Encountering Crises of the Mind
Mental health and madness have been challenging topics for historians. The field has been marked by tension between the study of power, expertise and institutional control of insanity, and the study of patient experiences. This collection contributes to the ongoing discussion on how historians encounter mental ‘crises’. It deals with diagnoses, treatments, experiences and institutions largely outside the mainstream historiography of madness – in what might be described as its peripheries and borderlands (from medieval Europe to Cold War Hungary, from the Atlantic slave coasts to Indian princely states, and to the Nordic countries). The chapters highlight many contests and multiple stakeholders involved in dealing with mental suffering, and the importance of religion, lay perceptions and emotions in crises of mind. Contributors are Jari Eilola, Waltraud Ernst, Anssi Halmesvirta, Markku Hokkanen, Kalle Kananoja, Tuomas Laine-Frigrén, Susanna Niiranen, Anu Rissanen, Kirsi Tuohela, and Jesper Vaczy Kragh.
Muutoksen tekijät hyvässä seurassa
Muutoksen tekijät hyvässä seurassa kertoo 90 vuotta täyttävän Suomen tieteellisen kirjastoseuran tarinaa maamme yliopistojen, korkeakoulujen ja tutkimuslaitosten kirjastoista. Samalla se käsittelee kirjasto- ja informaatioalalla tapahtunutta valtavaa muutosta, joka on seurannut tieteellisen tutkimuksen informaatiotulvaa ja automaation mukanaan tuomia ratkaisuja, joissa kirjastot ovat olleet valppaina mukana. Kirjassa keskitytään vuosiin 1970-2010 jolloin tiedonhallinta ja -hankinta sekä sen jakaminen alkoivat vaatia aivan uudenlaista kykyä pysyä mukana muuttuvassa toimintaympäristössä, mutta samalla sivutaan myös vanhempia vuosikymmeniä samoin kuin aivan viime vuosina tapaht...
Writing the Self
Recent discussions of autobiographical writing have led to a new terminology (autographies, autre-biographies, nouvelle autobiographie, autofiction, faction, egolitterature, circonfession), and current approaches to autobiography and autofiction suggest that this literary field offers a renewal and even a revolution of life-writing. Exploring autobiographical expression from different perspectives, the thirty essays in this book were presented at an international conference held at Sodertorn University in 2014. As the essays in this anthology suggest, literary critics and authors alike are rethinking autobiographical writing and its definitions. Through the variety of papers, this anthology offers a thought-provoking overview of different approaches to autobiography and autofiction."

Oneiron
‘This book is stunning, phenomenal, wow.’ Cecelia Ahern, author of P.S. I Love You WINNER OF THE FINLANDIA PRIZE Seven women meet in a white, undefined space seconds after their deaths Time, as we understand it, has ceased to exist, and all bodily sensations have disappeared. None of the women can remember what happened to them, where they are, or how they got there. They don’t know each other. In turn they try to remember, to piece together the fragments of their lives, their identities, their lost loves, and to pinpoint the moment they left their former lives behind. Deftly playing with genres from essay to poetry, Oneiron is an astonishing work that explores the question of what follows death and delves deep into the lives and experiences of seven unforgettable women.
