The three-day conference Vom Samizdat zum Tamizdat. Dissident media crossing borders before and after 1989 (September 12-15, 2006; Institute for Human Sciences, [IWM], Website, Program [.pdf], Call for Papers) is dedicated to an analysis of the movement of printed material between Eastern and Western Europe (as well as across the Atlantic) during the Cold War. The project will deliberately expand the definition of "samizdat and tamizdat" and use it as a symbol of cultural transfer for analyzing a broad variety of cultural projects that shared the common character of crossing ideological, political or cultural borders during the Cold War. In order to establish a link to nowadays media, we propose to compare underground circulation of uncensored texts during the Cold War with evolving forms of journalism today, looking at new media and new forms of underground communication.
