SUMMARY:Post-Yugoslav Spaces Through the Postcolonial Prism

DESCRIPTION:This event is intended to foster new interdisciplinary resear
 ch networks of advanced PhD students and early career researchers dealin
 g with post-Yugoslav spaces. The main aim is to promote the professional
  development of postgraduate students through a discussion about the imp
 lications of using insights and analytical approaches from postcolonial 
 studies to researching post-Yugoslav spaces.\n\nThe histories of post-Yu
 goslav spaces have been characterised by multiple geographical\, cultura
 l and political marginality. Territories north of the Danube and north-w
 est of the borders of nowadays Bosnia and Herzegovina constituted the ma
 rgins of the Western\, or more precisely\, German dominated cultural and
  political spheres (Holy Roman Empire\, Austrian and Austro-Hungarian Em
 pires)\; while the territories southwards from these boundaries constitu
 ted\, since the late middle-ages until late-nineteenth-early-twentieth c
 enturies\, the north-western margins of the Ottoman cultural and politic
 al influences.\n\nThese early experiences of marginality and subalternit
 y both influenced and gave way to more recent political\, social and cul
 tural developments which took place in these areas: the rise and develop
 ment of nineteenth-century nationalist ideologies (Serbian\, Croatian\, 
 South-Yugoslav\, etc.) and a nation-state (Serbian)\, the experiences of
  the ‘three Yugoslavias’ (Ramet 2006)\, and the most recent ‘post-Social
 ist’ (‘post-Communist’) period\, which saw the formation of a series of 
 new nations and nation-states.\nThis workshop aims to explore the influe
 nces\, legacies and present day dynamics of marginality and subalternity
 \, but also\, possibly\, colonialism\, in areas nowadays defined as post
 -Yugoslav space(s). We welcome topics dealing with various aspects of po
 litical\, social\, historical and cultural developments and phenomena of
  this area\, from the early modern period to the present times.\n\nBy te
 sting and challenging the possibilities of applying the post-colonial fr
 amework in researching the post-Yugoslav spaces\, this workshop not only
  contributes to some on-going debates\, such as intersections between po
 st-colonialism and nationalism(s)\, or relations between ‘post-colonial’
  and ‘post-socialist’ / ‘post-communist’\, but it also aims to suggest s
 ome new methodological avenues for future work.
