Pohjalaisia is a Finnish play. It was written by Artturi Järviluoma and produced in 1940. Pohjalaisia is in 1914 the film premiered in Artturi Järviluoma, written a play. The premiere of the play directed by Jalmari Lahdensuo. Pohjalaisia been translated into several languages, including Estonian, Swedish, Russian, Polish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, French, English, Dutch and German.
The play was dapated as an opera by the composer Leevi Madetoja in 1923 - when it ios known in English as the Ostrobothnians - and has also been the source for two movies. In 1925, appeared Lahdensuo´s directed silent film and 1936 Toivo Särkkä directed a film version.
Artturi Järviluoma Pohjalaisia-play describes the southern Ostrobothnian public life and the people fighting the bureaucratic and partly by the violent power of the office. In three national pageant will take place until about 1850, when the Southern Ostrobothnia, ie the most intense in the middle of a knife through the squire. Earlier research had to work general ostrobotnian, but the content of a more detailed analysis shows that the drama as a social framework is Lapua law. The motion refers to the constitutional government in 1843 provided a couple of times right with own name, keeper of the law, the concept of night curfew and other forms of Lapua aldermansinsitutions special features.
Book venue is therefore one of the Lapuanjoki flood prone milieu of the river, probably Kauhava-Härmä district. [1], from memory the similarities it has been concluded that Järviluoma is Pohjalaisia-drama could have used a model or a written source of young of lung disease in surviving graduate Anton Kankaanpää sign and via the local 1800 - and 1900-centuries presented a spectacle Härmäläisiä (Poing fathers), the manuscript has not survived. [2]
Historical background, the reality is sheriff´s bureaucratic pride and violent behavior, which triggered widespread anger in the Greater Lapua. Sheriff's and ordinary people, relationships were the mid-19th century and thereafter so inflamed that a sheriff was killed, as was the case even in the play itself. Sheriff's background figure is therefore suitable for many kind of Lapua sheriff and author in addition to your local Sheriff. [3]
Järviluoma acquainted with the Greater Lapua conditions initiated in 1908 together with Toivo Kuula and E.E. Niemi with a collection of folk songs Kauhava´s Ylikylä. Ball recorded the songs, melodies and words of Järviluoma. Songs were the size of more than 140, which included his play Järviluoma ten. Seven of these had Kauhava collected. Together, the song mentions Alahärmä, which was way Kauhava´s Lapua chapel congregation. [4]
Järviluoma, the drama describes the different ideologies between the competition and provide personal ittensä squire knife through the entire period of emergence of an acceptable explanation of the basis. Symbolically, it is clear from the petition to the cheriff of the jurors deterrence: "These people are like a river there, which is calm and peaceful flow of their own careers, until one reason or another starts to flood the stomach, but then it does not have any limits. It hurts when everything happens in its path. Therefore, do not kick up a flood. "[5]
Pohjalaisia-drama written in the second period of oppression is perhaps the darkest in 1913. Then it seemed that the Finnish people had already been printed on the forehead "slave brand". Järviluoma itself, reportedly, just the desire to resist Russian efforts bore Pohjalaisia's play, which was presented for the first time in Lapua, Finland for Easter 1914. The writer did not have long to wait awakening of resistance, because already in November that year founded the Jaeger business "brand slave" to repel.
Although the drama was tied to the mid-19th century events, southern Ostrobotnian people instinct - unlike the rest of the country first - the connection of their time streams. Swedish-speaking officials of the farm was now only a Russian tyranny. Maybe this is why the play reached its southern Ostrobothnia people since the beginning of a great popular support.
Drama interprets Ostrobothnian mentality and love of freedom, and belongs to the Finno works of dramatic literature. The work aims to folk and regional persons innermost essence of life, which is an exciting plot and ideological supplement. [6]
