Simultaneously Elsewhere. Imagining Migrancy in Early 20th Century Finnish Literature The article discusses the functions of early 20th century Finnish language fiction on Finnish­American migrancy. The author suggests that fiction depicting migrant life served its contemporary readership as a utopic ”elsewhere” where mobility, gender and agency could be articulated differently from what could be done in literature depicting life in Finland. The argument is developed through readings of three reoccurring tropes articulating migrant subjectivity in fiction: the family (or, rather, its absence), the tramp and the urban housemaid. From a transnational perspective, the article engages with, even if respectfully distances itself from, earlier research on Finnish­American migrant literature with its strong emphasis on reading fiction as representing real­life migrant. Instead, it is proposed that it might be fruitful to approach migrant literature and Finnish literature depicting life in Finland as a diffuse whole, where ideological investments are to an extent bound to locations but not explained causally by them.

The article is devoted to the family life of the Poles in Siberia in the second half of the 19th – early 20th century. The relevance of the research topic is due to the weak study of the history of family life of the Poles in pre-revolutionary Siberia, as well as the importance of the family institution in society. The Poles in Siberia were a specific national-confessional group. Their family life was greatly influenced by the formation of the Polish community in the region, as well as local social and demographic characteristics. The aim of this work is to examine the features of formation of family building and family life of poles in Western Siberia in the second half of the 19th – early of the 20th century, given the social circumstances in the region. The methodological basis of the research is the concept of frontier existence of cultures and the theory of modernization. Exiles who came to Siberia for many years tried to live a full life: they got married, children were born and brought up. The difficulties of life in the harsh region, especially significant for exiles, forced them to look for support, first, in family members and relatives, since family cooperation helped them survive. The demographic characteristics of Polish families during this period were significantly specific in contrast to other national groups. The prevalence of mixed marriages of the Poles with representatives of other Christian denominations in post-reform Siberia indicates the intensity of ethno-cultural interactions. In the resulting ethnic-mixed families, in most cases, a combination of elements of the spiritual culture of various peoples of the region was found. At the same time, religious issues usually receded into the background. Children raised in such families perceived a respectful attitude to their parents’ past, to their origin, and national and religious tolerance was developed in family life.

Original Thinker

Leading writer, publicist, literary critic, and philosopher in late 19th- and early 20th-century Russia, Rozanov was born in Vetluga, Russia, in 1856, and remained in the provinces as a secondary school teacher until 1893, when he gained a civil service post in St. Petersburg, Russia. A prolific and original thinker, Rozanov’s path-breaking ideas on sexuality, religion, and the family made him one of the most controversial figures of his day. Writing at a time when Russian journalism was highly partisan, Rozanov confounded his contemporaries by publishing contradictory views in liberal and conservative journals. Around the turn of the century, Rozanov became preoccupied with the mystical nature of sexuality in ancient pagan and Jewish religious practice.

Readers are invited to the first Russian translation of extracts from the first chap­ter of the sixth part Datong shu(“The Book of the Great Unity”) by Kang Youwei (1858–1927). Kang Youwei proposed an original project for the radical liberation of humanity, in which the traditional mechanisms of family, marriage and gender inequality and coercion will be eliminated, and the state will take care of each person at every stage of his life. Kang Youwei adhered to the view that the main goal of a person's life is to achieve a state of happiness and satisfy all emerging needs. Congenital hedonism is in conflict with the need to reproduce. According to Kang Youwei, the institution of the family was created in ancient times and is the product of violence and suppression. In the future, free partnership will be re­lieved of the burdens of raising and educating future generations.

The 19Th Century

The Vranyczany-Dobrinović family (short: Vranyczany) is an aristocratic family that rose to power in Croatia in the second half of the 19th century. Members of the family possessed five manor houses surrounded by gardens with historicist features from the late 19th and early 20th century. All five are located in the hilly region of Hrvatsko Zagorje, which boasts the highest density of castles and manor houses in Croatia, built in continuity from the 17th until the beginning of the 20th century. The aim is to determine the features of the gardens of the explored castles, on the basis of photographs from the beginning of the 20th century as well as cartographic sources. A wealth of photographic documents from the beginning of the 20th century shows carefully landscaped and kept gardens and parks, with a full life flourishing in them. Vranyczany’s manor houses’ gardens are based on the Biedermeier and romantic tradition of garden culture. Towards the end of the 19th century, many gardeners trained in Vienna, Prague and other Central European cities, lived in Zagreb and the surrounding area. They passed down ideas related to the historicist garden culture and competed in artistic and horticultural gardening.

