The state context and the status of various national and ethnic groups have often undergone dra- matic changes. The Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire, two domi- nant multiethnic and multicultural empires encompassing most of the Balkans, were seriously challenged by the rising national demands encouraged by the 1804 Serbian Revolution against Ottoman rule, and followed by a succession of wars for national liberation and the establishment of nation-states. Under such circumstances, the national question proved to be the key factor in the eventual dismantlement of both empires. Feudal and highly conservative, both the Ot- toman and the Habsburg Empire were not only incapable of profound reform but also of working out alternatives to the increasingly appealing national causes coupled with predominantly liberal patterns of national liberation and state in- dependence process as the ultimate objective. In that context, the relationship between the Balkan state and its majority nation (or majority nations), on the one hand, and its internationally protected minorities or other minority groups, on the other, were difficult and strained. Looking at the nation and state building processes in the nineteenth century, Vojislav G. Pavlović examines the evolution of the notion of “mino- rity” in Serbia. National activism, institution building and growing national consciousness were interrelated in three stages in the history of the minority question in nineteenth-century Serbia, those of migration, integration and as- similation. Comparing the ethnically quite homogeneous Kingdom of Serbia against the multiethnic experience of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Slobodan G. Markovich sees the successful resolution of the national question in pre-Great War Serbia as one of the reasons for the subsequent lack of understanding of the http://www.balkaninstitut.com 8 Minorities in the Balkans national problem in Yugoslavia and for the belief that the Yugoslav idea could be a sound basis for building new state and national identities. The concept of Yugoslavism, especially in its integral form, was irreconcilable either with the antagonistic attitude of the country’s non-Slavic minorities or Croat national policy. Mladenka Ivanković looks at a very important question in the history of Serbia and Yugoslavia. She analyzes the attitude towards the Jewish community in 1918–1953 in the context of the overall attitude to the Jewish question in Europe in the interwar period and during the Second World War. Discussing the period of communist Yugoslavia, Katrin Boeckh sees the national question as the central question of the Titoist system (making compromises till the bitter end), examines its ideological implications, Titoist practices of minority pro- tection, but also national and interethnic rivalries which eventually led to the disintegration of Yugoslavia. In an analysis of the national question in Austro-Hungary seen as the Monarchy’s central question, Catherine Horel follows two aspects: institutional development and the rise of national consciousnesses and projects of different peoples within the Monarchy, arriving at the conclusion that its federalisation was “impossible”. Her contribution finds a continuation in the study of Gordana Krivokapić-Jović on the Serbs in Croatia in the course of the twentieth century. It discusses the long-standing presence of Serbs in Croatia, the legacy of the Habsburg Monarchy in both the Serbian and Croatian cases, and the commu- nist modifications of this historical legacy. It recapitulates the history of the Ser- bian question in Croatia, from their struggle for equal rights to Croats within the Dual Monarchy, to the genocide they underwent at the hands of the Croat fascists, Ustasha, in the Independent State of Croatia (1941–1945), to their sta- tus of a constitutive nation in Croatia as the only possible within communist Yugoslavia in the aftermath of the horrible genocide. The reduction of the Serbs to the status of a national minority under the new Croatian constitution in 1990 and their response with a referendum proclaiming the Serbian Autonomous Re- gion of Krajina, led to their persecution and eventual mass expulsion (1995). Two contributions take a look at the history of the minority question in Romania, Traian Sandu, dealing with the interwar Romania and the issue of national identity in post-1918 Greater Romania, and Ruxandra Ivan, examining the minority question under the communist regime. Sandu analyzes the diffi- culties of national integration, the international aspect of the problem, and the rise of nationalist movements, while Ruxandra Ivan focused on the last decade of the communist regime, recapitulates the Romanian-Hungarian conflict in Transylvania. The focus of Blagovest Njagulov’s interest is the nation-state building process and the attitude towards the minority question in Bulgaria from the late nineteenth century to the end of the Second World War (1878–1945), while Evgenia Kalinova addresses the sensitive Turkish question, i.e. the question of http://www.balkaninstitut.com Preface 9 the Turkish minority in socialist Bulgaria (1944–1989). Njagulov’s comprehen- sive overview of the minority communities in Bulgaria reveals the restrictions imposed upon some of them, while Kalinova focuses on important questions such as interethnic tolerance, assimilation, political violence, human rights, na- tional interest etc. Research interest in the status of minorities in the Ottoman Empire has produced a distinctive group of contributions. Thus, Bernard Lory looks at the Aromanian question, which is still of interest to the modern and contemporary Balkans (though admittedly of marginal interest to the Ottomans), while Dan- ko Taboroši retraces the fate of the Circassians in the Balkans. Lory shows that there could hardly have been such a thing as minority policy in an empire which was multicultural by definition, as opposed to a nation-state which derives its legitimacy from the people. Owing to the millet system, the Ottoman Empire was a case unto itself. Lory therefore criticizes the traditional approach of Bal- kan national historiographies for adopting political discourse in interpreting the

