Personal Names in Swedish Academia
Engaging with foreign-sounding personal names is an everyday reality in collegial interactions within contemporary Swedish academia. While encounters with difference are ever-present, dynamics of address often resist straightforward alignment within conventional hierarchies. The interview-based empirical material challenges overly simplistic analytical assumptions that rely on binaries such as native versus non-native or domestic versus internati…
Forced Migrations as a European Heritage and Resource for Enhancing Intercultural Cohesion
Social identity theory argues that conflict between groups diminishes if they discover they have something important in common, and if they can build a new hybrid identity together. With this premise in mind, the article demonstrates how present-day experiences of refugees, displaced ethnic groups, political exiles, foreign-born workers, diasporic populations and other migrants may be incorporated into the existing body of predominantly national …
Postmigrant Talks
Diversity in the East-Central European Borderlands
Built on up-to-date field material, this edited volume suggests an anthropological approach to the palimpsest-like milieus of Wrocław, Lviv, Chernivtsi, and Chişinău. In these East-Central European borderline cities, the legacies of Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, and violent ethno-nationalism have been revisited in recent decades in search of profound moral reckoning and in response to the challenges posed by the (post-)transitional period. Present sh…
Academics Executed on the Wulecki Hills in L'viv
In 2011, a monument commemorating a group of Polish academics killed during the Nazi occupation was unveiled at the site of their death in L ́viv, presently a Ukrainian city. This event became the pinnacle of a commemoration that had developed quite autonomously on both sides of the redrawn Polish-(Soviet)Ukrainian border. The commemorative project and memory event underpinning it are especially interesting owing to the partial recuperation of li…
Traitors, Collaborators and Deserters in Contemporary European Politics of Memory
Demonized, domesticated, virtualized
The article explores ways in which the nineteenth-century Prussian military architecture has been used and promoted as a part of the local heritage in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. Accommodation of the old fortification buildings to tourism and museum work has been publicly discussed since the beginning of the 2000s, but neither local nor federal authorities have proposed a plan to adapt them to non-military purposes. As a result, these str…
Spicing up Memories and Serving Nostalgias
The article is a result of field studies on the transformations of multicultural heritage in the east-central European cities of Cracow, Wrocław, Lviv and Chernivtsi. In all these cities, a majority of the pre-war populations (and in Wrocław, practically all pre-war residents) disappeared as a result of WWII. After decades of silence imposed by the ruling communist elites, collective memories of the post-war populations are now surfacing in publi…
Lviv and Chernivtsi
Despite geographical proximity and comparable historical development since the fall of the Soviet Union, Lviv and Chernivtsi betray different approaches to commemorating the past. This might point to the existence of different cultures of memory that sustain a narrative about acceptance or rejection of ethnic diversity. But the cultures of memory in the cities also have common characteristic, namely, contemporary urbanites form their attitudes to…

Ukrainian Intelligentsia in Post-Soviet L'viv
Intelligentsia assumes the right to speak in the name of the entire nation and to extrapolate its own tastes, values and choices to it. Therefore, intelligentsia's voices have been in many ways decisive in the discussions about Ukrainian national identity, which gained momentum in the post-Soviet Ukrainian society. The historical and cultural cityscape of L'viv is an especially apt site for investigation of the nexus intelligentsia-nation not onl…
The “Bandera Debate”
This article explores the core propositions articulated by several public actors in the so-called Bandera debate, i.e., discussions about the usable past and legacy of the wartime Ukrainian nationalist insurgency and its central symbolic figure, Stepan Bandera. In Western Ukraine, popular historical imagery as well as intellectual polemics about “Ukrainization” of World War II challenged both the Soviet myth of the Great Patriotic War and the Eur…
Cultural Identifications, Political Representations and National Project(s) on the Symbolic Arena of the Orange Revolution
The article is a study of the interplay of several important generators of meanings of the Orange Revolution, namely, background representations, cultural scripts, actors and audiences. The events of the Orange Revolution are interpreted as a symbolically charged socio‐cultural performance. The analysis is focused on the cultural identity component of the political representations of the main stage characters (two presidential candidates) which w…
