These travel accounts have played a significant role in the formation of \u201cmental maps\u201d as scholars have demonstrated with regard to notions of \u201cEastern Europe\u201d (Wolff) and collective imaginations of the \u201cBalkans\u201d (Todorova) as well as cultural constructions of \u201cEurope\u201d more generally. Recent scholarship has drawn attention to dynamic identity formations in the context of these encounters and, more specifically, the role of perceptions of Europe from alternate viewpoints. While the perception of Germany in Russia has been studied (e.g. Kopelew), the perspectives from south eastern directions have received less scholarly attention so far. This evening lecture will discuss perceptions of Western and Central Europe and specifically perceptions of South European states in the eyes of travellers from Asia Minor or the Ottoman Empire.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\/\/ Prof. Dr. Wendy Bracewell (UC London) &amp; Leyla von Mende (University of Jena)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>28.01.2020<\/p>\n<p>18:00 bis 20:00<\/p>\n<p>Phil I, GCSC, R.001<\/p>\n<p><strong>Justus-Liebig-Universit\u00e4t Gie\u00dfen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-giessen.de\/ueber-uns\/veranstaltungen\/vortraege\/gcsc-ggk-lecture-wendy-bracewell-leyla-von-mende-in-sights-on-europe-from-the-near-east\">https:\/\/www.uni-giessen.de\/ueber-uns\/veranstaltungen\/vortraege\/gcsc-ggk-lecture-wendy-bracewell-leyla-von-mende-in-sights-on-europe-from-the-near-east<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bracewell_uskoci.jpg?fit=400%2C285&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52688,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52688","url_meta":{"origin":18845,"position":0},"title":"Eleonora Naxidou and Yura Konstantinova \u201eBalkan Perspectives of Europe: Between East and West\u201c","author":"Filip \u0160imunjak","date":"28. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"Through the lens of the Balkan nations, this volume makes a valuable and significant contribution to the fields of European and Southeast European studies by reconsidering the East\/West dichotomy \u2013 both in terms of the Orient\u2013Occident divide and the Eastern\u2013Western Europe binary.
