The Dissent’s Left-Wing Legacy
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: April 28, 2016, 19:00 – 21:00
Today the central story of the Czechoslovak dissent is told from a position that ignores and plays down the independent socialist and reform communist currents that it contained. Is the legacy of Czechoslovak dissident ideologically interesting to today’s Czech left? Is it possible to build on it constructively? Or does the situation of today’s globalised world lend itself more to a search for inspiration in “Western thinking”?
Debate participants: historian Kristina Andělová, journalist Jaroslav Fiala, historian Jan Mervart, journalist Jakub Patočka and political scientist Ondřej Slačálek.
Czech Radio editor Magdaléna Trusinová will moderate.
