Hidden in this funny commentary is a good idea that Zizek would expand upon later: “Balkan-ness” is largely a matter of self-perception. The Balkans is by now basically a shorthand for chaos and dysfunction and no one wants to be characterized by those things. In this video he implicitly points out the absurdity of having a fixed geographical border demarcate such a fluid cultural designation - as if the river in Ljubljana actually splits civilization from barbarism

@@treyebillups8602 While you are right that it does, it also links it back to the original comment with how it's a matter of self perception since there are a lot of implications regarding one's view of self dignity and self perception with chaos and exploitation in the balkan modern zeitgeist. He craftily delineates the line between reality and what we commonly accept as reality in cultural perceptions. If anything, it becomes far too easy to defer chaos, dysfunction and instability to one geo-social region on the European continent, and pretend the rest of it is faultless. It's amazing and terrible what centuries of social, economic, cultural and historical clashing can have on a region of people once modern states became a thing and they were forced to try to live with each other.

What if someone goes INTO the river? Is he still on the balkon then or in mittleeuropa?

[@ermac7636]
