BB: Intermarriage and Ethnic Identity in Central and Eastern Europe

BB: Karolina Lendák-Kabók - Intermarriage and Ethnic Identity in Central and Eastern Europe

Intermarriages, a pivotal element of social cohesion and interaction between majorities and sub-state ethnic minorities, evoke varying perspectives. They are either embraced as conduits for alleviating tensions between nations and sub-state minorities or criticized as influential agents of assimilation and perceived as disruptors of ethnic minority communities.  There has been limited methodical research into the social aspects, family dynamics, and identity construction of individuals within intermarriages within the Central and Eastern European (CEE) and Western Balkan (WB) regions. The primary objective of the Intermarriage and Ethnic Identity (IMEI) project is to comprehensively analyze the social ramifications of intermarriages between members of ethnic minority communities and the majority populations in Vojvodina, a notably multi-ethnic region in Serbia. The IMEI project aims to contribute significantly to the existing body of knowledge by scrutinizing the social impacts of intermarriages across three levels: the individual (micro), the family (meso), and the societal (macro) in this diverse geographic region. At the individual level, the project will investigate the transformations in ethnic and cultural identities experienced by partners involved in intermarriages. On the family level, we will delve into the processes of intergenerational transmission of ethnic, religious, and cultural markers. On the societal level, the project will examine the functioning of contemporary ethnic minority policies and legal frameworks in Serbia and their influence on intermarriages. This research holds broader relevance within the European context, as it specifically targets Hungarian, Slovak, and Romanian ethnic minorities residing in Vojvodina. These ethnic groups share connections with their kin-states (Hungary, Slovakia, Romania), all of which are members of the European Union. Consequently, members of these ethnic minorities often hold dual Serbian and EU citizenship, making them subject to the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities and the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. These EU policies are crucial instruments for safeguarding (its) minority rights, thereby enhancing the significance of the IMEI project.
