The article discusses the issue of the historical imaginations of the Croats and the Serbs. On the basis of both their narrations about the nation, it shows differences in conceptualising the past. The semiotic apparatus was used to show why Serbian narrations feature a tragic ending, while Croatian ones have a happy ending. I show the most fundamental mutual stereotypes (understood as a kind of encyclopaedia with a hierarchically organised structure of knowledge) in order to show where and how the two different (Serbian and Croatian) historical imaginations confront each other.

This article compares British novelist Julian Barnes’s novel A History of the World in 10½ Chapters with the novel The Incomplete Manuscript by Azerbaijani author Kamal Abdulla. In each novel accepted history is revised, the idea that history is subjective is explored, as well as the fact that history is fiction, and in the process a new alternative history is written. The postmodern liberation strategy of both authors emphasizes history, past revision, history’s subjectivity, as well as the creation of a new alternative history to make history fictitious. The idea of history, catastrophe, error and human foolishness in Barnes’s novel is similar to the ideas of a fictitious, imagined, authenticated reality in Abdulla’s novel. This form of narration in Barnes’s and Abdulla’s novels is concerned with the ironic modes of 20thcentury thinking and the fact that human thinking has cast doubt on our understanding of the world. In Barnes’s novel, history is a catastrophe, an erroneous ghost, while in the novel by Abdulla we find fiction, fabrication, and reality.

The author of the article discusses the museum institution which is Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory, a branch of the Historical Museum of the City of Kraków. The subject of the analysis is a permanent exhibition – Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945. The reading of the exhibition space starts from the premise that modern museums are mirrors which reflect the contemporary historical culture, with the appropriate symbols, myths and desires. The author interprets the exhibition, treating it as a discourse, a mixture of a variety of narrative – academic and pop cultural, theater and multimedia. The analysis also includes the characteristic phenomenon of postmodern thinking about the past, such as post-nostalgia, privatisation of the past, melancholy, irony or desire for presentification.
