Queer, Utopian, and Ludic Temporalities in Eastern European Cultural Memory

We seek papers on temporalities in Post-Soviet culture that are alternative to the “Golden Age Revivals” of officialdom: queer, ludic, consumerist, high modernist, all structured by play and fragmentation, instead of power and authority.

Deadline for submissions: Sunday, March 15, 2026
