The studies in this book range from general accounts of the background of recent historical revisionism to focused analyses of particular debates or social-cultural phenomena in individual Central European countries, from Germany to Ukraine and Estonia. Where is the borderline between legitimate re-examination of historical interpretations and attempts to rewrite history in a politically motivated way that downgrades or denies essential historical facts? How do the traditional ?national historical narratives? react to the ?spill-over? of international and political controversies into their ?sphere of influence?? Technological progress, along with the overall social and cultural decentralization shatters the old hierarchies of academic historical knowledge under the banner of culture of memory, and breeds an unequalled democratization in historical representation. This book offers a unique approach based on the provocative and instigating intersection of scholarly research, its political appropriations, and social reflection from a representative sample of Central and East European countries. 606 $aBiography & True Stories$2bicssc 607 $aEurope, Central$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aEurope, Central$xHistory$y20th century$xHistoriography 610 $aCentraland Eastern Europe 610 $acommunism 610 $ahistoriography 610 $aHolocaust 610 $aHungarian revolution 610 $amemory 610 $amorality 610 $anationalism 610 $apolitics 610 $apost-1989 610 $apost-Soviet Estonia 610 $arevisionism 610 $aSoviet Union 615 7$aBiography & True Stories 676 $a943.0009/04072 701 $aKopecek$b Michal$0878976 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910131776903321 996 $aPast in the making$93360106 997 $aUNINA
