Left dissent
The article examines the conceptual history of the terms “dissent” and “dissidence” and their equivalents in English, French, German, and Czech. It demonstrates that each language has its own terminology with unique nuances of semantics and connotations that require attention when studying expressions of “left dissent” in different linguistic contexts. The second part of the text discusses how scholars and practitioners of dissidence/dissent in t…
Levicový disent
This entry in Contradictions’ ongoing “Conceptual Dictionary” examines the conceptual history of the terms “dissent” and “dissidence” and their equivalents, in English, French, German, and Czech. It demonstrates that each language has its own terminology with unique nuances of semantics and connotations that require attention when studying expressions of “left dissent” in different linguistic contexts.

The history of the dichotomy of civic Western and ethnic Eastern nationalism
The dichotomy of civic vs. ethnic nationalism has long been applied spatially to explain differences between ‘Western’ and ‘Eastern’ manifestations of nationalism. Though frequently criticised on empirical, methodological, and normative grounds, this dualism continues to find widespread use in nationalism studies. Through a genealogical study of the dichotomy’s emergence and evolution from Hans Kohn to John Plamenatz and Ernest Gellner, the artic…
Worlds of Dissent
Czech dissent, Jonathan Bolton argues in this ambitious and thoughtful book, needs rescuing not just from its detractors but from its eulogizers as well. Both sides portray the dissidents as an isolated, minute counter-elite, defined either in terms of human rights activism (“the Helsinki narrative”) or as theorists of civil society alternatives to the Communist systems (“the parallel polis narrative”), but neither perspective does justice to the…
Normalization and the Limits of the Law
The Jazz Section was one of the most remarkable cultural institutions in “normalized” Czechoslovakia. Established in 1971 as part of the official Musicians' Union, the Jazz Section used its legal status to arrange jazz and rock concerts and to publish a variety of books without the permission or consent of the Communist authorities. From the late 1970s, the regime strove hard to close the Section; however, it survived until 1984. Only in 1986 did…
The Making of a Slovak City
Any modern atlas or encyclopedia will inform us that Bratislava is the capital of the Slovak Republic, the center of Slovak political and cultural life. But before World War I-or even toward the end of it in 1918-it was far from clear that the city could or should be defined as "Slovak," to say nothing of a "Slovak capital"; that it was to belong to the future state of Czechoslovakia; or that it was to be called Bratislava. This essay will descri…
The Use of the Middle
Since its introduction, Central Europe has been a contested term, subject to rival efforts to lay daim to the continent's middle. This article traces how a German and then a Czech ‘idea’ of Central Europe has taken shape since the nineteenth Century, based on broader discourses on Europe, including ‘Eastern Europe’, and on ‘the middle’ as a virtuous place and attribute. It is argued that the new debates on Central Europe of the 1980s were heavily…
