Animals and the concept of Eastern Europe

“Contemporary idea of Eastern Europe is deeply rooted in the post-war order symbolised by the Iron Curtain. However, a closer look at the early modern concepts of an area known as ‘European Sarmatia’ will reveal an entirely different facet of this region. In my opinion, the key to its understanding lies in images and discriptions of animals, said Prof. Grażyna Jurkowlaniec, an ERC grant laureate.
