Traditionally, privacy studies have focused on the liberal
democratic societies of the global West, whereas non-democratic
contexts have played a marginal role in the discussion of the
private and public spheres, not in the least because of the
political stances of the Cold War era. This volume offers
explorations of highly diversified performances and discourses of
privacy by various actors which were embedded into the culturally,
economically, and politically specific constructions of late
socialism in individual states of the Warsaw Pact. While the
experience of socialism varied across the Bloc, there were also
some reactions to socialism and some reverse responses of socialist
regimes to these reactions that one can trace through all states.
Contributions to this volume take us across the Eastern Bloc and
beyond it-from the Soviet Union, into late socialist Poland,
Romania, and East and West Germany. While looking at specific
countries, they provide a glimpse into a broader perspective that
reaches beyond the borders of individual late socialist states.
Together, these articles document a palette of paradigms of the
construction and transformation of the private spheres that
overcame the national borders of individual states and left an
imprint across the Eastern Bloc, thereby contributing to rethinking
Cold War rhetoric in regard to these states.
