    Extractions: Finnish Food February, 1999 A Little Finnish Culture: Food Greetings to all. Sorry I have not been very active but hopefully I have gotten back into the spirit of things. This time around I will tackle the world of Finnish Food, by request: MAKKARA, Sausage. This is the most favorite basic Finnish food. You can find all varieties available here, however the most popular are the “Blue” and “Red” brands. They are like super size hotdogs. They are best grilled in the fireplace right after spending some time in the sauna. PIZZA is very popular here. Too bad it is so horrible. They have their own idea about what crust should be like. Too bad. Where can you get the best pizza in Finland, out of my oven, or from Pizza Hut. SALMIAKI. This is a medicine tasting black licorice. Very popular here, and nowhere else. Foreigners do not seem to appreciate it as much. Salmiaki can also be found in gum, ice cream, mints, and my favorite, liquified in vodka. When served as a shot, it is quite tasty. I truly like salmiaki but not before noon. There are all sorts of FRESH FISH available in the markets. Salmon is by far the most popular. Another popular fish is the Baltic herring. Each fall, the herring fleet comes to Helsinki for a weeklong herring festival. Salmon Soup is my favorite. Nothing like a bowl of creamy salmon soup while taking a break during skiing. Since it is popular, fish ends up in places you normally do not expect to find it, like tuna fish pizza, fish pies, and fish spread in a tube.

43. Finnish Culture Corner
    finnish culture Corner Published in the United States of America in 1970 by Praeger Publishers Inc. 111 Fourth Avenue, NY NY 10003 © 1970 by Göran Schildt.  
    http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~jimthing/finnish.htm
    
    Extractions: This book was written by my father, H J Viherjuuri, after many years of research into the history and customs of the sauna, or Finnish bath. His enthusiasm for this most characteristic of Finnish institutions was such that he wanted to see it enjoyed outside as well as inside Finland. Before his death, this book, originally written in Finnish, had been translated into Swedish and German, and it was his hope to see it also in English. I am therefore very grateful to the various translators and in particular to Wendy Hall, who has supervised the final version, who have made possible this English edition.

    Extractions: The lights dimmed and were focused on Carolyn Goelzer, the narrator, who began the story. After the short introduction amazing vocalists could be heard from every direction. Completely enveloped by these sounds in the darkness I found myself shivering. Eventually the lights brightened on the stage and dancers (choreographed by Wynn Fricke) and the band struck up along with the vocalists (Mackenzie, Petra Zilliacus and Soila Sariola).

47. Finnish Culture
    finnish culture. The Theatre. The annual Savonlinna International Opera Festival is one of the most important events in finnish culture.  
    http://www.hut.fi/~juheikki/FINLAND/culture.htm
    
    Extractions: The roots of Finnish culture are in the life of those early Finns who lived in prehistoric times, reflected in the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, collected by Elias Lönnrot from oral tradition at the beginning of the 19th century. Also the influence of Sweden and the Catholic Church on western Finland as well as that of the Orthodox Church in the east are visible. The Finnish association with nature goes back to pre-Christian times when earth spirits were worshipped. Then came Christianity and after the Reformation in 1520's the Saints disappeared from the calendars but many old legends and myths still have their place in folk customs. Traditional folklore and art survived as late as early twentieth century. The first Finnish ABC-book was published in 1543 by Mikael Agricola (1510-1557). The Bible came out in Finnish in 1640. National romanticism also flourished in Swedish by such Finnish authors as Runeberg and Topelius. Finnish novel was born when Aleksis Kivi (1834-1872) published his "The Cobblers of the Heath" in 1864 and his "Seven Brothers" came out in 1870. The turn of the century introduced Minna Canth with her plays. F.E. Sillanpää won the Nobel Prize in 1939 with his novels of Finnish rural life. One of the most popular Finnish authors is Mika Waltari (1908-1979) with his "The Egyptian" which was also filmed in Hollywood and has been translated to 25 languages. Also particularly successful has been the children's author Tove Jansson with her Muumin- books.

