Cultural exchange as Architecture’s expanded fieldJasna GaljerDepartment of Art History, University of ZagrebWith focus on the phenomena of constructing memories as concepts of culture, the proposed paper analyses the concepts and typologies of architectural criticism through representational practices of the period 1960-1990.  There has never been a thorough critical perspective of politically charged debates on history of Eastern European intellectual critical engagement or systematic study on theoretical achievements in architecture of late socialism. Nevertheless, as recent studies (Lukasz Stanek) have shown, the dynamics and the exchanges between international intellectual networks expand far beyond the disciplinary boundaries.By exploring the context of networks, critiques, debates, dialogues and collaborative practices, the proposed paper aims to clarify the position of theoretical issues involved in the project of societal modernisation.The thematic framework are the case studies on cultural transfer in the field of philosophy, theory, sociology, spatial research, and architectural discourse. Theoretical and methodological point of departure is the analysis of the Praxis circle in disseminating the intense intellectual exchanges and Summer School of Philosophy held in Korčula (1964-1974) with its guest speakers Henri Lefebvre, Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, Lucien Goldmann, Jürgen Habermas, Ernst Bloch, Agnes Heller, Leszek Kolakowski, followed by comprehensive translations and publications of their writings in the periodical press, particularly Praxis journal. This paper investigates the reception of ideas and ideologies, from Lefebvre’s theoretical studies and Habermas's thesis of modernity as an incomplete, i.e., unfinished project to Fredric Jameson’s arguments in a historical context of cultural modernity simultaneous with these texts, but in different conditions.Wide range of phenomena are included; from the first attempts to write and rewrite the history of architecture which coincided with architecture in the expanded field of experimental and conceptual practices at the beginning of the 1970s, to postmodernist narratives redefining the questions of identity by using the strategies of performing arts through the 1980s.&#160;Jasna Galjer holds a PhD in Art History and Comparative Literature from Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, University of Zagreb.
