“…Karjalan evakkojen kokemuksia, tarinoita ja muistoja on tutkittu ja julkaistu myöskin englanniksi melko laajasti 2000-luvulla (mm. Armstrong 2004;Böök 2004;Fingerroos 2008;Niukko 2009). Myös arkistoidut muistelmat ja selviytyneiden evakkojen haastattelut tuottavat jatkuvasti uutta tutkimusta (ks.…”

Tämä artikkeli käsittelee ennen tutkimatonta aihetta: Minkälaisia merkityksiä Suomessa asuvat nykynuoret liittävät Karjalaan? Kysymykseen vastataan fokusryhmähaastatteluilla vuonna 2017 kerätyn aineiston avulla. Tutkimuksessa haastateltiin lukiolaisia (16–19 vuotta) ympäri Suomen. Tässä artikkelissa ”Karjala” viittaa maantieteelliseen Karjalaan, jonka Suomi luovutti Neuvostoliitolle toisen maailmansodan seurauksena. Aiemmat tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, että monet Karjalan jättäneistä suomalaisista pitävät sitä ”täydellisenä menetettynä paikkana”. Tulokset osoittavat, että Karjalalla on nuorten elämässä merkitystä, se on heille läsnä, ja he tuntevat olevansa osa ”meitä”, jotka menettivät Karjalan.

“…In fact Fingerroos (2008) 15 states that Finland's position between Eastern and Western Europe has been unstable even in the next few decades after the independence when a number of other modest countries have been deprived of their independence. During the Winter War sizable provinces next to the frontier have been taken over by the Soviet Union.…”

in East-Central Europe and the consequences of the reshaping of the entire region from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and Adriatic Sea. Several other political entities created at the end of World War I such as Ukraine, Georgia or Litbel succumbed after barely living for a few months or years of existence. How did the changes of borders and belonging affect the human communities living in the area and what impact did they have beyond the region on the short, medium and long-run? How were war and peace-making experienced in this region and how did they influence the changes of political geography? How did the processes of independence and unification reverberate throughout the region and how did state and non-state actors reflect, echo and react to this structural transformation of the area? How does this metamorphosis resonate in historical memory, the politics of memory and cultural identity, in historical narratives, including competing narratives, and in the use of history in identity politics a century after the guns were silenced? How does literature permeate the changes occurring at the end of the war to end all wars in the region? How do art, architecture, patrimony, in general, capture the message of those tremendous transformations? Places of commemoration, autobiographies, biographies and memoirs, empiric or theoretical research relevant to the conference topic stood also at the core of the conference.This issue opens with an article dealing with the staging of the celebrated Arthur Miller's version of An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen at the "Vasile Alecsandri" National Theatre in Iași in 2016. The author concludes that alterations of original texts lead to "a new piece of work".

“…The birth of Karelianism goes hand in hand with the Finnish national awakening. The early decades of the nineteenth century witnessed an upsurge of interest in Karelia's folk tradition (Fingerroos 2008, Harle 2000, Sihvo 1989). According to political scientist Vilho Harle, Karelia became the 'cultural Eldorado and Mecca, the land of great poems, myths, and fairy tales ' (2000, 173).…”
