U radu se promišljaju reprezentacije Balkana kroz analizu lika žene-mačke u specifičnim izričajima popularne kulture: filmskim ostvarenjima Vala Lewtona i Jacquesa Tourneura te raznolikim umjetničkim izričajima domaćih autora. Film Ljudi mačke iz 1942. godine, koji reprezentira opskurnu slika Balkana stigmatiziranu motivom kulturne rudimentarnosti, ujedno je i inspiracija indigenim umjetničkim ostvarenjima koja ironično eksperimentiraju stereotipnim animalnim predodžbama Balkana. Ontološka ambivalentnost koju evocira lik žene-mačke u navedenim ostvarenjima omogućuje promišljanje odnosa prostorne i temporalne podvojenosti Balkana analizom rodnih, političkih i klasnih aspekata.

Legends of various invaders that threatened the island of Lastovo were revived during carnival festivities. Although the carnival practice relects the status of an individual in the community, social rules and relationships among islanders, it also relects various representations of the past and imagery of invaders. Based on the author’s personal participation in the Lastovo carnival festivities and archive research, this paper focuses on imagery of a carnival igure. Moro, Poklad or the Turk, as the islanders refer to it, relects popular perceptions of the Muslim invaders created during the Ottoman domination in the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. Emphasising the complexity of the relationship between textual reconstruction
and performative re-enactment, the author reveals multilayered interpretations and cultural imaginings of the Ottomans as the Other.

The aim of the paper is to analyze the monument to the Peasant Revolt and Matija Gubec in Gornja Stubica as materialised memory of the past constructed in relation to present-day circumstances. The monument is approached through the prism of people who use it and bring it to life in diverse ways, with the emphasis on their cultural practices and performances in the memorial space. Out of a number of potential approaches to the Monument, the authors focus on its two faces, related to two historical moments, but also two different modes of memory. One is connected with the construction of the monument and its commemorative and anniversary usages in socialism. The other is created in the 21st century, when images of the past also become embodied in living history performances.

U radu se analiziraju migracijski procesi na otoku Olibu, koji je veći dio svoje povijesti bio prostorom intenzivnog iseljavanja u prekooceanske zemlje. Poseban naglasak stavljen je na povratne migracije otočana koji nakon višegodišnjeg izbivanja odlučuju svoje umirovljeničke dane provesti na Olibu. Kulturne implikacije povratnih migracija manifestiraju se upisivanjem američkog iskustva povratnika u ruralni prostor dalmatinskog otoka. U kontekstu navedenih promjena, autori propituju različite vizije identiteta otoka: od romantiziranih slika olipske prošlosti do recentnih kulturnih transformacija nastalih kao posljedica migracija. S obzirom na izmijenjenu sliku otočnog identiteta autori propituju poimanje identiteta temeljenog na pripadnosti otoku pri čemu pripadnosti pristupaju u širokom rasponu značenja: od doslovne fizičke pripadnosti do simboličke pripadnosti olipskom društvenom prostoru.

The symbolic meanings of the Balkans overcome the space of political and include associative strings such as liminaliy, incompatibility with the cultural trends of the Occident; narrative of ignorance; discourse on the ethnic and cultural mixture. One of the signs of this diversity reflected on the Balkans, is given the meaning of the disease.
Reports from English, American, French and German diplomats from the nineteenth century to the present day speak of the Balkans as a mixture of nations that produced "racial degeneration," and therefore physical and mental illness. Missionaries, diplomats, policy advisers more than a hundred and fifty years ago noticed that the population of the Balkans "has been mutilated in numerous wars"; people more often than others appear with "natural deformations", such as lack of extremities, micro and hydrocephalus; that giants and dwarves here are more likely to meet here than in other parts of the world. The high mortality and encounter with diseases that are unknown in other parts of the world is attributed to the hybridity of the Balkans, which is in the modern language of globalization the ultimate goal of interculturality.
Arriving in Belgrade, back in 1884. Missionary Alfred Wright wrote that Belgrade is a "market of deformity". This quality comes from the borderline position (Wright, 1884: 15-16). Similar conclusions in the twentieth century can be noticed in travelogues of Captain Malcolm Burr, missionary Francesca Wilson, English writer, Lena Yovichich,

Poštovane kolege,
Pozivamo vas da svojim prilogom učestvujete u izradi zbornika pod naslovom: BOLEST NA BALKANU.
Tema simboličkih, fizičkih i mentalnih bolesti na Balkanu i problem označavanja Balkana kao perifernog, izolovanog područja sa konotacijom „nezdravog“ izabrana je zato što omogućava pristup iz različitih perspektiva: istorijske, etnološke i antropološke, lingvističke, arheološke, filozofske, književno – istorijske, estetske, politikološke, geografske, pravne, medicinske i mnogih drugih.
Iako u brojnim, kamufliranim vidovima, kakva je upotreba geografskih i geo – političkih eufemizama, od Jugoistočne Evrope do Zapadnog Balkana, trend marginalizacije ovog dela Evrope traje i danas. Simbolički aspekt njegove marginalizacije odražava se na politički i stoga, svakodnevni život lјudi koji ga naselјavaju.
