| dc.description | Interview Themes: How Shore came to be interested in history, people who influenced her, and the “susceptibility to being transported” (1:48); How Shore came to be aware that she was living history in Eastern Europe in the 1990s and the “un-grounded” and “up-in-the-air” feel of that time (8:08); What did people like Shore, who came of age intellectually in the 1990s, see or miss when compared with those who came before or those who came after? (11:58); How Shore approaches writing: principles and idols (on “keeping the language fresh” and “setting the scene” as opposed to “telling the reader what to think”) (16:58); On empathizing with the subjects of one’s work (25:20); On what holds Shore’s body of work together: dynamics of generation, friendship (32:40); Going to Eastern Europe to seek meaning: how does one arrive at the fundamental questions? (39:15); Is there an identifiable “Naimark school” of those who studied under Norman Naimark (45:35); What is at stake in considering oneself of an intellectual historian who focuses on a particular region? (51:05); Is Eastern Europe becoming “real” again through events in Ukraine and on the Maidan? On the “return of metaphysics” and knowing that—for better or worse—“anything is possible.” (57:25); Shore on the “miraculous transformation of subjectivity” in Ukraine (1:05:28); How should we be training the next generation of scholars in the field?
