Developing Liberty: Dimensions of East Central Europe's Transformations in the 20th and 21st Centuries
Sat, November 23, 8:00 to 9:45am EST (8:00 to 9:45am EST), Boston Marriott Copley Place, Floor: 4th Floor, Grand Ballroom Salon JSession Submission Type: Panel
Brief Description
Our panel addresses the problem of differing forms of transformation throughout the 20th and 21st century history of East-Central Europe. Focusing on the Polish case (and Ukrainian seen through a Polish lense) we show how the notion of liberty differs when met with various socio-economical conditions. A side effect of the transformations into capitalism and Soviet socialism was a creation of different versions of liberty which were far from being the ones that were desired. These “revolutions from abroad” were met with local conditions that challenged them both intellectually and socially, resulting in a dysmorphic reality.
