How do post-communist museums and cinema contribute to shaping the
image of a communist past in contemporary Central and Eastern
Europe? This is the first systematic analysis of the use of visual
techniques in grasping what the previous regime means. After the
past was lost in 1989 in the former communist world, museums and
memorials started mushrooming all over East and Central Europe.
While reflecting on possible, actual meanings of the lost history
the aim of shaping public opinion and discourse of the recent
communist past also became apparent. Most of these undertakings -
movies included - tried hard to make political use of recollections
of the earlier world, and employed select tools from contemporary
museological, memorializing and new-media practice to make their
politicized intent historically credible. Thirteen essays from
scholars in the region deal with the use of new media in shaping
and fashioning popular perception of the previous era, and provide
a fresh approach to the subject.
