Research Spotlight: Revenant Project-Revivals of Empire
In this episode of the CEU Review of Books podcast host, Andrea Talabér (Managing Editor) is joined by three members of the the ERC-funded project Revenant - Revivals of Empire: Nostalgia, Amnesia, Tribulation project: Jeremy F. Walton, the PI; Kevin Kenjar, a post-doctoral researcher and Matea Magdić, a PhD Researcher on the project.
Revenant examines how in Central Europe, the Balkans, and in the Middle East bygone imperial projects are increasingly inseparable from contemporary political, social, and cultural life. In the podcast we discussed various aspects of imperial and post-imperial memory from a famous street corner in Sarajevo, to Croatian literature to a largely forgotten Arctic expedition, and also put the coloniality and post-coloniality of the three empires – Habsburg, Ottoman, Romanov – under the microscope.
To find out more about the Revenant project visit the website.
Jeremy (jeremy.walton@ffri.uniri.hr), Kevin (kevin.kenjar@ffri.uniri.hr) and Matea (matea.magdic@ffri.uniri.hr) are also happy to hear from anyone interested in the project and in their own research topics.
If you are interested in the documentary based on the project, please email Jeremy for the link.
As part of the project, the 2024 Postcolonial, Decolonial, Postimperial, Deimperial conference was held in Rijeka. You can watch the keynotes by Maria Todorova here and by Madina Tlostanova here.
You can also follow the project on Bluesky and on Facebook.
