The Cold War left indelible traces on the city, where polarities on
the global stage crystallized and intersected with political and
social dynamics predating and bypassing the Blocs. This collection
taps into the rich fabric of memories, histories and cultural
interactions of thirteen cities worldwide and the lived experience
of urban communities during the long Cold War: activated and
mobilized by atomic technologies, taking tourist photographs,
attending commercial fairs, enjoying the cinema and the ballet,
singing in choirs, paying respect in local cemeteries, visiting
museums, and responding to town councils, unions and the local
press. Literature, film, photography, the press, the monument, the
cemetery, the factory, the ruin, the archive and the natural
ecosystem are some of the key frameworks of cultural production
elucidated here with a view to countering and exploding received
myths about the Cold War.
