Episode Three: Memory and Diaspora | 'Balkanism' and Digital Geographies of Cultural Objects

In this episode, Arber Qerka-Gashi explores the concept of 'Balkanism' — the ways in which the Balkans are represented, imagined, and consumed in digital spaces. He traces how diaspora communities engage with cultural objects online, from music and film to social media archives, and what these digital geographies reveal about memory, identity, and belonging.
