【17th Feb., 23】TUFS-CEU Joint Doctoral Workshop: Rethinking the Concept of the ‘Public’: Case Studies from the Socialist States
The “History in the Public Spheres” (HIPS) program will host a joint workshop organized by TUFS and CEU. Three early-stage Ph.D. students will use this platform to critically examine the concept of “public” based on the recent developments in the regional history of socialist states. Their presentations will focus on the case studies from Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and the Soviet Union, respectively, and address questions such as the role of intellectuals in shaping and participating in the “public spheres,” the essential features of media in which popular discussions were developed and negotiated, and the creation of a planetary-scale consciousness of the public. The research presentations hope to shed light on crucial aspects of the theoretical foundations of public history.
