SakariKatajamäki

I work as Managing Editor of the unit Edith – Critical Editions of Finnish Literature (Finnish Literature Society – SKS) and hold the title of docent at the University of Helsinki and at the Theatre Academy. My editorial work has focused on nineteenth-century Finnish writers Samuel Gustaf Bergh, Aleksis Kivi, Minna Canth and the Finnish translations of Zacharias Topelius’s textbooks.

I am currently PI of the multidisciplinary research project Traces of Translation in the Archives (Kone Foundation), president of the European Society for Textual Scholarship and the chairman of the WSOY Literary Foundation and the Seurasaari Foundation. I am a co-founder of the international conference series GENESIS. Since 2020, I have been an associate member of the Centre for Creativity Research (Jagiellonian University, Kraków).
