Tavoitteena vahva ja yhtenäinen kansa : historia ja kieli kansallisen identiteetin rakentamisen välineinä Pätsin aikakauden Virossa 1934-1940
2018
In this dissertation, I study national campaigns aimed at constructing Estonian national identity in 1934–1940.

The name changing campaign had history political and language political dimensions. Through the folk art campaign, the state tried to af…
Hearing Voices in Dreams: Freud's Tossing and Turning with Speech and Writing
2002

Symbol, Munch and creativity: metabolism of visual symbols
2010

The first part of the work focuses on the concept of symbol, the second part on the imagery of Edvard Munch (1863–1944), and the third part on creative thinking. The problematics of visual symbols is approached through the concept of metabolism by assuming that both perceivable and non-perceivable properties of symbols can transform when symbols are used. Because visual symbols are frequently understood as conventional signs with fixed meanings, their perceivable properties are easily ignored. However, symbols can also be unconventionally used, for e…
