When a word describing an emotion is said to be untranslatable, is that emotion untranslatable also? This unique study focuses on three word-concepts on the periphery of Europe, providing a wide-ranging survey of national identity and cultural essentialism, nostalgia, melancholy and fatalism, the production of memory and the politics of hope.

Kyra Giorgi is a writer and cultural historian. She received her PhD in History from La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, and is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia.
