Description The Matica and Beyond is a comparative study of the cultural associations established to further national movements in nineteenth-century Europe by publishing literary and scientific texts in the national language.
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, Roisín Higgins, Alfonso Iglesias Amorín, Dagmar Kroanová, Joep Leerssen, Marion Löffler, Philippe Martel, Alexei Miller, Xosé M.
