Tutkimusaineistona on kaksi Komet im Mumintal -saksannosta (Vivica ja Kurt Bandler, 1970 ja Birgitta Kircherer, 2001). Toisen käännöksen lähtöteksti on Tove Janssonin Kometjakten (1946) ja toisen Janssonin Kometen kommer (1968). Käännösten ilmestymisillä on aikaväliä runsaat 30 vuotta. Tämä luo hyvän asetelman tarkastella sekä mahdollisia kohdekulttuurin lapsikäsityksen muutoksia että niiden vaikutuksia kääntäjien käännösratkaisuihin. Tutkimukseni sijoittuu lastenkirjallisuuden genreen. Lastenkirjallisuuden kääntämistä ovat maassamme tutkineet erityisesti Riitta Oittinen ja Tiina Puurtinen. Tutkimusaineistoni lähtötekstien perustarina on sama.

  • Cosmic and Astronomical Sources of Incitement in Tove Jansson’Svol
    Echoes of Cosmic EventsActa and Baltica Global Historiae Politics in et Moominvalley: Philosophiae ScientiarumCosmic and Astronomical Sources of Incitement in Tove Jansson’sVol. Comet4, No. 1in (Spring Moominland 2016) DOI : 10.11590/abhps.2016.1.02 Echoes of Cosmic Events and Global Politics in Moominvalley: Cosmic and Astronomical Sources of Incitement in Tove Jansson’s Comet in Moominland1 Tapio Markkanen University of Helsinki Private address: Haltijatontuntie 4A, Espoo 02200, Finland E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Tove Jansson is known worldwide as the mother of the Moomins. She was a visual artist and writer. The first Moomin books deal with the threat of apocalypse. The 1946 book about the comet approaching the Earth is interesting because of the changes Jansson made in the later versions (1956 and 1968). The first edition is shown to reflect the fear of possible Soviet occupation of Finland after World War II. In the last, 1968 edition this was replaced by a fear of a global nuclear war. In her illustrations and texts, Jansson drew inspiration from several scientific sources, many of which are identified in the article. The case of a meteorite falling in Finland in 1899 is also discussed. Keywords: apocalypse, Moomins, science inspiring arts, scientific instruments, Tove Jansson Tove Jansson, the artist Tove Jansson (1914–2001) is known worldwide as the mother of the Moomins. Outside her home country Finland it is less known that she was an exceptionally versatile artist. She was a painter, graphic artist and illustrator.

    FINN FAMILY MOOMINTROLL FREE DOWNLOAD Tove Jansson | 160 pages | 06 Aug 2009 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141328607 | English | United Kingdom List of Moomin characters But can they race home before the comet crashes? Married to Muddler. He is Muddler's uncle. View 2 comments. I was 7 and Finn Family Moomintroll begged for one of these little dolls. I guess I am fiscally conservative but liberal in most other things. As it turns out, the Hobgoblin can grant the wishes of others, but not his own. Jansson has a subtle but very appealing sense of Finn Family Moomintroll, that emerges in sly little asides - as when she writes of the Hemulen: " he continued to look worried because he thought he oughtn't to look happy after such a big sorrow" - and humorous incidents, like the one in which the Muskrat barrels past the beach-bound Moomins. Otherwise, the book was translated by Elizabeth Portch. The heartwarming tale of Moomin's reunion with his parentsAfter losing both his fortune and his girlfriend, Moomin has hit rock bottom. I apologize to everyone who loves this book. The Dangerous Journey A little Finn Family Moomintroll is transported with the help of magic glasses from the tedium of a summer afternoon into an exciting world of mangrove swamps, spluttering volcanoes and sea, where birds fly upside down Finn Family Moomintroll wild things threaten to pounce.

  • Tove Janssons Fresker I Helsinki Rådhus Heterotopier I Det Offentlige Rom
    Tove Janssons fresker i Helsinki rådhus Heterotopier i det offentlige rom Universitetet i Bergen Institutt for lingvistiske, litterære og estetiske studier KUN350 20H/ Kunsthistorie Mastergradsoppgave Mastergradsoppgave i kunsthistorie Vår 2021 Jostein Eidskrem Jeg vil gjerne takke min dyktige veileder professor emerita Siri Meyer for verdifull, effektiv, energisk og svært kunnskapsrik veiledning. Takk til lærere og medstudenter ved kunsthistorie ved Universitetet i Bergen for et godt og utviklende miljø. En spesiell takk til kurator Mikko Oranen ved HAM Helsinki Art Museum for et motiverende, utbytterikt og hyggelig møte i Helsinki i mars 2020. 1 2 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to examine the Finnish-Swedish artist Tove Jansson’s fresco paintings Party in the City and Party in the Countryside (1947), a commissioned work for the Restaurant Stadskällaren, in the City Hall of Helsinki, Finland. In particular, the thesis puts focus on an analysis and interpretation of the frescoes as heterotopias in public spaces, using the theoretical framework designed by Michel Foucault in Of Other Spaces (1984). Jansson’s frescoes are then compared with the norm in the tradition of public art in the Nordic countries Norway and Finland, in the post-war period in the 1940s and early 1950s. The Norwegian artist Per Krohg’s monumental fresco painting The City and its Countryside (1940-1949/ 1950) functions as an example on the norm. The first part of this dissertation presents a formal study of both Jansson’s and Krohg’s frescoes, followed by a formal and motive comparison between the two artworks. The second part focuses on the concept of utopia, and on the concept of heterotopia as described by Foucault; furthermore, this part is followed by an analysis of the two artists’ works in the context to the post-war period in Finland and Norway.
