Extended Families as Communities of Religious Experience in Late Seventeenth-Century Eastern Finland
2022
AbstractThis chapter offers an interpretation of extended families as communities of experience in a rural area close to the eastern border of the Swedish realm. Through a case study of lower court records, Kuha examines the social and religious life in a 17th-century farm culminating in the crisis of an extended family. The chapter explores how practices of lived religion shaped the relationship of the community and the individual, and how experiences were negotiated within families and local communities. The analysis highlights the importance of protecting the boundaries of the household as well as the meaning of religious practices in creating cohesion within the community.
"Jumalan sanan ylenkatsojat" : rahvaan kirkossakäynti Savossa vuosina 1660–1710
2012
1600-luku on perinteisesti tunnettu luterilaisen puhdasoppisuuden aikana, jolloin kirkko ja kruunu kontrolloivat tiukasti Ruotsin valtakunnan alamaisten käyttäytymistä ja ajattelua. Papiston mahdollisuudet ylläpitää kirkkokuria olivat kuitenkin rajalliset harvaan asutuilla syrjäseuduilla, kuten Savon maakunnassa. Artikkelissa käsitellään savolaisen rahvaan kirkossakäyntiä sekä poissaoloja kirkosta 1600-luvun lopulla ja 1700-luvun alussa. Piispan- ja rovastintarkastuspöytäkirjojen avulla selvitetään, miksi poissaolot olivat yleisiä, vaikka kirkossakäynnin laiminlyönnistä seurasi rangaistus. Toisaalta pohditaan sitä, miksi seurakuntalaiset tulivat kirkkoon tärkeinä pyhäpäivinä suurin joukoin …

Religious participation in the local communities of 17th-century Eastern Finland
2022
In recent years, the perspective of lived religion has drawn attention toward the everyday religious practices of the laity. In early-modern Europe, the realm of the sacred could be approached in different ways from within the mundane world, and religious practices were tightly intertwined with social life. In local communities, religious ideas and practices taught by the church in varying ways intermingled with traits from local religious traditions. This article examines the different ways of religious participation available to the rural inhabitants of late 17th century Eastern Finland, a part of the kingdom of Sweden during the early modern era. Applying the concept and approach of live…

Popular Religion in the Periphery. Church Attendance in 17th Century Eastern Finland
2015
Abstract On the fringes of post-Reformation Europe, church and state authorities faced problems in enforcing church attendance. In the Swedish kingdom, religious uniformity was seen as vital for the success of the state after the Lutheran confession had been established, and absences from church were punishable by law. The seventeenth century saw significant tightening of legislation relating to church absences and other breaches of the Sabbath, and severe punishments were introduced. Despite considerable deterrents, it was sometimes difficult to control local inhabitants: absence cases were regularly brought before the local courts in Eastern Finland, where authorities were hampered by a c…
Pyhäpäivien vietto varhaismodernin ajan Savossa (vuoteen 1710)
2016
In this dissertation, I study the observance of holy days among the peasantry in the early modern province of Savo, located on the eastern periphery of the Swedish kingdom (today Eastern Finland). I examine the practices, norms and meanings related to the observance of holy days both within and outside the Church, and analyse the changes and continuities in the post-reformation period. As the main sources of the study, I use district court records and visitation records mainly from the period 1639–1712. I analyse the cases with a micro-historical perspective and an anthropological approach. The lived religion of the peasantry was constituted especially through practices that were connected …
