Cultural and Social Representations on the Border: From Disagreement to Coexistence

Abstract

Cultural and Social Representations on the Border: From Disagreement to Coexistence In the twentieth century, certain locations, symbols, and ritual practices along the Italian-Slovenian border were subject to various social and cultural representations. During that century, they primarily represented a subject of disagreement between both ethnic communities; however, in the last ten years, some groups and local authorities have been seeking opportunities to live together in coexistence.
