Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie Divided dreamworlds?
the cultural cold war in East and West
Gedrukt boek
While the divide between capitalism and communism, embodied in the image of the Iron Curtain, seemed to be as wide and definitive as any cultural rift, the authors have compiled a selection of essays on how culture contributed to the blurring of ideological boundaries between the East and the West. This publication presents insights into the tensions, rivalries, and occasional cooperation between the two blocs, with essays that represent the cutting edge of Cold War Studies and analyze aesthetic preferences and cultural phenomena as various as interior design in East and West Germany; the Soviet stance on genetics; US cultural diplomacy during and after the Cold War; and the role of popular music as the universal cultural ambassador.
