This study examines how globalization has affected national culture in Finland during the last two decades. The study begins by accounting for how culture was nationalized in Finland during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, theorizing its institutional function during the period. It then proceeds to examine how globalization has been understood today, paying particular attention to its cultural dimensions. It then examines a rupture that has occurred in Finnish national culture's function through the latter's integration into processes of globalization. Drawing on the problems and questions that arise, I present readings of Aki Kaurismäki's film and Leena Krohn's writing. The study discusses Kaurismäki's “Loser Trilogy”—<italic> Shadows in Paradise</italic> (1986), <italic>Ariel</italic> (1988), and <italic> The Match-Factory Girl</italic> (1990). It also discusses a fourth thematically related film <italic>Drifting Clouds</italic> (1996). In discussing Krohn's production, the study focuses on her 1985 novel <italic>Tainaron</italic>, her 1995 essay collection <italic>Kyndä ja kone</italic>, and her recent novel <italic>Pereat mundus</italic> (1998). These readings suggest ways of approaching these texts, and Finnish culture, which underscore the effects of globalization and challenge the primacy of the national as a form of cultural expression.

520 $a This study examines how globalization has affected national culture in Finland during the last two decades. The study begins by accounting for how culture was nationalized in Finland during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, theorizing its institutional function during the period. It then proceeds to examine how globalization has been understood today, paying particular attention to its cultural dimensions. It then examines a rupture that has occurred in Finnish national culture's function through the latter's integration into processes of globalization. Drawing on the problems and questions that arise, I present readings of Aki Kaurismäki's film and Leena Krohn's writing. The study discusses Kaurismäki's “Loser Trilogy”—<italic> Shadows in Paradise</italic> (1986), <italic>Ariel</italic> (1988), and <italic> The Match-Factory Girl</italic> (1990).

520 $a The study asserts that national culture has functioned to produce national subjectivities in line with the ideals of state elites. Globalization, it is claimed, dismantles the nation-state's capacity to function in this way. Finnish culture can no longer produce only national subjects; globalization pluralizes subjectifying discourses, creating manifold, impermanent subjectivities, although some of these may have national aspects. As a result, I argue, we must reconsider and revise the assumptions that justify institutional study of cultural objects deemed to be expressions of Finnish culture—film by Aki Kaurismäki and writing by Leena Krohn, for example.
