Information about the 2028 issue of the Institute of National Remembrance Review (deadline for submitting articles: June 2027)

The issue of the Institute of National Remembrance Review scheduled for publication in 2028 will focus on A comparative approach to the cultural, political and social dimensions of the 1968 revolution in both East and West.

Although the specifics differed due to Cold War realities, the 1968 revolution had comparable cultural, social and political dimensions in both the East and West. The editorial board therefore expects submissions of papers concerning the 1968 movements centred on anti-war protests, the civil rights movement, and counterculture in the West, which challenged established liberal democratic institutions head on, and the movements in the East which were more often a direct response to state-socialist control and Soviet influence, leading to demands for political freedom.

Proposed thematic areas:

– The Cold War and the 1968 revolution: scale of difference in narratives on both sides of the Iron Curtain?

– Could culture be considered a central force on the geopolitical map in 1968?

– The events of 1968 as a transnational movement: shared ideas and biographies.

– The ideologies which inspired the ‘1968 Generation.’

– The three ‘M’s: Marx, Mao, and Marcuse as the main intellectual influences of the 1960.

– Rebels against Establishment in West and East – case study.

– March 1968 in Poland – students and intellectuals protest against the ruling party.

– Prague Spring and Soviet intervention.

– May 1968 in France.

– 1968: the year that changed the United States of America.

– Demonstrations against the Vietnam War, and the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia – comparative reflections.
