Description
Curating (Post-)Socialist Environments by Philipp Schorch and Daniel Habit Transcript Verlag, 2021, 344 pages, paperback. This volume explores how environments are shaped in post-socialist contexts, examining the relationships between built spaces, memory, identity, and material culture. It delves into the spatial, visual, and aesthetic dimensions of these enactments, revealing how they become curated over time. By moving beyond traditional museological frameworks, this book investigates (post-)socialist interventions in environments as they are re-curated in private life-worlds and urban settings. The result is a nuanced understanding of how memory, identity, and material culture intersect in shaping our surroundings.
