Course objectives:
|
This course is intended for postgraduates/Masters students. The aim of the course will be to indicate the possible way of seeking answers to similar questions and to get orientated in the theoretical-methodological discussion about this topic. The collapse of communism in the Soviet block countries initiated the interest of social scientists in the study of so called transformating societies. One of its aspects is the cultural immanent analysis of so called real socialism considered as a special cultural type. With no doubts socialism initiated series of cultural changes, however were they about supercultural, subcultural or other variations of specific "traditional" culture? What were the cultural specifics of given epoch, wherein lay characteristics of socialist everyday life? To what extent and according to what logic were there initiated society-wide changes, which accompanied the "building" of socialism? Is it possible to talk about a "socialist way of life" as a set of typical standardizations and cognitive rules that would exceed the national bindings?
