Scholars of state socialism have frequently invoked "nostalgia" to
identify an uncritical longing for the utopian ambitions and lived
experience of the former Eastern Bloc. However, this concept seems
insufficient to describe memory cultures in the Czech Republic and
other contexts in which a "retro" fascination with the past has
proven compatible with a steadfast critique of the state socialist
era. This innovative study locates a distinctively retro aesthetic
in Czech literature, film, and other cultural forms, enriching our
understanding of not only the nation's memory culture, but also the
ways in which popular culture can structure collective memory.
