From Birth To Death: Age and Ageing in the Postsocialist Transformation

The Hannah Arendt Institute for Totalitarianism Studies (HAIT) at the TU Dresden organizes this international conference to engage with the question of how the various ages experienced changing postsocialist realities. Up to today the post-1989 transformation has had long-lasting effects on lives and biographies in postsocialist societies. Yet, there are no uniform experiences of ‘the’ transformation. Be it in East Germany or the countries of East Central Europe, the various age groups experienced and responded differently to the political and social transformation in the past and remember and speak about it today in different ways. This requires paying special attention to the dimension of age when it comes to understanding the political, social, and biographical implications of the postsocialist transformation. The contributions by international scholars from Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and the US will discuss ageing in the postsocialist transformation in five thematic panels on young children, young adults, generations and family constellations, adults, and old age. Online participation via zoom is possible for all registered attendees. Please register until 17 September by email to: Maren.Hachmeister@mailbox.tu-dresden.de
