Passages Westward
The West has always been a resource for the Finns. Scholars, artists and other professionals have sought contacts from Europe throughout the centuries. The Finnish experience in Western Europe and the New World is a story of migrant laborers, expatriates and specialists working abroad. But you don’t have to be born in Finland to be a Finn. The experiences of second-generation Finnish immigrants and their descendants open up new possibilities for understanding the relationship between Finland and the West. The Finnish passage westward has not always crossed national borders. Karelian evacuees headed west, as did young people from the Finnish countryside when opportunities to make a living in agriculture and forestry diminished in the post-war era. The legacy of these migrants is still visible in the suburbs of Finnish cities today. This book is a joint effort of the Department of Ethnology and the Department of History at the University of Helsinki. It was written by Ph. D. students supervised by Academy Research Fellows Maria Lähteenmäki and Hanna Snellman, in collaboration with colleagues abroad interested in current research in ethnology and history.
Moral Rights
The doctrine of moral rights is based on the idea that authors have a special bond with their own creative work. At present, the legal status of moral rights demands clarification and assessment as never before, particularly as the international expansion of moral rights occurs in the new environment of digital technology. Just as the survival of copyright law depends on its capacity to adapt effectively to the new technological environment, a new approach to moral rights is imperative. Moral Rights: Principles, Practice and New Technology is the first work to comprehensively address the role and challenges of moral rights in an environment of digital technology The problem is addressed from both practical and theoretical channels, and examples drawn from the legislation and practice of key jurisdictions around the world. The book concludes with a consideration of how the concept of moral rights can contribute to the re-organization of copyright law in a digital context.

The Palgrave Handbook of Asian Cinema
This collection offers new approaches to theorizing Asian film in relation to the history, culture, geopolitics and economics of the continent. Bringing together original essays written by established and emerging scholars, this anthology transcends the limitations of national borders to do justice to the diverse ways in which the cinema shapes Asia geographically and imaginatively in the world today. From the revival of the Silk Road as the “belt and road” of a rising China to historical ruminations on the legacy of colonialism across the continent, the authors argue that the category of “Asian cinema” from Turkey to the edges of the Pacific continues to play a vital role in cutting-edge film research. This handbook will serve as an essential guide for committed scholars, students, and all those interested in the past, present, and possible future of Asian cinema in the 21st century.
Eeva Joenpelto. Elämän kirjailija
"Pidä leukasi pystyssä, jos haluat tulla arvostetuksi miesten maailmassa." Kirjailijoiden kuningattaren elämässä oli loiston lisäksi suurta tragediaa. On aika kertoa hänen tarinansa. Kirjailijoiden kuningatar, lukijoiden rakastama Lohja-sarjan luoja, vahva nainen joka pyöritti kustantajia mielensä mukaan. Eeva Joenpellon elämään mahtui säihkettä ja tunnustuksia mutta myös suurta tragediaa: menetyksiä, pettymyksiä, riitoja ja panettelua. Vahvan naisen osa 1900-luvun Suomessa ei ollut aina helppo, ei myöskään kirjallisissa piireissä. Helena Ruuska kertoo Joenpellon elämän lapsuuden peltomaisemista Sammatista Helsingin seurapiireihin ja vanhuuden yksinäisiin päiviin. FT Helena Ruuska on tietokirjailija, äidinkielenopettaja, kriitikko ja Suomen tietokirjailijat ry:n varapuheenjohtaja. Ruuskan teos Marja-Liisa Vartio - Kuin linnun kirkaisu herätti ihastusta 2012.
