In the article it is argued that shared sanctuaries and related shared cultural (or religious) practices taking place in Bosnian multireligious communities, are a manifestation of the ‘care for the other’ and of the tendency towards syncretism, characterizing the ordinary people who have lived all their life in juxtaposed ethnoreligious communities. The article is published in French and Spanish edition, the English edition in print, to be followed by Arab edition.

The author proposes an analysis of the Italian, Slovenian and Croatian collective memory of the WW II and post- WW II violent events on the eastern Adriatic coast ('foibe' and the exile of the Italian population in particular) as a mix of disparate consequences of the failed Italian empire-building in the Adriatic. The prospects of the future shared Adriatic memory are also reflected upon.

The article explores the issue of ambivalent identities in transnational migrations between Argentina and Slovenia. Recent migrations between the two states are historically and causally related to political emigration after the Second World War from Slovenia to Argentina and the formation of a diasporic community that asserted complex symbolic links to its homeland. Due to this connection, contemporary migrants can claim and (re)activate their Slovene origin, ‘original’ culture, belonging, citizenship and social identities.

The paper addresses construction of space and place in the Slovene diaspora in Argentina and the role of the place of origin in contemporary transnational migrations and related identity processes. Slovene emigrants established the rationale to “preserve” a community in diaspora and constructed their ambivalent identities on the basis of their refugee experiences. Today, transnational migrations have a key role in the persistence of diasporic identities as they enable maintenance of social ties at greater distances and simultaneous inclusion of individuals in several social spaces.

In this chapter, the concept of nesting orientalisms is exposed to a close analysis. It is demonstrated that the linear axis of orientalizing one's own neighbors, assumedly the defining trait of the phenomenon, is a construct not corroborated by any serious ethnography of the totality of orientalizing discourses in the former Yugoslav region.
