Only Vanished Footprints or a Permanent Legacy? Exile Media and the Central European Public Space

Original language description

Chapter attempts to place publishing activity by Czechoslovaks in exile into the wider Central European context. Refugees began to publish exile periodicals in the West soon after the Communist takeover in February 1948. This initially served specifically for providing information to the exile community. Of most interest were those which perceived their public in the countries behind the Iron Curtain. The text focuses on several examples from exile magazines which focused not only on the situation in Czechoslovakia, but also dealt with additional issues as well as on developments throughout Eastern Europe. This was specifically the magazine Svědectví (Testimony) which was established in the autumn of 1956, this being the time of the Hungarian Uprising. The occupation of Czechoslovakia by the armies of the Warsaw Pact in August 1968 resulted in another large-scale wave of immigration to the West. The new exile generation was particularly productive in the sphere of information, publishing and culture in general. Listy (Pages), published in Rome, ranked among the most significant Czechoslovak exile periodicals. Czechoslovak, Poland and Hungarian immigrants began, however, to move away from closely defined national borders and started preparing projects with an international focus. A number of them actually anticipated the developments after the year 1989.
