Covering a period of five centuries, the author explores how, when, and, most importantly, why these concepts have been developed and transformed, regulating the spatial imagination of several generations. The study focuses on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, presenting the narratives, representations, and geographic conceptions of the region that existed in these two national cultures. The volume shows how knowledge about "their own" space ended up serving as a tool for both Lithuanian and German political aspirations and how it challenged the spatial concepts about this area in the previous century. 410 0$aLithuanian studies. 606 $aMulticulturalism$zLithuania Minor (Russia and Lithuania) 606 $aMulticulturalism$zPrussia, East (Poland and Russia) 606 $aEthnic groups$zLithuania Minor (Russia and Lithuania) 606 $aEthnic groups$zPrussia, East (Poland and Russia) 606 $aNationalism$zLithuania Minor (Russia and Lithuania) 606 $aNationalism$zPrussia, East (Poland and Russia) 607 $aLithuania$xBoundaries$xHistory 607 $aLithuania Minor (Russia and Lithuania)$xHistory 607 $aPrussia, East (Poland and Russia)$xHistory 615 0$aMulticulturalism 615 0$aMulticulturalism 615 0$aEthnic groups 615 0$aEthnic groups 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aNationalism 676 $a305.800947/24 686 $aSOC053000$aHIS014000$2bisacsh 700 $aSafronovas$b Vasilijus$01597625 702 $aStrunga$b Albina 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807997503321 996 $aThe creation of national spaces in a pluricultural region$93919431 997 $aUNINA
