Far from limiting ourselves to the only "homo balkanicus", we will attempt to show, through the original theory of Ernest Gellner founded in the janizariat and the concept of castration in his work Nations and Nationalism, as with Georges Orwell and his masterly antitotalitarian fable Animal Farm, and, finally, with Clarissa Henry, Marc Hillel and Léon Poliakov dealing with the abduction of children and the "janizaries of the Third Reich" - that its subject concerns the human in his humanity. |
