Comparable Reading Development in Bulgarian and Italian
Transparent orthographies, such as Bulgarian and Italian, feature highly consistent grapheme-phoneme correspondences, enabling rapid acquisition of decoding skills. Despite belonging to different language families and using distinct scripts (i.e., Cyrillic vs. Latin), these languages provide an ideal framework to investigate whether orthographic transparency can outweigh script differences in shaping reading development. We conducted a cross-sect…

Are the Balkans Connected? When and How
Connection is an all-encompassing concept: humans are intrinsically somehow connected to each other. Circulation, which is the movement of connected entities, is omnipresent. Even in the most isolated village, women and men are connected and circulate by marriage and labor, food circulates, words circulate; the difference is simply the size and amount of circulation but not circulation itself. Thus, unless we qualify connectivity, it is meaningle…

The development of professional vision in pre-service teachers during initial teacher education and its relationship to beliefs about teaching and learning
This study explores longitudinal change in professional vision of instructional support during initial teacher education and its association with beliefs about teaching and learning. Growth modeling with multilevel approaches applied to data from N = 130 pre-service teachers at four measurement points throughout their bachelor's degree revealed a linear development in professional vision. However, the pre-service teachers observed differed system…
Post-communist Nostalgia
Although the end of the Cold War was greeted with great enthusiasm by people in the East and the West, the ensuing social and especially economic changes did not always result in the hoped-for improvements in people’s lives. This led to widespread disillusionment that can be observed today all across Eastern Europe. Not simply a longing for security, stability, and prosperity, this nostalgia is also a sense of loss regarding a specific form of so…

The Lost World of Socialists at Europe’s Margins
With a focus on Bulgaria, Maria Todorova’s book examines the promise for an alternative socialist utopia from 1870 to the 1920s. The Lost World of Socialists at Europe’s Margins innovatively moves beyond the traditional historiographical emphasis on ideology by looking at different intersections or entanglements of spaces, generations, genders, ideas and feelings, and different flows of historical time
Scaling the Balkans
Scaling the Balkans puts in conversation several fields that have been traditionally treated as discrete: Balkan studies, Ottoman studies, East European studies, and Habsburg and Russian studies. By looking at the complex interrelationship between countries and regions, demonstrating how different perspectives and different methodological approaches inflect interpretations and conclusions, it insists on the heuristic value of scales. The volume i…
Re-Mapping Centre and Periphery
Historians often assume a one-directional transmission of knowledge and ideas, leading to the establishment of spatial hierarchies defined as centres and peripheries. In recent decades, transnational and global history have contributed to a more inclusive understanding of intellectual and cultural exchanges that profoundly challenged the ways in which we draw our mental maps. \n \nCovering the early modern and modern periods, Re-Mapping Centre an…
Intimate Explorations of Postsocialist Lives
Two books offer different takes on everyday life in Bulgaria since 1989, one a lament for the loss of social solidarity, the other a lyrical portrait of a wild frontier region
On the Epistemological Value of Family Models
This article is an extension of my work in Balkan Family Structure and the European Pattern (1993/2006) in that it squarely deals with the famous Hajnal line: the symbolic demarcation line proposed by the British demographer John Hajnal which divided the geographic Europe into an area running from St. Petersburg to Trieste, and characterizing the region to its west as the zone of the European marriage pattern, and the one to the east as non-Europ…

Is there weak nationalism and is it a useful category
Introducing the category ‘weak nationalism’, this article emphasises the scales of intensity and the different operational modes of nationalism across time and space, as well as within the same space. It refuses to create a model or another dichotomy – strong/weak – on a par with earlier ones like organic/civic,Eastern/Western, bad/good. Rather, it approaches nationalism as a binary variable on a scale from weak/low to strong/high. It argues to e…

Remembering Communism
Remembering Communism examines the formation and transformation of the memory of communism in the post-communist period. The majority of the articles focus on memory practices in the post-Stalinist era in Bulgaria and Romania, with occasional references to the cases of Poland and the GDR. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, including history, anthropology, cultural studies and sociology, the volume examines the mechanisms and processes that i…
Mary C. Neuburger. Balkan Smoke
After laying down Balkan Smoke, this lifelong non-smoker longed for a cigarette from a Bulgartabak packet. Mary C. Neuburger's brilliant new book recounts the social life of tobacco in the past two centuries. In her hands tobacco becomes a surprisingly transparent and focused lens reaching through the dense smoke at the contours of Bulgaria's political, economic, social, and cultural history. From the sixteenth century, the Ottoman coffee-house h…

Bones of Contention
This book is about documenting and analyzing the living archive around the figure of Vasil Levski (1837–1873), arguably the major and only uncontested hero of the Bulgarian national pantheon. The processes described, although with a chronological depth of almost two centuries, are still very much in the making, and the living archive expands not only in size but constantly adding surprising new forms. The monograph is a historical study, taking a…
The Balkans
Beyond and below what was once Czechoslovakia lie the deep Balkans. They are, it has been said, a sort of hell paved with the bad intentions of the powers By the beginning of the twentieth century Europe had added to its repertoire of Schimpfwörter , or disparagements, a new one which turned out to be more persistent than others with centuries old traditions. "Balkanization" not only had come to denote the parcelization of large and viable politi…
The Trap of Backwardness
This article focuses on the discourse of backwardness as an aspect of what has been recognized as the dominant trope in east European historiography undl the end of the twentieth century, namely nationalism. Through a survey of east European historiographies, it demonstrates how different notions of temporality are employed. Eastern Europe as a whole and the particular problem of east European nationalism have been constituted as historical objec…

Spacing Europe
The focus of this article is the introduction of the category of historical legacy as the most adequate heuristic device in approaching and describing historical regions. Its central argument is that the notion of historical legacy, insofar as it allows more c1early to articulate the dynamism and fluidity of historical change, has numerous advantages over other more structural categories of analysis utilized thus far in the literature, such as bo…
Situating the family of Ottoman Bulgaria within the European pattern
The article seeks to reassess the traditional stereotype of the complex Balkan family, especially in Bulgaria, on the basis of published and unpublished materials. On most measure features, such as population structure, marriage patterns, fertility and mortality rates, family and household size and structure, and inheritance patterns the Balkans show a great deal of variety and, on some measures, are more like the western and central parts of Eur…

Bulgarian Historical Writing on the Ottoman Empire
Bulgarian historiography began to professionalize itself after the creation of an independent Bulgarian state (de facto in 1878, de jure in 1908), and the foundation of scholarly institutions. Until then historical writing had been dominated by enthusiasts (clergymen, teachers, local dilettanti), passionately serving the ideas of cultural revival and political independence through historical knowledge. Thus, Bulgarian historiography at its incept…

Fragments of Cultural History’? Recent work on south-east European cultural history
In his review of Jean-Baptiste Duroselle’s ‘Europe. A History of Its Peoples’, Paschalis Kitromilides lamented that in most general accounts, Europe has been reduced to a history of Visigothic Europe. In these two volumes reflecting his oeuvre until 1994 — one a valuable monograph on a crucial figure of the Balkan Enlightenment, the other an updated collection of essays written in the course of fifteen years and covering some of the central proce…

Imagining the Balkans
If the Balkans hadn’t existed, they would have been invented was the verdict of Count Hermann Keyserling in his famous 1928 publication, Europe. Over ten years ago, Maria Todorova traced the relationship between the reality and the invention. Based on a rich selection of travelogues, diplomatic accounts, academic surveys, journalism, and belles-lettres in many languages, Imagining the Balkans explored the ontology of the Balkans from the sixteent…
