Dall’etnia alla società. Una veloce circumnavigazione dei mutamenti della storiografia lituana dalla Perestrojka ai giorni nostri

Abstract

Perennialism and ethnocentrism have been two of the dominant features of Lithuanian historical narratives throughout the 20th Century. Over the last thirty years, however, civic nationalism-inspired concepts have increasingly challenged the dominance of ethnicity in historical writing. The article investigates how these two opposite metanarratives actively contributed to the consolidation of two opposite models of citizenship in post-soviet Lithuania entailing two different approaches to the state, the nation, and Europe.
