This book explores post-communist thresholds as materializations of
a specific crisis of modern European identity that was caused by
the existence and sudden breakdown of Soviet-type communism. It
shows how post-communist thresholds emerge where relics from the
communist experience continue disrupting the routines and rhythms
of a modern life and confront Europeans with cultural experiences,
affects and material realities of the 'enlightened world' which
they usually seek to repress or ignore. In exploring and writing
through art projects which engage with the psychosocial fabric of
such post-communist thresholds, this book finds ways of speaking
and thinking through these transitory and paradox sites, and asks
what we can say about other or new worlds, about new beginnings and
endings as well as about decolonial and ethical ways of relating to
the other when assessing the status quo of European modernity from
within its liminal and crisis-driven sphere.
