The NSU Daily Planet blog (which you, dear readers, are right now focusing attention on) is the main information channel
during the Summer Symposium 2016. The editor (Max Ryynänen) will try to keep the "newspaper" as minimalistic as possible, to ensure that it is easy to find information.
The content of the blog will also be updated
from the 24th of July to the 31st of July 2016 with the help of student
bloggers participating in the "blogging workshop".
All new information will be put on the blog, and the same applies in
case of changes. The blog will, though, be more updated actively during
the summer session. It will include daily information / news, thematic
text and useful links. The same information will be posted manually for
the participants in the lobby of the main building. Check for the list of topics on the right side!

Mänttä Art Festival (Cultural Program)
About the Mänttä Art Festival, which you can visit during your week in Orivesi:
The festival, which is more of an annual summer exhibition, and which has a central role in the Finnish 'summer art scene', is this year curated by Anssi Kasitonni, a humoristic video artist.
The exhibit takes place in Mänttä, a small town up north from Orivesi, where there has been a lot of wood industry. The Serlachius paper mill family has established also an art museum in Mänttä, Gösta, which hosts right now an exhibition about the relationship of technology and art.
Please check the link in the beginning of the post to get more information about the art activities in Mänttä. Going commando, the art festival, includes works by established names like Mika Taanila, Pertti Kurikka and Lucy Liu. You 'heard right,' Lucy Liu.

Elisabeth Povinelli (Keynote)
Keynote Elisabeth Povinelli's description of her work:
"My writing has focused on developing a critical theory of late liberalism that would support an anthropology of the otherwise. My first two books examine the governance of the otherwise in late liberal settler colonies from the perspective of the politics of recognition. My last two books examined the same from the perspective of intimacy, embodiment, and narrative form. My ethnographic analysis is animated by a critical engagement with the traditions of American pragmatism and continental immanent theory."
