Beskrivning
Nineteenth-century national movements perceived the nation as a community defined by language, culture and history. Part of the infrastructure to spread this view of the nation were institutions publishing literary and scientific texts in the national language. Starting with the Matica srpska (Pest, 1826), a particular kind of society was established in several parts of the Habsburg Empire inspiring each other, but with often major differences in activities, membership and financing. Outside of the Slavic world analogues institutions played a similar key role in the early stages of national revival in Europe. The Matica and Beyond is the first concerted attempt to comparatively investigate both the specificity and commonality of these cultural associations, bringing together cases from differing regional, political and social circumstances.Contributors are: Daniel Baric, Benjamin Bossaert, Marijan Dovi, Liljana Gushevska, Jörg Hackmann, Roisn Higgins, Alfonso Iglesias Amorn, Dagmar Kroanov, Joep Leerssen, Marion Löffler, Philippe Martel, Alexei Miller, Xos M. Nez Seixas, Iryna Orlevych, Magdalna Pokorn, Milo eznk, Jan Rock, Diliara M. Usmanova, and Zsuzsanna Varga.

"The Matica and Beyond offers a detailed look at the concrete and modest beginnings of the Central European national movements that only took political form as nation-states after 1918 (or in some cases only after 1989). Its comparisons with the experience of marginalized nationalgroups in Britain, France, and Spain are particularly constructive, especially at a time when the future of a unified Europe no longer seems self-evident". Charles Sebaston, in Sciendo 68 (4), 2020. "This volume is important on several different levels. It contributes to the discussion on the history of nationalism in East-Central Europe. It also provides the cases of the other non-dominant national movements across Europe, thus giving the readers a chance to draw comparisons and conclusions themselves. The potential for comparison is, in fact, one of the strongest characteristics of this volume". Duan J. Ljuboja, in Slavonica, 26:1, pp. 80-83. "The Matica and Beyond offers us the opportunity to get better acquainted with the functioning of these institutions in the 19th century when they did play a crucial role in society and thus enables us to reassess their place in contemporary society more objectively and responsibly". Eva Palkoviov, January 2021.
