Papers
Fragmented Worlds – Fragmented Identities: Destruction as a Tool for Politicized Uses of Marginal Identities in Goytisolo’s Narratives
This paper has two central aims. In the first place, to analyze to what extend the non-lieu created in Goytisolo’s novel could be seen as a new European lieu de mémoire, a place that creates a European memory. And, in the second place, to answer the question whether and to what extent the destruction serves as a tool for politicized uses of marginal identities.
From Brotherness to Otherness. Contemplations of Linguistic and Social Identity in Contemporary Slovenian Literature
The analysis demonstrates how language in this novel is first and foremost used as a tool of exclusion and therefore enables individuals to form groups by deciding whom to identify with and include and whom to exclude and differ from. Furthermore the impact of claimed and manifested identity is shown through the narration of failed linguistic integration.

Or ‘The Others’ in Yael Dayans’ Prose
This lecture shall outline how the interactions of gender and various kinds of ‘otherness’ - intrinsic to the literary work of Yael Dayan - can promote particular performances and conceptions of Jewish as well as national (Israeli) constructions of identity.
Witchcraft, Female Identities and Cultural Framework: A Contribution in the Blackout of Women Past
By exploring the identities and the social roles of the gender in reality we examine how people, men and women, experience life in specific social and cultural contexts. The meanings, which are associated with gender and identities, eventually shape an understanding of the world and produce ideology.
Identity Transfers Between Artists Figures and Music Signifiers. A Socio-musical Study of the Creation of Stars in Popular Music
Abstract: Most researchers working on the cultural industries have stated that the field is characterized by a tight control of the marketing and distribution phases of production and a loose control of the creation phases, concluding in low (if any) phenomenon of creation's determination by marketing (Hesmondhalgh, 2007). This communication aims to question this statement focusing on the identity relations between the figure of stars and their music in the popular music sphere. In popular music, the singer is himself an important part of the song he sings, alongside lyricsThe EU – Offering a Gap in the Structure
The narratives of those who experience such ‘self’ can offer insight into how such resource is used to chart one’s life course. Moreover such success stories may initiate a systemic change particularly as they can counteract incidents of resurfacing identity politics (as triggered for example by the Eurozone crisis).
Norms and Identity in Kosovo. The Troubled Relationship
Relying mostly on fieldwork research, the article aims to explore the relation between those challenges and the principles of ‘territorial integrity’, ‘indivisibility’ and ‘inalienability’ mentioned in the Kosovo constitution.
Identity and Civilian Missions: Is there Such a Thing? The Case of EULEX-Kosovo
The argument of this paper is that identity is of utmost importance for systems of sub-systems of international organizations, as it is for human beings and/or groups, for enabling the system to move smoothly in its environment while accomplishing its duties and achieving its goals.
The Politics of Kosovo Mythology in Serbian National Ideology
This paper focuses on those motifs of medieval Kosovo, which portray the impact of mythology on Serbian national identity today. To illustrate the presence of Kosovo reference in contemporary Serbian cultural canon I focus on most popular texts, such as are feature films and nationalistic pop-folk songs.
