 Call for Papers - Special Issue of CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and
Culture(December 2017): History, Memory and Reshaping Identity in
Post-Communist Literatures - Ed. Simona Antofi and Nicoleta Ifrim, 'Dunarea de
Jos' University of Galati, Faculty of Letters, Romania, Intercultural
Communication and Literature Research Centre 

This volume is intended for both scholars and a general readership interested
in contemporary aspects of post-communist literatures from East-Central Europe
which witness a special relation between History, Memory and reshaped identity
(be it personal or collective). Papers are invited to analyze strategies of
remembering communism in different types of discourse, from autobiographical
recollections to collective representations which re-define the post-traumatic
status of the Eastern intellectuals in relation to the 'rediscovered' West and
their transition dilemmas. The post-Soviet cultural practices work as an
identity-oriented interface of shared experience mirroring different attitudes
towards the communist legacies: the nostalgic revival of the past, adjusting
specific structures of othering or voicing out difference, recollection of
forms of anti-communist struggle, reliving experiences of trauma through
rewriting history, the oscillation between memory and amnesia, identifying
ways of resistance within the discursive practices, exile and its traumas etc.
Thus, the volume proposes a critical dialogue on ideologies, cultural
imaginaries, practices of remembering the communist past, strategies of
accommodation or resistance in post-Soviet East-Central cultures by use of
memory and identity-oriented praxis. 

Please send abstracts in 200 words with the authors contact information by 1
