Regarding the architectural characteristics of the sauna buildings, the reader learns of the transformation of the old-type smoke sauna or savusauna (the only one still existing is in Rorketon) into electric and gas heated saunas (p. 106). There is a short account of Estonian and Dukhobor saunas in the province (pp. 101-5) but this is of doubtful relevance. The Estonian sauna material is too little to provide any significant parallels to the main topic, and the decline of the Dukhobor bania or Russian steam bath is unrelated to the Finnish experience. Finally, references to two other studies [ Note 1. Matt T. Salo.

In these courses, basic proficiency in Finnish is developed through speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Students will learn both the written and spoken varieties of Finnish, which can differ quite markedly from one another. In addition to the course textbook, authentic materials reflecting Finnish culture (e.g., songs, movies, TV news broadcasts, etc.) will also be used. Much of class time will focus on interactive communicative activities designed to activate the material learned in class, with students working in groups or pairs. Intermediate Finnish: FIN 1003 (4003) and 1004 (4004) Instructor: Dan Karvonen In FIN 1003 (4003) and 1004 (4004), the two-semester intermediate course in Finnish, students' skills in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding will be further honed and refined. Students will continue to be exposed to both the written and spoken varieties of Finnish. In addition to the course textbook, authentic materials reflecting Finnish culture (e.g., songs, movies, TV news broadcasts, newspaper articles, etc.) will also be used. Much of the class time will focus on interactive communicative activities designed to activate the material learned in class, with students working in groups or pairs. These courses will prepare students to take the Language Proficiency Exam (LPE), which will be taken towards the end of 1004 (4004)

University of Turku Department of Cultural Studies III. Religion, Individual and Sociocultural Structures in Finland Anne Puuronen : Anorexia, a phenomenological account. Phil. Lic. Teemu Taira : Life Projects of the Unemployed The aim of this research is to examine how unemployed people in Finland contextually construct their life projects in relation to discourses on work and unemployment. To say that research is contextual means that the ultimate focus is context. This leads to tracing of the cultural meanings of work in the writings of the unemployed and, further, to trace the historical and structural conditions of these texts and their possible effects. : Civil Religion in Finland Finnish religiousness is a sort of culture religiousness. Culture religion is the opposite to the personal religious commitment. The Finnish people are born to Finnish culture and to Lutheran religion and they do not want to change neither of them during their lifetime. Being a member of the church and using its services as a rites of passage at the special occasions of life are part of Finnish culture and part of Finnish culture religion and they do not necessarily tell about persons religious beliefs. In my research I will focus on Civil religion in Finland after the Second World War. Civil religion is an implicit religion but it can be observed through the rituals, symbols and beliefs, which are connected to the nation and its membership in both the public and the private level of the society. I suggest that civil religion is not so latent as has been thought, but it is an essential part of Finnish life from birth to grave, giving sacred dimension to the highlights of every day's life.

@import url("css/general.css"); http://www.webstandards.org/upgrade/ (englanninkielinen sivu). Finnish culture at the beginning of the 1800s. The status of the Finnish language left much to be desired during the period of Swedish rule. The language used in schools and universities was either Swedish or Latin, and the language of state administration was Swedish. Only the ordinary peasants in the countryside spoke Finnish, and the only publications to appear in Finnish were some legal texts and religious literature. Timo Setälä 1998. SKS By the end of the 1700s, however, there was already a small group of students at Turku University who were familiar with the ideology of National Romanticism. These students realized that the language of the common people, as well as folklore collection and publication were crucial to the development of a uniquely Finnish culture. As part of the Russian empire, Finland occupied a special status. Located between Sweden and Russia, Finland was the military buffer zone in Russia's northwest corner. On the other hand, the Finns' autonomous status meant that they could begin to see themselves as a separate nation for the first time. Although new cultural ties were formed with St. Petersburg, the border between the Finland and the Swedish 'motherland' was not entirely closed off. Romanticist ideals became stronger and made a significant impact on the attitudes of Finland's Swedish-speaking elite, who began to collect, study and publish Finnish folk poetry.

Kassandra - A Finnish Woman Tuija Sihvo The Kassandra 2000 Project is searching for a new sense of Finnish identity: We see it on the streets, but in reality we know very little about it. “Thousands of women from many different cultural backgrounds live in Helsinki. What do we know about them, their lives and their wishes? If immigrants are a marginal group in our society then the immigrant women must be the marginal group of that marginal group,” Ritva Siikala, the director of women’s theatre group “Raivoisat Ruusut” (ie. the Raging Roses), says. Siikala herself knows more about the lives of this marginal group than the average Finns do. One of her children is adopted from Africa and the other, her biological child, is married to a Gambian-born man. In the course of years, Ritva Siikala has encountered the wide range of attitudes that Finnish people have towards immigrants. “Where else could a person driving by open the car window and spit at the African passer-by or a drunken person pour a bottle of Coca Cola to the pram of a Somali baby without anyone taking any action against the attacker?” Siikala asks. The project Kassandra 2000 was then developed.

However, thanks to the Gulf Stream, the climate is much warmer than one would expect. The summers are warm, with the temperature often rising to 70-80 F. The winters are colder. This makes the changes of the four seasons quite dramatic - with each new season being different. With her clean natural environment and the vibrant cultural life, Finland offers an excellent setting for many activities. Finland covers an area of 338,000 square kilometers, of which 10% is water and 69% forest. There are over 187,000 lakes, 5,100 rapids, and over 179 000 islands, including Europe's largest archipelago. The natural beauty is available to everyone. Everyman's right allows free right of access to the land and waterways, irrespective of who owns the land.

Previous Page Back to Project Gallery Antiquity Vol 78 No 301 September 2004 First Preboreal inland site in North Scandinavia discovered in Finnish Lapland Tuija Rankama Figure 1: Figure 2: Excavation in progress at the Sujala site. Click to enlarge. A test excavation was conducted at the Sujala site between June 27 and July 3, 2004 (Figure 2). The excavation team located two clusters of artefacts about 200 metres from each other. Eight 1 x 1 metre test squares were excavated in and around each cluster. Most of the finds lay within the first five centimetres below the turf layer. The small size of the clusters and the thinness of the find layer suggest that the site represents the remains of short visits by small groups of people. The excavation yielded c. 360 lithic artefacts, most of which were made of a green/light brown chert native to the North Norwegian coast but not found in the inland region in Finland. They include two exhausted blade cores (Figure 3). One (Figure 3:1) is a single platform core, three sides of which have been used for blade production. The other (Figure 3:2) is a one-sided blade core with two opposing platforms and acute platform angles. A small tanged point (Figure 4) was also found. It is 42.1 millimetres long and is made from a blade of the same raw material as the cores. The tang is bifacially flaked and the tip is retouched on the ventral side. The right side is also slightly retouched. The thickness is so even that it is difficult to judge which end of the point was the proximal end of the original blade.
