Globalization of identity in the delayed transition: Notions about Europe and Serbia among students in Belgrade

Abstract

Together with appreciable inheritance of ethno-centric discourses about Europe and a lack of clear public communication about European integrations Serbia, largely gripped by the process of globalization and irreversible reforms of social system, is constituting its cultural identity in the light of new relations in Europe. The content of cultural notions about Serbia and Europe that Belgrade students have can point to the direction, dynamics and perception of Europe and symbolic self-constituting of our society in the wider framework.
