AcknowledgementsI am very pleased that I can finally acknowledge the plurality of voices thathave helped and encouraged me during this long period of work.First of all, I would like to thank the Department of Literature and theArts at the University of Tampere, and the School of Literary and TextualTheory for making all this possible. All my colleagues in Tampere and Helsinkihave my deepest gratitude, especially Klaus Brax, Teemu Ikonen, JannaKantola, Kuisma Korhonen, Marjo Kylmänen, Tiina Käkelä-Puumala, KaiMikkonen, Minna Niemi-Grundström, Heta Pyrhönen, Jyrki Vainonen andTanja Vesala-Varttala, who have all read and commented on my texts. Together,they have been a magnificent sounding board for ideas, providinggood critique, thoughtful advice and great company.Special thanks to professors Pekka Tammi and H.K. Riikonen for leadingour work and for setting high professional standards with their own example.In particular, professor Tammi’s determination and commitment tothe completion of the work has been essential. In the earlier stages of my researchI have profited from the comments by Kirsti Simonsuuri, Matti Savolainenand Mikko Lehtonen, as well as from seminars with Brian McHale,Michael Holquist and Sara Mills, among others.I am particularly grateful to professor John Alphonso Karkala (StateUniversity of New York) for reading and commenting my work, and formany discussions that increased my awareness of the sensitivities involvedwith religious and multicultural issues.Many thanks also to the English Department at the University of Tampere:Joel Kuortti for introducing me to Salman Rushdie’s work, NicholasRoyle for Derrida and deconstruction, and especially to David Robertson,whose expertise on Milton and the questions related to the self in literaturehave been a great source for inspiration.The detective work of the interlibrary loan division of Tampere UniversityLibrary has been invaluable in acquiring my diverse source materials. Iam also grateful to the Vatican Museums for allowing me to reproduce “TheTransfiguration” by Raphael, UIP/Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. forpermissions to reproduce the images from Rosemary’s Baby, The Exorcist,Blade Runner and Interview with the Vampire. The Finnish Film Archive waskind enough to allow me an access to their collections.At the final stages of the work, Kirby Olson carefully proof-read themanuscript and offered many inspiring comments. Many thanks also for theexpert readings by Anthony Johnson (Åbo Akademi) and Kent P. Ljungquist(Worcester Polytechnic Institute): they suggested many improve-
ments, and also such further lines of inquiry that I can only hope to be ableto explore in the future.There are many challenges to be confronted if one wants to pursueone’s own way – Sanna, Tarja, Markku: thanks for your trust, support andencouragement. My friends and family have believed in my work, but theyhave also done their best to save me from my demons from time to time.With love and persistence they have proven the existence of quite a solid andenduring world outside my den, without which this enterprise would finallyhave been unbearable. For this I want to express my deepest gratitude.– Frans Ilkka MäyräTampere, FinlandThis book is dedicated to my parents, Reetta and Matti Mäyrä.
