Project within the CRC 923
Project G03: A ‘genealogy of hybridity’. The Threatened Orders of the multicultural Istrian peninsula (1970 - 2013)
Project G03 investigates the history of “hybridism”, a category of order first described by Austro-Hungarian researchers at the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries using Istria as a model case (as described in the 2nd period of funding). In the wake of the threatening disintegration of Yugoslavia, the regional order of the multilingual and multicultural peninsula has been redefined several times with reference to older experiences. Project G03 will develop a genealogy of hybridity based on the lessons of the Istrian laboratory.
Research interests:
- Microhistory of Yugoslavia and Croatia in the 20th century
- Regional history of Yugoslavia and Croatia in the 20th century
- Cultural history of Yugoslavia and Croatia in the 20th century
