VIEW Issue 5: Television Histories in (Post)Socialist Europe *VIEW Journal of European Television History and Culture is proud to present its fifth issue on 'Television Histories in (Post)Socialist Europe.' This issue lays the ground for television histories from Eastern Europe as an emerging area of study and situates** them beyond the political histories of the nation-state, Cold War isolation and East-West antagonism. It invites readers to question what is ‘socialist’ about television in Europe and reflect upon concepts, methods and approaches pertaining to (post)socialist television in Europe.* The issue is guest edited at the initiative of *The European (Post)Socialist Television History Network*. It continues the series of activities launched by the network with the aim to stimulate research on television histories from Eastern Europe, encourage comparative approaches to television in the region and create a dialogue with European television scholarship. VIEW, the Journal of European Television History and Culture is the first peer-reviewed, multi-media and open access e-journal in the field of European television history and culture. It provides an international platform for outstanding academic research and archival reflection on television as an important part of our European cultural heritage.
