The forum section of this issue focuses on the wave of revolutions taking place in the Arab World. All three contributors have conducted fieldwork in countries of the region and point to certain important aspects of the so-called Arab Spring that the global news media and the political analysts have rarely captured. In his piece about Egyptian political activists Henri Onodera (University of Helsinki) ponders on the question of anonymity. Revealing or concealing one’s identity in public debates is a complicated question in many respects for both the activists themselves and the anthropologists who study them. Susanne Dahlgren (University of Helsinki) writes about Southern Yemen, emphasizing the heterogeneity of the Arab Spring. According to her, the Yemeni revolution should be understood in the context of a longer internal conflict rather than treating it as an offspring of the Tunisian revolution. Similarly, in the concluding piece Samuli Schielke (Zentrum Moderner Orient) discusses how the events taking place at Tahrir Square in Cairo last year should also be viewed as a part of a long tradition of popular uprisings in Egypt starting from the nineteenth century.

In the news section, Mari Korpela (University of Tampere) and Jukka Jouhki (University of Jyväskylä) report on a new collaboration of Finland-based scholars studying India. Until now, the links between India researchers of different disciplines have been largely informal and personal. In order to get an overview of India research in Finland several scholars met in a workshop held in October 2011 at the Finnish Anthropology Conference. Plans for establishing a formal network for the researchers were also put forward.

Unfortunately, this introduction ends on a sad note. We are deeply saddened to receive the news about the sudden and untimely passing away of Professor Emerita Ulla Vuorela on the 17th December 2011. A professor of Social Anthropology in the University of Tampere, she was a valued colleague and a highly respected member of the Finnish anthropology community. A complete obituary will follow at a later date.
