Part of the Performing Revolution in Central and Eastern Europe Festival, here are today’s goings-on at Columbia:
After Communism: Achievement and Disillusionment since 1989
February 26-27, 2010
Panel schedule: Friday at 2:00pm, 3:45pm, 5:30pm and 7:15pm | Saturday at 2:00pm, 3:45pm, 5:30pm
Presented by The Harriman Institute at Columbia University in association with the Polish Cultural Institute in New York, Romanian Cultural Institute in New York, and Austrian Cultural Forum.
This multi-day symposium brings together public intellectuals, policymakers, cultural figures, and academics from both sides of the Atlantic to assess the global meaning of the 1989 revolutions in East-Central Europe and their aftermaths. Speakers will discuss the changes in our understanding of the Communist system and the sources of its collapse, and the age of “post-communism,” a condition whose contours and duration remain unclear.
