Накратко на български

Културните реакции към прехода в Полша, Чехия и Словакия се анализират чрез филми и сериали за теми като мафията и икономическата престъпност. Това помага да се разбере как киното е отразявало новите пазарни условия и обществения дискурс през 90-те години.

Articulating the free market: A cultural history of the economic transformation in Central Europe, 1989-1999

This project looked at the cultural responses to the systemic transformations in Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia after 1989 through the prism of films and television series. The study brought together approaches from a variety of social science disciplines in order to question how cultural production represented these changes arising from the new economic conditions and acted as a significant contributor to public discourse. The project analysed film and television series produced in the 1990s to uncover a wider regional dynamic, with case studies from the Polish, Czech, and Slovak contexts. This decade has often been remembered as a time of new-found freedom, but also excess. A number of producers of films and television series attempted to capture these new realities. Filmmakers, and television directors such as Władysław Pasikowski, Krzysztof Krause, Vít Olmer, Juraj Jakubisko, Věra Chytilová, Wojciech Wójcik and Jaroslav Hanuš tackled new social phenomena brought about by the sudden deregulation of the market and decline of the authoritarian structures of the state, including economic crime, prostitution, drug use, the development of mafia structures, etc, in their work. The enquiry analysed the different strategies of portraying these topics in visual production and how these works interacted with economic ideas that circulated in the public sphere, in the broader context of the transformations of institutional structures in culture industries. It will thus trace how economic ideas and language informed the creative force of cultural producers’ conversations about the changing economic and political landscape during the systemic transformations. The final project sought a reappraisal and new approach to the systemic transformations of the 1990s; an assessment of the role that cultural production played in rendering economic change intelligible through its representation; and an investigation of how the circulation of economic ideas and language gave the transformations social coherence and validity. Research conducted revealed two key topics that will merit from further investigation by historians and scholars of related disciplines: the crucial role of entrepreneurship as a central category structuring the artistic imagination and new social stratification of the 1990s; and the "gendered economic imaginaries" of the transforation that popular culture of the period produced.

Цел на проекта

This project excavates how cultural production was influenced by and interacted with the introduction of free market mechanisms in Central Europe after 1989. Concentrating specifically on the 1990s, it argues that this decade now deserves to be studied historically, rather than being understood as part of a present “post-communist” condition. The collapse of state socialism and (re)instatement of democracy has been theorised from an economic, political, and social perspective, but its significance for cultural production has been neglected. This project analyses how this economic change was perceived and rooted in society through cultural representations. Specifically, it investigates how the fields of cinema and television responded to the introduction of a free market economy in Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia. Its main object of investigation is the reciprocal relationship between the effects of economic change on cultural production and this production as an agent in economic change. The proposed research will attend to the cultural dimension of the economic transformation in order to understand the symbolic meanings and narratives that gave the economic and political changes coherence and social validity at the time. The project’s original intervention lies in applying historical questions to an area that has been primarily dealt with in the disciplines of political science, economics, and sociology. It will thus be at the forefront of the agenda of the host institution which is concerned with investigating the introduction and development of capitalism and liberal democracy in the region in a historical context, making it ideally positioned to provide all the necessary infrastructure and leading expertise on the topic in question. This project will offer a novel cultural history angle on the study of the systemic transformations of the 1990s by producing an array of scholarly and popularizing outputs.
