- The course focuses on memory strategies in contemporary literature and film in relation to traumatic past events in Eastern Europe, furthermore, on the representations of bodies in film as a discursive space and surface and examines the formations of institutional control of human bodies (for example, through sport, children’s bodies were transformed into bodies disciplined in the pedagogy of state socialism). The codes of intimacy and institutionality will also be explored in the course through the axis of East-West/West-East border crossings, phenomena that will bring us closer to a more nuanced understanding of the post/socialist human condition in Eastern Europe.
