Cultures of Opposition. Samizdat in East Central Europe

Herder-Institut für historische Ostmitteleuropaforschung -Institut der Leibniz-Gemeinschaft 24.04.2013, Marburg

Samizdat and cultures of opposition are not only a past phenomenon, but also a very present research and collection issue. For oppositional movements in East Central Europe independent underground publishing was more than a way to overcome the state's monopoly of information. The samizdat formed a broad forum for oppositional debate, both negotiating strategy and oppositional identity.