48. FF Network 16 - Atlases Of Finnish Folk Culture
    Atlases of Finnish folk culture (FFN 16, October 1998 1820) The aim of the study was to identify the structural differences in local finnish culture.  
    http://www.folklorefellows.fi/netw/ffn16/atlases.html
    
    Extractions: Background The idea of maps to show the diffusion of items of ethnic folk culture first spread in cultural geography and ethnographic statistical geography in the mid-19th century. Interest was aroused in Finland, too, before the century was over. When a large-scale atlas project was launched in Germany in the 1920s, ethnographers in Finland likewise began to demand a similar venture. Projects at mapping various aspects of folk culture were gradually put in hand in the 1930s by linguists, ethnologists and folklorists. During the war atlas projects soon came to a halt as the cartographers were ordered to the front or other special wartime assignments. But the 213 maps appended to the Suomen murteet (Finnish Dialects) produced single-handed by Professor Lauri Kettunen appeared in 1940 already.

    Cultural Statistics is a versatile review on the state and recent developments of finnish culture in the form of statistical data and concise summary articles.  
    http://www.stat.fi/tk/el/kva_kulttuuri_en.html
    
    Extractions: The work on cultural statistics was started by Statistics Finland in the late 1970s. Large compilations were published in 1978 and 1984. They extended the definition of culture to mass media, on which statistics have been compiled as separate wholes regularly since 1987. The third issue of Cultural Statistics, following a narrower definition, was published in 1999 and the fourth in 2002. Statistics on culture will be compiled on a regular basis by Statistics Finland; and the next compilation will be issued in 2004. In the intermediate years special surveys are made on less accurately recorded sectors or on topical themes. A report on cultural labour force in 1970-1999 was published in 2001. Cultural statistics are compiled in co-operation between Statistics Finland and the Ministry of Education. Cultural Statistics is a versatile review on the state and recent developments of Finnish culture in the form of statistical data and concise summary articles. The publication examines financing of the arts and culture, cultural labour force, cultural enterprises, cultural events, buildings and journals, cultural heritage, museums and libraries. Each field of art is organised into a section of its own (film, literature, visual and photographic art, crafts and design, music, architecture, dance and theatre). Cultural statistics is published every two years (next in 2004). It is produced entirely in Finnish and English.

    http://www.joensuu.fi/yhtpol/Opiskelu/kulttuuripolitiikka4.htm
    
    Extractions: Pirkkoliisa Ahponen ALIENATION IN FINNISH CULTURE "Finns weep alone at home in the evening." It is common to compare cultural qualities, i.e. values and habits or behaviour of people, on the assumption that some cultural forms are typical in one special social group and not so common in another group. In this sense even expressions of emotions like crying, laughing, and smiling can be included among behaviors which are valued according to their special socio-cultural significance for the group in question. The psychological aspect of emotions is felt and known to differ markedly among individuals, because emotions are expressions of our inner selves. The social dimension of feelings concerns how many sentiments we share with others, how many emotions we have in common with other members of our group, and how our emotions differ from those of others. In this respect, expressions of emotions and sentiments are culturally important because they have a communicative function. In an Inclusive Culture, Exclusion Is Alienation

    FINNISHSWEDISH CULTURE. Despite their small number, the Swedish speakers have a major impact on finnish culture, society, and economic life.  
    http://www.aktivist.fi/inenglish/f.html
    
    Extractions: F FINNISH DESIGN Finnish children are taught at school that Finland is known all over the world not only because of sauna, sisu, the midnight sun, and sports men, but also for "Finnish design." Even though some ironic voices turn the word into "Finished design," our designers are still among the best in the world. Since in the early 1900's architects were also designers of furniture and other items, the history of Finnish design is closely related to architecture . Probably the most influential were Eliel Saarinen and Alvar Aalto . Aalto designed several prize-winning pieces of furniture and glassware, for example the famous Aalto vase (originally Savoy vase , 1936). Most Aalto furniture and tableware designs are still in production. After the Second World War a whole new profession was born to satisfy the needs of people and industry designers. Many Finnish designers became internationally successful, for example Tapio Wirkkala (1915-85), Timo Sarpaneva (born 1926), Kaj Franck (1911-89), Gunnel Nyman (1909-48), Saara Hopea (1925-84), Nanny Still (born 1926), and Oiva Toikka (born 1931). The year 1951 was the breakthrough of Finnish glassware. Known as the "Milan Miracle," this was the year that Finns, Tapio Wirkkala leading the way, won nearly all the series at the
