New number of Ethnologia Fennica

Tidskriftsnummer, ,

Vol. 49 No 1 of Ethnologia Fennica is out now and can be read here.

”The theme of this Ethnologia Fennica 2022 issue (vol. 49:1) is the shaping and representing of individual lives and memories in the context of heritage and heritagisation. Today, heritage and cultural institutions such as museums and archives are well aware of their social and political role and strive to increase ecological, cultural, and social sustainability. Therefore, they constantly seek more democratic practices with respect to how people and communities are represented and by whom. One way of achieving these objectives is to increase the use of oral history and life writings in public history activities.

In our themed call “Heritage and Personal Memories” we asked for articles discussing various ways of using oral history and personal memories in public history activities and participatory processes. We were interested in how applied ethnographic work and ethnological research affect these activities.”

Nadine T. Fernandez is a professor in Cultural Anthropology at State University of New York, Empire State College. Her research investigates gender, race, sexuality and couple relationships in relation to transnational mobility, tourism and national migration policy. The book Revolutionizing Romance (2010) analyzes younger ”interracial couples” in 1990s post-Soviet Cuba. Intimate Mobilities: Sexual Economies, Marriage and Migration in a Disparate World (2018), which Fernandez co-edited with Christian Groes (Roskilde University, Denmark), deals with transnational mobility and couple relationships across national borders. Fernandez’s own contribution to the book is about Cuban men in Scandinavia. She is involved in a European project at the intersection of migration, heritage and tourism, called Migrantours. And she is also working on a book project on gender in a global perspective, how gender and gender issues must be contextualized and understood in relation to specific places.
