It deals with mental categories, such as images, perceptions, and attitudes, which the German-speaking subjects of the Holy Empire gradually developed during their increasingly frequent contacts with the Balkans in the period between 1400 and 1600. During that time span the Germans were constructing their own type of negative self-identification that served as a grid through which information about other peoples was processed. The closer definition of that grid and the types of images and attitudes produced by the encounter and bequeathed to modern Germans and, indeed, to the rest of Western Europe is one of the main goals of the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kiril Petkov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631314728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631314722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Kiril Petkov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486961185023,"sku":"9783631314722","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1cac735f-ee98-4820-88d0-aec8994c634c.jpg?v=1778057418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/infidels-turks-and-women-kiril-petkov-9783631314722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
