Her 'two main research questions' (p. xviii) are the depth of US-American influence in Poland, their local 'adjustments' (ibid.), and the 'cultural diffusion' (p. xix) involved. As the title of her work suggests, the perspective is transnational; the author focuses on the exchange of people, concepts, and ideas from the late 1970s to the early 2010s, mainly (but not exclusively) between Poland and the United States. The main part of the book concentrates on developments after 1989; earlier developments are bundled up in shorter introductions of the respective chapters.}, language = {en} } @book{KeckSzajbelKlipaSimmethetal.2018, author = {Keck-Szajbel, Mark and Kl{\´i}pa, Ondřej and Simmeth, Alexander and Rose, Claudia and Schneider, Travis and Lo, Kung Yin Ian and Weismann, Stephanie and Samek, Tom{\´a}š}, title = {Cultures in Times of Transition.

These contributions range from the history of agricultural change, urban studies, linguistics, and legal history. They mirror the broadness of questions concerning the transition, but also hint at the heterochronous nature of those transformations.}, language = {mul} } @article{KeckSzajbelKlipaSimmeth2018, author = {Keck-Szajbel, Mark and Kl{\´i}pa, Ondřej and Simmeth, Alexander}, title = {Cultures in Times of Transition.
