How much was today's world order shaped by the 
Cold War era and its end? What events represent 
important caesurae of the East-West conflict 
besides the year 1989, for instance the founding 
of the United Nations, the Decolonization 
starting in the 1960s and the catastrophe of 
Chernobyl etc.? What role did new social, 
political, and ecological movements, as well as 
regional and international organisations play in 
this? How were literature, the visual and 
performing arts deployed as salient battlefields 
in the global Cold War? And which changes are 
difficult to explain from an European point of 
view or are not a direct outcome of the end of 
the conflict? With you, we would like to discuss 
these and other questions on eight different 
tables.

We kindly invite you to the WeberWorldCafé 
"Globalisation during the Cold War: Culture, New 
Geopolitics and Che Guevara". It will take place 
on November 16, 2015 from 4:30 to 8 pm at the 
Literaturcafé im Haus des Buches Leipzig.

The WeberWorldCafé is an interactive, biannual 
event format that brings together researchers and 
practitioners from various disciplines and 
regions who meet and exchange their thoughts in a 
relaxed, coffeehouse-like atmosphere. To enrich 
the discussions we particularly invite students, 
young scholars and the interested public to 
participate in the talks.