  • The Ethno-Cultural Belongingness of Aromanians, Vlachs, Catholics, and Lipovans/Old Believers in Romania and Bulgaria (1990–2012)
    CULTURĂ ŞI IDENTITATE NAŢIONALĂ THE ETHNO-CULTURAL BELONGINGNESS OF AROMANIANS, VLACHS, CATHOLICS, AND LIPOVANS/OLD BELIEVERS IN ROMANIA AND BULGARIA (1990–2012) MARIN CONSTANTIN∗ ABSTRACT This study is conceived as a historical and ethnographic contextualization of ethno-linguistic groups in contemporary Southeastern Europe, with a comparative approach of several transborder communities from Romania and Bulgaria (Aromanians, Catholics, Lipovans/Old Believers, and Vlachs), between 1990 and 2012. I am mainly interested in (1) presenting the ethno-demographic situation and geographic distribution of ethnic groups in Romania and Bulgaria, (2) repertorying the cultural traits characteristic for homonymous ethnic groups in the two countries, and (3) synthesizing the theoretical data of current anthropological literature on the ethno-cultural variability in Southeastern Europe. In essence, my methodology compares the ethno-demographic evolution in Romania and Bulgaria (192–2011), within the legislative framework of the two countries, to map afterward the distribution of ethnic groups across Romanian and Bulgarian regions. It is on such a ground that the ethnic characters will next be interpreted as either homologous between ethno-linguistic communities bearing identical or similar ethnonyms in both countries, or as interethnic analogies due to migration, coexistence, and acculturation among the same groups, while living in common or neighboring geographical areas. Keywords: ethnic characters, ethno-linguistic communities, cultural belongingness,

  • The Balkan Vlachs/Aromanians Awakening, National Policies, Assimilation Miroslav Ruzica Preface the Collapse of Communism, and E
    The Balkan Vlachs/Aromanians Awakening, National Policies, Assimilation Miroslav Ruzica Preface The collapse of communism, and especially the EU human rights and minority policy programs, have recently re-opened the ‘Vlach/Aromanian question’ in the Balkans. The EC’s Report on Aromanians (ADOC 7728) and its separate Recommendation 1333 have become the framework for the Vlachs/Aromanians throughout the region and in the diaspora to start creating programs and networks, and to advocate and shape their ethnic, cultural, and linguistic identity and rights.1 The Vlach/Aromanian revival has brought a lot of new and reopened some old controversies. A increasing number of their leaders in Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Albania advocate that the Vlachs/Aromanians are actually Romanians and that Romania is their mother country, Romanian language and orthography their standard. Such a claim has been officially supported by the Romanian establishment and scholars. The opposite claim comes from Greece and argues that Vlachs/Aromanians are Greek and of the Greek culture. Both countries have their interpretations of the Vlach origin and history and directly apply pressure to the Balkan Vlachs to accept these identities on offer, and also seek their support and political patronage. Only a minority of the Vlachs, both in the Balkans and especially in the diaspora, believes in their own identity or that their specific vernaculars should be standardized, and that their culture has its own specific elements in which even their religious practice is somehow distinct. The recent wars for Yugoslav succession have renewed some old disputes. Parts of Croatian historiography claim that the Serbs in Croatia (and Bosnia) are mainly of Vlach origin, i.e.

  • The Differential Impact of War and Trauma on Kosovar Albanian Women Living in Post-War Kosova
    The Differential Impact of War and Trauma on Kosovar Albanian Women Living in Post-War Kosova Hanna Kienzler Department of Anthropology McGill University, Montreal June 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © 2010 Hanna Kienzler Abstract The war in Kosova had a profound impact on the lives of the civilian population and was a major cause of material destruction, disintegration of social fabrics and ill health. Throughout 1998 and 1999, the number of killings is estimated to be 10,000 with the majority of the victims being Kosovar Albanian killed by Serbian forces. An additional 863,000 civilians sought or were forced into refuge outside Kosova and 590,000 were internally displaced. Moreover, rape and torture, looting, pillaging and extortion were committed. The aim of my dissertation is to rewrite aspects of the recent belligerent history of Kosova with a focus on how history is created and transformed through bodily expressions of distress. The ethnographic study was conducted in two Kosovar villages that were hit especially hard during the war. In both villages, my research was based on participant observation which allowed me to immerse myself in Kosovar culture and the daily activities of the people under study. The dissertation is divided into four interrelated parts.The first part is based on published accounts describing how various external power regimes affected local Kosovar culture, and how the latter was continuously transformed by the local population throughout history. The second part focuses on collective memories and explores how villagers construct their community‟s past in order to give meaning to their everyday lives in a time of political and economic upheaval.

Year III, Vol. 4 Scientific polemics pp. 121-141 Momčilo Subotić1 Institute for Political Studies, Belgrade The Renewal of Serbistics Introduction It is known, from the researches conducted by many public opinion agencies, that most Serbs and other citizens of Serbia are inclined to- wards Serbia’s accession to the European Union. However, things have gone a step backwards today compared to the nineties; no one in the Serbian politics, or in the key national institutions, such as the SANU (Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts), Matica srpska and others, is even trying to conduct the analyses of Serbian defeats, to face the wrong ideas of Yugoslavism and Yugoslav politics and state. Without scientifically based and critical analyses of the status of Serbian nation and its state’s state constituencies, no further European integrations are possible. In other words, until the time when the Serbian political and intellectual leadership is finished with the Yugoslav era of its history, and realize and correct all the historical forgeries and counterfeits it was based on, the European integrations on an equal basis and by Eu- ropean standards will not happen. It is likely that the Serbian leader- ship, for the umpteenth time in the recent history, cannot overcome the excess history which, in the Balkan’s „barrel of gun-powder“ has always been too much. The Serbs have to answer the question of what happened to the Ser- bian national identity in the Yugoslav state to themselves first; do the European standards for entering „the family“ of the European nations, based on the linguistic definition of a nation, also stand for the Serbian people, being multi-confessional such as some other European nations (Germans, Hungarians, Аlbanians etc.).
