Thematic block "Everyday Life Perspectives on Work, Home, and 'the Soviet' from Estonia to Kyrgyzstan," guest edited by Laura L. Adams, Gulnara Aitpaeva):
• "'Working for Yourself': Resource Theft at a Factory in the Late Soviet Era," Olga Smolyak (in Russian).
• "Disembedding the Company from Kinship: Unethical Families and Atomized Labor in an Estonian Mine," Eeva Kesküla (in English).
• "After the Worker State: Competing and Converging Frames of Valuing Labor in Rural Kyrgyzstan," Jeanne Féaux de la Croix (in English) ** Article: "'Kept Things': Heterotopic Provocations in the Museal Representation of East German Everyday Life," Anne Winkler (in English) This article undertakes a reciprocally informed analysis of Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia and the temporary exhibition Aufgehobene Dinge: Ein Frauenleben in Ost-Berlin (Kept Things: A Woman's Life in East Berlin), on display in Eisenhüttenstadt, Germany, in 2010-2011. The exhibition emerges as site and practice that questions fundamentally how other contemporary museums represent East German everyday life. At the same time, Kept Things renders visible the mechanisms by which museums construct knowledge. The foundation for this article consists in an interrogation of the concept of heterotopia that emphasizes its methodological possibilities and capacity to reveal knowledge.
