Between Balkanism and Orientalism: British Imaginative

英国与巴尔干半岛的文化接触，由希腊独立战争（1821-29）开始，并继续到巴尔干半岛的路线难民危机（2015年至今），产生了该地区的文学/视觉表现语料库。本研究探讨了这些材料中发现的巴尔干半岛的穆斯林的矛盾表示，因为，模糊基督教欧洲和伊斯兰教东方之间的对立，他们与阿拉伯之夜（特雷弗，1913年：78）和欧洲的熟悉（Glenny，1996年：139）的异国情调。它强调了欧洲的文化/政治因素如何改变巴尔干半岛的穆斯林的形象，从而说明了欧洲不断变化的地理文化边界，并询问这些代表支持什么样的政治/经济利益。

British cultural engagement with the Balkans, initiated by the Greek War of Independence (1821-29) and continuing to the Balkan route refugee crisis (2015-present), has produced a corpus of literary/visual representations of the region. This study examines contradictory representations of Balkan Muslims found within these materials, as, blurring the opposition between Christian Europe and the Islamic Orient, they were associated with both the exoticism of Arabian Nights (Trevor, 1913: 78) and European familiarity (Glenny, 1996: 139). It highlights how European cultural/political factors altered images of Balkan Muslims, thus illustrating Europe's shifting geo-cultural boundaries, and asks what political/economic interests these representations support.
