Abstract

This Commentary is a contribution to the debate on the relevance of the concept of post-socialism today, and it considers reconceptualising rather than abandoning it. The key argument of the Commentary is that we should give up the ‘temporal container’ approach and scrutinise the metropolitan bias of earlier studies to grasp the multiple temporalities of post-socialism across various spatial contexts, and understand more how it is still fuelling uneven development through the signification and marginalisation of social practices and spaces of post-socialist transition as ‘internal others’ to the unfolding capitalist urbanism in Eastern Europe.
