>
> David Crowley and Susan Reid invite proposals for papers to complement an
> existing list of contributions to an anthology on Socialist Spaces in
> Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, c. 1947-1991. This book
> is planned as a sequel to our forthcoming collection, Style and Socialism:
> Modernity and Material Culture in Post-war Eastern Europe (Berg, 1999). We
> would especially welcome proposals that deal with visual, material and
> social aspects of particular spaces, their representation, uses and
> meanings under socialism, addressing some or any of the following themes:
>
> * public spaces (perhaps of surveillance and spectacle);
> * private spaces (such as the bedroom, the socialist kitchen or the
> communal apartment);
> * liminal spaces ('no man's lands', ruins, dangerous places, squats
> and the sites of street culture);
> * spaces for public rituals and ceremonies;
> * memorial spaces (perhaps multivalent or reconfigured);
> * city/country distinctions;
> * socialist suburbia;
> * sites of consumption and leisure (department stores, unlicensed
> markets, parks of culture);
> * Space;
> * gendered spaces;
> * Queer spaces;
> * elite spaces/spaces of privilege and power;
> * penitentiary spaces (associated with education and reconstruction
> such as prisons and labour camps).
>
> This list is far from exhaustive and we welcome any proposals that could
> be viewed as dealing with aspects of Socialist Spaces in Central and
> Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, c. 1947-1991.
