Historiography about external representations of southeastern Europe places significance on the Balkan Wars (1912-3) in cementing negative stereotypes of the region. Despite this, there have been few studies dealing specifically with British representations of these conflicts. This article scrutinises British journalistic correspondence from the wars, sources neglected by previous scholarship in favour of overtly literary depictions of the region and tangible forms of Anglo-Balkan political contact. Foregrounding domestic political culture which shaped representations, notably the publicity of the liberal Balkan Committee, and the practicalities of war correspondence, this article argues British perceptions of the wars were more sympathetic than typically assumed. Representations of the conflicts were based around patterns of perception originating in orientalist assumptions about the Ottoman Empire. Reporters welcomed allied victories as the triumph of Western ‘progress’ over Eastern ‘stagnation’ and instrumentalised violent stereotypes about the Ottomans to highlight the just cause of the allied offensive via atrocity propaganda. While recognising growing dissent in Britain over pro-Balkan reporting from organisations such as the Ottoman Association, this article concludes by emphasising how the ‘fratricidal’ Second Balkan War had less of an impact on patterns of perception due to its short duration.

In 1982-83, Susie Guillory Phipps unsuccessfully sued the Louisiana Bureau of Vital Records to change her racial classification from black to white. The descendant of an eighteenth-century white planter and a black slave, Phipps was designated "black" in her birth certificate in accordance with a 1970 state law which declared anyone with at least one-thirty-second "Negro blood" to be black. The legal battle raised intriguing questions about the concept of race, its meaning in contemporary society, and its use (and abuse) in public policy. Assistant Attorney General Ron Davis defended the law by pointing out that some type of racial classification was necessary to comply with federal record-keeping requirements and to facilitate programs for the prevention of genetic diseases. Phipps's attorney, Brian Begue, argued that the assignment of racial categories on birth certificates was unconstitutional and that the one-thirty-second designation was inaccurate. He called on a retired Tulane University professor who cited research indicating that most whites have one-twentieth "Negro" ancestry. In the end, Phipps lost. The court upheld a state law which quantified racial identity, and in so doing affirmed the legality of assigning individuals to specific racial groupings.

The paper researches how cross-cultural experiences resulting from encounters trigger reflections that can lead to cultural and personal self-awareness which ultimately influences the perception of oneself. Given the increased global mobility, those encounters between socio-cultural backgrounds are more frequent every day which has an effect on the formation of "transnational identities". There are multiple factors that come into play when those encounters take place and which were considered in the reflective approach to those experiences. The method used to approach the project is autoethnography and the main gathering of empirical data, which is in coherence with the intrinsic subjectivity of each researcher, was a five day trip to North Macedonia. The analysis departs from the individual reflection of the experiences, based on the field notes and journals, structured under four main topics and each divided into micro reflections and meta discussions. The theoretical framework under which the reflections were considered is constructed from different theories in the social psychology domain. The narrative reflections are a combination of those theories and methodologies in form of journals. The aim of the project is to get an understanding through self-reflection of how the sociocultural environments affect the behaviour, perception and feelings. The results of the analysis were that the reflection is an ongoing open-ended process in which, the narrations will establish routines of meaning-makings that will potentially condition the future experiences. The pre-wired embodiments influence the positioning one assumes due to the complex response. This process is influenced and influenced the individual subjective and meaning-making patterns that stem from the individual sociocultural background and are represented in form of narrations.
