More about the book

Exploring the concept of nostalgia, this study examines how Czech literature, film, and cultural expressions reflect a "retro" fascination that coexists with critical perspectives on state socialism. By analyzing memory cultures in the Czech Republic, it reveals a unique retro aesthetic that shapes collective memory and offers insights into the complexities of how the past is perceived and represented in popular culture. This innovative approach enriches the understanding of both national identity and the interplay between memory and cultural production.
