Recenzii
the book is full of interesting insights into the human condition of multiple identities...
A passionate, poignantly argued, and elegantly written contribution to the ongoing debate on the major cultural and political tensions in post-Cold War Europe. In a remarkably nuanced way, Debeljak proposes an original alternative to both atomizing individualism and stifling collectivism. Lucidly situated between memory and yearning, this book is a thought-provoking manifesto for diversity, tolerance, and an inclusive liberal vision of patriotism.
At once cosmopolitan and impassioned, lucid and lyrical, Ale? Debeljak is the perfect philosopher of the new dispensation. His sense of history is deep and considered, his cultural intuitions are astute, and his balanced prose is a delight. These essays come at us bearing the gifts of educated sensibility.
Ale? Debeljak, one of the leading Central European poets and public intellectuals, gives an intriguing account of the historical and societal forces shaping the cultures of the European East in the context of EU enlargement. But he looks to the future as well, making an original and elegantly wrought plea for concentric circles of identity to encompass the multitude of overlapping identities that is contemporary Europe. Here is that rare bird: a social thinker who writes with passion and panache.
An outward expression of deeply held and felt anxieties concerning how one should try and find their place in the world around them. It is poetry in prose and, as such, a relaxing read that invites each of its readers to look deep inside themselves to discover what Debeljak has already dicovered for himself.
By birth, nationality, and education, no one could be better qualified that the author to discuss the emergence of Slovenian patriotism and nationalism in competition and confrontation with Yugoslavism as nurtured by royal Yugoslavia, Titoism, and their descendents. All of this is masterfully debated, keeping an eye on the long- and short-range historical background, including President Wilson's demolition of Mitteleuropa at Versailles with its many unforseen consequences.
