Editor's Note:
This dissertation argues that Finnish popular culture has become an important forum for the pluralized reconfiguration of a key signifier of Finnish identity: masculinity. In just twenty-odd years, genres like detective fiction, autobiography, action cinema and reality television have become popular, and they introduce representations that revise definitions of masculinity associated with the iconic Finnish laborer and soldier.;My argument draws on cultural studies and gender theories to discuss the crisis of Finnish masculinity not only as a result of changing social relations and the proliferation of model narratives of the self, but more essentially of our increasing visibility to each other in a mass-mediated society. I understand this visibility in two ways. First, autobiographical and confessional narratives stage subjectivity as fragmented and relational and in so doing undermine the notion of a private, self-contained and independent masculine subject. These are key elements in my first two chapters on Leena Lehtolainen's crime fiction and Kari Hotakainen's Finlandia prize-winning bestseller Juoksuhaudantie (Trench Road. 2002). Second, the intensified focus on male bodies in the visual media breaks the prohibition on the male body as the object of the gaze and is central to my chapters on the film Pahat Pojat (Bad Boys, 2003) and the Dudesons' extreme stunt comedy in their film The Dudesons Movie, 2006. While identity is revealed to be a life-long project that requires labor and continuous self-interrogation, I also argue that masculinity continues to be re-centered as the hegemonic signifier of privilege and power attached unambiguously to men.;This dissertation offers a unique contribution to Scandinavian studies by highlighting the important role that popular culture plays in the everyday reformulation of masculinities in contemporary Finland, and by analyzing the wider cultural context in which these books and films became popular. National identity is positively defined in terms of masculine values and practices, and state-sanctioned expressions of Finnishness have been regarded as the true locus of that identity, overlooking the significance of popular culture. This dissertation also advances masculinities research by studying the reformulation of masculinities across multiple popular texts and in relation to changes in the mass media.
