    Description: The Finnish novelist Kaarlo (Kalle) Alvar Päätalo’s (1919–2000) main work, the Iijoki series, consists of 26 novels (comprising ca. 17 000 pages) and was written in 1971–1998. In this book the text corpus in Kielipankki concerning Päätalo’s works is introduced to the readers, as well as the possibilities of digital text mining. This book includes scientific articles concerning the works of Kalle Päätalo. It also gives ideas for the research that can be carried out in the future. The authors of this book are researchers in the fields of history, linguistics and literature, respectively. The research results presented in this book speak for the fact that the Iijoki series is a significant source material for future research, for example from the point of view of oral history, language variation, metalanguage, swearing and the reader’s reception. The possibilities for future research seem to be quite plentiful.

    Description: Hvordan utforskes naturen som gave i nordisk litteratur? I antropocen, menneskets tidsalder, blir spørsmålet om menneskets forhold til naturen aktualisert på nytt. Nettopp i en krisetid aktiveres religiøse forestillinger om apokalypse og skapelse, ånd og natur, og en rekke skjønnlitterære forfattere skriver frem naturskildringer preget av en grunnleggende ambivalens. I denne antologien finner du tolv bidrag som undersøker hvordan den nordiske litteraturen utforsker naturen som gave – og som kilde til ambivalens, nåde og skyld. Med et postsekulært utgangspunkt inviterer antologien forskere fra litteraturstudier og teologi til å undersøke ambivalente naturfremstillinger i den nordiske litteraturen. Hva er det mennesket gjør med den naturen vi lenge tenkte vi kunne ta for gitt – men som nå er truet? Og hva gjør klimaendringer og naturtap igjen med vår oppfatning av mennesker og menneskelige relasjoner – også til det mer-enn-menneskelige? Med bidrag fra: Marius Timmann Mjaaland, Kari Løvaas, Stine Holte, Simone Kotva, Sissel Furuseth, Torsten Bøgh Thomsen, Beatrice Reed, Ann-Sofie Lönngren, Sophie Wennerscheid, Elisabeth Oxfeldt, Kristina Leganger Iversen og Hans Kristian Rustad.

    Description: Matti Kurikka (1863–1915) is a multi-dimensional and controversial character in Finnish history. He was a playwright, a journalist, a socialist, and a theosophist, as well as a speaker for sexual emancipation and women's rights. Kurikka was born in Ingria, and his activities spanned not only Finland, but also Australia and North America, in both of which he led utopian communities. This biographical study explores Kurikka as a literary and political figure and a builder of utopias, whose life opens fascinating views on the societal and cultural currents of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book critically re-evaluates earlier research on Kurikka and highlights forgotten phases of his life by using new source materials found in three continents. The sources include digitized newspapers and periodicals, Kurikka's plays and non-fictional books, oral history, and political cartoons.

    Description: Sofi Oksanen is the most visible and widely discussed Finnish author of the 21st century, yet her novels have gained less attention than her public performances. This study shifts the focus from the author’s persona to her literary art, proposing to read Oksanen’s fiction from the methodological viewpoint of the rhetorical theory of narrative. Accordingly, Oksanen’s six novels published to date – Stalinin lehmät, Baby Jane, Puhdistus, Kun kyyhkyset katosivat, Norma, and Koirapuisto – are considered as examples of authorial rhetoric and ethics, as narrative and textual constructions, and as affective readerly experiences. Instead of only following the rhetorical theory’s emphasis on character, plot, and progression, however, the study develops a new kind of narrative rhetoric, which also pays attention to language and politics. In the study, Sofi Oksanen emerges as a feminist narrative artist, who employs fiction as a serious rhetorical resource in order to say something worthwhile about the past history as well as the contemporary world.

    Description: Minoritetsdiskurser i norsk litteratur setter søkelyset på ekskludering og inkludering formidlet gjennom ulike sjangrer og gjennom våre vitenskapelige tradisjoner innen norskfaget. Boka presenterer nedslag i en lang litteraturhistorisk linje, fra Ludvig Holberg til Camara Lundestad Joof, for å undersøke hvordan den kulturelle og politiske eliten gjennom historien har samlet diskursiv makt, og hvordan minoriserte grupper har respondert. Skjønnlitteratur og sakprosa har begge vært viktige våpen i denne maktkampen. Forfatterne tar opp ekskluderings- og inkluderingsprosesser rettet mot ulike grupper som innvandrere, kvinner, samer, homofile og jøder. Gjennom å løfte fram flere minoriserte stemmer ønsker forfatterne å nyansere mangfoldet i mangfoldet; flere av tekstene de drøfter her, vitner om interseksjonalitet, hvor flere identiteter overlapper i ett og samme individ.

