The book explores the intellectual history of Bulgaria between the
1960s and the 1980s at the intersections of the country's social
and political history. Based on case studies, the research delves
into three areas: the control and pressure mechanisms used on
science and the university; the clash of ideas while performing the
formal and hidden functions of academia in a communist regime
setting; the processes whereby research and academia acquire a
relative autonomy and alternative academic communities are being
formed amidst the eroding ideological legitimacy of the regime.
Centred on the concept of the "incident", this setup allowed us to
eschew the narratives around the role of the dissidents or "freedom
as a gift" and interpret society's transformation as the outcome of
intersecting and overlaying sectoral events, which gathered
strength down the years and lay the ground for the eruption
labelled here as the "Big Event of 1989".
