The unique peculiarities of Soviet repression have been the focus of many historical works. The impact of Soviet repression on the countries of the former USSR is indeed a very fertile and popular area of study in a variety of disciplines, from social sciences to memory studies. The same cannot be said about the literature generated by state repression in the USSR and in the countries of the Eastern bloc, which is indeed scarcely investigated, although it features prominent figures such as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Varlam Shalamov and Gustaw Herling-Grudziński – these authors are usually studied individually, i.e. in the absence of a unifying critical framework. The post-memorial works inspired by state repression in these countries, one of the most interesting strands of Russian and contemporary Central and Eastern Europe literature, are also understudied. We welcome proposals willing to investigate the issues above through an in-depth and, where possible, comparative approach.

The goal is to bring together those who are currently engaged with elements of Kojève’s oeuvre that have, at least up to now, been relegated to the status of ‘minor works’. These include, but are not limited to, his early ruminations on the philosophy of in-existence found in his “Diary of a Philosopher”, philosophy of religion (Solov’ev, atheism), philosophy of science (quantum physics, determinism), aesthetics (Kandinsky, Surrealism), political philosophy (authority, right), and ontology found in his so-called “attempt” at a system of knowledge. We also, of course, welcome scholarship that makes use of his many scattered writings in the form of letters, reviews, short essays and presentations.
