Sažetak
In the framework of Enlightenment studies, topics dealing with sociability and communication have been very popular. Seeing the Enlightenment as a process of historicised communication, historians have focused their research on the institutions of sociability, the Habermasian public sphere and the circulation of enlightened knowledge. However, case studies have been taken mainly from Western Europe, and this paper provides examples from its eastern counterpart. It argues that there was a lively two- way communication between the 'centre' and the 'peripheries', and between the 'peripheries' themselves. Such an argument seeks to provide evidence against the monolithic definition of the 'East European Enlightenment'.
