Och alla ting som finns i världen väntar på att jag ska börja skriva böcker om dem.
En far dör oväntat. En dotter i medelåldern lämnas kvar. I tomrummet som uppstår börjar hon om sin barndoms 50-tal i arbetarklassens Sovjettillvända Helsingfors, om staden som vecklar ut sig i drömmar och färger.
Om en envis liten flicka som inte är som alla andra. Som vill ha en grön keps, vara en av pojkarna. Flickan börjar se sig själv i tredje person; hon blir en skrivande människa. Det är en konstnärs blick som föds.
Det minsta gemensamma gavs ut på finska 1998 och blev Pirkko Saisios stora genombrott. Tillsammans med Motljus och Den röda separationsboken utgör de Helsingforstrilogin. Den hyllade autofiktiva bokserien lyftes fram som finländarnas favoritböcker i Helsingin Sanomat i december 2024, och utkommer hösten 2025 även i serien Penguin Classics. Boken utkommer i svensk översättning av Henrika Ringbom.

Pirkko har tagit studenten och hon kan inte bestämma vad hon hatar mest, om det är Gud, Marx, sin pappa eller sina växande bröst. Det är ungdom under tidigt 60-tal när hon försöker navigera fram till sin sexuella, politiska och andliga identitet.
Farfar har flyttat in i det rum som skulle ha blivit Pirkkos och mamma, som mest jobbar, försöker hålla fast vid husfriden. Men när Pirkko den historiska sommaren 1968, precis som i Sound of Music, åker för att jobba på ett barnhem i Schweiz, finner hon sig full av hemlängtan. Inget tycks bli som hon trott. En dag säger en lärare att Pirkko kanske kan ha vad som krävs för att bli författare. Det förändrar allt att hon har blivit sedd.
Pirkko Saisios Helsingforstrilogi är en internationellt erkänd, autofiktiv romansvit med en stark fläkt från svunna tider. I arbetarklassens kvarter växer en egensinnig konstnär upp.
Seriens första del, Det minsta gemensamma, har fått ett rungande gott mottagande också på svenska, och uppföljaren Motljus blev Finlandianominerad då den utgavs på finska år 2000. Saisio översätts av Henrika Ringbom.

Mer än vart tionde barn i Sverige har ett annat modersmål än svenska. Hur bedömer man två- eller flerspråkiga elevers kunskap och kompetens?
I Tankarna springer före presenterar författarna en heltäckande bedömningsmall som kan användas för att beskriva språkbehärskningen hos andra andraspråksinlärare - såväl barn som vuxna. Aktuell och teoretisk kunskap om andraspråksinlärning beskrivs utförligt. Här poängteras vikten av en enhetlig syn på språkutveckling från förskolan till gymnasiet och vuxenundervisningen - språkbehärskning ska ses som en process, inte som en produkt.
Med hjälp av så kallade performansanalyser kan pedagoger få en allsidig bild av elevens språkliga kompetens. Flera praktiska exempel tas upp som i detalj visar hur performansanalyser kan användas av pedagoger. Andra metoder för uppföljning av språkutvecklingen presenteras också.
Texterna riktar sig främst till dem som arbetar med flerspråkiga elevers språkutveckling och som därför behöver göra olika språkliga bedömningar. De vänder sig även till alla pedagoger som delar ansvaret för elevernas språkutveckling och behöver öka sin kunskap om andraspråkselevernas språkliga förutsättningar och behov.
Om författarnaI boken medverkar nio lärare och lärarutbildare i svenska som andraspråk: Tua Abrahamsson, Susanne Benckert, Pirkko Bergman, Olle Fritzell, Catarina Littman, Mikael Olofsson, Carin Rosander, Mariana Sellgren, och Lena Sjöqvist. Redaktörer för boken är Tua Abrahamsson och Pirkko Bergman.

Deeply moving and disarmingly funny, Lowest Common Denominator is the first volume in a trilogy that has been celebrated in Finland as the best work of the century.

