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.
