It concentrates on Franz Liszt and his affective gravitation, especially on his relationship with the active, often fanatic audience who participated in the performances and was ready to express openly its emotions. Heinrich Heine coined the term “Lisztomania” to describe the hysterical relationship of the audience towards the famous virtuoso. In many contemporary reviews Liszt’s emotional contagiousness and those mysterious powers that drew people towards him were intensively discussed. The chapter analyzes the materiality of emotions both from the perspective of the emotionality of the audience but also by focusing on how Liszt was interpreted as a generator of emotionality, as an assemblage of human and non-human forces. The chapter draws on a wide array of contemporary sources, newspapers and journals, images, letters and memoirs.

A synthesis of how the new cultural history has transformed the study of history, the volume is divided into three parts – medieval, early modern and modern – that emphasize the way people made sense of the world around them. Contributions cover such themes as material cultures of living, mobility and transport, cultural exchange and transfer, power and conflict, emotion and communication, and the history of the senses. The focus is on the Western world, but the notion of the West is a flexible one. In bringing together 36 authors from 15 countries, the book takes a wide geographical coverage, devoting continuous attention to global connections and the emerging trend of globalization. It builds a panorama of the transformation of Western identities, and the critical ramifications of that evolution from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century, that offers the reader a wide-ranging illustration of the potentials of cultural history as a way of studying the past in a variety of times, spaces and aspects of human experience.
Engaging with historiographical debate and covering a vast range of themes, periods and places, The Routledge Companion to Cultural History in the Western World is the ideal resource for cultural history students and scholars to understand and advance this dynamic field.
Popular print culture has traditionally been studied with a national focus. Recent research has revealed, however, that popular print culture has many European dimensions and shared features. A group of specialists in the field has started to explore the possibilities and challenges of research on a wide, European scale. This volume contains the first overview and analysis of the different approaches, methodologies and sources that will stimulate and facilitate future comparative research.
This volume first addresses the benefits of a media-driven approach, focussing on processes of content recycling, interactions between text and image, processes of production and consumption. A second perspective illuminates the distribution and markets for popular print, discussing audiences, prices and collections. A third dimension refers to the transnational dimensions of genres, stories, and narratives. A last perspective unravels the communicative strategies and dynamics behind European bestsellers.
This book is a source of inspiration for everyone who is interested in research into transnational cultural exchange and in the fascinating history of popular print culture in Europe.
The chapters of this volume concentrate on the following themes: What were the sites of culture, civilization and Bildung and how were these sites employed in defining these concepts? What kind of borders did this process of definition and its inherent spatial imagination produce? What were the connecting routes between the supposed centers and peripheries? What were the strategies of envisioning, negotiating and transforming cultural territories in early nineteenth-century Europe?
This book adds new perspectives on ways of approaching spatiality in history by investigating, for example: the decisive role of the French revolution, the persistent interest in classical civilization and its sites, emerging urbanism and the culture of the cities, the changing constellations between centers and peripheries and the colonial extensions, or transfigurations, of culture. It also pays attention to the spatiality of culture as a metaphor, but simultaneously emphasizes the production of space in an era of technological innovation and change.
The book attempts to see the culture of the nineteenth century in broad terms, integrating everyday ways of life into the story as mental, material and social practices. It also highlights ways of thinking, mentalities and emotions in order to construct a picture of this period of another kind, that goes beyond a story of "isms" or intellectual and artistic movements.
Although the nineteenth century has often been described as a century of rising factory pipes and grey industrial cities, as a cradle of modern culture, the era has many faces. This book pays special attention to the experiences of contemporaries, from the fear for steaming engines to the longing for the pre-industrial past, from the idle calmness of bourgeois life to the awakening consumerism of the department stores, from curious exoticism to increasing xenophobia, from optimistic visions of future to the expectations of an approaching end. The century that is only a few generations away from us is strange and familiar at the same time -- a bygone world that has in many ways influenced our present day world.
"This concise but wide-ranging essay on the cultural history of nineteenth-century Europe is lucid, fluent, and written in an attractive, personal way, illustrating many arguments from well-known works of literature. The author's recurrent use of Finnish examples offers something new to readers from other parts of Europe." -- Peter Burke, University of Cambridge
"Hannu Salmi's ambitious, brilliantly synthesized book on the innumerable cultural histories that constitute nineteenth-century Europe is to be recommended to specialists and non-specialists alike. Above all, its cosmopolitanism, and its vital attention to everyday lives as well as to the world-historical events that ultimately motivate them, make it an indispensable, and highly readable, introduction to this important field of scholarship." -- Matthew Beaumont, University College, London
"This book is a thoughtful, well written and clear alternative to the standard textbook treatment of nineteenth century Europe. Unified in its vision, instead of the grand political narrative, it offers a rich survey of the perceptions and meanings that Europeans developed to make sense of a changing world. Salmi uses popular fiction of the day particularly well to illustrate his themes of modernization and its attendant anxieties." -- Lenard R. Berlanstein, University of Virginia

"Wagner's connections with Scandinavia and the Baltic countries are more far-reaching than generally supposed, and Hannu Salmi's exhaustively researched study throws fascinating light on the contemporary reception of his works and ideas in that part of the world.
--Barry Millington, Wagner Scholar and author of Wagner, editor of The Wagner Compendium, and co-editor of Selected Letters of Richard Wagner
"Hannu Salmi adds significantly to our knowledge, . . . [using] material in languages inaccessible to most readers, and with attention to [Wagner's] effect on domestic music-making and his impact in the opera house. A wide-ranging and highly readable book that fills a genuine gap in Wagner studies, and does so with distinction."
--Dr. John Warrack, University of Oxford and author of German Opera from the Beginnings to Wagner
"Salmi lays forever to rest the myth, propagated by some of Wagner's older apologists and by many of his more recent critics, that there existed a communality of interests between Wagner and Bismarck, as well as between the new 'Reich' and the Wagnerian cultural enterprise. Salmi shows, more clearly than anyone has done thus far, how Wagner at first styled himself as the 'most German of Germans' only to realize, in the end, that he had been crucified 'am Kreuz des deutschen Gedankens'." -- Hans Rudolf Vaget, Smith College
"Salmi makes an important contribution to our understanding of one of the most fascinating artistic figures in German politics and culture, particularly his political role." -- Michael Meyer, California State University, Northridge

Kahvin keittäminen ja nauttiminen ovat olennainen osa suomalaista arkea. Toisen maailmansodan jälkeen kahvin valmistaminen suodattamalla yleistyi vuosikymmen vuosikymmeneltä, ja myös automaattiset kahvinkeittimet tulivat kuluttajamarkkinoille 1950-luvulla. Artikkeli tutkii kotien modernisaatiota kahvin valmistamisen näkökulmasta 1950-luvun alusta 1970-luvun loppuun; siihen mennessä pannukahvin kulutus oli Suomessa voimakkaasti laskenut. Artikkeli pohjautuu sanoma- ja aikakauslehdistössä julkaistuihin kahvin, suodattimien ja kahvinkeittimien mainoksiin ja kahvia käsitteleviin artikkeleihin sekä analysoi Kansalliskirjaston digitoitujen lehtien kokoelmaa määrällisesti ja laadullisesti kahvinjuonnin näkökulmasta.

These are the pp files of my keynote at the History of Emotions in Finland seminar at the University of Tampere on 31 October 2016. It aimed at drafting the outline of Finnish history of emotions, mainly from the 1980s to the 2000s, and also on my present projects.
