This edited collection reassesses East-Central European art by
offering transnational perspectives on its regional or national
histories, while also inserting the region into contemporary
discussions of global issues. Both in popular imagination and, to
some degree, scholarly literature, East-Central Europe is
persistently imagined as a hermetically isolated cultural
landscape. This book restores the diverse ways in which
East-Central European art has always been entangled with actors and
institutions in the wider world. The contributors engage with
empirically anchored and theoretically argued case studies from
historical periods representing notable junctures of globalization:
the early modern period, the age of Empires, the time of socialist
rule and the global Cold War, and the most recent decades of
postsocialism understood as a global condition.
