Abstract
Language issues in former Yugoslav space: Current perspectives
Highlights
Embarking on a special issue on former Yugoslavia is no mean task for any journal, as it involves taking into consideration the many, significant contributions of scholars over the last three-odd decades
Historians, geographers, and anthropologists, scholars have succeeded in offering a kaleidoscopic account spanning over periods of peace and warfare, which, combined with official policy-making texts give a much more comprehensive picture of the linguistic state of affairs in the former Yugoslav lands today than are available for most other polities
There is little doubt that former Yugoslavia and the successor states have often attracted the “pornographic gaze” of international journalism and scholarship, it is certain that, in the long run, this has had some serious consequences: today it takes serious professional engagement to talk about either Yugoslavia or the successor states –it is not exactly a topic allowing for dabbling, either locally or, what is worse, internationally
