Whereas the fall of communism in 1989 was considered as a victory of democracy on authoritarism, thirty years later, the region is facing a wave of populist movements among the most virulent in Europe. How can we understand this paradox? In his book, Roman Krakovský offers a historical insight into east-central European populism.
Roman Krakovský is historian, lecturer at Geneva University, specialized on east-central Europe. Author of:
– Réinventer le monde. Le temps et l’espace en Tchécoslovaquie communiste (Publications de la Sorbonne, 2014)
– L’Europe centrale et orientale de 1918 à la chute du mur de Berlin (Armand Colin, 2018)
He has just published: Le populisme en Europe centrale. Un avertissement pour le monde ? (Fayard, 2019)
This debate is part of CEFRES Visegrad Forum and follows a book presentation in Bratislava, 4.11.2019.
Lecture by Laure Teulières on “Foreigners from Here: Migrants and Migrations in France through Films from Toulouse Cinematheque
When: Wednesday 26 April, 6:30-8 pm
Venue: French Institute in Prague (5th floor), Štěpánská 35, Prague 1
Language: French
An invitation to review a part of the history of immigration in France through a commented screening. The Toulouse Cinematheque, one of the main film archives in France, has led innovative research on migrants and migrations thanks to its collections. “Foreigners from Here” (as a book and as a program) is a way to share our findings with the public. Rather than quoting excerpts of famous films, the lecture will highlight rarely screened documents: some fiction, others news reports, institutional or activist fims, as well as family films.
Check Laure Teulières’s program in Warsaw and Prague in the frame of CEFRES Visegrad Forum on our calendar.
