  abstract = { The conference explored the remains, revenants and legacies of Soviet Constructivism through the 1940-1970s {\textendash} both in the USSR and beyond. We are interested in historically grounded and theoretically informed papers that map out the post-utopian and disenchanted period of {\textquotedblleft}the Constructivist method.{\textquotedblright} No longer {\textquotedblleft}a Communist expression of material constructions{\textquotedblright} (to use Gan{\textquoteright}s formulation), these belated Constructivisms made themselves known mostly indirectly: for example, in the heated debates about the role and importance of aesthetics under socialism, in the functionalist idiom of mass housing, in the visual organization of museum space, or in the reception and development of constructivist concepts in architectural deconstruction. },
