The Late Socialist Good Life in Bulgaria - Meaning and Living in a Permanent Present Tense

Informationen zum Autor Cristofer Scarboro, PhD is a professor of history at King's College. Klappentext This book investigates the question of subjectivity-how people made sense of a world that was supposed to be understood within centrally created ideological frameworks. It brings together the literature of socialism, nationalism and trans-nationalism, and post-colonialism, areas that have been heretofore all too discreet. How states attempt to model subjects, and the negotiation this entails, is the central question of the modern era. It will be of interest to scholars and students in a wide range of subjects from history to anthropology to aesthetics. Inhaltsverzeichnis Acknowledgments Chapter 1.
