About the book
Cold War Imaginaries
The precarious balance of power held in place during the Cold War structured not only global geopolitics but the experience of reality itself for populations across the world. In the increasingly unpredictable multipolar world of the twenty-first century, how have conceptions of time and history forged in the Cold War come to shape and trouble our understanding of the present?
Building on the previous collection Cold War Legacies: Systems, Theory, Aesthetics (EUP, 2016) but extending further beyond the U.S.-Soviet binary and focusing in particular on questions of history, temporality, agency and representation, this new collection gathers scholars and artists who investigate the ways in which the contemporary world continues to be shaped by ideas, values and practices that had been codified, intensified and institutionalised during the decades of the Cold War.
