[ecrea] special issue on 'Television Histories in (Post)Socialist Europe'

VIEW Issue 5: Television Histories in (Post)Socialist Europe

VIEW Journal of European Television History and Culture is proud to 
present its fifth issue on 'Television Histories in (Post)Socialist 
Europe.' This issue lays the ground for television histories from 
Eastern Europe as an emerging area of study and situates them beyond the 
political histories of the nation-state, Cold War isolation and 
East-West antagonism. It invites readers to question what is ‘socialist’ 
about television in Europe and reflect upon concepts, methods and 
approaches pertaining to (post)socialist television in Europe.

The issue is guest edited at the initiative of The European 
(Post)Socialist Television History Network. It continues the series of 
activities launched by the network with the aim to stimulate research on 
television histories from Eastern Europe, encourage comparative 
approaches to television in the region and create a dialogue with 
European television scholarship.

VIEW, the Journal of European Television History and Culture is the 
first peer-reviewed, multi-media and open access e-journal in the field of
European television history and culture. It provides an international 
platform for outstanding academic research and archival reflection on 
television as an important part of our European cultural heritage.

The issue is freely available at: http://journal.euscreen.eu/.
