Anna-Liisa Haakana is a Finnish novelist best known for her realistic stories set in Sápmi (better known in English by its colonial name “Lapland”) during the 1980s. Haakana’s teenage protagonists, Ykä in Ykä Yksinäinen (Ykä the Lonely, 1980) and Anitra in Ykköstyttö (Number One Girl, 1981), feel lonely and isolated despite being surrounded by their families. Loneliness, as Fay Alberti reminds us, is a social and cultural phenomenon which has its own history. In Haakana’s pre-internet novels, loneliness is mapped onto the northern landscape such that the protagonists’ perceptions of their homes are tinged with feelings of isolation. In this article, I investigate the links between the feelings of loneliness and landscape by drawing on Sara Ahmed’s work on queer orientations to examine the geo-spatial dimensions of loneliness. Although neither of the novels by Haakana examined here are romances per se, desire acts as a form of way-finding for both Ykä and Anitra. For both teens, feelings of love combined with the desire to care for someone vulnerable orient them towards their homes. To do so, they must move: stillness leads to feelings of loneliness and topophobia, but movement leads to feelings of purpose and topophilia.

Food and Meals as Symbols for Mothering: An Analysis of the Picturebooks Mor by Kim Fupz Aakeson and Mette-Kirstine Bak and Stripekalven by Marit Kaldhol and Justyna Nyka In this article, we analyze the picturebooks Mor (Mother, 1998) by Kim Fupz Aakeson and Mette-Kirstine Bak and Stripekalven (The Striped Calf, 2008) by Marit Kaldhol and Justyna Nyka based on the following question: How do Mor and Stripekalven treat food and meals as markers for both positive and negative aspects of mothering? In the analysis, we draw on, among others, Ulla M. Holm’s theory of mothering as a type of care practice and examine the four different women that act in the books. Our main finding is that the women, who end up practicing mothering, are complex and composite: they are capable of nurturing the children as well as themselves. Our study also reveals that care practices are portrayed as challenging when children are opposed to receiving them. Lastly, we conclude that the female characters in the books who qualify as mothers are ambivalent figures and not unequivocally good.
食物和饭菜作为母性的象征:对金·富普兹·阿克森和梅特-克里斯汀·巴克以及玛丽特·卡尔德霍尔和贾斯蒂娜·尼卡的绘本《莫尔》(母亲,1998年)和玛丽特·卡尔德霍尔和贾斯蒂娜·尼卡的绘本《条纹卡文》(条纹小牛,2008年)的分析基于以下问题:more和Stripekalven如何看待食物和膳食作为母亲积极和消极方面的标志?在分析中,我们借鉴了乌拉·m·霍尔姆(Ulla M. Holm)将母性作为一种护理实践的理论,并研究了书中四位不同的女性。我们的主要发现是,最终成为母亲的女性是复杂和综合的:她们有能力抚养孩子和自己。我们的研究还表明,当儿童反对接受护理时,护理实践被描绘成具有挑战性。最后,我们得出结论,书中有资格成为母亲的女性角色是矛盾的人物,并不是明确的好。