    Description: This study explores the narration of existential feelings, or feelings of being in the world, in post-war Finnish prose fiction. The book presents five case studies which address modern individuals’ struggles in boundary situations of their lives. Rigorous readings of the works of Kerttu-Kaarina Suosalmi, Lassi Nummi, Marko Tapio, Tyyne Saastamoinen and Eeva-Liisa Manner all show the influence of French existentialism and its predecessors on post-war Finnish modernism for the first time in literary studies. The outsider figures and their experiences of the absurd, which have enticed the cultural imagination since ancient cults and the Book of Job, connect to the atmosphere of shared melancholy in post-war Finnish culture and society. The study participates in the rich contemporary debates on the effects of literature by focusing on less-discussed aspects of bodily feeling, affect, emotion and mood in late Finnish modernism. The book’s methodological contribution to narrative theory is that it combines a phenomenological analysis of reading with a rhetorical theory of narrative and politically informed, multidisciplinary emotion studies. The five case studies show how modernist outsider prose fiction in Finland resorts to irony, metafiction, allegory and the imaginative to generate ethically challenging narrative tension and an ambivalence of negative and positive emotion in readers. The opposing impulses of the aesthetic response produce an openness of interpretation. This openness provides us with the possibility of a more complex cultural understanding of emotion and ethics in the lives of strangers within literature and outside it.

    Description: "Gendered and sexualized abuse and other forms of violence are visibly present in the culture of the third millennium. Especially bodies that are gendered as female are – both dead and alive – objects of multiple forms of abuse and violence in the texts and imageries of contemporary culture. Men, on the other hand, are often represented as abusive towards women and as the violent gender or, as targets of other men’s violence. Structural violence has also an impact on many areas of everyday life, and it is materialized in, for example discrimination and inequality. Gender and Violence: The Ethics and Politics of Reading scrutinizes gendered violence as a complex phenomenon of contemporary culture. The authors study the ways in which ways representations of violence can be read, viewed and received. They also discuss what kind of politics the violent representations implement and actualize, and how they affect their audience. Gender and Violence takes a critical stance on the intersections of gender, power, and violence in literature, film, television and the internet. The analysis focuses on, for example, sci-fi, Nordic Noir and North American comedy series, poems, young adult literature (YA) and nationalist blog texts. The book presents both Finnish and international academic discussions, in which researchers in the fields of gender studies, arts and literature, and cultural studies challenge contemporary English abstract 279 understanding of gender, sexuality, power, and violence. Moreover, Gender and Violence provides tools for critical discussions on violence and in-depth scrutiny about its cost on all of us. Gender and Violence is an anthology of academic research articles. It works well as an academic textbook, but it also provides timely and new knowledge for everyone interested in questions of gender and violence – phenomena that touch upon all of us."

    Description: " This is a collection of essays about the Norwegian ballade, but it also includes ballads from the other Nordic countries. Many perceive the Norwegian ballad as something very close to what is considered the Norwegian soul, however the genre of the ballad dates back to the 1100 century in Europe. In the first essay the author will shed light on the duality of the origin of the ballad. In the second essay, the author writes about the Norwegian ballade, where they arose, how they lived on and looks into what kind of tradition they represent. Trolls and ballads are topics of the third essay, and in the fourth essay the author takes a closer look at two Danish song- and ballad books, namely Hundreviserboka by Anders Sørensen Vedel and the sequel, Tohundreviserboka, by Peder Syvs. The fifth essay is about ballads and identity. A central question being asked here, is how both poets and tradition help establish the identity of the actors in the ballade. Furthermore, sixth essay focuses on mythical nature in ballads. The so-called jester ballads (Skjemteballadar), have long been invalidated by researchers. In the seventh essay, however, the author presents these ballades in relation to theories of comedy and laughter. Finally, the eighth essay the author presents some central European ballads."
    Description: "Denne boka er ei essaysamling om den norske balladen, men handlar også om balladar (folkeviser) frå andre nordiske land. Mange oppfattar den norske balladen som noko av det norskaste som finst, nærmast eit uttrykk for folkesjela. Men balladesjangeren har europeiske røter, dei går attende til 1200-talet. Denne problemstillinga drøfter forfattaren særleg i det første essayet. I det andre essayet skriv forfattaren om dei norske balladesongarane, kvar dei kom frå, korleis dei levde, kva for tradisjon dei representerte. Det tredje essayet handlar om troll og balladar, og i det fjerde essayet ser forfattaren nærmare på to danske vise-og balladebøker, den såkalla Hundreviseboka, utgjeven av Anders Sørensen Vedel (1591) og Peder Syvs oppfølgjar Tohundreviseboka (1695). Det femte essayet handlar om identitet og balladedikting. Eit sentralt spørsmål her er korleis balladediktarane og tradisjonen byggjer opp identiteten til aktørane i balladen. Vidare i det sjette essayet skriv forfattaren om naturmytiske balladar. Det sjuande essayet handlar om ei gruppe viser som lenge vart underkjende av forskinga, skjemteballadane. Her trekker forfattaren fram nokre representative skjemteballadar og skjemteeventyr, desse tekstane blir drøfta på bakgrunn av teoriar om komikk og latter. I siste del av 1700-talet vart dei gamle folkevisene gjenoppdaga av eit nytt litterært publikum, og det vart i mange land dikta kunstballadar som bygde på den gamle tradisjonsdiktinga. I det åttande essayet drøfter forfattaren nokre sentrale kunstballadar frå fleire europeiske land, blant dei viser som ettertida har forvist til skillingsvisekategorien."
