Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the depictions of the Balkan Peninsula in Harry de Windt’s 1907 travelogue Through Savage Europe in relation to Michel Foucault’s notion of heterotopia. By bringing this concept into connection with Maria Todorova’s notion of balkanism, the study examines how the Balkans are constructed as a special place and a counter-site to Europe, emphasizing their mixed, hybrid nature and Otherness.
