Summary/Abstract: The article refl ects on possibility that Ewa Domańska’s ideas, most prominently “rescue history” and “existential history”, could be of great benefi t to the cultural studies of Central and Eastern Europe. Domańska’s project has, at its heart, the notion of building knowledge which maximises the chance of survival in the face of an uncertain future. As such, the article argues, her ideas marry perfectly with studies of Central and Eastern Europe, area deeply troubled by international issues. A latter section of the article focuses on the practicalities of using “rescue history” ideas within the cultural studies of Eastern Europe.
