ON COMMUNITIES
How are Eastern European communities bringing themselves together during the unsettled times of our own contemporaneity? What makes the people from this geographical region truly Eastern European? How have Eastern European communities managed to survive the unsettled times provoked by war, turmoil, social unrest, and exodus toward the more prosperous West? How do Eastern Europeans tackle the issue of constantly being outsiders? How do Eastern Europeans respond to their cities crumbling and shrinking?

ON UTOPIAS
In the case of Eastern Europe, it is the very fluid history of the region that makes it the perfect site for critically delving into its troubled relationship with the notion of utopia. That is why, especially here, we must continue to juxtapose the current desolate order with a well-established ideal. Focusing on revolts and rebels, on insurgency and visionaries, on the speculative and idealistic, the second issue of Kajet Journal seeks to decipher and resurface utopian alternatives.

ON STRUGGLE
This issue of Kajet seeks to reclaim a lost space in times of anxiety and provide an organised structure of support, becoming an instrument of solidarity between peripheries, between marginals that share a synchronous struggle. The Eastern European struggle is not that of catching up with the West or regaining foothold, but that of maintaining life. For this, we need to lay the foundations for a future-oriented experimental internationalism, one that bridges theory and practice in order to conceive a world beyond capital, one that is led through indignation, solidarity, persistence, and systematic planning. So, dear reader, rise in anger and stand firm in solidarity!

KAJET Journal 04
ON PERIPHERY
By producing an archaeology of the periphery, the 4th issue of Kajet explores the possibility of a revised vision for the future of Europe, not in a totalising manner, but in a critical way. Kajet alerts the centre of the possibility that there is not one world, not one history or one future without alternatives, but many disparate worlds that are lived at different rhythms, producing contradictory histories and futures. Paradoxes are necessary: to remain local but open, homogenous but plural, rooted yet adrift, anchored yet aware of what happens beyond one’s proximity. Our periphery is European and elsewhere altogether.
Chapters:
I. Liminal Enchantments
II. Imagining the Everyday
III. Empowering Modes of Thinking
IV. Peripheral Spaces
V. East—West Exchanges; Or, is There Life Beyond the Divide?
