TV Socialism | Aniko Imre

In TV Socialism, Aniko Imre provides an innovative history of television in socialist Europe during and after the Cold War.These televisual practices challenge conventional understandings of culture under socialism, divisions between East and West, and the divide between socialism and postsocialism. Taking a broad regional perspective encompassing Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, Imre foregrounds continuities between socialist television and the region's shared imperial histories, including the programming trends, distribution patterns, and reception practices that extended into postsocialism.
