Journal for Philosophy and Cultural Studies Topos announces the call for papers for the new issue.
The topic of the issue:
OVERCOMING AUTHORITARIANISM: BELARUS AND THE EASTERN EUROPEAN REGION 30 YEARS LATER
The collapse of the Soviet Union unleashed two contrasting reactions: the existential anxiety, caused by the loss of both the familiar worldview and of the state system of social protection, was combined with ardent hopes for a bright future and the enthusiastic belief that a fundamentally different society would emerge. Two core concepts — of national revival and liberalization — defined the ideological guidelines for a new modernization loop in the newly formed states. At the same time, among the European countries of the “post-Soviet region” that appeared on the map, it was in the Republic of Belarus as early as in the 90s that reversive trends gained the ground: with Lukashenka coming to power, the suppression of the national culture and the strengthening of authoritarian governance started unfolding in all the spheres of public life. The new authoritarian regime exposed salient Soviet heredity, but it differed from the Soviet system in important ways due to its inclusion in the context of global capitalism. This ambivalent situation reveals the limitations of the dominant model of interpreting the post-Soviet socio-economic transformations in the vein of transitology and catching-up modernization, or imitating Western liberal democracies.
In the announced issue, we invite potential authors to consider the 30-year history as well as the current state of affairs in Belarus and other European countries that emerged from the former socialist republics from the perspective of collective and individual efforts, which — directly or indirectly — aimed at overcoming authoritarianism.
This approach has two methodological advantages. First, it enables going beyond the linear logic of the "post-Soviet transit" by discarding the comparison with the ideal-typical "Western" model and focusing instead on the complex interplay of the locally embedded cultural, historical, axiological, moral and political factors. Secondly, it resonates with the current global agenda of the crisis of democracy, in particular, with the strengthening of authoritarian tendencies in some EU countries.
Topics to be addressed in the special issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
We particularly welcome the interdisciplinary approach, the combination of philosophical and expert analysis, of theoretical and empirical research, and comparative studies (bringing together experiences from different countries), as well as the discussion of relevant regional authors.

The researches are encouraged to pay particular attention to integration and dissemination of the latest biotechnologies within the medical sector (locally and globally) and to the effects they have on existential experience, moral judgement and necessity of legal regulation. Similarly, we are interested in the changes of patients’ awareness, and also in the self-reflection of medical community in regard to gradual liberalization of public life and cultural globalization in the post-Soviet countries.
