  • The Formation of Croatian National Identity
    bellamy [22.5].jkt 21/8/03 4:43 pm Page 1 Europeinchange E K T C The formation of Croatian national identity ✭ This volume assesses the formation of Croatian national identity in the 1990s. It develops a novel framework that calls both primordialist and modernist approaches to nationalism and national identity into question before applying that framework to Croatia. In doing so it not only provides a new way of thinking about how national identity is formed and why it is so important but also closely examines 1990s Croatia in a unique way. An explanation of how Croatian national identity was formed in an abstract way by a historical narrative that traces centuries of yearning for a national state is given. The book goes on to show how the government, opposition parties, dissident intellectuals and diaspora change change groups offered alternative accounts of this narrative in order to The formation legitimise contemporary political programmes based on different visions of national identity. It then looks at how these debates were in manifested in social activities as diverse as football and religion, in of Croatian economics and language. ✭ This volume marks an important contribution to both the way we national identity bellamy study nationalism and national identity and our understanding of post-Yugoslav politics and society.

ARCHITECTURAL WORK OF ALEKSANDAR DEROKO – BEAUTY OF EMOTIONAL CREATIVITY A B S T R A C T This paper studies significant and forgotten, but not less important, built and unrealised designs by Serbian architect Aleksandar Deroko. It seeks to achieve a continuous view in dealing with Deroko`s architectural work versus the historical discontinuity of political, territorial-geographic and social circumstances. It is impossible to separate Deroko as an architect from Deroko as a scholar, researcher, historian of architecture and art, an academic professor, painter, artist, writer, chronicler of his time, protector, conservator and historiographer of Serbian cultural heritage. The main aim of this paper is to apply comprehensive research approach within which his work in the field of architectural design will be considered in a complementary and pluralistic way. Deroko’s architectural projects examined in their details and altogether represent distillate of Deroko’s erudite personality, which casts shadow on relevant questions of Serbian history of architecture placement: How to understand it, observe and examine it, from Yugoslav or Serbian perspective, from the position of continuity or discontinuity, through characteristics of general or particular?

  • Universe and Inner Self in Early Indian and Early Greek Thought
    UNIVERSE AND INNER SELF IN EARLY INDIAN INDIAN AND INNER SELF IN EARLY UNIVERSE ‘The philosophical traditions of Greece and India are divergent but also GREEK THOUGHT AND EARLY show striking convergences. This book is an important and valuable contribution to the comparative study of the two ancient cultures. The various chapters are learned and sophisticated and considerably enrich our understanding of Greek and Indian philosophy.’ Phiroze Vasunia, University College London How can we explain the remarkable similarities between early Indian and early Greek philosophy? UNIVERSE AND Around the middle of the first millennium BCE there occurred a revolution in thought, with novel ideas such as that understanding the inner self is both vital for human well-being and central to understanding INNER SELF the universe. This intellectual transformation is sometimes called the beginning of philosophy. The revolution occurred in both India and Greece, but not in the vast Persian Empire that divided them. How was IN EARLY INDIAN this possible? This is a puzzle that has never been solved. This volume brings together Hellenists and Indologists representing AND EARLY GREEK a variety of perspectives on the similarities and differences between the two cultures, and on how to explain them. It offers a collaborative Richard Seaford Richard THOUGHT contribution to the burgeoning interest in the Axial Age, and is of interest to those intrigued by the big questions inspired by the ancient world. by Edited Richard Seaford is Emeritus Professor of Ancient Greek at the University of Exeter.

    Dušan T. Batakovič Serbia and Greece in the First World War: An Overview I Serbia and Greece had established a close political cooperation al­ ready in the second half of the nineteenth century, in order to foster the common struggle against the Ottoman rule in the Balkans. The first al­ liance treaty, within the context of the broader Balkan alliance, was signed in 1867, followed by the military convention in 1868. Although there was no immediate military outcome of this treaty, due to the assas­ sination of the Balkan alliance architect, Prince Michael Obrenovič in June 1868, its existence was highlighting the long-term commitment of both Greece and Serbia for the coordinating efforts to fight Ottomans1. It was only in 1912, through second Balkan alliance, that both Serbia and Greece were able to fulfill their political goals by military means. However, the First Balkan War started without a signed political treaty, regulating bilateral obligations between Serbia and Greece. After they gained a common frontier in Macedonia, Serbia and Greece have signed a defensive alliance treaty and a military convention in June 1913, prior to the Second Balkan War12. The Serbian-Greek treaty aimed, in the first place, to maintain the new Balkan settlement by implementing the decisions of the Bucharest Treaty. In case of Bulgarian 1. D.

The Treaty of Alliance was signed by diplomats Jean Alexandropoulos, GreeK Minister in Belgrade and Mateja Boškovič, Serbian Minister in Athens, while the Military convention was signed by captain of the Greek General Staff Xenophon Stratigos, and the Serbian colonels Petar Pešič and Dušan Tufegdžič.

    Digitized by the Internet Arciiive in 2008 witii funding from IVIicrosoft Corporation Iittp://www.archive.org/details/birthofyugoslavi01baeruoft THE BIRTH OF YUGOSLAVIA >-v-..v THE BIRTH OF YUGOSLAVIA BY HENRY BAERLEIN VOLUME I LONDON LEONARD PARSONS DEVONSHIRE STREET First Published ig22 {All Rights Reserved] PRINTS \ 3U Leonard Parsons Ltd, Portions of this book which deal with Yugoslav- Albanian affairs have appeared in the Fortnightly Review and, expanded from there, in a volume entitled A Diffiadt Frontier, NAMES AND PRONUNCIATION The original Serbo-Croat names of the Dalmatian towns and islands have been commonly supplanted on the German-made maps by later Italian names. But as the older ones are those which are at present used in daily speech by the vast majority of the inhabitants, we shall not be accused of pedanticism or of political bias if we prefer them to the later versions. We therefore in this book do not speak of Fiume but of Rieka, not of Cattaro but of Kotor, and so forth. In other parts a greater laxity is permissible, since no false impression is conveyed by using the non-Slav version. Thus we have preferred the more habitual Belgrade to the more correct Beograd, and the Italian Scutari to the Albanian Shqodra. The Yugoslavs themselves are too deferential towards the foreign nomenclature of their towns. Thus if one of them is talking to you of Novi Sad he will almost in- variably add, until it grows rather wearisome, the German and the Magyar forms : Neu Satz and Uj Videk. These names and those of persons have been generally spelt in accordance with Croat orthography—that is to say, with the Latin alphabet modified in order to re- produce all the sounds of the Serbo-Croatian language.
