Helsinki in Early Twentieth-Century Literature
Helsinki in Early Twentieth-Century Literature analyses experiences of the Finnish capital in prose fiction published in Finnish in the period 1890–1940. It examines the relationships that are formed between Helsinki and fictional characters, focusing, especially, on the way in which urban public space is experienced. Particular attention is given to the description of movement through urban space. The primary material consists of a selection of more than sixty novels, collections of short stories and individual short stories. This study draws on two sets of theoretical frameworks: on the one hand, the expanding field of literary studies of the city, and on the other hand, concepts provide...

Historian väitöskirjan tekemisestä
Kirja dokumentoi yhden, vuosien 2020-2023 välillä koetun Suomen historian väitöskirjan tekoprosessin. Siinä toivossa, että viisikymppisen, historiaa lähes 30 vuotta harrastaneen systeemi- ja operaatiotutkimuksen diplomi-insinöörin historian väitöskirjan teko pandemian aikana, omalla rahalla, kävelyetäisyydellä Suomen suurimmasta tutkimuskirjastosta ja melkein rajoittamattomilla ajankäyttömahdollisuuksilla sisältäisi epätavanomaisuudestaan huolimatta piirteitä, joista olisi hyötyä tai apua muille.
Villi Suomen historia
Viihdyttävästi ja oivaltavasti tieteestä ja tieteen liepeiltä Tiedonmuruja vai hölynpölyä? Hurmaavan hullunkuriset näkemykset Suomen historiasta ja suomalaisuudesta herättävät pohtimaan, missä kulkevat tieteen ja humpuukin rajat. Ovatko suomalaiset kotoisin Atlantiksesta, vai polveudummeko Israelin kadonneista heimoista? Ovatko Egyptin eli Äijäkupittaan pyramidit suomalaisten rakentamia? Entä onko suomi ihmiskunnan yhteinen alkukieli?Tieteen tulokset eivät aina riitä, kun isänmaanystävät alkavat kertoa menneisyydestä. Villi Suomen historia esittelee Suomea, suomen kieltä ja maamme esihistoriaa koskevaa näennäistieteellistä teoretisointia ja kysyy samalla, mikä erottaa nämä hurjat tarinat tieteellisestä tutkimuksesta. FT Inkeri Koskinen on tieteenfilosofian tutkija. Hän tekee Helsingin yliopistossa väitöksen jälkeistä tutkimusta tieteenulkoista tietoa hyödyntävän tieteen objektiivisuuden mahdollisuuksista.
Nordic Fascism
Nordic Fascism is the first comprehensive history in English of fascism in the Nordic countries. Transnational cooperation between radical nationalists has especially been the case in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, where fascism has not only developed through interdependent processes but also through interactions between and beyond national boundaries, and where “racial relationship” has been a core argument. With chapters ranging from the inception of fascism in the interwar years up to the present day, this book offers the first fragments of an entangled history of Nordic fascism. It illuminates how The North occupies a special place in the fascist imagination, articulating ideas about the Nordic people resisting the supposed cultural degeneration, replacement, or annihilation of the white race. The authors map ideological exchange between fascist organisations in the Nordic countries and outline past and present attempts at pan-Nordic state building. This book will appeal to scholars of fascism and Nordic history, and readers interested in the general history of fascism.
