> SOCIALIST CULTURE IN THE AGE OF DISCO
> 
> Accounts of culture in the Socialist Bloc are punctuated by moments of dramatic climate change: the Khrushchevian Thaw, the Prague Spring.  But what was happening in socialist culture during the "stagnant" 1970s?  This panel welcomes papers on any aspect of 1970s culture in socialist East Europe and/or the USSR, including but not limited to literature, visual culture, television, radio, and other mass media.
