Deadline for abstract submission: 31 Mai 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Southeastern Europe and its local spaces are characterized by an extraordinary diversity. Before the regions of Southeastern Europe began to evolve into distinct nation-states, their historical development over the past centuries was influenced by the structures of the Habsburg Monarchy, the Ottoman Empire, and the Republic of Venice. Considering the migration processes from, into and within Southeastern Europe, these regions can be understood as imperial and nation-state testing grounds for diversity and mixing in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. At the beginning of the twentieth century, they were all part of national spaces and homogenizing paradigms shaped by the nation-state. The diagnoses of Southeastern European regions as pluralistic and mixed are linked to the processes of differentiation and categorization of people on the part of states and governments, but also on the part of local actors in the respective microspaces.<br><br>The discourse about diversity has undergone several social and political transformations since the eighteenth century to the current politics of multiculturalism. The consideration of &#8220;mixing&#8221; as a concept from the sources, can be seen as one of the recent trends in Southeast European studies. The aim of this volume is to reflect on the production and practice of knowledge about cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity and mixing that served as the basis for ordering social life in twentieth-century Southeastern Europe. Special attention will be paid to the categorization and differentiation of &#8220;Germans&#8221; or German-speaking people and the &#8220;in-between spaces&#8221; in language, culture, etc. that are made visible in the process. Collective knowledge is fundamental to the categorization of groups and individuals, while diversity is understood as a translocal existence. Therefore, the planned volume also focuses on processes, relationships and interconnections between local situations in order to identify translocal knowledge transfer regarding diversity and mixing.<br><br>The volume addresses the question of how and by whom categories and differentiations are organized, destabilized, violently reshaped, or suppressed in the twentieth century. It can be asked whether diversity is organized differently by states than by local actors in communities. From this perspective, many practices (and their consequences) can be made visible, such as statistical and ethnographic surveys, cartography, the organization of membership in parties and associations, the negotiation of school language, the invention of terms to describe &#8220;mixed&#8221;\/&#8221;hybrid&#8221; and politically, ethnically, nationally or culturally &#8220;indifferent&#8221; and &#8220;ambiguous&#8221; groups and individuals, etc. Equally important is the analysis of the characteristics of individual and collective participation in social processes and cultural exchange of those people, who were described as \u201cmixed\u201d, in a multicultural environment. The focus can be on specific situations such as public places, city festivals, cultural centers, hospitals, markets, etc.<br>Insights into Southeastern Europe as a macrospace deeply rooted in global discourses are of particular interest for the planned volume. Characterized by migratory flows of people, knowledge, and goods, and by the fragmentation of individual spaces through their shifting political affiliations, Southeastern Europe is a veritable laboratory for the interplay of the global and the local. Symptomatic is the tension between differentiation and hybridization of identities and affiliations at the local level. This volume seeks to provide an overview of the negotiation of diversity and mixing in many of its microspaces and to situate Southeastern Europe within a global narrative. It should serve to shed light on the processes of Europeanization and globalization and the direction of cultural transfers. Cultural practices that contributed to the stabilization of local orders in the twentieth century can be examined for their exemplary role in further research. Obstacles and failures will also be considered. Finally, Southeast European microspaces are viewed as a model for comparison with other microspaces in a global framework.\u00a0<br><br>Contributions are expected on one or more specific micro-spaces in Southeastern Europe, from a singular or comparative perspective. Submitted analyses can be both empirical and theoretical. Perspectives from sociology, history, literature, politics and cultural studies are welcome.<br>Abstracts in English with a maximum length of 300 words should be sent to PD Dr. Daniela Simon (<a href=\"mailto:Daniela.simon@idgl.bwl.de\">Daniela.Simon@idgl.bwl.de<\/a>) by May 31, 2023.

