Abstract

The volume is a comprehensive handbook of oral history and memory studies in Finland. The Finnish research field has originally emerged at the collaborative intersection of history, folklore studies, and ethnology. Since then, this field has developed into vibrant multi- and cross-disciplinary arena characterized by a strong focus on methodological issues related to memory in culture and theoretical engagement with studies on narration and processes of remembering. The chapters of the book explore the perspectives on the production of memory-based knowledge in oral history interviews and collection campaigns of written reminiscences. Moreover, the book introduces versatile methodological approaches to the study of memory and memories, ranging from narrative to corpus analysis, and investigates the multiple media of remembrance from documentary film to museum exhibition. The chapters of the book also engage the field's disciplinary position and interrogate the potentials and challenges related to the application of the methods of oral history research and the use of memory-based knowledge beyond academia in political, societal, and community-based projects.

Abstract

A fresh anthropological look at a central but neglected topic: the profound changes in rural life throughout Western Europe today. As locals leave for jobs in cities they are replaced by neo-hippies, lifestyle-seekers, eco-activists, and labour migrants from beyond the EU. With detailed ethnographic examples, contributors analyse new modes of living rurally and emerging forms of social organisation. As incomers’ dreams come up against residents’ realities, they detail the clashes and the cooperations between old and new residents. They make us rethink the rural/urban divide, investigate regionalists’ politicisation of rural life and heritage, and reveal how locals use EU monies to prop up or challenge existing hierarchies. They expose the consequences of and reactions to grand EU-restructuring policies, which at times threaten to turn the countryside into a manicured playground for escapee urbanites. This book will appeal to anyone seriously interested in the realities of rural life.

Abstract

In Life Is Elsewhere, Anne Lounsbery shows how nineteenth-century Russian literature created an imaginary place called "the provinces"-a place at once homogeneous, static, anonymous, and symbolically opposed to Petersburg and Moscow. Lounsbery looks at a wide range of texts, both canonical and lesser-known, in order to explain why the trope has exercised such enduring power, and what role it plays in the larger symbolic geography that structures Russian literature's representation of the nation's space. Using a comparative approach, she brings to light fundamental questions that have long gone unasked: how to understand, for instance, the weakness of literary regionalism in a country as large as Russia? Why the insistence, from Herzen through Chekhov and beyond, that all Russian towns look the same?  In a literary tradition that constantly compared itself to a western European standard, Lounsbery argues, the problem of provinciality always implied difficult questions about the symbolic geography of the nation as a whole. This constant awareness of a far-off European model helps explain why the provinces, in all their supposed drabness and predictability, are a topic of such fascination for Russian writers-why these anonymous places are in effect so important and meaningful, notwithstanding the culture's nearly unremitting emphasis on their nullity and meaninglessness.

Abstract

« J'avais une camarade qui lisait à la lueur de la lune... » « Acheter des livres, c'est comme acheter des fleurs... » « Moi j'adore les atlas ! » L'image d'une campagne sans livres, lieu de culture orale, a longtemps prévalu, et peut-être prévaut-elle encore, chez les citadins. Et pourtant... De la côte bretonne aux campagnes méridionales, des vallées normandes aux collines bourguignonnes, une mosaïque de « pays », autant de situations socioéconomiques spécifiques, autant de modèles culturels hérités, qui peuvent parfois prendre le pas sur les déterminations sociales. Des pratiques de lectures singulières, un jeu complexe entre offre et demande. Mais aussi, d'un bout à l'autre de la France rurale, des façons de lire souvent partagées : la lecture « accumulation », la lecture « échappée solitaire », celle qui permet d'accéder à une citoyenneté longtemps entravée, de repenser son identité en ces temps de crise, de s'ouvrir sur d'autres espaces. Entre ces manières de lire et les usages urbains, la frontière reste fragile... L'espace culturel, est-ce pour autant un espace qui s'uniformise ?

Abstract

Sterbende Dörfer, Verödung und Niedergang: In Wissenschaft und Medien stehen ländliche Räume häufig für Orte des Mangels und der Benachteiligung. Zugleich bringen utopisch anmutende Vorstellungen und Bilder des Lebens auf dem Land so viel Glanz mit sich, dass sie in Werbung und Kultur sowie in den Wünschen und Orientierungen vieler Menschen Anklang finden. Die Beiträger*innen gehen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven diesem utopischen Glanz nach. Sie fragen, inwiefern »Utopien des Ländlichen« ein Zugang sein können, um Vorstellungen eines gelingenden gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens zu entwickeln und zu erproben - und welche konkreten Forderungen für die Regionalentwicklung und -politik damit verbunden sind.
