The dream of two lives beyond the chat... Esmeralda and Paolo are the protagonists in the carousel of a virtual world. Online connection is an essential vital call. They receive texts messages and they feel attracted; an incomprehensible need that binds them with a double slip knot. They steal a glance at their profiles, they’re shaped by their thoughts, their emotions; they provoke one another on the web, in the silence of the chat. A force of gravity that carries them away beyond any awareness. It’s a whim that gets into their minds, a vortex where they find their forbidden fruit: the web. An online call, a necessity of life. Esmeralda and Paolo play and enjoy their virtual connection. A vagabond chat that attracts them. Thus, they fill doubts, empty spaces and the insecurities of their past. It’s an odd thing, but they can’t give up to those silent messages that beautify their life. The virtual experience becomes their fairytale and now they want to embra embrace. Embrace it... Embrace it...

W. G. Sebald meets Maggie Nelson in an autobiographical narrative of embodiment, visual art, history, and loss. How do the bodies we inhabit affect our relationship with art? How does art affect our relationship to our bodies? T Fleischmann uses Felix Gonzáles-Torres’s artworks—piles of candy, stacks of paper, puzzles—as a path through questions of love and loss, violence and rejuvenation, gender and sexuality. From the back porches of Buffalo, to the galleries of New York and L.A., to farmhouses of rural Tennessee, the artworks act as still points, sites for reflection situated in lived experience. Fleischmann combines serious engagement with warmth and clarity of prose, reveling in the experiences and pleasures of art and the body, identity and community.

The West has always been a resource for the Finns. Scholars, artists and other professionals have sought contacts from Europe throughout the centuries. The Finnish experience in Western Europe and the New World is a story of migrant laborers, expatriates and specialists working abroad. But you don’t have to be born in Finland to be a Finn. The experiences of second-generation Finnish immigrants and their descendants open up new possibilities for understanding the relationship between Finland and the West. The Finnish passage westward has not always crossed national borders. Karelian evacuees headed west, as did young people from the Finnish countryside when opportunities to make a living in agriculture and forestry diminished in the post-war era. The legacy of these migrants is still visible in the suburbs of Finnish cities today. This book is a joint effort of the Department of Ethnology and the Department of History at the University of Helsinki. It was written by Ph. D. students supervised by Academy Research Fellows Maria Lähteenmäki and Hanna Snellman, in collaboration with colleagues abroad interested in current research in ethnology and history.
