Homo sovieticus and the Neoliberal Legacy of Polish Dissent
Democratic backsliding in eastern Europe has been often cast in terms of the uncivility of local political culture inherited from the past. For the postwar period, the figure of homo sovieticus has embodied that inheritance, and its continued allure owes a lot to its dissident pedigree. This essay presents an intellectual history of the uses of that theme across the 1989 divide and questions its relevance today. The preoccupation with homo soviet…

Dissident Legacies of Samizdat Social Media Activism: Unlicensed Print Culture in Poland 1976–1990

Thinking through Transition: Liberal Democracy, Authoritarian Pasts, and Intellectual History in East Central Europe After 1989
Thinking through Transition is the first concentrated effort to explore the most recent chapter of East Central European past from the perspective of intellectual history. Post-communism can be understood as a period of scarcity and preponderance of ideas, the dramatic eclipsing of the dissident legacy (as well as the older political traditions), and the rise of technocratic and post-political governance. This book, grounded in empirical research…
