Exploring the intersections of postcolonial and postsocialist experiences, this book examines their reflections in contemporary art, literature, theater, and cinema. It delves into the void left by the collapse of Socialist modernity, highlighting shared struggles like subalternization and neo-imperial narratives, while also acknowledging distinct differences in human conditions. Key themes include aesthetic principles of the sublime, the decolonization of museums, the representation of space and time, and the complexities of identity through trickster characters, alongside memory politics in post-traumatic contexts.
