K. Giorgi

Emotions, Language and Identity on the Margins of Europe

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When a word describing an emotion is said to be untranslatable, is that emotion untranslatable also? This unique study focuses on three word-concepts on the periphery of Europe, providing a wide-ranging survey of national identity and cultural essentialism, nostalgia, melancholy and fatalism, the production of memory and the politics of hope.
