Geography and Nationalist Visions of Interwar Yugoslavia Introduction

Geography and Nationalist Visions of Interwar Yugoslavia : Introduction [By pointing to an uncertainty regarding some of the fundamental markers of Yugoslavia’s statehood following its establishment in December 1918, this chapter argues that geography became so publicly prominent because geographers devised what seemed to be a unifying narrative framework that promised to bring together the past, present, and future of Yugoslavia and its constitutive ethnic groups—Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes.

Finally, it examines the nation as an inherently spatial category, and outlines the methodological approaches of the study.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[By pointing to an uncertainty regarding some of the fundamental markers of Yugoslavia’s statehood following its establishment in December 1918, this chapter argues that geography became so publicly prominent because geographers devised what seemed to be a unifying narrative framework that promised to bring together the past, present, and future of Yugoslavia and its constitutive ethnic groups—Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The chapter elaborates on the notion of geographical narratives and points to similar political prominence of geographers and their ideas throughout East Central Europe in the interwar period. Finally, it examines the nation as an inherently spatial category, and outlines the methodological approaches of the study.]
