EUROPA CENTRALĂ ŞI DE SUD-EST: CONCEPTE, TEORII, DEPARTAJĂRI

Abstract

Definirea spaţiului est-central european a cunoscut, în funcţie de perioade, şcoli, afinităţi politice, etnicităţi, religie sau identităţi culturale, multiple variaţiuni. Dar, mai ales acum, la începutul noului mileniu, problematica definirii – redefinirii spaţiilor (cu predilecţie europene!) poate fi un exerciţiu extrem de util pentru înţelegerea mecanismelor care au jucat roluri decisive, au impus modele sau, dimpotrivă, au marcat diferenţele de-a lungul istoriei.CENTRAL AND SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE: CONCEPTS, THEORIES, DEFINITIONS Defining Eastern Central European space known by periods, schools, political affinity, ethnicity, religion or cultural identities, multiple variations. But especially now, at the beginning of the new millennium, the defining issue - redefining spaces (with European predilection!) Can be an extremely useful exercise for understanding the mechanisms that played a decisive role, they imposed models or, conversely, marked differences de- history.
