Call for papers Summer School „Postsocialist Cultural Studies: Methodology and Research”<\/em>, Kazan, June 29 – July 5 2013.<\/p>\n

More than twenty years have passed since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War, and the dispersal of the global socialist movement. Since then, we have been living in a post-world that is variously characterized as postsocialist, post-Marxist, postmodernist, and postcolonialist. This new condition has challenged scholars to find appropriate concepts, theories, and methods. In the 1990s, such theories as „transition”, „path-dependency”, and „multiple modernities” became popular among post-scholars. Over the decades, these concepts have revealed their problematic character.<\/p>\n

Call for papers Summer School „Postsocialist Cultural Studies: Methodology and Research”<\/em>, Kazan, June 29 – July 5 2013.<\/p>\n

More than twenty years have passed since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War, and the dispersal of the global socialist movement. Since then, we have been living in a post-world that is variously characterized as postsocialist, post-Marxist, postmodernist, and postcolonialist. This new condition has challenged scholars to find appropriate concepts, theories, and methods. In the 1990s, such theories as „transition”, „path-dependency”, and „multiple modernities” became popular among post-scholars. Over the decades, these concepts have revealed their problematic character.<\/p>\n

Empirical studies of the cultural condition of postsocialism in its most problematic manifestations – class, gender, generational, regional, ethnic,
confessional, etc. – reveal continuities, gaps, and hybridizations that were not predicted by ideologues. But the concept of post-socialism is still in demand. In various forms that range from memory to inertia, the socialist legacy makes its impact on cultural processes, social troubles, and the
political quests in the post-Soviet and global space.<\/p>\n

In our problematic world, methodologies and reality illuminate and challenge each other. The Summer School will discuss the emerging concepts and visions that inform our research of the world after socialism.<\/p>\n
