The post-1945 Cold War grouping of Communist-bloc countries under the
banner of “Eastern” Europe often obscures the fact that the region’s

and managed its own space of the (Western) Other. We are hoping for a
dialogue about how these different cultures adapted, reproduced,
subverted, or redefined the West and reinvented themselves in the
process. To what extent have the conventions of different literary or

at that time, deeply deeply attached.
