• Sommario/riassunto: The Idea of Galicia analyzes the intellectual and cultural history of a place as an idea: how Galicia, invented in the late eighteenth century as a geopolitical artifice, gradually acquired complex meaning over the course of its historical existence (and even beyond) for the peoples- Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews- who lived there and for the political culture of the Habsburg monarchy.
