This volume analyzes new articulations of cultural memory in the wake of Yugoslavia s dissolution by engaging with diverse media, such as literature, cinema, comics, visual art, monuments, and the internet. Understanding cultural memory as a mediated and performative engagement with the past, the collection foregrounds art s power to record unofficial histories, critically delve into historical traumas, and imagine radical forms of solidarity.

The impact of digital global media, geopolitical changes and migration demands new theorizations within memory studies. Despite the growing field of media memory studies, the impact from film and media studies has been scarce within memory studies. This unique study offers new theorizations of three crucial concepts for media memory studies: remediation, transculturality and the archive.

In the process, it sheds new...
