Cold War Cultures
The Cold War was not only about the imperial ambitions of the super powers, their military strategies, and antagonistic ideologies. It was also about conflicting worldviews and their correlates in the daily life of the societies involved. The term “Cold War Culture” is often used in a broad sense to describe media influences, social practices, and symbolic representations as they shape, and are shaped by, international relations. Yet, it remains in question whether — or to what extent — the Cold War Culture model can be applied to European societies, both in the East and the West. While every European country had to adapt to the constraints imposed by the Cold War, individual development was affected by specific conditions as detailed in these chapters. This volume offers an important contribution to the international debate on this issue of the Cold War impact on everyday life by providing a better understanding of its history and legacy in Eastern and Western Europe.

The postsocialist contemporary
The postsocialist contemporary joins a growing body of scholarship debating the definition and nature of contemporary art. It comes to these debates from a historicist perspective, taking as its point of departure one particular art programme, initiated in Eastern Europe by the Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros. First implemented in Hungary, the Soros Center for Contemporary Art (SCCA) expanded to another eighteen ex-socialist countries throughout the 1990s. Its mission was to build a western ‘open society’ by means of art. This book discusses how network managers and artists participated in the construction of this new social order by studying the programme’s rise, evolution, impact and broader ideological and political consequences. Rather than recounting a history, its engages critically with ‘contemporary art’ as the aesthetic paradigm of late-capitalist market democracy.

Sotto il racconto superficiale della vittoriosa conquista del mondo intero da parte di Netflix, Amazon e degli altri operatori di piattaforme on demand, si consumano in realtà tensioni profonde. Lo scenario digitale è infatti attraversato dallo scontro sotterraneo tra le potenzialità distributive globali di internet e la natura regionale e nazionale dell'industria dei media, della sua regolamentazione, del pubblico e dei suoi gusti. Da una parte, è innegabile, i servizi in streaming e online hanno trasformato profondamente la cultura televisiva e audiovisiva globale. I contenuti si diffondono sulle linee telefoniche, su cavi in fibra ottica, su reti wireless, approdano su schermi grandi ...
