To various degrees, the politics of memory impacted the memory cultures of populously diverse regions around the globe.&nbsp; While state-sponsored museums and memorials received consistent attention in academic studies dedicated to these topics, the cultural (artistic) renderings are less addressed.&nbsp; &nbsp;This workshop\u2019s main aim is to disentangle the multifarious materializations of cultural (artistic) memory in the post-1990s time frame. As cultural production after the collapse of the communist regimes reveals, there are significant differences both in the form and content of recalling the recent past. Some art pieces and cultural productions follow the official politics of memory, while others contest, complement or rectify what the official institutions of remembrance enforce as the \u201cmemory of communism.\u201d While there are certain similarities in how the artists and cultural producers from the region remember communism, there are likewise differences in the manner in which they address it. While the central topic of cultural memory has been the de-communization and fading away of the past in some countries, the contemporary culture of remembrance in others highlights the fact that the citizens have not moved forward since 1991. Thus, this workshop\u2019s main aim is to unravel the similarities but also the differences \u2013 and even incompatibilities \u2013 of the cultural materializations of the memory of communism in the former Eastern bloc. &nbsp;In addition, we aim to explore the phenomenon of nostalgia that was acquired in Eastern Europe after the 1990s with almost exclusively negative connotations. Over time, new theoretical and memory studies frameworks were advanced, particularly in that nostalgia was no longer utterly understood in inherently negative terms as restorative, unhealthy, a \u201cdefect of memory\u201d or potentially dangerous for democracy and its well-being. We welcome contributions from scholars of memory studies, arts &amp; politics, cultural studies, political science and contemporary history. The speakers are expected to deliver a 20 minutes presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deadline for submitting abstracts 30 August 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Format<\/strong>: Virtual workshop<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact<\/strong>: Maria Alina Asavei <a href=\"mailto:maria.asavei@fsv.cuni.cz\">maria.asavei@fsv.cuni.cz<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This workshop is organized by the Institute of International Studies (Charles University, Prague), PRIMUS\/HUM\/12 research project Beyond the Hegemonic Narratives and Myths, (2017-2021) and the Interdisciplinary Research Center on Politics, Arts, Memory and Society (PolArt) of the Department of Political Science, University of Bucharest as a part of the project TE \u201cTransregional remembrance of dictatorships: restoring human dignity through artistic practices in South America and Eastern Europe\u201d (PN-III-P1-1.1-TE-2016-0346, UEFISCDI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Info:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maria Alina Asavei, Assistant Preofessor at the Institute of International Studies, Charles University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Email:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:maria.asavei@fsv.cuni.cz\">maria.asavei@fsv.cuni.cz<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>URL:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bohems.fsv.cuni.cz\/\">https:\/\/www.bohems.fsv.cuni.cz\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/networks.h-net.org\/node\/35008\/discussions\/6286013\/cfp-virtual-workshop-30-years-after-end-communist-regimes-new\">https:\/\/networks.h-net.org\/node\/35008\/discussions\/6286013\/cfp-virtual-workshop-30-years-after-end-communist-regimes-new<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12932,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti","category-skupovi"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/header-hnet.png?fit=583%2C143&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52580,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52580","url_meta":{"origin":22281,"position":0},"title":"Conference &#8220;Living in the aftermaths: Trauma, politics and survival in Yugoslavia and successor states, 1945 \u2013 present&#8221;","author":"Branimir Jankovi\u0107","date":"21. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"The conference aims to explore how war-related psychological distress was experienced, narrated, debated and reframed in Yugoslavia in the second half of the twentieth century.
