Since the 19th century, nation-building processes have been accompanied by imaginations of supposedly distinctive, deeply rooted and historically stable concepts of ethnicity. This applies not only, but especially, to Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, with its rich history of national and territorial transformations. Concepts of ethnic, respectively national identity were grounded in sometimes exotic theories of origin and persistence that oscillated
between academic scholarship and myth-making.
The GWZO annual conference 2024 explores the appropriations and modifications of myths of the past with particular reference to current revivals, while at the same time taking a historical perspective. It draws on the broad spectrum of disciplines represented at the GWZO – from history and archaeology to art and architectural history, ethnology and
literature – to gain a multifaceted understanding based on interdisciplinary research.
