Description
This panel examines how histories, memories, and practices of resistance shape political imaginaries and worldmaking in South East Europe. Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives from political theory, history, and critical sociology, the papers interrogate how states, movements, and communities in the region construct meaning and legitimacy in the face of domination, marginality, and transformation. From the ideological self-narration of past regimes to contemporary struggles over identity, archives, and democracy, the panel traces how alternative visions of the political emerge from sites often considered peripheral. Collectively, the contributions highlight South East Europe as a space where competing projects of power and resistance continually remake both regional and global orders.
