This thesis examines the way we view our engagement with the materiality of the world around us, by looking at the work of philosopher Jane Bennet on vibrant materiality and author Tove Jansson. Bennet presents an argument that matter can be analysed as active and vibrant. While Western philosophers are used to viewing matter as passive and dead, seeing it as active makes space for different engagement with matter. One of the ways we can start engaging with matter, once we stop thinking of it as passive and dead, is through the lens of ethics. My aim in this thesis is to use Bennet’s and Jansson’s work as a way to consider matter as active and included in the ethical frameworks of the Western philosophical canon. Jansson in her children’s book Moominpappa at Sea shows a possibility for looking at the material world through this ethical lens. This thesis will put these works in conversation by reading both as philosophical works that have nuanced engagement with the topic of how we can be in community with the things that surround us.

Sunrise Island; A Story of Japan and its Arts. Parents' Magazine, 1971. 62p. illus. Trade ed. $4.50; Library ed. $4.19 net. Based on the Japanese production in "Art Entertainments," a series for young Ad people at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and profusely illustrated by 4-6 photographs of art objects and some buildings, this is a combination of historical overview and survey of art forms. Interesting as the material is, the book is weakened by the fact that so much ground is covered that the text moves in jumps-"About a thousand years after..." one chapter begins. In a lecture, moving from one art object and the cultural facts it reflects to the next is not disruptive; in print it is awkward. A relative index is appended. Andersen, Hans Christian.

One of the most popular of Andersen's stories in new dress-or perhaps it's new R undress-is illustrated with fresh and imaginative pictures, beautifully detailed, 3-5 lively, and humorous. The emperor is pudgy and pompous, the tailors crafty and leering, the faces of the crowd watching the regal procession a frieze of shock when the ingenuous child points out the truth.

  • Tove Jansson's Character Studies for the Moomin
    INTRODUCTION by Tom Devlin, Creative Director at Drawn & Quarterly In 2011, I went to Helsinki and was lucky enough to tour Tove Jansson’s studio. She lived in the same large studio for fifty-seven years. It was easy to picture Tove there. I saw the table she used to write at; I saw the wood-burning stove she used to heat her house during the long winters; I saw the shelves and shelves of books—many her own, or her favorites by other authors, and even the hand-lettered scrapbooks her mother, Signe, made where she stored the strips she clipped from the newspaper. I saw the tiny alcove with the even tinier bed she had slept in for years. It was surprising how modest the whole place was. As far as I knew she was Finland’s greatest literary celebrity, and yet she had lived such a simple life. Of course, I should have known this before I stepped over the threshold. It’s in her books. It’s visually manifest in her comics. The Moomins them- selves live modest lives. They have many adventures but home is simple and comforting and there is nothing unnecessary. Rereading these comics just before preparing this book, it struck me just how much of Tove we get in these stories. The Moomin stories (whether in chapter book, picture book, or comic form) all have a similar quality—a quality that is rare in today’s world. There’s a distinctly carefree, individualist vibe mixed with a hint of playful cynicism, a kind of embrace-life-and-live-it-to-its- fullest-but-maybe-don’t-get-too-carried-away ethos.

  • Exhibition “Moomin Animations – Thrills and Cuddles” Coming to National Children’S Museum in D.C
    Exhibition “Moomin Animations – Thrills and Cuddles” coming to National Children’s Museum in D.C. August 13, 2021 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Moomins, the beloved fairytale creatures living in Moominvalley and created by Finnish author Tove Jansson, are the subject of a visiting exhibition at National Children’s Museum as of September. The upcoming exhibition, on loan from the world’s only Moomin Museum located in Tampere, Finland, showcases the universal values of the Moomins, such as equality, inclusion and respect for nature. The exhibition, Moomin Animations – Thrills and Cuddles, which is brought to the United States by the Embassy of Finland in Washington D.C., will open at National Children’s Museum on September 3, 2021, and will be on display inside the Visiting Exhibit Hall until January 9, 2022. This is the first time this exhibition travels abroad. It highlights the rich history of Moomin animations, which are based on the Moomin books and comic strips created by the renowned Finnish artist and author Tove Jansson (1914–2001). The Moomins are white and roundish fantastical characters with large snouts. The Moomin family and their friends live an adventurous life in the idyllic and peaceful Moominvalley. “The Moomins always treat nature with respect and live in harmony with the environment. The Moomin values, such as compassion and open-mindedness, are current, independent of time and place, and more relevant than perhaps ever before. As we follow the stories of Moomintroll’s growth and encounters, we can learn more about our own humanity, relationships and emotions,” explains Roleff Kråkström, Managing Director of Moomin Characters.

  • Metsä , a Park Themed on “The Moomins”, the First Outside Finland
    June 30, 2015 FinTech Global Incorporated City of Hanno, Saitama Prefecture Seibu Railway Co., Ltd. Metsä , A park themed on “The Moomins”, the first outside Finland, will be opened at Lake Miyazawa in 2017! FinTech Global Incorporated (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; president: Nobumitsu Tamai; hereafter, “FGI”) will open a gateway to the world of the Moomins—highly popular characters in their homeland of Finland as well as Japan—with a theme park built over an expansive area with Lake Miyazawa as the centerpiece in the city of Hanno, Saitama Prefecture. This will be the first true-to-original Moomin-themed facility, apart from Moominworld—a theme park in Finland, the birthplace of Moomin creator Tove Jansson—that features the lovable characters. For the opening of this facility, FGI and the city of Hanno, Saitama Prefecture (mayor: Masaru Okubo; hereafter “Hanno”) signed a Basic Agreement on Local Renaissance (hereafter, “the Agreement”) that sets out parameters for the theme park development as well as coordination and cooperation on other aspects that will help promote tourism in Hanno. Essentially the Agreement underpins joint efforts to attract tourists to the theme park and to Hanno. The land itself will be sold to FGI by the current owner of the property, Seibu Railway Co., Ltd. (head office: Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture; president: Hisashi Wakabayashi; hereafter, “Seibu Railway”). Around 1960, Seibu Railway began building recreational facilities at Lake Miyazawa, including Lakeside Park Miyazawako. The majestic landscape, showcased by the lake itself and the forested lands around it, is the perfect setting for the world of Moominvalley, a place of great natural beauty that is home to the Moomins, and to emphasize the concept of coexisting with nature, which is an enduring theme in the Moomin stories.

I argue that one of the main characters of Jansson’s book is the autumn forest that surrounds the abandoned Moomin house. The decomposing forest is not just an emblem of the inner lives of the guests that gather in the house but is an active character itself: an ambiguous life form that creeps in the house and must be expelled from its living core. I further demon- strate that the emotion of disgust has a crucial role in Jansson’s narrative, and that an adequate analysis of the intentional content of disgust allows us to see what is at issue in the relations between the characters. In my reading, the main insight of Tove Jansson’s last Moomin book is not about loss or sorrow but is about the human capacity to begin anew by composing novel wholes from scraps.

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1667. 101 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0950-7. Background and Aim Being diagnosed with cancer is often described as a major loss of control leading to severe psychological distress and symptoms of anxiety and depression can continue to affect the individual in the long term. The cancer and its treatment may influence all dimensions of health, thus the psychosocial support provided needs to be multifaceted and easy accessed. Internet-based interventions may be one way to provide such support, but evidence is limited. This thesis aimed to investigate the design, effects, and experiences of internet-based psychosocial support in cancer. Methods and Results Study 1 encompassed a co-creation development process resulting in the interactive support provided as the first step in an internet-based stepped care intervention (iCAN-DO).
