ABSTRACT
Central and Eastern Europe in practice and in discourses are Marchlands. They are disputed borderlands. They lie between Berlin, Vienna, Istanbul and Moscow; between Germany and Germans, Russia and Russians; between Europe and Asia; between West and East and South. Modernity in these Marchlands has been produced as three geo-historical periods, spatial modernities, embedded in multi-scalar place/space transpositions, as local, regional, state, European and global transitions and transformations.
