Culture Shock: Consumerism in Post-Communist CultureÊÊ[Board-Sponsored Panel]

The irony of the European revolutions of 1989 is that the expansion of Western consumer culture, 
formerly deemed "immoral" or "decadent" by communist regimes, now appears as a rather 
ambiguous victory given that both dissents and former official artists must struggle to survive in 
the free market. A sufficient amount of time has elapsed for body of work that addresses the 
paradoxical impact of consumer culture on former communist states is beginning to emerge. This 
panel invites papers that analyze how post-communist writers, filmmakers and artists represent 
consumer culture (either positively or negatively). 

Submit abstracts to Martha Kuhlman: mkuhlman at bryant.edu, and Alexander Mihailovic:
