Idei în Agora / Ideas in the Agora, L 1989-2019 From Dystopia to Posthistory Public debate in conjunction with the Royal Colloquium on the same topic Part of the Ideas in the Agora Festival 2019 Introduced and moderated by Gregory Claeys and Sorin Antohi Casa Filipescu-Cesianu, Calea Victoriei 151 23 iunie 2019, 18:00
In 1989, Eastern Europe and the world seemed to enter a new axial time. With the fall of state communism (a process which was continued in 1991) in most parts of the world, really-existing dystopia appeared to recede and collapse, while a return to history was proclaimed. Even the end of history as usual was announced (this was the good news!). Thirty years later, those visions of historical banality regained or post-historical bliss need to be critically examined and checked against reality. Indeed, what is the balance sheet and what are the meanings of our last three decades? To discuss all of the above and more, an interdisciplinary Royal Colloquium was convened on 22-23 June at the Bucharest City Museum (open to the public; the program is circulated separately) and Elisabeta Palace (conferral of the Sixth Cantemir Award, by invitation only), under the High Patronage of HRH Prince Radu of Romania.
This public debate (in English; interventions in Romanian welcome) concludes the colloquium and extends it in the framework the Ideas in the Agora Festival 2019. The festival, devoted to the analysis of the period between 1989 and 2019, is planned in modular form. The next module is scheduled on 1-4 October, and focuses on Germany and Romania in European and global contexts.
