In many ways what is identified today as "cultural globalization"
in Eastern Europe has its roots in the Cold War phenomena of
samizdat ("do-it-yourself" underground publishing) and tamizdat
(publishing abroad). This volume offers a new understanding of how
information flowed between East and West during the Cold War, as
well as the much broader circulation of cultural products
instigated and sustained by these practices. By expanding the
definitions of samizdat and tamizdat from explicitly political
print publications to include other forms and genres, this volume
investigates the wider cultural sphere of alternative and
semi-official texts, broadcast media, reproductions of visual art
and music, and, in the post-1989 period, new media. The underground
circulation of uncensored texts in the Cold War era serves as a
useful foundation for comparison when looking at current examples
of censorship, independent media, and the use of new media in
countries like China, Iran, and the former Yugoslavia.
