Dediščina na obrobju? Srednje- in vzhodnoevropske perspektive / Heritage on the Margins? Central and Eastern European Perspectives – Traditiones 54 (1), 2024

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. (Self)imposed views on centrality and/or marginality of the region come strongly to the fore when considering these developments, producing inherent diversity. Socialism and post-socialism can be understood as a unifying experience in the region, but it is also highly differentiated, when considered alongside historical events and local political developments.
