I don't really understand why such a conversation is going on on this list
but i guess the only art and ideas i can see are those of the geographer
Jovan Cvijic who played such a crucial part in legitimizing serbia and
consequently Yugolslavian claims on Macedonia through his maps of 1906,
1909, 1913 and 1918, all of which were celebrated at the peace conference at
the time. However, like most things in life he was a little bit biased and
so the story becomes written and drawn as fact with all the messes that this
has created. The final boundaries agreed at paris refelct the power poltics
in the region in the first half of the century as interpreted and promoted
by a geographer, his maps and ideas. Not any natural devolopment of
identities or rightful claims to land. Just drawings and ideas.
Now any chance for some artistic discussion ???
