This workshop explores the impact of political regimes and ideologies on leisure, and the shifting perceptions and discourses surrounding leisure time throughout the 20th century in Central and Eastern Europe: What can we learn about the changing practices of leisure in CEE by considering the effects of war(s), revolution(s), deportation(s), and shifting ideologies on leisure in the region? How leisure activities and associated artefacts served as a form of resistance or resilience during challenging times? What is the role of leisure in maintaining cultural identity and providing a sense of normalcy during crises?

Keynote Lecture
"Coffehouses Mean Fun, Coffeehouses Mean Work: Leisure as Labor in the late Habsburg Empire" by Dr. Lea Horvat (Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Department of Cultural History)
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, coffeehouses served as a prime example of emerging intellectual, political, and artistic groups (not only) in Central and Eastern Europe. However, when discussing such places-considered the epitome of leisure-most scholarly work focuses on the experiences of visitors and consumers, with less attention given to employees. The lecture delves into the cultural history of the service industry in the late Habsburg Empire-a work- place significantly shaped by capitalism, labor struggles, intensified consumer culture, and patriarchal laws.
