    Irene Götz, Klaus Roth, Marketa Spiritova (Hg.) Neuer Nationalismus im östlichen Europa Ethnografische Perspektiven auf das östliche Europa Band 3 Editorial Die tiefgreifenden Transformationsprozesse, die die Gesellschaften des östli- chen Europas seit den letzten Jahrzehnten prägen, werden mit Begriffen wie Postsozialismus, Globalisierung und EU-Integration nur oberflächlich be- schrieben. Ethnografische Ansätze vermögen es, die damit einhergehenden Veränderungen der Alltage, Biografien und Identitäten multiperspektivisch und subjektorientiert zu beleuchten. Die Reihe Ethnografische Perspektiven auf das östliche Europa gibt vertiefte Einblicke in die Verflechtungen von ma- krostrukturellen Politiken und ihren medialen Repräsentationen mit den Prak- tiken der Akteurinnen und Akteure in urbanen wie ländlichen Lebenswelten. Themenfelder sind beispielsweise identitätspolitische Inszenierungen, Prozes- se des Nation Building, privates und öffentliches Erinnern, neue soziale Bewe- gungen und transnationale Mobilitäten in einer sich umgestaltenden Bürger- kultur. Die Reihe wird herausgegeben von Prof. Dr. Irene Götz, Professorin für Euro- päische Ethnologie an der LMU München. Irene Götz, Klaus Roth, Marketa Spiritova (Hg.)
