Introduction
Dialogic remembering as method
This article develops a method for understanding and activating relationality in practices of sharing memories in groups. Our conceptualization of this approach, which we have called “dialogic remembering,” is grounded in empirical research on memories of the 1980s–1990s postsocialist “transitions” as a case of a recent past that has been increasingly instrumentalized for political contestation but that comprises multifaceted “living memories.” T…
“An Unexpectedly Transgressive Subject of Twentieth-Century History”
This review article discusses two newly-released publications on communist women activists: Kristen Ghodsee’s Red Valkyries: Feminist Lessons from Five Revolutionary Women and The Palgrave Handbook of Communist Women Activists around the World, edited by Francisca de Haan. It focuses on questions of narrative and the persuasive function of the reviewed works, asking how and for whom one should write about communist women today. It brings to light…
Historia jakby nas pominęła”
Artykuł omawia miejsce Polski Ludowej – jako okresu historycznego/przedmiotu badań, ale też „wytwórcy” źródeł/materiału do badań oraz opracowań naukowych – we współczesnych projektach pisania ludowej historii Polski. Zwraca uwagę, że autorzy i autorki prac naukowych i popularyzatorskich korzystają z tych materiałów wybiórczo, co nie znaczy bez określonego zamysłu. Podejmuje próbę prześledzenia współczesnych strategii „radzenia sobie” z głosami kl…
Growing Up as a Girl in Late Socialist Poland
The article examines how representations of late socialism, seen through the eyes of adolescent girls, function in ‘quasi-autobiographical novels’ by Izabela Filipiak (Absolutna amnezja [Absolutne Amnesia], 1995) and Joanna Bator (Piaskowa Góra [The Sandy Hill], 2008). The authors, born in the 1960s and self-identified feminists, became voices of the women’s movement in post-1989 Poland. From their novels, the picture of late socialism emerges as…
Remembering Late Socialism in Autobiographical Novels and Autofictions from Central and Eastern Europe
Since the fall of communism in 1989 and 1990/91 literature has dealt with this epochal societal change, trying to come to terms with the past and assessing its influence on the present. In the last years the focus has turned towards the era of late socialism, that is the 1970s and 1980s. Many writers who attempt to present and reevaluate these decades and their ongoing influence on biographies and societies today grew up or came of age in this er…
Gender, Generations, and Communism in Central and Eastern Europe and Beyond
"Communism in twentieth-century Europe is predominantly narrated as a totalitarian movement and/or regime. This book aims to go beyond this narrative and provide an alternative framework to describe the communist past. This reframing is possible thanks to the concepts of generation and gender, which are used in the book as analytical categories in an intersectional overlap. The publication covers twentieth-century Poland, Czechoslovakia/Czech Rep…

Anti-Communism
Anti-communism is as old as communism, maybe even older. In the Communist Manifesto Marx writes about the "spectre of communism", which "haunts Europe" and against which "all powers of old Europe" have united: "Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies". The communist party had not yet been created, the program had not crystallised yet, there were not yet people who would have identified themselves with the ide…
Historical Memory of Central and East European Communism
"Every political movement creates its own historical memory. The communist movement, though originally oriented towards the future, was no exception: The theory of human history constitutes a substantial part of Marx's and Engels's writings, and the movement inspired by them very soon developed its own strong historical identity, combining the Marxist theory of history with the movement's victorious milestones such as the October Revolution and l…
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…

Komuniści (nie) mają ojczyzny…” Wanda Wasilewska jako polska (anty)bohaterka narodowa
Communists have no homeland: a portrait of Wanda Wasilewska The paper offers an analysis of a number of biographies of Wanda Wasilewska, written in different historical periods. An attempt was made to reconstruct the mechanisms that governed the functioning of Wanda Wasilewska’s communist figure in the Polish political discourse; explain how she was perceived by the society, and how it altered in the course of the Polish cultural and historical t…
