Prof. Dr. Ilija Konev left great cultural legacy for us. Systematically going forward step by step he had been elaborating the conception of development and interrelationships of the Balcanistic and Central-European literatures and cultures. He usually took Bulgarian literature as starting point in his analysis, but in the end he gave a whole picture about national and universal characteristics of literature and art of almost every national culture in the Central European and Balkan region. This approach itself implicitly embraces the studying of relations between national characteristics and the universal human values. As a result Ilija Konev arrived at the conclusion that the free development of the national cultural characteristics in the Balkan region led to the strengthening of the universal human values. And there were not any contradiction between them.

The paper considers the problem of the past and its role in building identities according to the case study from the Hungarian Middle Ages history and its reflection on the present time. It is well known that the today’s inhabitants of the Greater Cumania/Nagykunság and Little Cumania/ Kiskunság regions in Hungary are related by their origin and tradition to the Cumans – vanished nomadic people. I trace two lineages: the first – the collective memory for the nomadic past, preserved within regional culture and the second – the memory carried in words. Particular attention is paid to the processes of interaction between group memory and historical memory, “longue durée” and historicity as well as – to the inventing nature of tradition.

On one hand, the night is innermost and it gives the subject tranquility and exotic he needs.
