CFP: Processing Perestroika: Making Sense and Making Do (Georgetown University)

Deadline: October 1, 2024

Call for Papers

Georgetown University, Washington DC, March 7–8, 2025

Much of the backlash against neoliberalism and democracy in Russia and across the former socialist world is rooted in narratives of grievance about the period of “transition,” or what we call the “Long Perestroika” (1985–2000). Politicians, activists and thinkers from across the political spectrum often point to missteps and roads not taken at the end of state socialism as key to understanding the current moment. But what did that time look and feel like to those living it? How did late- and post-socialist subjects navigate, negotiate and comprehend the changing worlds around them? This conference will focus on the lived experience of the long perestroika and the impact of political and economic upheaval on real-time cultural production.
