Discursul intelectualilor central-europeni.

Reflectare poliedrică

Abstract

Mitteleuropa primarily points to a variable geographic space, which has stirred different debates on the geographic and geopolitical status of this specific area. The Central Europe concept has been used for a long time, being either neglected or, on the contrary, frequently assumed as a focal point structuring the identity discourse voiced out by Mitteleuropa’ intellectuals who, be they dissidents or in exile, have spoken their opinions about their representative nations caught between different historical movement influencing the above mentioned geographical area. Once the time has passed, the identity discourse itself has changed to turn Central Europe into a genuine forma mentis, always omnipresent within the conscience of its intellectuals.
