In the decades since the collapse of socialism in eastern Europe,
time has been a central resource under negotiation. Focusing on a
local community that was considered a "model" in the socialist
period, the author explores a variety of state-sponsored and
unofficial pasts - history, folklore, and tradition - and shows how
they "fit" together in everyday life. During the socialist period,
the past was a central dimension of local politics and village
identity. Post-socialist development has demanded a revaluation of
temporality - as well as public and private space. This has led to
fundamental changes in social life and political relations, reduced
local resources, threatened village identity and transformed
political activity through the emergence of new political elites.
While the full implications of this process are still being played
out, this study underlines some of the fundamental processes
prevalent across eastern Europe that help explain widespread
ambiguity vis-B-vis post-socialist reform.
