ERE1997HS Comparative Central/East European Resistance and Dissent

Course Description : This course analyses specific cases/geographic-temporal contexts in the post-Stalinist era in Central and Eastern Europe. Legacies of “dissidence” for post-Communist politics and ongoing opposition politics and resistance in contemporary post-Soviet space will be examined, with a view of how the historiography has evolved, memory politics has intervened, and authoritarian “learning” has mitigated the possibilities for non-violent and effective dissent. Communist and post-communist resistance and dissent will be situated in the wider interdisciplinary literatures on comparative revolutions, contentious politics, as well as social movement history and organization.
