This volume is dedicated to the Great War and memory in Central and South-Eastern Europe. It widens the insufficient and spotty representations of the Great War in that region. The chapters bring an important addition to present-day scholarship on the more or less unknown war in the Balkans and at the Italian fronts. It adds significantly to the scholarship on the Balkan theatre of war and provide a muchneeded account of the suffering of civilians, ideas, loyalties and cultural hegemonies, as well as memories and the post-war memorial landscape.

COBISS.SI-ID: 39712813The book offers refreshing insight into the ways Europe is imagined, negotiated and evoked in Balkan societies in the time of their accession to the European Union. Until now, visions of Europe from the southeast of the continent have been largely overlooked. By examining political and academic discourses, cultural performances, and memory practices, this collection destabilizes supposedly clear and firm division of the continent into East and West, ‘old’ and ‘n e w’ Europe, ‘Europe’ and ‘still-not- Europe’. The essays collected here show Europe to be a dynamic, multifaceted, contested idea built on values, images and metaphors that are widely shared across such geographic and ideological frontiers.
