Imotska krajina je područje u sjeveroistočnom dijelu Splitsko-dalmatinske županije, površine 708,34 km². Čini je devet općina i grad Imotski. Na zapadu graniči sa sinjskom i omiškom, a na istoku s vrgoračkom krajinom. Na jugozapadu planinski masiv Biokova odvaja ovaj kraj od primorja, a na sjeveru i sjeveroistoku on dodiruje granicu s Bosnom i Hercegovinom. Većim svojim dijelom je to krško područje s brdima, udolinama i krševitim zaravnima. Najvažniji i najprepoznatljiviji dio krajine je plodno Imotsko polje bogato vodom i rijekom Vrljikom koja nikad ne presušuje. Većim dijelom krajina je na nižim nadmorskim visinama s ugodnom mediteranskom klimom, što je čini pogodnom za život. Naseljena je još od mlađeg kamenog doba, o čemu svjedoče brojna arheološka nalazišta (Grabovac, Vinjani, Slivno, okolica Imotskog). Ilirsko pleme Dalmati spominje se kao prvi poznati narod koji je nastanjivao ovo područje. O tom ratobornom plemenu arheološki nalazi su iz Prološca, Grabovca, Imotskog, Postranja (ostaci oružja i oruđa, nakita i ukrasa), naročito u kamenim gromilama nad grobištima, ponegdje i cijelim grobljima, kao u Postranju. Nakon Ilira, koji su preko dva stoljeća ratovali s Rimljanima i pretrpili vojni poraz, ovim područjem vlada Rimsko Carstvo. [...]

Design Dispersed pursues the complex and heterogeneous connections between migration and design in the 20th and 21st centuries. The edited volume gathers contributions by international researchers and curators on the question of how design practices and (historical) objects articulate, respond to and critically reflect on migration, flight and displacement: Besides a collage which highlights the aesthetic effects resulting from the networking, overlapping and mixing of forms, another strand of the book looks at the political and social dimensions of design. How are design objects material modes of a critical inquiry on movements of people and things? What role do object trajectories play in the émigré movements of the 1930s and 1940s? Other texts follow the question of how migrants and refugees form their experience and political fight for acceptance into design and architectural productions. A final essay contributes to wordings and projections - what vocabulary do we need in order to adequately think and write about a design dispersed?

Since 2008, Greece has been at the centre of European current affairs due to the financial and economic crisis. However, it should not be forgotten that before the current crisis the political upheavals of the early 1990s and the collapse of Marxist-inspired regimes had already radically transformed the face of the country. These transformations have been seen as a return of the Balkans' question, raising issues of border disputes and migration, minorities and national inclusion. They have had far-reaching consequences on the relations between Greek society and its peripheries, and what some have deemed to be its destabilising diversity. In this context, the material presented in this book examines the strengthening of discourses of belonging which draw legitimacy from a glorification of the past and tradition. The fieldwork carried out over the past 15 years on the fringes of Greece has focused on groups who were stigmatised and distanced from standard definitions of Greekness. It provides an original perspective on the changes that the country has undergone in recent decades. The question of the nation-state's future is raised through close observation on the local scale, leading to a debate about the relationship between areal and reticular territory within the framework of globalisation. This book also aims to provide non-Francophone readers with access to research carried out on these issues in France, shifting the focus of Balkan Anglophone specialists for whom French publications remain a distant province.
