Pertti Anttonen
Pertti Anttonen received his doctorate from the University
of Pennsylvania, USA. He is a docent in folkloristics
at both Helsinki and Turku Universities, as well as docent
in ethnology at the University of Jyväskylä. During
1991–5 he worked as a research secretary of the Nordic
Institute of Folklore, and in 1996–7 as an acting assistant
professor of folkloristics at Helsinki University. Thereafter
he was appointed a researcher fellow in the project
Folklore, Heritage Politics and Ethnic Diversity.
Later he
worked for four years as a researcher at the Academy
of Finland. Anttonen worked as a professor at the department
of folkloristics in Turku University from 2004
to 2006, and then as a professor in the department of
ethnology in the University of Jyväskylä.
Now,he is working as an acting professor of
folklore studies at the University of Helsinki. He has recently
published a monograph entitled Tradition through
Modernity: Postmodernism and the Nation-State in Folklore
Scholarship. Perinne ja argumentaatio (‘Tradition and
Argumentation’) is a consideration of the same subject
matter. Both of these studies consider the production of
modernity and view folklore as social and political discourse.
His forthcoming book deals with the historical
and political significance of St Henry, the man assumed
to have been the first bishop of Finland. Anttonen has
also drawn upon ethnopoetic analysis in his studies of
Ingrian wedding rituals.
