Polish Presidency of the Council of the Baltic Sea States provokes us to take a look at the countries situated around the Baltic Sea and their cultures, and to ask some questions. The Balticum as a geo-cultural community? Arguments to support this claim would probably be as numerous as sceptical voices. But it is not a question of evidence. Another issue seems to be much more important: why is it advisable to think in terms of large geo-cultural regions and what possibilities are opened by such thinking?
Polish Presidency of the Council of the Baltic Sea States provokes us to take a look at the countries situated around the Baltic Sea and their cultures, and to ask some questions.
Can the Baltic be called the Mediterranean of Northern Europe? Does it unite or perhaps divide the nations living around it? With what values is Balticness associated? Can they become the foundation for a Baltic community and identity? To what extent is Poland a Baltic country? And to what extent have the Poles become a nation of the sea? Looking at history, politics and art, we seek answers to these questions.
Ma\u0142gorzata Omilanowska and Adam Krzemi\u0144ski wonder if Poland is a maritime country and if the Baltic is a genuine sea. Stefan Troebst, W\u0142odzimierz Pessel and Kristian Gerner looking at the history of the region, ask whom the Baltic unites and whom it divides. Barbara T\u00f6rnquist-Plewa, Olaf M\u00f6rke, Leonidas Donskis and Tuomo Melasuo explore the question of what a Baltic identity could be built on. Adam Balcer follows the route connecting the Balticum with Islam. Writing and speaking about literature, art, music and design are Szymon Piotr Kubiak, Jan Balbierz, Roxanna Panufnik, Adam Laskowski, Pawe\u0142 Huelle, \u0141ukasz Galusek, Monika Rydiger, Maris Takk and Rikke Jacobsen. Late but not least the Baltic skerries and spits are shown in the lens of Gytis Skud\u017einskas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
