Reclaiming Historical Materialism for Balkan Studies
Dissolving into the sea
Films about irregular migration to Europe that centre on the Mediterranean sea crossing often unwittingly strengthen the regime of migrant (in)visibility furthered by sensationalist media, which include topoi of shipwrecks, dramatic rescues, and body bags. Such films’ imagery of the Mediterranean as a metaphorical space of transformation into living death, actual death, or paradisiacal life also suggests that the identity of the migrant is indete…
Uncommon Alliances
Examines European Union’s neocolonial sovereignty in cultural narratives of migration Uncommon Alliances: Cultural Narratives of Migration in the New Europe takes a critical stance toward both assimilationist and multicultural imaginings of community in the European Union that occlude neocolonial relations of dependence and exclusion. Bringing into conversation postcolonial and post-communist migration narratives from Africa, Asia and Eastern Eur…

Linguistic imperialism revisited
East of West

To the editors, it is important to look at "intercultural performance as a social act, examining what ha…
