Projekti: Tutkimusprojekti

Projektin yksityiskohdat

Kuvaus (abstrakti)

The project focuses on the boundaries between and within classes in 19th century Finland. The perspective from below indicates that the emphasis is on non-privileged people, their experiences, writing practices and points of view. By expressing, challenging and contesting social boundaries in their texts, self-taught writers found a way to engage in the processes through which the Finnish society moved from the hierarchical estate system towards a civic society.
