Polish Estrada Music
One of the chapters of Ewa Mazierska's book is titled “The Song Won't Let You Forget (Piosenka przypomni ci),” referencing a popular song originally performed by Marta Mirska in 1948. This title aptly serves as a guiding theme for Mazierska's book, which narrates the story of postwar Poland through the songs and performers of the influential genre of so-called estrada music. In addition to being an impressive piece of scholarship, it stands as a …
Communism's Public Sphere
In recent decades, scholars of post-1945 Poland and Eastern Europe have focused increasingly on culture and society rather than political elites and party-state structures. We now know that communist regimes were not all-powerful, and that individuals and groups found opportunities to assert their agency and influence the system. Scholars such as Paulina Bren, Patrick Patterson, Małgorzata Mazurek, Katherine Lebow, and others have demonstrated co…
Teoria crítica e Teoria decolonial latino-americana
Provocado a pensar sobre a atualidade da Teoria crítica de Theodor W. Adorno, o artigo propõe uma aproximação à Teoria decolonial latino-americana. Embora Adorno não tenha tratado detidamente sobre a temática, seu pensamento é reconhecido como profícuo para uma ênfase nas ambiguidades dos processos históricos da modernidade europeia e sua relação com a dominação social. Partimos dos escritos de Aníbal Quijano, Santiago Castro-Gómez, Walter Mignol…
Kateřina Lišková. Sexual Liberation, Socialist Style
Kateřina Lišková’s Sexual Liberation, Socialist Style: Communist Czechoslovakia and the Science of Desire, 1945–1989 is a compelling book about the critical role that sexuality and sexual policy played in Communist Czechoslovakia. The book does away with the conventional assumption that communist regimes devoted limited attention to intimate lives of their subjects. On the contrary, as in any modern society, sexuality was central to how the state…
Tensions of Transnationalism
This article looks at Polish students who attempted to challenge the communist state's hegemony with their own alternative interpretation of leftist politics during the pivotal era of the global sixties. This challenge culminated in student and youth demonstrations in March 1968 and the state's violent reaction. In contrast to dominant narratives that depict 1968 in Poland and Eastern Europe as primarily shaped by the domestic political context, …

Pożytki z "pokolenia". Dyskusja o "pokoleniu" jako kategorii analitycznej
W trakcie rozmowy o „pokoleniu” jako kategorii analitycznej używanej we współczesnej humanistyce autorki zastanawiają się nad definicjami oraz znaczeniami „pokolenia” w obszarze studiów nad pamięcią, przemianami postaw społecznych, polityką historyczną. Rozważają, jak kategoria ta funkcjonuje w dyskursie publicznym w Polsce po 1989 roku, a także jaką rolę pełnią dziś (auto)deklaracje pokoleniowe. Kluczowe jest dla nich pytanie o pożytki z posługi…
Pleasures and Perils of Socialist Modernity
What role did consumption, the mass media and popular culture play in post-war Eastern Europe? Did they help ‘normalise’ state socialism or rather inspire outlooks and desires incongruent with communist regimes’ goals? These questions are central to recent scholarship which has departed from conventional Cold War studies centred on narrowly-conceived political elites and modes of Soviet domination. Instead, using the lens of social and cultural h…
Les femmes à la marge
L'article s'intéresse aux femmes en tant qu'actrices de l'histoire dans l'Europe de l'Est d'après-guerre. La première partie traite des apports récents de l'historiographie anglophone et souligne la nécessité d'étudier le genre comme outil de négociation des pouvoirs entre l'État et la société. La deuxième partie analyse les expériences des femmes qui ont occupé des postes de direction, qualifiés, dominés par les hommes, pendant la période stalin…

Equality through Protection
In this article, Malgorzata Fidelis analyzes the role of gender in postwar Polish employment policies and shop floor culture and casts a new light on east European Stalinism and de-Stalinization. Focusing on the reconstruction and implementation of protective labor legislation for women, Fidelis argues that the communist definition of gender was a recast version of the western liberal notion of immutable sexual difference positioned in the body. …
