Men, Masculinities and the Modern Career
This book focuses on the multiple and diverse masculinities ‘at work’. Spanning both historical approaches to the rise of ‘profession’ as a marker of masculinity, and critical approaches to the current structures of management, employment and workplace hierarchy, the book questions what role masculinity plays in cultural understandings, affective experiences and mediatised representations of a professional ‘career’.
Mythic Discourses
Mythic discourses in the present day show how vernacular heritage continues to function and be valuable through emergent interpretations and revaluations. At the same time, continuities in mythic images, motifs, myths and genres reveal the longue durée of mythologies and their transformations. The eighteen articles of Mythic Discourses address the many facets of myth in Uralic cultures, from the Finnish and Karelian world-creation to Nenets shamans, offering multidisciplinary perspectives from twenty eastern and western scholars. The mythologies of Uralic peoples differ so considerably that mythology is approached here in a broad sense, including myths proper, religious beliefs and associated rituals. Traditions are addressed individually, typologically, and in historical perspective. The range and breadth of the articles, presenting diverse living mythologies, their histories and relationships to traditions of other cultures such as Germanic and Slavic, all come together to offer a far richer and more developed perspective on Uralic traditions than any one article could do alone.

The Nordic Media and the Cold War
The Cold War between the East and West during the period 1945-1991 was a rivalry where the world's doom constantly emerged as a possible result. It was global and included northern European countries like Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway in different ways. Historians are still discussing how Cold War history should be understood in these countries, but they have rarely been concerned about mass media and communications. Meanwhile, many media scholars have neglected the theme entirely. In this book, these two areas of knowledge are combined in new research on the Nordic mass media, and their significance during the Cold War. A number of controversial topics are covered. Nineteen Nordic sch...
Matka Mongoliaan vuosina 1253-1255
Vilhelm Rubrukin matkakertomus vuodelta 1255 on oppinut, tarkka ja eloisa kuvaus vastamuotoutuneesta mongolivaltakunnasta, maailmanhistorian laajimmasta mannerimperiumista. Flaamilainen fransiskaani Vilhelm Rubruk osallistui Ranskan kuninkaan Ludvig IX:n johtamalla ristiretkelle (1248-1254), ja Pyhältä maalta kuningas lähetti hänet mongolien pariin. Rubruk kertoo kuninkaalle pitkästä matkastaan Euroopan ja kristikunnan ulkopuolelle, aina nykyisen Mongolian alueelle Karakorumin kaupunkiin. Mongolien lisäksi Rubruk tarkastelee muitakin idän kansoja ja näiden asuinseutuja, selvittää sanatarkasti suurkaani Möngken kanssa käytyjä keskusteluja ja tarjoaa mm. ensimmäiset laajat latinankieliset kuvaukset Aasian nestoriolaisesta kristinuskosta sekä buddhalaisuudesta. Kronologisesti, ensimmäisessä persoonassa etenevä teos muistuttaa hämmästyttävästi nykyaikaista matkakertomusta, ja Itinerarium-teosta onkin pidetty usein läntisen keskiajan hienoimpana matkakertomuksena.
