Sažetak
In this work author notes that due to globalization processes, triggered through new technologies, cultural transition occurs at different levels all over the world. She concentrates on three theoretical research areas important for studying cultural transitions in Eastern European (EE) region. These are: East European studies, cultural studies and the current regional cultural research. During last decade these areas had to position themselves in relation to Marxism, which was a prevailing theoretical framework of cultural research during socialism and communism. Due to their complex discourses and the connection with Marxism, cultural studies did not evolve as a particular specialization within social studies. However, the key problem of cultural research in EE is the loss of focus after the dissolution of former regimes. Transition did not provide a supportive framework for further development and specialization of social studies and humanities.
