Alina Zubkovych Abstract In the given article we analyze the representation of the period from the recent history- Socialist Yugoslavia- through the case study of national history museum and private exhibition. Although both of the analyzed objects are located in Ljubljana, the metastories which they construct and display are based on the different cultural patterns. We compare the differences of the narratives being used by the private and state institution and apply the visual analysis method together with semi-structured interviews for these purposes. As a result of our research, we show how differs ‘official narration’ compared to the so-called ‘Yugonostalgic’ or ‘Titostalgic’ viewpoint and describe their main characteristics. Keywords: Yugoslavia, Yugonostalgia, museum, representation, Slovenia, Ljubljana, history Alina Zubkovych, PhD candidate and teaching assistant at School of Advanced Social Studies, Nova Gorica, Slovenia Cite this article:
