Second Volume of the COLLeGIUM Open Access Series Published

■ With around fifty Fellows and

almost four hundred applications

received this fall from all over

the world, Helsinki Collegium for

Advanced Studies is certainly the

leading institute for advanced

study in Finland and one of the

most prominent institutions of its

kind in Europe. We do not expect

any serious challenges to threaten

our unique position in the near

future. On the contrary, there are

many reasons for an optimistic

outlook that our success will con-

tinue in the future as well.

But we shall not be alone, even

in this country. Tampere already

has its own UTACAS (University

of Tampere Centre for Advanced

Study), and we have heard that

plans are being made at all major

■ The second volume of the COLLeGIUM: Studies

Across Disciplines in the Humanities and Social

Sciences was launched in June 2007. This volume

of the series, edited by Anu Korhonen and Kate

Lowe, is entitled The Trouble with Ribs: Women,

Men and Gender in Early Modern Europe.

Several other volumes are in preparation. All

studies published in the series are internationally

refereed.

Director’s Greeting

there are environments that are

only regulated by the inner logic

of scholarly work. The institutes

for advanced study can, however,

simultaneously be extremely use-

ful and productive through their

capacity to challenge the current

theoretical and disciplinary under-

standings in research and promote

self-reflective attitudes in society

in general.

Finnish universities to establish

something similar. The respon-

sible decision-makers hopefully

understand that an institute for

advanced study cannot be founded

on mere benevolence and wishful

thinking; adequate resources are

also needed. We wish all the best

for these plans, and we are very

much looking forward to seeing

new partners emerge and coop-

erate with us in the promotion of

our common goals.

It is good to hear that uni-

versities seem to have recognized

why the institutes for advanced

study are so important for their

success. In an age when academic

research has to answer to growing

demands on practical impact and

productivity, it is important that

Workshop on the Freedom of Conscience

Stimulating cooperation with Professor Martha Nussbaum,

Permanent Visiting Fellow of the Helsinki Collegium for

Advanced Studies, continued in June 2007, when we organized a

workshop on the Freedom of Conscience consisting in Professor

Nussbaum’s lecture and a seminar at which several Collegium

Fellows presented short papers related to the topic, followed by

Professor Nussbaum’s comments.

Professor Nussbaum argued in her

lecture that equal respect for citi-

zens is the bedrock of American free-

dom. The Founders of the future

United States overcame intolerance

and hatred in favor of a constitutional

order dedicated to fair treatment

for people's conscientious beliefs:

Freedom of conscience became a

right. This respect for religious dif-

ference formed the bedrock of the

American nation: it made equality

possible. Yet today there are signs

that this legacy is misunderstood.

The prominence of a particular type

of Christianity in American public

life suggests that Christianity should

be what defines the Americans as a

nation. Nothing, Nussbaum insists,

could be further from the Founding

Fathers' objectives.

The lecture was followed with

three seminar sessions, dedicated

to (1) religion and globalization, (2)

philosophical issues related to the

freedom of conscience, and (3) his-

torical topics. Susanne Dahlgren,

Sara Heinämaa, Jukka Kekkonen,

Oleg Kharkhordin, Petter Korkman,

Virpi Mäkinen, Mika Ojakangas,

Heikki Patomäki, Tamar Rapoport,

Juha Sihvola and Miira Tuominen

gave their contributions to the sem-

inar from various viewpoints. Still,

much was left unspoken, and there-

fore cooperation will continue and

be expanded into a weeklong semi-

nar and workshop in 2008.

Martha Nussbaum is one of the

most distinguished philosophers

of our time. She holds appoint-

ments in the Law School, Divinity

School, and Philosophy Department

at the University of Chicago and is

a Board Member in the University's

Human Rights Program. She is the

author of thirteen books, including

The Fragility of Goodness (1986), The

Therapy of Desire (1994), Women and

Human Development (2000), Upheavals

of Thought (2001), and Frontiers of

Justice (2006). She holds twenty-

seven honorary degrees from uni-

versities around the world, includ-

ing Academician at the Academy

of Finland. Professor Nussbaum has

been cooperating with Finnish phi-

losophers for a long time, and thus

she has greatly promoted scholar-

ship in ancient philosophy and fem-

inist studies as well as moral and

political philosophy in Finland.

The Middle East in the Collegium

The Seventh Nordic Middle Eastern studies

conference gathered at the University

of Helsinki on September 21-23, 2007. This

was the biggest Nordic conference so far

and even though participants reached the

unforeseen number of 130, the Collegium

premises served well for the purposes of

lively debate and high quality presentations

in its 19 panels and roundtables.

The conference was opened by

Prof. Björn Olav Utvik, who

served as the chairman of the Nordic

Society for Middle Eastern Studies

until this conference. In his open-

ing words, he noted that Finland is

not one of the leading countries in

Middle Eastern Studies. However, this

Helsinki event did outnumber all pre-

vious events held since 1989 (Uppsala,

Copenhagen [twice], Joensuu, Oslo

and Lund) in both the overall attend-

ance and number of speakers.

Prof. Yvonne Haddad, Prof. Asef

Bayat and Prof. Jaakko Hämeen-

Anttila participated as keynote

speakers. Haddad, who is the profes-

sor of History of Islam and Christian-

Muslim Relations at Georgetown

University, addressed the challenges

of pluralism faced by Islam in the age

of globalization. The question of plu-

ralism is particularly tedious in Islam

which bases its creed on the princi-

ple of tawhid (the oneness of God)

with such current political byprod-

ucts as the demand of Muslim unity

and renown for his studies on Iran and

Egypt. In his keynote lecture, Bayat

addressed the agency of nonelites in

promoting change in the Middle East,

while earlier studies have focused on

elites and inspirations coming from

outside the area. The third keynote

speaker, Jaakko Hämeen-Anttila, Prof.

of Arabic and Islamic Studies at the

University of Helsinki, discussed diver-

sity in the Middle East from the per-

spective of plurality in the medieval

Islamic empire.

The Seventh Nordic conference

discussed in its panels, among other

issues, questions of minorities, neo-

Orientalism, reform movements, eve-

ryday religiosities, secularism, reli-

gious diversity, Sufism, media, Islamic

law, fundamentalism, Mika Waltari's

Sinuhe, migration, poetry, visual rep-

resentations, cultural dialogue, ter-

rorism and various aspects of politics

and economy in the ancient, medieval

and current Middle East. Roundtables

included a unique presentation of

Karaite studies in Finland.

http://www.helsinki.fi/project/ncmes2007/home.html

both in lifestyle and intellectual life.

This principle has served as a doctri-

nal basis for refuting such Muslim

feminist intellectuals' thoughts as

Amina Wadud.

Haddad viewed discussions in

the Arab World that create Islamist

affirmations of Islam as a response

to global discourses on human rights.

According to her, the process of

re-Islamisation, i.e. the demand for

public Islamic identity throughout the

globe, has only increased since 9/11.

Reasons for such a unification process

should thus not be seen exclusively

within the Muslim world, she assessed.

In the second part of her keynote

talk, Haddad assessed the works of

Muslim intellectuals living in the West

who are engaging with the question

of tolerance towards other religious

preferences.

Prof. Asef Bayat is the Director

of the International Institute for the

Study of Islam in the Modern World,

located in Leiden. He is a specialist of

social movements in the Middle East

T he Collegium houses several visitors per year. Visitors enrich the

Collegium's academic and social life and are integral to forming

collaborations beyond the Collegium and Finland. The length of time that the

visitors spend at the Collegium varies from a few days to a whole academic

year. Short-term visitors often come to participate in a symposium, colloquium

or conference organised by the Collegium or in co-operation with its partners.

These visitors are approved by the Collegium's Visitors Committee based on

Fellows' proposals and, as a part of their visit, they often give lectures outside

the symposium/conference programme. Long-term visits are arranged by the

Director, although the initiative to invite a person to the Collegium may come

from various sources within Finnish academia, including our own Fellows.

During their visits, long-term visitors concentrate on their research, participate

in Collegium activities and give lectures. Due to the large number of short-

term visitors to the Collegium every year, we will list here only the long-term

visitors during the 2007–2008 academic year:

The Collegium lecture series

on SolidaritycontinuesIn the academic year 2007-2008 the Helsinki Collegium

for Advanced Studies is organising a Studia Collegialia

lecture series in Finnish on the topic “Solidaarisuus!

-Ahneuden aika? Solidaarisuus eilen ja tänään” [Solidarity

in a Time of Greed? Solidarity Past and Present].

The lecture series will paint a multi-faceted picture of

solidarity from historical times to the present, from

philosophical thoughts to the practices of everyday

life. The questions addressed concern what solidarity

is, what its historical connections to ‘brotherhood and

revolution’ are and what it means in today’s world.

The lecture series will also deal with issues concerning

solidarity as the core element in the welfare society and

social insurance and, on the other hand, in the world of

organ transplants.

The final session of the series will be a panel discussion on

“Competitive Society and Solidarity”, which will feature

influential speakers from all areas of Finnish society.
