The Iron Curtain was not an impenetrable divide, and contacts between East and West took place regularly and on various levels throughout the Cold War. This book explores how the European tourist industry transcended the ideological fault lines and the communist states attracted an ever-increasing number of Western tourists. Based on extensive original research, it examines the ramifications of tourism, from sun-and-sea package tours to human rights travels, in key Eastern European locations including East Berlin, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and Albania. The book’s analysis of the politics, culture, and history of tourism to the East offers important new perspectives on European tourism in the twentieth century.The Introduction of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Mediehistoria är idag ett snabbt växande fält som vidgats till att omfatta långt mycket mer än studier av medieteknologier eller institutioner som press, radio, film och TV. I denna antologi breddar författarna ramen och analyserar allt från vardagsnära trycksaker till transnationella politiska fenomen, med andra ord sådana motiv som länge uteslutits ur mediernas historiografi.

I åtta kapitel visar författarna på styrkorna med att använda ett brett mediebegrepp. Bokens första del behandlar mediesystem och mediehändelser, exemplifierade i fallstudier av spiritistiska seanser, Gallupundersökningar, kejsare Wilhelm II:s medierade persona och begravningen av den före detta statsministern Karl Staaff. Den andra delen fokuserar på mediematerialiteter och infrastrukturer såsom konstkopior, kontorspärmar, guideböcker och gestaltningen av medieteknologier i IKEA-kataloger.

Expanding media histories riktar sig i lika hög grad till studenter som forskare genom att presentera ny empirisk forskning som tar avstamp i centrala mediehistoriska nyckelbegrepp.

Medverkande: Sune Bechmann Pedersen, Marie Cronqvist, Christine Davidsson Sandal, Henning Hansen, Ulrika Holgersson, Charlie Järpvall, Charlotta Krispinsson, Betto van Waarden, Eskil Vesterlund.
