Ability to Measure and Count in Aleksis Kivi’s Seven Brothers

2021

The illiterate brothers’ elementary ability to measure and count fluently is a striking feature in the Finnish author Aleksis Kivi’s Seven Brothers (Seitsemän veljestä, 1870), a novel that was published before the metric system was introduced in Finland. The seven main characters describe their everyday life and environment and make work- related decisions using numbers, amounts, and measures of distance, area, volume, and weight without hesitation. They are also familiar with some elementary calculations. At the same time, their inability to read arouses desperate anguish in them. I analyze the ways the brothers use numbers and measurements, and the importance of these skills in their life…

Modernség, progresszió, Ady Endre és az Ady-Rákosi vita : egy konfliktusos eszmetörténeti pozíció természete és következményei

2008

  This work can be placed on the borderline of literary history and the history of ideas. It aims to position the famous Hungarian poet of the early 20th century, Endre Ady, on the intellectual map of his age, and to point out his place within the relationships of literary modernity and intellectual-social progressivism; it describes the fixation, form and temporal change of the poet's unique position, and shows the human and intellectual consequences of this position, as it relates to a dispute which lasted for half a year, and only seemingly was of a literary nature. The work consists of three major parts. The first is an overview of the mainly intellectual-ideological aspect of the more …

Jäljet sanoissa : jälkistrukturalistisen kirjallisuuskäsityksen tulo 1980-luvun Suomeen

Measures of the Massive Mountain in Aleksis Kivi’s Play Kullervo

2022

The story of a prisoner inside an enormous steel mountain is embedded in Kullervo, an early Finnish tragedy by 19th-century author Aleksis Kivi. I focus here on the exceptional size of the mountain, as told by the main character, Kullervo. Although the embedded story has aroused admiration in research, the mountain’s size and form do not appear to have done so. If taken literally, and assuming the shape of a double pyramid, at a minimum, the mountain’s surface area would be between that of Earth and Uranus, a planet that Kivi was somehow aware of. The mountain’s maximum surface area and volume would greatly exceed that of the Sun. This mountain cannot be localized in the near environment of…
