- The book is generally devoted to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While more general issues were targeted such as identifying important relations between images and politics, images and ethnicity, images and identity, images and humor, and so forth, we also hoped to point out mutually formed imageries (e.g., by the Poles and the Lithuanians or the Austrians and the Hungarians about each other) and identify specifi c subjects of representation (e.g., the Russian Bear or the Orthodox Jew). Our primary purpose, however, was to publish the related visual material—especially newspaper caricatures from the above-mentioned time period. The authors could pose more precise/exact and also (perhaps) methodologically more advanced questions. While more attention was devoted to the humorous aspect of representing the Other in the first volume, the second has widened the scope of investigation and attempted to consider the issue of meeting the Other in its entire strangeness. Thus, we have gained insight into the multifarious process of the transformation of the Other in Central and Eastern Europe during the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. We could study its various forms taking shape during specific interactions that took place between nations, between neighboring cultures, and between remote cultures, and we could analyze interactions that emerged in war, in peace, during travel, and so forth, and with “non-ethnic Others.