This book is the first comprehensive study of the music and career of contemporary composer Kaija Saariaho. Born in Finland in 1952, Saariaho received her early musical training at the Sibelius Academy, where her close circle included composer and conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen. She has since become internationally known and recognized for her operas L'amour de loin and Adriana Mater and other works that involve electronic music. Her influences include the spectral analysis of timbre, especially string sounds, micropolyphonic techniques, the visual and literary arts, and sounds in the natural world. Pirkko Moisala approaches the unique characteristics of Saariaho's music through composition sketches, scores, critical reviews, and interviews with the composer and her trusted musicians. Drawing extensively from this material, Moisala describes the development of Saariaho's career and international reception, the characteristics of her musical expression, and the progression of her compositional process.

Through the experiences of performers, composers, and ethnomusicologists working in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and North America, Music and Gender explores how the uses and descriptions of music shift in response to rapid political, economic, or technological change. A cross-section of case studies from the Central African Republic, Finland, and Turkey addresses issues of how performance reflects gender and furthers other social goals, such as negotiating identity and transforming consciousness. Articles on Croatian and Serbian popular music and on the changing circumstances of women musicians in war-torn Ethiopia and post-Soviet Estonia consider the fate of fragile constructions of gender and nationhood in times of war or crisis. Other essays consider the relationship of gender to digital sound technology--in terms of access to the field, interactions among musicians, and aesthetic decisions--and gender issues in writing the musical lives of women composers and performers. Articulating a theoretical agenda that encompasses perspectives from vastly different musical cultures, this important collection shows how music can help bridge the radical transformations of individuals, groups, and nations.

This book addresses the change of social work in the frame of modernisation. Through Mary Richmond’s classical idea of social work, the book seeks to set current societal trends affecting social work into the context of a long historical line, opening spaces for the new debates within the social work discipline as well as proposing and taking some new directions in the current era of compressed modernity. From the viewpoint of social work, there still is an individual in a situation, however, the situation has profoundly changed during the past hundred years.Divided into seven chapters, topics covered include, firstly, the rethinking of Richmond’s original idea, revisiting the modernisation theories and social transformations as well as discussion on the social work theories and mandates according to the chosen classics. Secondly, the book continues with sketching the pillars of compressed modernity and rethinking the global and local relations. During the era of glocalisation, polycentrism, digitalisation and hybridisation, the previous conceptualisations of social theory have to be reconsidered. Finally, a proposal for glocal social work vision is represented by setting questions which should be taken under scrutinity.Academics, researchers, practising social workers and students of social work, as well as of social policy, administration, social law and other social sciences, will find this book to be an essential text for understanding the current societal changes, trends and tendencies. The book provides a lot of information for policymakers and citizens interested in the background knowledge for the contemporary societal situation.

This volume examines Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy as it relates to the study of the physically active body. It explores theoretical and practical examples of how the physically active body can be examined as a material, social, political, and cultural entity using a Deleuzian perspective.Examining topics such as, the formation of thought within a capitalist system; sport, exercise, and dance as cultural arrangements; researching the physically active body from a Deleuzian perspective; and Deleuze on Foucault, this book shows ways of investigating the moving body as an agent for initiating social change.This is fascinating reading for students and researchers working in the fields of the Sociology of Sport, Sport and Politics, and Sport and Social Theory.

Exercise for women is a heavily-laden social and embodied experience. While exercise promotion has become an increasingly visible part of health campaigns, obesity among women is rising, and studies indicate that women are generally less physically active than men. Women’s (lack of) exercise, therefore, has become a public concern, and physiological and psychological research has attempted to develop more effective exercise programs aimed at women. Yet women have a complex relationship with embodiment and physical activity that is difficult for quantitative scientific approaches to explore. This book addresses this neglect by providing a much-needed feminist, qualitative social analysis of women and exercise. The contributors, drawn from across Europe and North America, investigate the ways women experience exercise within the context of the global fitness industry. All the authors take a specifically feminist perspective in their analysis of the fit, feminine body, exploring media images and the global branding of fitness products, the relationship between exercise and fat, the construction of physical activity within health discourse, and the lived experience of the exercising body. The collection explores the diversity of women’s experiences of exercise in relation to age, ethnicity and body size. The book is essential for anyone interested in health promotion, sport and exercise or the social and cultural study of gender and embodiment.
