Spaces of Identity 4.1 is on-line

[Wladimir Fischer]

Volume 4, Issue 1 of *spacesofidentity* is now online at http://www.spacesofidentity.net.

In addition to articles by Srdjan Vucetic, reporting on his fieldwork on humor in Bosnia and why Bosnians are so often the butts of their own jokes, and Tomasz Kamusella, who proves Shakespeare right in his historical examination of Silesian place-names, the issue contains the first of a series of special sections on networks that are the result of a larger collaborative endeavor *spacesofidentity* is very pleased to be part of. Initiated by "Kakanien revisited," a web-based networking project for interdisciplinary research in the field of Central and Eastern European studies, this project aims to theoretically reflect on the networking that makes up its practice.

In this section, Cornelia Szabó-Knotik's comparison of Brahms, Bruckner and Johann Strauß reveals how socially determined and gendered strategies of networking in Ringstrassenzeit Vienna's music life were, Vesna Mikic zooms in on the technocultural subject in the net of Jasna Velickovic's
Vris.Krik.exe (2000), the first Concerto for live electronic orchestra in the history of Serbian music, and Angeles Espinaco-Virseda delves into the networks responsible for the formation of gendered and sexual identities in her analysis of the lesbian subculture in Weimar Germany as represented in the magazine *Die Freundin*.
