The Balkan Studies: History, Post-Colonialism and Critical Regionalism

Dunja Njaradi

Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, 2012, vol. 20, issue 2-3, 185-201

Abstract: This article will give an overview of the 20 years of the so-called Balkan studies – a corpus of area studies that, in methodological terms, most fruitfully adopted, altered and debated Said’s analysis of Orientalism. The article will single out and discuss two conflicting approaches to the study of the Balkans: the Balkans as the post-colonial space favoured by philosophers and literary critics, and the more historical approaches developed by the historians of the region and the Ottoman Empire. The article will emphasize some new developments in Ottoman historiography and post-colonial studies and their significance for the Balkan studies.
