Description
Television in socialist Europe during and after the Cold War offers a nuanced perspective on culture under socialism. Anikó Imre explores how television practices challenged conventional understandings of East-West divisions and the legacy of socialism. Imre's innovative history reveals rich evidence of hybrid aesthetic and economic practices, including exchanges with Western media, varied genre entertainment, and transcultural reception practices. By taking a broad regional perspective encompassing Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, Imre foregrounds continuities between socialist television and shared imperial histories. This book provides new insights into European socialist cultures and their global legacy, making it an important contribution to our understanding of post-Cold War developments.
