Vol. 24 (2024): Cultural Resources: Immobility – Transfer, Milling – Revival

This volume is devoted to various forms of exploitation of the cultural resources within the multilingual area of Central and South-Eastern Europe. The key concepts that build up the oppositions immobility – transfer and milling – revival can also be imagined as entering into other coincidences: immobility – milling, transfer – revival, etc. The perspective is given by a book by Wojciech Burszta The World as a Prison of Culture (2008).
