Remembering Communism examines the formation and transformation of
the memory of communism in the post-communist period. The majority
of the articles focus on memory practices in the post-Stalinist era
in Bulgaria and Romania, with occasional references to the cases of
Poland and the GDR. Based on an interdisciplinary approach,
including history, anthropology, cultural studies and sociology,
the volume examines the mechanisms and processes that influence,
determine and mint the private and public memory of communism in
the post-1989 era. The common denominator to all essays is the
emphasis on the process of remembering in the present, and the
modalities by means of which the present perspective shapes
processes of remembering, including practices of commemoration and
representation of the past. The volume deals with eight major
thematic blocks revisiting specific practices in communism such as
popular culture and everyday life, childhood, labor, the secret
police, and the perception of "the system".
This collection of essays gives an overview on current developments
in the field of education in the successor states of ex-Yugoslavia
and the Republic of Moldova from the mid 1990s to today. The impact
of nation- and state-building processes on the politics of history
and on schooling are analysed against the background of the complex
social and political transformations that have been taking place in
the region; changes that are usually subsumed under the problematic
and rather unspecific notion of transition. The book engages in
such issues as: What is the role of international actors and what
is the impact of interventions in education? What are the
preconditions for lasting and sustainable reforms in education?
What goals are inscribed in history textbook narratives? This book
addresses these questions from an interdisciplinary perspective and
offers insights into the complicated and ambiguous developments in
the field of education in Southeast Europe during the last decade.
German text.
This book discusses how socialist ideology emerged as an option of
political modernity in the Balkans in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth century, and compares three nations sharing similar
geopolitical, historical and cultural (religious) background but
divided by language and cultural traditions. This book presents
three case studies (Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece), dealing with the
adaptation of three socialist paradigms in three Balkan countries.
It carries studies that aspire to tell a different and
complementary story with respect to the issue of modernity and
socialism (and Marxism). It presents similarities and differences
between the ways and forms as socialist ideology appeared in these
three predominantly agricultural countries in the final phase of
the Ottoman rule in South-Eastern Europe - including transnational
interactions and transfers. This book: analyzes the relations and
competition between concepts of liberalism and socialism; and,
describes where socialism in the three countries was heading to at
the beginning of the 20th century.
