Abstract
AbstractIn this introductory chapter, we propose a comparative model for studying the in-between location of East Central Europe on the cultural, historical, and political map of Europe. To construct this model, we make a critical survey of theoretical frameworks that have been deployed so far and claim that postcolonialism can be used as a hermeneutical device for situating East Central Europe on the global map of (colonial) modernity. Analysing the approaches developed in studies on the region, we discuss the shortcomings of using postcolonialism for claiming the postcolonial status for the region.
