This book argues that today we live in the culture of the past that
delimits our world and configures our potentialities. It explores
how the past invades our presents and investigates the affective
uses of the past in the increasingly elusive present. Remembering
and forgetting are part of everyday life, popular culture,
politics, ideologies and mythologies. In the time of the ubiquitous
digital media, the ways individuals and collectivities re-presence
their pasts and how they think about the present and the future
have undergone significant changes. The book focuses on affective
micro-archives of the memories of the socialist Yugoslavia and
investigates their construction as part of the media archaeological
practices. The author further argues that these affective practices
present a way to reassemble the historical and relegitimize
individual biographies which disintegrated along with the country
in 1991.
