Veranstalter: | Leipzig Centre for the History and Culture of East Central Europe (GWZO) and Historical Institute of the University of Warsaw in cooperation with the Willy Brandt Centre for German and European Studies of the University of Wroclaw - sponsored by VolkswagenFoundation |
Datum, Ort: | 08.06.2006–11.06.2006, Warsaw / Kazimierz Dolny |
This workshop looks at how European societies instrumentalize the remembrance of a ‘better‘ pre-dictatorial past in post-dictatorial situations and asks for regional and European patterns of fitting periods of dictatorship into master narratives of national history. South European case studies are Spain, Portugal, and Greece where right-wing dictatorships ended in the mid-1970s, East European cases are Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Latvia and Poland where communist regimes collapsed in 1989-91. In addition to intra-regional comparisons attempts at inter-regional ones will be undertaken. The workshop is the closing conference of the Leipzig-based research project 'National Self-Assertion in Post-Dictatorial Societies on the Semi-Peripheries of Europe: Historical Cultures in Poland and Spain Compared', financed by VolkswagenFoundation from 2002 to 2006.
