> Call for Papers:
> International Conference
> The Media and the Political Change in Europe

> >From September 17 to September 20, 1999
> in Berlin
> Organised by Deutsches Historisches Museum
> Location: Martin Gropius Bau

> One of the most astonishing events in recent history is undoubtedly
> the process being described as change in Europe.  The increasing
> dissolving of the communist systems in Europe in 1989, the voluntary
> giving up of dictatureships, the vanishing of states could have
> hardly be foreseen. At any rate, the political reaction to the
> process of dissolving cannot be understood as consequent enforcement
> of a strategy having followed up for a long time. It is, in fact,
> rather a reaction than an action.

> The media - and above all the border passing means being available
> for radio and television - in multiple respect have a special
> significance for the look at the political change in Europe. In
> general one can say: the media have prepared, documented, commented
> and finally reflected the political change.

> However, and this shall not be hided, a great many of the available
> media have neglected this subject to a very high extent. The
> political change in Europe have not played a part in the majority of
> all programmes. They have ignored these processes persistently as
> they have equally not taken up the political developments.  It is
> remarkable that nevertheless their transmissions definitely have had
> a part in this change, because for the recipients beyond the iron
> curtain any information received has been considered invaluable,
> above all from the ideological point of view.  It is quite obvious
> that this extremely high value for those beyond the iron curtain
> could not come to mind to those on this side of the
> border. Therefore the conference will attend primarily to
> propagandistic programmes, news and information programmes, to
> documentaries, but on the same time to the reception of any kind of
> presentation to the recipients in East Europe.


> Main Subjects of the Conference:

> - Foundation of anti communist broadcasts (Radio Free Euope, Radio
> Liberty, RIAS)

> - Strategies of programmes of border passing transmissions during
> the cold war and afterwards

> - Reception of western media (radio, and later television) in East
> Europe

> - Importance of the media for East European dissident movements

> - Political crisises and reporting (17th of June in 1953, Hungary
> 1956, Prague 1968, Solidarnocz, etc)

> - Gorbatchew and the offensive exploitation in the (western) media

> - The importance of the KSZE final agreement (Helsinki) for the
> East-West exchange

> - The change in Europe nothing more than a media initiated
> revolution.

> - Summer and autumn 1989 in television

> - First attempts to summarize: features and documentaries in film
> and TV on the occasion of the anniversary of the change.
