Unlike so-called \u2018\u2019peaceful revolutions\u2019\u2019 in the rest of Eastern Europe, the collapse of socialism and the disintegration of Yugoslavia in a tragic war influenced the course of a specific local transition where change of the social system went hand in hand with a thorough and rapid metamorphosis of a new collective identity. A particular ideological treatment of Yugoslavia and socialism in institutional memory and mainstream political discourse continues to hold a prominent place in the process of building a new identity. Parallel to this process, a large number of literary and cultural texts articulated specific narratives about the recent socialist past. In this talk, Ma\u0161a Kolanovi\u0107 will provide insight into various figures and modes of literary and cultural articulations of the specific politics of remembrance, producing affective tones of nostalgia, melancholy, humor, trauma, as well as irony and parody, which are characteristic of the works of Dubravka Ugre\u0161i\u0107, Miljenko Jergovi\u0107, Ratko Cvetni\u0107, Lana Basta\u0161i\u0107 and others.\r\n \r\nMa\u0161a Kolanovi\u0107 is an associate professor in the Department of Croatian Studies at the University of Zagreb and a multi-genre writer. Her works include the poetry collection *Pijavice za usamljene (Leeches for the Lonely)*, the novel *Slobo\u0161tina Barbie (Underground Barbie)*, the prose poem *Jamerika*, and the short story collection *Po\u0161tovani kukci i druge jezive price (Dear Pests and Other Chilling Stories)*. Following her monograph *Udarnik! Buntovnik? Potro\u0161a\u010d\u2026Hrvatski roman i popularna kultura od socijalizma do tranzicije (Strike! Rebel? Consumer\u2026The Croatian Novel from Socialism to Transition)*, which she completed in 2011 for her PhD in Croatian language and comparative literature, she published articles on literature and popular culture. She co-edited the volumes: *Komparativni postsocijalizam: slavenska iskustva (Comparative Post-socialism: Slavic Experiences)*; *The Cultural Life of Capitalism in Yugoslavia* with D. Jela\u010da and D. Lugari\u0107; *Povijest, tekst, kontekst (History, Text, Context)* with L. Molvarec; and *Ekonomija i knji\u017eevnost (Economy and Literature)* with L. Molvarec and M.
