Short description:
Examines tamizdat, the unauthorized migration of underground literature across the Iron Curtain, arguing that this transnational cultural practice reinforced détente, dialogue, and cultural transfer, thereby challenging the belief in Europe's irreversible Cold War division. The book analyzes how individuals used secretive channels to facilitate the free flow of literature between the 'Other Europe,' Western Europe, and the United States, revealing the intertwined nature of Cold War literary cultures and offering a new perspective on the role of underground literature in creating gaps in the Iron Curtain.
MoreLong description:
Written Here, Published There offers a new perspective on the role of underground literature in the Cold War and challenges us to recognize gaps in the Iron Curtain. The book identifies a transnational undertaking that reinforced d&&&233;tente, dialogue, and cultural transfer, and thus counterbalanced the persistent belief in Europe's irreversible division.
It analyzes a cultural practice that attracted extensive attention during the Cold War but has largely been ignored in recent scholarship: tamizdat, or the unauthorized migration of underground literature across the Iron Curtain. Through this cultural practice, I offer a new reading of Cold War Europe's history. Investigating the transfer of underground literature from the 'Other Europe' to Western Europe, the United States, and back illuminates the intertwined fabrics of Cold War literary cultures. Perceiving tamizdat as both a literary and a social phenomenon, the book focuses on how individuals participated in this border-crossing activity and used secretive channels to guarantee the free flow of literature.
