I use a range of new approaches and methodologies, including visualization of text corpora and mapping techniques, in order to reposition the political-cultural journal as one central node of a much larger cultural system. There is more at stake here than simply documenting the intellectual history of dissidents from this region in the late 1970s and 1980s, or the cultural politics that developed in their wake. By unearthing the legacy of Cold War-era border-crossing networks in the post-89 period, I show how the use of transnational, web-based media alongside of radio and print media follows the logic and practice of an earlier, 'dissident' generation of writers. Anyone who has followed the chain of electoral and economic challenges that the former satellite countries have faced over the last twenty years might ask what has happened to the liberal humanist philosophy that the term 'Central Europe' once evoked? This book follows its trajectories forward into the present day, reading both its material and intellectual traces in the post-socialist landscape"--Provided by publisher. 630 00 Cross currents. 650 0 Periodicals |xSocial aspects |zCommunist countries |xHistory. 650 0 Periodicals |xSocial aspects |zEurope, Central |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Mass media |xSocial aspects |zCommunist countries |xHistory. 650 0 Mass media |xSocial aspects |zEurope, Central |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Transnationalism |xSocial aspects |zEurope, Central |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Social networks |zEurope, Central |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Political culture |zEurope, Central |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 Communist countries |xRelations. 651 0 Europe, Central |xRelations. 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6302_230000000000000_0943_LAB |70 |8GEN |9127589OSA |bOSA |d2019-03-20 |eOSA |l0 |o302.23/0943 LAB |r2019-03-20 |w2019-03-20 |yBK |zDonation of the author. |cOSA Repository 920 01 wXZbOkX7 992 01 302_230000000000000_0943_LAB |bWZX_XWZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_ZQVW_EPO 966 |cIn the Research Room
