| Summary: | The paper outlines how the portrayal of “us” and “them” changed during the interwar period in
the relational web from Prague to Bucharest. The collapse of the Monarchy had shaken some of
the foundations of national self-perceptions and brought to the fore hitherto insignificant groups
either as active protagonists of politics of identity or as significant others. Nevertheless, the old
representations of each other had changed less markedly. The real novelty of the period was that
the appearance of Hungarian minorities and their politics of identity enabled the creation of some
temporary group constructs that transcended traditional ethnic boundaries and redefined ethnicity
on a more region-centred basis. |
