Demoting the Agent
Passives, middles, and other voice phenomena are issues at the core of modern linguistic research. This volume brings together different perspectives on voice different theoretical viewpoints, different languages, and different kinds of voice phenomena. The eleven articles each make a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion, offering new data, new analyses, and bringing new light to long-standing issues. In combination, they present a multi-faceted and yet coherent picture of the topics at hand.
A History of Finland's Literature
The literature of Finland is bilingual, with lively and extensive traditions in both Finnish and Swedish. This history covers both literary traditions in detail. The volume?s first section, on Finnish-language literature, consists of a series of connected chapters by leading authorities within the field. It opens with a consideration of the folk literature in Finnish that flourished during the Middle Ages and then examines the more recent history of Finnish-language literature, with special emphasis placed on writings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The second part of the book provides an examination of Finland?s Swedish-language literature from the late fifteenth century through the early nineteenth century. Subsequent chapters trace developments in Finland?s Swedish-language literature during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A survey of children?s literature?from both the Finnish- and Swedish-language traditions?concludes this exceptionally thorough volume.

Mr. Smith
Maailma on tarina, pelkkiä tarinoita jotka oli upotettu toisiin tarinoihin. Mr. Smith on huikea romaani idän ja lännen, menneen ja nykyisen, toden ja kuvitellun rajalta. Romaani on samalla matka vanhasta maailmasta globalisaation sekasortoon ja Euroopan kukoistuksen päivistä materialisoituneen maailman auringonlaskuun. Teoksen henkilögalleria ulottuu kauniista Briscillasta eläkkeelle jääneeseen päätoimittaja Orvo Manniseen ja hänen älypuhelinpalveluita kehittävään poikaansa sekä ehtyvän luovuutensa kanssa kamppailevaan kirjailija Erkka Torroon. Kerrontaa tahdittaa salaperäinen Mr. Smith. Hän sukkuloi ajassa ja tilassa, historiassa ja tässä päivässä Münchhausenin suvereeniudella ja ruhtinas My kinin intohimolla. Hän tietää kaikesta paljon ja on omistautunut ongelmien ratkaisemiseen. Eräs niistä on hänen isoisänsä ja tämän kadoksiin joutuneen käsikirjoituksen arvoitus. Kulkeeko Mr. Smith isoisänsä, herra Schmidtin, jalanjälkiä: eksyttäviä polkuja, jotka risteilevät halki kaoottisen elämän johtamatta muualle kuin epävarmuuteen ja yksinäisyyteen? Kaikki etsivät. Lohdullista on, että joku myös löytää.
The New Finnish Theatre
With its impressive variety of theater, Finland is a superpower of performing arts. Finnish theater, however, is presently a hotbed of cultural debate regarding the artistic quality of its performances. This comprehensive overview of contemporary theater explores many of the most contentious questions concerning applied theater, its devised methods, and the corresponding challenges presented to traditional definitions of theater and related arts. Through interviews with new writers and directors, and first-hand accounts of recent performances, this study attempts to define what it means today to say "Finnish theater." It also addresses issues concerning Finland's emergence as a cultural player within the European Union and implications for its evolving national identity.

The Art and Occupation of Stage Design in Finnish Theatres
This study explores the formation, establishment, expansion, and disintegration of stage design as a modern profession and a recognized artform in Finnish theatres. Drawing on oral or written recollections and thoughts of stage designers from different decades, the author asks how their artistic agencies, occupational identities, and theoretical self-understanding have been constituted. She analyses Finnish theatre history from new perspectives by shifting the focus from finished performances to largely unknown practices behind the scenes. This book examines the cultural institutions that have constituted the stage designers’ role and position, like the professional city theatre system, th...

Theatre Worlds in Motion
Theatre Worlds in Motion aims to clarify the different theatre traditions and practices in Western Europe from a historical and sociological perspective. The book grew out of a perceived need among theatre scholars who had recognised that, while they understood the theatre system of their own country, they often found it difficult to discover how it compared with other countries. The chapters analyse the basic components and dynamics of theatre systems in seventeen Western European nations in order to elucidate how the systems function in general and how they vary in different cultures. The book provides a sense of what has been happening recently in particular countries, and indicates how t...
