CFP: Re-constructing Perestroika(s): In Search of a new Vocabulary for the Transformation of Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia

Deadline: October 31, 2023

Workshop 14/15 March 2024

Institute of Contemporary History, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague

Georgetown University, Washington DC

Center of Contemporary History, ZZF Potsdam

Re-constructing Perestroika(s): In Search of a new Vocabulary for the Transformation of Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia

For a long time the term Perestroika meant first and foremost ‘reforms from above’, whose initiative and execution were inextricably linked with the name of Mikhail Gorbachev. Yet a look back into contemporary sources and commentary quickly points to many actors, many ideas, and many debates and conversations taking place in a time characterized by emotional intensity and economic hardship, by ardent pursuit of hidden facts and fascination with mysticism and conspiracies. From a distance of more than thirty years, it has also become apparent that Perestroika cannot be limited to the political and economic spheres, but comprises the entirety of social and cultural life as well as new fields of intellectual, organizational and cultural activity.
