  In this thematic issue of Traditiones, the authors examine what it means to be isolated. Based on research in isolated communities and in abandoned, remote, and degraded areas, they explore how experiences of isolation are formed and how different types of isolation – from social and physical to digital, infrastructural, and ideological – frame experiences and values, shaping as well understandings of space and time.

  26.06.2023

  The history of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has been characterized by the violent changing of borders and routes ever since WW1 and WW2. Post-war events continue to shape everyday local realities, state formations, and displacement of communities.