Mai 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>S\u00fcdosteuropa und seine lokalen R\u00e4ume zeichnen sich durch eine au\u00dferordentliche Vielfalt aus. Vor der Etablierung von Nationalstaaten war ihre historische Entwicklung \u00fcberwiegend durch die Strukturen der Habsburgermonarchie, des Osmanischen Reiches und der Republik Venedig gepr\u00e4gt. Mit Blick auf die Migrationsprozesse von, nach und innerhalb S\u00fcdosteuropas k\u00f6nnen diese Regionen als imperiale und nationalstaatliche Experimentierfelder f\u00fcr Vielfalt und Vermischung im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert verstanden werden. Sie alle wurden zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts Teil nationalstaatlich gepr\u00e4gter Homogenisierungsparadigmen. Die Diagnosen \u00fcber die s\u00fcdosteurop\u00e4ischen Regionen als pluralistisch und durchmischt sind mit Prozessen der Differenzierung und Kategorisierung von Menschen auf Seiten der Staaten und Regierungen, aber auch auf Seiten der lokalen Akteure in den jeweiligen Mikror\u00e4umen verbunden.<br><br>Der Diskurs \u00fcber Vielfalt hat seit dem 18. Jahrhundert bis zur heutigen Politik des Multikulturalismus mehrere soziale und politische Ver\u00e4nderungen durchlaufen. Das Konzept der \u201eVermischung\u201c in den Quellen zu untersuchen, kann als einer der j\u00fcngsten Trends in den S\u00fcdosteuropastudien betrachtet werden. Das Ziel dieses Bandes ist es, \u00fcber die Produktion und Praxis von Wissen \u00fcber kulturelle, ethnische und religi\u00f6se Vielfalt und Vermischung nachzudenken, das als Grundlage diente, um das gesellschaftspolitische Leben im S\u00fcdosteuropa des 20. Jahrhunderts zu ordnen. Besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auf die Kategorisierung und Differenzierung von \u201eDeutschen\u201c bzw. deutschsprachigen Menschen und die dadurch sichtbar gemachten \u201eZwischenr\u00e4ume\u201c in Sprache, Kultur etc. gelegt. Kollektives Wissen ist grundlegend f\u00fcr die Kategorisierung von Gruppen und Individuen, w\u00e4hrend Diversit\u00e4t als translokale Existenz aufgefasst werden kann. Daher konzentriert sich der geplante Band auch auf Prozesse, Beziehungen und Verflechtungen zwischen lokalen Situationen, um translokale Wissenstransfers in Bezug auf Diversit\u00e4t und Vermischung zu identifizieren.<br><br>Der geplante Band geht der Frage nach, wie und von wem Kategorien und Unterscheidungen im 20. Jahrhundert mit Bedeutung aufgeladen, organisiert, destabilisiert oder gewaltsam transformiert werden. Aus dieser Perspektive k\u00f6nnen viele Praktiken (und ihre Folgen) sichtbar gemacht werden, z.B. statistische und ethnographische Erhebungen, Kartographie, die Organisation der Mitgliedschaft in Parteien und Vereinen, die Aushandlung der Schulsprache, die Erfindung von Begriffen zur Beschreibung \u201egemischter\u201c\/\u201chybrider\u201c und politisch, ethnisch, national oder kulturell \u201eindifferenter\u201c und \u201euneindeutiger\u201c Gruppen und Individuen etc. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob Vielfalt von Staaten anders organisiert wird als von lokalen Akteuren. Wichtig scheint es, zu analysieren, wie sich die individuelle und kollektive Teilhabe an gesellschaftlichen Prozessen und der kulturelle Austausch von Menschen, die als \u201egemischt\u201c bezeichnet wurden, darstellten. Der Schwerpunkt kann dabei auf bestimmten Situationen liegen, wie z.B. \u00f6ffentlichen Pl\u00e4tzen, Stadtfesten, Kulturzentren, Krankenh\u00e4usern, M\u00e4rkten etc.<br><br>Gepr\u00e4gt von Migrationsstr\u00f6men von Menschen, Wissen und G\u00fctern und der Fragmentierung einzelner R\u00e4ume durch wechselnde politische Zugeh\u00f6rigkeiten, ist S\u00fcdosteuropa ein Laboratorium globaler und lokaler Wechselwirkungen. Symptomatisch ist die Spannung zwischen Differenzierung und Hybridisierung von Identit\u00e4ten und Zugeh\u00f6rigkeiten auf lokaler Ebene. Dieser Band versucht, einen \u00dcberblick \u00fcber die Aushandlung von Vielfalt und Vermischung in mehreren seiner Mikror\u00e4ume zu geben und in globale Narrative einzuordnen. Er soll dazu dienen, Prozesse der Europ\u00e4isierung und Globalisierung sowie die Richtung kultureller Transfers zu beleuchten. Kulturelle Praktiken, die im 20. Jahrhundert zur Stabilisierung lokaler Ordnungen beigetragen haben, k\u00f6nnen in der weiteren Forschung auf ihre Vorbildfunktion hin untersucht werden. Dabei sollen auch Hindernisse und Misserfolge ber\u00fccksichtigt werden. Schlie\u00dflich k\u00f6nnen die s\u00fcdosteurop\u00e4ischen Mikror\u00e4ume f\u00fcr den Vergleich mit anderen Mikror\u00e4umen im globalen Rahmen herangezogen werden.<br><br>Erwartet werden Beitr\u00e4ge, die sich mit einem oder mehreren Mikror\u00e4umen S\u00fcdosteuropas im 20. befassen. Dabei kann eine singul\u00e4re oder vergleichende Perspektive eingenommen werden. Die Aufs\u00e4tze k\u00f6nnen sowohl empirisch als auch theoretisch ausgerichtet sein.
