Beyond the Superficial: Making Sense of Food in a Globalized World
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. The ten essays which make up this volume create a delectable salad, which stands out both in taste and appeal, through a multifarious exploration of themes enriching the all-inclusive discourse on food. Rather than reiterating the debates that have been hashed and re-hashed in various disciplines, the essays compiled here explore novel ideas and spark unique discussions regarding the situatedness of food in everyday life using parameters such as culture, identity, space and taste. Employing unique inter- and intra-disciplinary methodologies and critical approaches, each article explores the evolution of definitions of food, cuisine and foodways and focuses on the ways in which discussions about food have moved beyond the superficial – food as a means of survival – to play a role in economic, social, political, cultural and ideological realms. By transcending boundaries of discipline, methodology and interest areas, this compilation will appeal to the tastes of anyone interested in food.
Folklore and Nationalism in Europe During the Long Nineteenth Century

Creating Diversities
The effects of globalization and the momentous changes to the political map of Europe have led to a world in which multiculturalism and ethnic differences have become issues of increasing importance. In Nordic countries, relationships between new immigrants, local ethnic groups and majorities are created in ongoing and sometimes heated discussions. In transforming multicultural societies, folklore has taken on new manifestations and meanings. How can folklore studies illuminate the present cultural, political and historical changes? "Creating Diversities. Folklore, Religion and the Politics of Heritage", edited by Anna-Leena Siikala, Barbro Klein and Stein R. Mathisen, seeks answers to this ...
Tradition through Modernity
In their study of social practices deemed traditional, scholars tend to use the concept and idea of tradition as an element of meaning in the practices under investigation. But just whose meaning is it? Is it a meaning generated by those who study tradition or those whose traditions are being studied? In both cases, particular criteria for traditionality are employed, whether these are explicated or not. Individuals and groups will no doubt continue to uphold their traditional practices or refer to their practices as traditional. While they are in no way obliged to explicate in analytical terms their criteria for traditionality, the same cannot be said for those who make the study of traditi...

Sukutarina kertoo ylhäisaatelistotaustasta. Tutkija Kaarlo Wirilander viittaa Hillebrandt-sukuun tutkimuksessaan "Suomen upseeristo 1700-luvulla" tässä tutkimuksessa hän toteaa että suomalaisissa rykmenteissä oli upseeri- ja aliupseeritehtävissä ammattisotilaita joiden sukutarinassa kerrotaan kaukaisten esi-isien olleen aatelista alkuperää.

Alexander Hillebrandt
Alexander Hillebrandt s. 21.12.1716 Uppsalassa aloitti sotilasuransa 15-vuotiaana Ruotsin armeijassa. Hänen isänsä Johann Michael Hillebrandt liittyi KaarleXII armeijaan karoliinina ja yleni lopulta sodissa kapteeniksi. Johann taisteli mm. Mälkiällä, Napuella ja selvisi elossa hyiseltä kuolemanmarssilta eli Norjan sotaretkeltä 1718, jossa Kaarle XII sai surmansa. Monien sotien rasittamana Johann kuoli vuonna 1720 Ruotsissa. Hattujen sodassa venäläisiä vastaan Alexander Hillebrandt ylennettiin varusmestariksi 1941 ja samana vuonna vielä majoittajaksi. Sodan jatkuessa Alexander ylennettiin lippumieheksi v. 1742.
