Prague as a Cold War City and its Global Entanglements

Original language description

This workshop seeks to analyze and contextualize Prague as a Cold War city, examining its global interactions and transnational connections. Did Prague serve as an intermediary between the East, West, and Global South, and to what extent was it influenced by its global Cold War entanglements? How were the city's transnational dimensions shaped by the socio-political transformations following 1989, and what role did these factors play in the Velvet Revolution? These and other questions will be explored during the workshop, which will include panel discussions focusing on the topic of post-WWII Prague and will be concluded by a keynote lecture by Geoffrey Roberts. By comparing domestic and international perspectives and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, this workshop aims to offer deeper insights into Prague's historical trajectory. Such an approach should not only enhance our understanding of the city's past but also shed light on contemporary challenges facing Prague, the Czech Republic, and European society as a whole.
