Normalizační festival
Author: Přemysl Houda
6,00 €
The organization of folk concerts provides Přemysl Houda with a route into examining public space under late socialism. He follows organizers' everyday actions and questions simple divisions of cultural life into predetermined spheres.
The monograph will appeal to readers of contemporary history and cultural policy. Drawing on Alexei Yurchak's anthropological insights, it offers an alternative interpretation of an environment in which culture and power met in ambiguous relationships.
Houda examines the public sphere of late socialism through folk concert organizers and their everyday decisions.

What is Normalizační festival about?
The central actors are the people who made concerts possible and, through their actions, also changed the public environment. The book challenges established concepts of the gray zone and islands of freedom.
