The debate on postsocialism in CEE will be presented in the global context. We will discus relationships and possible links between theories of postsocialism and postcolonial theory as well as theories of globalization and global governance.
Full description:	The goal is an enhanced how postsocialist lives are defined, experienced and understood by those living them. In so doing, we will focus on the contradictions, paradoxes and ambiguities of postsocialism by looking closely at are gender, religion practice and its transformations, politics, economy, heritage and food politics. Each topic will be held by the teachers from various V4 countries. Also most examples and texts will focus on V4 countries. A juxtaposition will allow us to think comparatively of different postsocialisms, as well as read more carefully and critically that describe postsocialism more in general.
