Die Kartierung der Extreme
Aktuelle europäische Geschichtskarten veranschaulichen nationale Raum- und Geschichtsbilder, die abhängig vom Standort und von jeweiligen bildungs- und geschichtspolitischen sowie erinnerungskulturellen Hintergründen die Perspektive der Europäer auf eines der wichtigsten Kapitel ihrer Geschichte – die Zeit der Weltkriege (1914–1945) – prägen. Sebastian Bode untersucht 4.000 Geschichtskarten, veröffentlicht seit 1990 in 365 Geschichtsatlanten und 37 europäischen Ländern. Die Studie betrachtet raumdimensionale Sichtweisen sowie inhaltliche Schwerpunktlagerungen hinsichtlich der europaweiten Orientierung von Bildungsmedien an etablierten Gesichtspunkten der Geschichtsschreibung, d...
Holocaust Public Memory in Postcommunist Romania
How is the Holocaust remembered in Romania since the fall of communism? Alexandru Florian and an international group of contributors unveil how and why Romania, a place where large segments of the Jewish and Roma populations perished, still fails to address its recent past. These essays focus on the roles of government and public actors that choose to promote, construct, defend, or contest the memory of the Holocaust, as well as the tools—the press, the media, monuments, and commemorations—that create public memory. Coming from a variety of perspectives, these essays provide a compelling view of what memories exist, how they are sustained, how they can be distorted, and how public remembrance of the Holocaust can be encouraged in Romanian society today.
Post/modern Dracula
“Post/modern Dracula” explores the postmodern in Bram Stoker’s Victorian novel and the Victorian in Francis Ford Coppola’s postmodern film to demonstrate how the century that separates the two artists binds them more than it divides them. What are the postmodern elements of Stoker’s novel? Where are the Victorian traits in Coppola’s film? Is there a postmodern gloss on those Victorian traits? And can there be a Victorian directive behind postmodernism in general? The nine essays compiled in this collection address these and other relevant questions per the novel and the film at three distinct periods: (post)modern Victorianism, post/modernism, and finally postmodernism. Part I on...
Ethnic Struggle, Coexistence, and Democratization in Eastern Europe
Argues that protest by ethnic Hungarians in Romania and Slovakia brought about policy changes and integrated Hungarian minorities into the democratic process.
Transitional Justice in Post-Communist Romania
This is the first volume to overview the complex Romanian transitional justice effort, detail the political negotiations that have led to the adoption and implementation of relevant legislation, and assess these processes in terms of their timing, sequencing, and impact on democratization.
Thirty Years of Political Campaigning in Central and Eastern Europe
This edited volume maps the development of the use of political campaigning and marketing techniques in countries of the former Communist Bloc over the last thirty years. Focusing on the shift from propaganda to political marketing, and from manipulation to persuasion, the book consists of a series of case studies of countries in Central Europe, Eastern Europe, the Baltics, and the Balkans that outline the history, development and current state of political marketing in each country. The authors explore political parties and their behaviour ahead of elections, and show the changes in political culture and practices that parties have undergone in order to create more or less successful campaigns.
Pe contrasens cu favorita președintelui. Cronica unei campanii
Într-un trafic incontrolabil, a intra pe contrasens nu e un lucru de mirare. Ce te faci însă dacă există riscul să dai nas în nas cu... favorita președintelui? Cine „plătește asigurarea“? Liviu Brătescu nu se teme de sancțiuni. Nu folosește cuvinte dantelate, nu ridică pe nimeni în slăvi. El doar se străduiește să conducă atent...
Post-Communist Aesthetics
In this book, Anca Pusca seeks to extend the aesthetic and cultural turn in international relations to an analysis of post-communist transitions in Central and Eastern Europe. Building on the philosophy of Walter Benjamin and Jacques Ranciere, the work investigates how post-communist film, photography, theatre, art, museumization and architecture have creatively re-engaged with ideas of revolution, communism, capitalism and ethnic violence, and how this in turn has helped people survive and reinvent themselves amongst the material and ideological ruins of communism. The work illustrates how popular culture has effectively targeted and re-interpreted the classical representations of the trans...
Tranziția. Primii 25 de ani
2014 este anul care marchează un sfert de secol de când a căzut Zidul Berlinului, iar românii au răsturnat regimul lui Nicolae Ceaușescu. Ce ne-au adus acești 25 de ani de libertate? În zece convorbiri spumoase, cu rol de diagnostic și totodată de profeție, Alina Mungiu-Pippidi și Vartan Arachelian discută despre motivele pentru care comunismul românesc a plantat sămânța unei tranziții dificile, dacă a fost revoluție sau lovitură de stat, de ce la noi nu a existat lustrație și cum am putea să ne maximizăm performanța în UE. Traseele parcurse de autorii cărții în arheologia lor evenimențială au multe similitudini, dar și deosebiri, ceea ce particularizează memoria colectivă în istorii personale. Deși această carte e o istorie obiectivă a tranziției, ea este, nu doar în subtext, și o istorie trăită.
