THE PRODUCTION OF SPACE: A BALKAN PERSPECTIVE
Keywords:
the Balkans, historical region, symbolic geography, regionalization, ‘balkanism’
Abstract
The article describes the approach to and condenses some of the main arguments presented in the author’s book Beyond Balkansim: The Scholarly Politics of Region Making. It charts the main phases in the scholarly conceptualization of the Balkans and its characteristics and, against this background, tackles the question: What can we learn from the Balkan case about the actual production of regions?
