DESCRIPTION:The postsocialist condition has been increasingly viewed as a global historical formation that needs to be incorporated as a critical position and analytical category enabling productive linkages and a more in-depth assessment of the post-Cold War order. Building on an awareness of differences between diverse forms of postsocialism, my presentation examines the production, circulation and transformation of life narratives from and about the former Eastern European communist countries. I discuss writings published post-1989 (in English or in translation) with a view to examining the role imagined or remembered life stories acquire in both national and transnational contexts.\n\n\n\nIoana Luca teaches American studies, American literature, life writing, memory studies and visual culture at National Taiwan Normal University. Her research focuses on exiles’ autobiographies, Eastern European—US connections in literature, music or film, as well as contemporary US fiction. She has published in Social Text, Biography, Rethinking History, Prose Studies, EJLW, Journal of American Studies, as well as chapters in several edited volumes.
