History and profile
Nuori Voima was founded in 1908.[1][2][3] The magazine was founded and published by the Nuoren Voiman Liitto (Finnish: The Union of Young Powers), a non-profit literature organization.[4][5] It comes out five times a year.[1] The magazine produces thematic issues[3] and features literary work and articles written about art, philosophy, culture and society.[1] It has a twice per year literary critic supplement, Kritiikki.[1] The magazine has also an annual poetry issue.[6]
Contributors and editors
In the early years a group of poets who would be known as Tulenkantajat (Finnish: Torch Bearers) from 1924 were the regular contributors of Nuori Voima.[7] Some of its significant international contributors include French philosophers Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault and Jacques Lacan.[2] The magazine also featured work by Walter Benjamin, Mikhail Bakhtin and Peter Sloterdijk.[2] Finnish poet Olavi Paavolainen started his career in the magazine.[8]
Martti-Tapio Kuuskoski served as the editor-in-chief of Nuori Voima.[3] Jukka Koskelainen and Jyrki Kiiskinen were among its former editors-in-chief, and the latter held the post between 1991 and 1994.[6]
