This book tackles the intersections of postcolonial and
postsocialist imaginaries and sensibilities focusing on the ways
they are reflected in contemporary art, fiction, theater and
cinema. After the defeat of the Socialist modernity the
postsocialist space and its people have found themselves in the
void. Many elements of the former Second world experience, echo the
postcolonial situations, including subalternization, epistemic
racism, mimicry, unhomedness and transit, the revival of ethnic
nationalisms and neo-imperial narratives, neo-Orientalist and
mutant Eurocentric tendencies, indirect forms of resistance and
life-asserting modes of re-existence. Yet there are also
untranslatable differences between the postcolonial and the
postsocialist human conditions. The monograph focuses on the
aesthetic principles and mechanisms of sublime, the
postsocialist/postcolonial decolonization of museums, the
perception and representation of space and time through the
tempolocalities of post-dependence, the anatomy of
characters-tricksters with shifting multiple identities, the memory
politics of the post-traumatic conditions and ways of their
overcoming.
