  Cinema in the Balkans today and yesterady

  Numéro spécial de la revue Cahiers Pierre Belon / Études balkaniques

  Ce numéro se propose de dresser un état des lieux de la création cinématographique dans les Balkans. La bibliographie notamment en langue française porte principalement sur des cinématographies nationales ou sur les cinéastes des pays balkaniques qui ont acquis une reconnaissance internationale (comme L. Pintilie, Th. Angelopoulos ou E. Kusturica). Les approches à l’échelle des Balkans sont plus rares. Pourtant, le récent succès remporté à l’exportation par des cinéastes roumains, grecs, turcs ou bulgares invite à inscrire leur œuvre dans une profondeur historique souvent éludée pour en dégager les principaux enjeux thématiques, économiques et esthétiques.

  Co-Ethnics as Unwanted Others

  Intra-Group Tensions After the Fall of Communism: Causes, Consequences, and Contexts

  Much has been written about the intricacies of acceptance and integration of immigrants who are racial, ethnic and/or confessional ‘others’ in relation to host populations. There are many examples of co-ethnics’ interaction which are overtly or latently accompanied by intra-group conflict, tension and misunderstanding, but academic coverage of co-ethnics’ encounters is far less ‘mature’ in terms of conceptualization, and literature devoted to these issues is far less abundant. The pattern of peoples' interaction being studied is usually a result of various kinds of population movement provoked by serious socio-political cataclysms in the 20^th and 21^st centuries, including the collapse of multi-national states and the intensification of labor migration resulting from post-socialist economic transformation. Our aim is to bring together international scholars who could present results of their latest research on these topics, preferably from a comparative and/or micro-level perspective.
