a personal level he was apparently complex and often divided opinion.1 Yet he had many supporters, and he influenced ideas and perceptions about art among his close artist friends. Enckell was also good at networking and he forged his own international connections with artists in Paris. -

Suomalaisen Metsäluonnon Lukutaidon Historiaa –
Suomalaisen metsäluonnon lukutaidon historiaa – Ihmisen ja koivun muuttuva suhde Suomessa 1730-luvulta 1930-luvulle Turun yliopisto Historian laitos Suomen historia Lisensiaatintutkimus Maaliskuu 2005 Seija A. 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 -

Nordic Cooperation on Civil Security: the ‘Haga’ Process 2009-2014
This study is the result of the fi rst detailed research project to 2009-2014 process The ‘Haga’ Security: onCivil Cooperation Nordic examine the progress of the ‘Haga’ non-military security coope- ration between the fi ve Nordic states since 2009. It reviews the history of Nordic cross-border cooperation on civil emergency preparedness and management, and discusses why Nordic Ministers chose to raise this work to high political level with a meeting at Haga (near Stockholm) in 2009. Since then, regular meetings at Ministerial and working levels have looked at a whole range of shared Nordic challenges, from search and rescue, to informing the public and the role of volunteers. They have sought cost-effective solutions for pooling Nordic resources and making their territories a truly ‘frontier-free’ area in this context. But what has actually been achieved? Based on extensive practitioner interviews, the two authors of this report stress the practical and political timeliness of ‘Haga’ cooperation, but also question whether it has yet become comprehensive and far-reaching enough to overcome the real obstacles existing even between close Nordic neighbours. They also assess the inter-relationship of Haga with EU efforts, Nordic-Baltic and Baltic regional relation- ships, and Arctic security-related cooperation in the relevant fi elds. This report is a joint publication by the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) and Centre for Small State Studies (CSSS) at the University of Iceland.
