The lecture describes the post-soc condition in the Central-Eastern European region by summarizing its historical, political, economic, societal and cultural contexts. It introduces the new cultural policies implemented in the post-soc countries after 1990, and also presents how the institutions of the contemporary visual art have been evolving since then. The conditions of art making and the position of artists in society are also discussed in details. The basic methodology and terminology of the science of art history related to this topic, and the propositions to re-construct, or re-write the existing scientific paradigms are briefly discussed; and the discourse on these propositions are introduced by a list of publications, projects and exhibitions. The lecture introduces art practice from the post-soc countries, focussing mainly on the socially and politically engaged art; and study cases from feminist, or gender-related art. Resources related to the topic are offered to the students for further research.
The gained capabilities constitute an encompassment and an aquirement of knowledge and experience in the subject and are aimed at a profile´s fulfilment of the graduate of the given field of study.
