Beschreibung

Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren. From the Partition and Annexation of Macedonia in 1913 to the Present. A Collection of Essays on Language, Culture and History. Edited by Jim Hlavac and Victor Friedman. This multi-disciplinary book of 15 papers features contributions from historians, political analysts, social theorists, linguists, educationalists and legal specialists tracing the consequences of the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) and the partition of Macedonia on the social, cultural and linguistic landscape of this region. As a part of Europe under the control of the Ottomans until 1912, Macedonia was less captured by the allure of national romanticism than other areas of Europe, and an embryonic notion of multi-national statehood appeared there. This notion was based on local and regional practices that encompassed groups with different linguistic, cultural and religious heritages rather than being based exclusively on ethnic or religious affiliations. Such a conception of 'nation' which could perhaps provide an aspirational model for many post-industrial, multi-cultural societies in Western Europe in the 21st century was suppressed by the 19th-century nationalism that still characterises much of European politics. XXIV,419 Seiten mit einigen Abb., gebunden (Studies on Language and Culture in Central and Eastern Europe; Band 24/Verlag Otto Sagner 2015). Statt EUR 45,95. Gewicht: 672 g - Gebunden/Gebundene Ausgabe - Sprache: Englisch.
