Focused on the export of Socialist Realism into Europe after WWII, the authors look not so much at similarities as at the particularities of each specific national and cultural context. The introduction of the Soviet cultural model was not quite the smooth endeavour that it was intended to be; rather, it was always a work in progress, often born out of a give-and-take with the local authorities, intellectuals and interest groups. Those in charge had to negotiate the precarious terrain of local cultural and political controversies, caught between tradition and innovation in some countries, or, in others, between a sincere interest in the new concept of art and a complete refusal to accept new rules. Paradoxically, among all the different experiences of introducing, importing imposing Socialist Realism in the specific national contexts, the one thing in common is that each case was a response to the local conditions, a process of working through the challenge of inscribing a staunch theory into the daily reality of an unfamiliar country, language and culture."-- Provided by publisher "This collection on the export of Socialist Realism into Central and Eastern Europe after WWII is the first work on the subject which offers an in-depth analysis of the particularities of distinct national and cultural contexts and explores complexities of the cultural Sovietisation of the region"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Socialist realism in literature.
