seeFField is an Area Studies initiative aiming at strengthening Southeast European Studies in Regensburg. Our goal is to teach and do research about the region together with scholars and partners in the region.

The project’s duration is 7 years (2022-2029) and is financed by the Volkswagen Foundation, with additional funding from the Universität Regensburg and the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS).

Rat se opet vratio
Rat u Ukrajini probudio je sjećanja na ratove u bivšoj Jugoslaviji; i u meni, jer sam bio u Jugoslaviji kad su počeli ratovi. U ožujku 2022., samo dvanaest dana nakon početka ruske invazije, primio sam telefonski poziv od Pavla, starog prijatelja iz davnih dana, kao da se duh iz prošlosti vratio da mi kaže: “Bok, rat se opet vratio!"...

read articleImages on this website
The photographic banner images used on this website are the work of Romanian artist and photographer Iosif Király. They are part of the ongoing Reconstructions series, which Király started in the early 2000s. The panoramic images are stitched together from a number of photos taken at a particular location over shorter or longer intervals. Showing changeable landscapes, inhabited by people and the photographer himself, the images are suggestive of the dynamic transformations in the region. In the midst of these rapid changes, one can also notice the subjective perceptions, memories and nostalgia for what was lost. To see more of his work go to: https://www.lensculture.com/iosif-kiraly
