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 that was instigated and sustained by these
practices. By expanding the definitions of samizdat and tamizdat
from explicitly political, print publication 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-89 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.
