Identity and interculturality: Serbia as a place of interweaving of Balkans and (Central) Europe

pages: 217-232

Abstract

This article is an attempt to find a suitable concept for possible reconstruction and integration of various cultural identities, which are diverse and internally layered. The view on issues of identity taken from Serbia - the country in 'transition' faring through different temptations in search for an appropriate identity which could mean a chance for integrity in processes of identity changes - is specific in as much as it could consider itself as a subject of history and not only as 'otherness' designated by other parties. Keywords: identity, interculturality, integration, transformation
