Some Call Us Balkans

Some Call Us Balkans is a digital platform dedicated to exploring the cultural, historical, and social complexities of the Balkans region through various media forms including storytelling, essays, photography, and interviews. The website addresses themes such as identity, migration, memory, and the post-conflict realities that shape contemporary life in the region. It situates the Balkans within broader geopolitical and cultural frameworks while foregrounding local voices and experiences that challenge monolithic or stereotypical narratives about the area. The content on the site reflects a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from history, anthropology, literature, and art to provide nuanced perspectives on the Balkans. Frequent contributions come from academics, artists, journalists, and local inhabitants, highlighting the diversity of thought and lived realities within the region. This approach encourages critical engagement with the Balkans, emphasizing both its contested legacies and ongoing transformations in a globalized context.

conspectus

A place to gaze. Conspectuses are viewpoints where the terrain opens itself naturally to the viewer, where the eye can thread in and out of the circle of hills, and names suggest a narrative sequence offering the possibility of beginning to know where you are. Traditional conspectus include suidhe (Gaelic, seat), used to view hunting.
