The demise of Communism remains an important research topic for Humanand Social Sciences. Twenty years on, with the benefit of hindsight, researchon the phe­no­menon has been enriched, its instruments refined to respond tothe complexity of the concepts involved as well as to the critical andtheoretical approaches in circulation. These are now applied to a field ofinvestigation enriched by the publication of new documents and testimonies, aswell as by the opening of document archives inaccessible until recently.Building on the topic of boundary negotiation within communism, this issue of Echinox Journal reunites several generations ofresearchers from various European countries, ap­plying different perspectiveson a phenomenon characterised by the complexity of a whole “continent”. It is a continent possessing a typical geography and therefore makingneces­sary a good mapping at all levels: historical, political, social,psychological, cultural and literary. We do not claim having achieved such amap, but do believe that this issue of E­chinoxJournal canprovide a series of suggestions and keys perhaps landmarks, useful for a readerinterested in (re)visiting the complex topic of Communism.

In designing this volume, we started from the idea of “boundary”,imposition or li­mit, as one of the main realities of a totalitarian regime, atwork at all social and cultural le­vels of the Eastern European societies. Thesymbolical boundary (a sort of imaginary “wire fencing”) was present in allwalks of life, from the closed geographical borders to the ideologicalrestrictions enforced upon culture and literature (as a new, ideologically im­posed“canon”). Professional and even private life was subject to various boundaries(from the freedom of speech to the controlled distribution of workplaces,houses, food, everyday items and so on). The system was the only one to decidewhich the accepted limits were, be they in everyday life, legislation, culture,press, education or art. Thisissue of Echinox Journal investigates therefore the manner in which the idea of boundary,totalitarian imposition or limitation is perceived by post-communist researchtoday, especially by a new generation, as the volume features contributionssigned mainly by researchers spe­cialised after 1989 and who thus re­cover andtry to make sense of – in many papers through direct access to recently openofficial archives –an important part of their countries' history (but alsohistory of literature or social history), benefiting from the current frameworkof research, the new means and perspectives.
