Montažstroj’s Emancipatory Performance Politics
This book deals with the broader theoretical and philosophical context of performance art in former Yugoslavia, focusing on more than three decades of politically engaged performance activity of the Montažstroj group. Their activity is only a starting point for a deeper analysis of some of the key notions of contemporary “art-ivism” in a much broader post-political and globalized context before, during, and after Yugoslavia and its Socialist paradigm collapsed. The author analyzes and sets notions of agonism, engagement, terrorism, post-war trauma, political populism, social Darwinism, participation and publicness, and the public sphere into different theoretical matrixes.
Nowe miasto nowych ludzi
Nowa Huta, choć oficjalnie liczy zaledwie nieco ponad 60 lat, należy do najbardziej wyrazistych i bogatych semantycznie przestrzeni Krakowa. Obecnie, gdy minęły już ponad dwie dekady od oficjalnego końca PRL, jest wciąż intrygującym tematem dyskursu publicznego w jego wielu różnych wymiarach, podobnie jak wówczas, gdy powoływano ją do życia jako modelowe miasto socjalizmu i miejsce akcji wielkiej opowieści o budowie Nowego Jutra. Kategoria wyobraźni społecznej, wybrana tu jako podstawowy punkt odniesienia, nie tylko pozwala rozpoznać zestaw najważniejszych znaków, symboli i mitów, za pomocą których był (i jest) konstruowany obraz dzielnicy, ale także zwraca uwagę na sposób i skutek ich użycia, nie unikając równocześnie fundamentalnego, choć często niewygodnego pytania o przyczyny ich akceptacji, modyfikacji bądź też odrzucenia.

Europäische Erinnerung als verflochtene Erinnerung
English summary: Starting point for this publication is a critique of an unreflected instrumentalisation of 'European Memory' in current public and academic discourse. In order to respond to this tendency, the articles develop an approach that accentuates the polyphony and multiple layers of memory, that is its entangled character.Rather than understanding 'European Memory' as a normative ideal or an empirical concept for days of remembrance, museums or schoolbooks, this approach perceives 'European Memory' as a discursive reality of which academic discourse is an integral part. It manifests itself whenever actors pick up 'Europe' in their interpretations of the past. Covering a broad spectr...
The Long 1989
The fall of communism in Europe is now the frame of reference for any mass mobilization, from the Arab Spring to the Occupy movement to Brexit. Even thirty years on, 1989 still figures as a guide and motivation for political change. It is now a platitude to call 1989 a "world event," but the chapters in this volume show how it actually became one. The authors of these nine essays consider how revolutionary events in Europe resonated years later and thousands of miles away: in China and South Africa, Chile and Afghanistan, Turkey and the USA. They trace the circulation of people, practices, and concepts that linked these countries, turning local developments into a global phenomenon. At the s...

Imagined Societies
Imagined Societies explores how images of 'society' and of national belonging have been forged by the media and politicians through the portrayal of immigrants and their 'failed integration'. Examining the experience of the Netherlands and other Western European countries, this book analyses how discussions of integration, culture, religion, and sexuality promote notions of national societies.