This chapter discusses modern Hebrew literature – from early 20th-century authors like Haim Nahman Bialik and Shmuel Yosef Agnon to more recent ones, such as Erez Biton and Ronit Matalon – as a ‘migrant literature’, whose history is rooted in a set of shifting physical and cultural geographies and in the circulation of people, ideas and styles from the Diaspora to the Land of Israel and viceversa. By conceiving modern Hebrew literature as a ‘migrant literature’, it is possible to better understand its inner heterogeneity and multilingualism, as well as its being part of a wide landscape of ‘Jewish literatures’ that cuts across Europe, the Middle East and other spaces.

Taxonomic Studies

The fern family Gleicheniaceae was established by Presl (1825: 10) from the order Gleicheneae created by Brown (1810: 160) to accommodate two genera: Platyzoma Brown (1810: 160) and Gleichenia Smith (1793: 419). When the genus Gleichenia was established by Smith (1793), it included only G. polypodioides, but the genus concept was later used in a broader sense to include all Gleicheniaceae species known until the early 20th century (Diels 1900, Christensen 1905). The name proposed by Smith (1793) is a later homonym conserved against Gleichenia Necker (1790: 314) (Dryopteridaceae) (Nomenclature Committees 1954), and Gleichenia Smith is currently used with a narrow circumscription, with about 10 species (PPG I 2016). Nowadays, Gleicheniaceae is divided into six genera, although their monophyly is still questionable (PPG I 2016). The nomenclature of the family still needs attention due to the existence of few papers dealing with this subject as noted by Lima et al. (2018) and Lima & Salino (2018). While conducting taxonomic studies in Gleicheniaceae, we realized that the Linnaean name Onoclea polypodioides Linnaeus (1771: 306), the type species of Gleichenia, was not properly typified, as we explain in the next paragraphs.

Kerstin Eksell: “Elias Khoury the Storywriter”The novel, Ka´annahā nāʾima, As If She Was Sleeping from 2007, is set in Beirut and Nazareth between 1923 and 1948. The Lebanese Milia marries the Palestinian Mansour, and they settle down to daily life in Nazareth, where Milia finally gives birth to a son. Much of the story is told in the form of Milia’s dreams and recapitulates the family history in early 20th century Beirut.The novel is multilayered, mixing high and low registers, and rich in intertextual references. The Christian myth of death and sacrifice functions as a historical allegory of the political tragedy of the modern Arab world, in particular that of Palestine. However, the vitality and strength of Milia – Mary offers an alternative reading of human survival and resurrection, deeply rooted in the oriental potential of mysticism and poetry.

Women of the Kresy. The Female in the Works of Józef Antoni Rolle – from History to Literature and MythThe article offers an analysis of depictions of women in Józef Apolinary Rolle’s literary output. The source material are Rolle’s numerous short stories published in a number of collections and series in 1872-1894, including a collection entitled Women of the Kresy. In his works Rolle created the myth of woman of the eastern territories of interwar Poland (Kresy Wschodnie), a courageous amazon, a female warrior, by sketching portraits of historical €gures of the 16th and 17th centuries. In the short story entitled Women in Kamianets under Turkish Siege (1672) the author expressed this myth in a collective portrait of women of different nationalities and faiths who defended the fortress of Kamianets Podil’skij against the Turks. In other works Rolle depicted women engaged in politics and struggling to strengthen their family’s position. The latter attitude became dominant in the 18th century, when women were no longer directly engaged in warfare. The women described by Rolle enjoy considerable individual freedom, which provides thems with more opportunities (including the freedom to choose a husband and the freedom to divorce) compared to their compatriots in the Polish west. Women who lived in partitioned Poland in the 19th century were depicted by Rolle as ones who were responsible for the family, and for the transmission of family traditions, which €fits in with the myth of the Polish Mother. More broadly, the image of women of the Kresy €fits in with the myth of the region itself. This tradition was continued and developed in the early 20th century by the author’s son, the historian and publicist, Michał Rolle, among others.
