Extract
Scholars from different disciplines are seeking to construct the new field of post-communism, which has been created by the implosion of the communist regime. They explore the most important dimensions of the differences between various types of space and geographical territories: the spaces of identity and the social, political and geopolitical spaces in certain countries of Central Europe (Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia), the Balkans (Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia) and the Russian world and its Eurasian borders (Russia, Mongolia, Buriatia, Kazakhstan, Moldavia and the Baltic states) not to mention the borders of the Middle or Far Eastern communist world (descriptions of China and the Middle East).

1. This collection contains some of the texts from a transdisciplinary seminar held in 2000-2001. The seminar brought together a range of disciplines working on the postcommunist space, including elements from the doctoral module ‘Économie, Organisation, Société' and other doctoral modules (knowledge and culture, political and legal science) offered by the UFR of Slavonic Languages and Civilisation in the Department of Sociologie at the University of Paris-X Nanterre, as well as invited speakers from elsewhere. After each paper a respondent gave comments, some of which we have published here. In 2001 the university of Paris-X Nanterre will launch a strand on the Central European, Balkan and Eastern countries (the Russian world and Eurasian borders) in the contemporary period, supported by the large Bibliothèque de Documentation Internationale Contemporaine, as well as the combined courses (sociology / geography and sociology /his tory / history of art) and integrated courses (sociology / Russian), enlarging the range of dual courses offered.
