In the 20th century, jazz was an important artistic form. Depending
on the particular European country, jazz music carried different
social, political and aesthetic meanings. It brought challenges in
the areas of racial issues, the politics of the Cold War between
East and West, and in the exploration of boundaries of artistic
freedom. In socialist Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary and
Poland, the situation began to change after 1956 and then 1968,
when the ideologists shifted from the aesthetics of socialist
realism to postmodernism. In Western countries such as France and
Italy, jazz transformed from a modern to a postmodern period. This
volume deals with the impact of these changes on the career
development of jazz musicians - even beyond 1989 - in terms of
various phenomena such as emigration, child prodigies,
multiculturalism, multi-genre approaches, or female jazz musicians.
This book explores the contradictory development of gender roles in
Central and Eastern Europe including Russia. In light of the social
changes that followed the collapse of communism and the rise of new
conservatism in Eastern Europe, it studies new forms of gender
relationships and reassesses the status quo of female empowerment.
Moreover, leading scholars in gender studies discuss how right-wing
populism and conservative movements have affected sociopolitical
discourses and concepts related to gender roles, rights, and
attitudes, and how Western feminism in the 1990s may have
contributed to this conservative turn. Mainly focusing on power
constellations and gender, the book is divided into four parts: the
first explores the history of and recent trends in feminist
movements in Eastern Europe, while the second highlights the
dynamics and conflicts that gained momentum after neoconservative
parties gained political power in post-socialist countries. In
turn, the third part discusses new empowerment strategies and
changes in gender relationships. The final part illustrates the
identities, roles, and concepts of masculinity created in the
sociocultural and political context of Eastern Europe.

During the Cold War, jazz became a cultural weapon that was
employed by both sides to advance their interests. This volume
explores the history and roles of jazz in Poland, the German
Democratic Republic (GDR), Czechoslovakia, Hungary, the Soviet
Union, and the Baltic States by means of several case studies. The
American administration attempted to destabilize the political
systems of the Eastern Bloc countries, while the powers responsible
for culture in the Eastern Bloc countries tried to curtail the US
propaganda campaign. This resulted in distinct jazz traditions and
jazz scenes, each governed by a distinct behavioural codex, as well
as official responses in each of the Eastern Bloc countries.
Christian Schmidt-Rost vergleicht die Jazzszenen in der DDR und
Polen und beschaftigt sich mit den transatlantischen
Transferprozessen, in die sie eingebunden waren. Sein Buch gibt
einen Einblick in den vielfaltigen Umgang mit der amerikanischen
Musik Jazz im Kalten Krieg. Dabei werden die Handlungsspielraume
von Herrschenden und Jazzern - Musikern, Organisatoren,
Journalisten, Fans - in den beiden staatssozialistischen
Gesellschaften untersucht und deren Wandel seit den 1950er Jahren
nachvollzogen. Der Autor macht deutlich, wie es den Jazzern gelang,
uber Medien, Verbande und Festivals blockubergreifende
Kommunikationsraume zu etablieren, wahrend die Musik zugleich fur
immer mehr Akteure zu einem Geschaft wurde. Seine Studie zeigt, wie
Jazz im Kalten Krieg ebenso polarisierte wie verband.
