The purpose of the international conference ‘Images of others in Central and Eastern Europe. Continuity and change in mutual perception in the period 1968–89’ was a reconstruction of ‘images of others’ at the national and international level, and a presentation of the diversity and the many dimensions of communication processes that generate those images.
