| Summary: | Having been seen, at first, as the foundation of a "rebirth", both European and global, the "refolutions" of 1989 left a highly controversial legacy which is still subject of political memory clashes and a source of "cultural bipolarities", but also of disillusionment and polarizations within multiple mnemonic communities. These contradictions, anchored in the "traumatogenic changes" of the democratic transitions that engendered, at the end of the 90s, post-socialist nostalgia, are also related to a crisis of utopian thinking which characterized the moment 1989 itself and became a main feature of post-Cold War political-cultural paradigms, including the mnemonic ones, dominated by the traumatic legacy of the "century of extremes". |
