Balkan-ness in transition: Cliches vs. Varieties in the Yugosphere

Dear Friends and Colleagues,


We kindly invite you to our gathering aimed at discussing the cultural phenomena from the ex-Yugoslavian countries complemented with a Balkan food&drinks exchange buffet and unplugged background music.

We will reflect on the topics of cliches and varieties and the process of transition as manifested in the contemporary political, social and cultural spheres.
