It aims at providing an essentially European point of view on the cultural Cold War, providing fresh insight into little known connections and cooperation in different artistic fields. Chapters of the volume address photography and architecture, popular as well as classical music, theatre and film, and fine arts. By examining different actors ranging from individuals to organizations such as universities, the volume brings new perspective on the mechanisms and workings of the cultural Cold War. Finally, the volume estimates the pertinence of the Cold War and its influence in post-1991 world.The volume offers an overview on the role culture played in international politics, as well as its role in the Cold War more generally, through interesting examples and case studies.Rethinking the Cold War (Berlin, Germany) ;v. 4.ArtsPolitical aspectsHistory20th centuryArts and diplomacyHistory20th centuryPolitics and cultureHistory20th centuryCultural diplomacyHistory20th centuryCold WarSocial aspectsElectronic books.ArtsPolitical aspectsHistoryArts and diplomacyHistoryPolitics and cultureHistoryCultural diplomacyHistoryCold WarSocial aspects.909.825Mikkonen Simo, Parkkinen Jari, Scott-Smith Giles, DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996472051503316Entangled East and West2843198UNISA
