View Vol. 53 No. 1 (2026): Analysing and Playing with Words and Concepts

For this issue of Ethnologia Fennica, we invited contributions that examine the role of words and concepts in ethnological and related research. Words and concepts are central to all stages of scholarly work: they enable the sharing and development of ideas, support theorisation, guide the analysis of research materials and make it possible to articulate affective experiences and other significant yet often difficult-to-describe phenomena. The use of words in various research contexts is shaped by disciplinary conventions. Certain forms of writing, modes of argumentation and types of conceptual work are expected within academic texts. At the same time, discussions concerning definitions and alternative approaches to theoretical concepts remain crucial to fostering a shared understanding and enabling the continual re-interpretation of concepts and their meanings.

This issue comprises four peer-reviewed research articles and an essay, as well as one article that
falls outside the thematic scope.
