The purpose of this paper is to identify and investigate the role of Romanian post-communist witness literature for contemporary historiography in outlining national and social (self-)images. This type of literature, written mostly by former political detainees, is perceived by literary criticism as a specific borderline segment partly relevant as historical documents and partly as literary texts. Applying the conceptual pattern coined by Giorgio Agamben. in his analysis based upon the national socialist concentration camp, to post-communist depositional literature reveals two focal directions of imagological relevance: on the one hand, the points of similarity and difference of totalitarian practices in creating stereotypes, cultivating the sense of absolute antagonist otherness and promoting distorted ethnic, social and national images and. on the other hand, the particular contributions and limitations posed by the post-totalitarian depositional discourse in (re)-creating national and social (self-)images.

David Albahari’s novel Danas je sreda (Today is Wednesday) belongs to a group of novels in post-Yugoslav literary production in which – since 2010 – paternity policies have been intensely explored in the context of mechanisms of remembering/forgetting. The paper reviews the narrative strategies of son-narrator testimony by which the stabile identity positions and policies within the complex father-son opposition are disintegrated and and annulled. This disintegration occurs in the process of testifying about the past historical events such as the Informbiro Resolution, the organization of the concentration camp on the Goli otok and the collapse of the SFRY. The father figure also makes the reader face the processes of neoliberal globalization and repatriarchalization, on the one hand, as well as with the necessity of re-examination of the past and establishment of the culture of memory in post-Yugoslav region, on the other. But the fundamental demystification of the figure of the victim – both historical and political – subverts the discourse of responsibility that is established as an already impossible speech in Albaharis novel, branding the post-Yugoslav project of a culture of memory as utopian.

Powieść Davida Albahariego Danas je sreda (Dzisiaj jest środa) należy do tych powieści (post)jugosłowiańskiej produkcji literackiej, które od 2010 roku poddają krytycznemu oglądowi polityki ojcostwa w kontekście mechanizmów pamiętania i zapominania. W pracy zanalizowano modele narracyjne oraz strategie dezintegrujące dookreślone pozycje tożsamościowe relacji ojciec – syn w procesie zaświadczania o przeszłości (mowa tu o takich wydarzeniach, jak np. rezolucja Biura Informacyjnego, tworzenie obozu na Nagiej Wyspie czy rozpad Socjalistycznej Federacyjnej Republiki Jugosławii). Figura ojca stawia czytelnika w obliczu procesów neoliberalnej globalizacji i repatriarchalizacji z jednej strony, z drugiej zaś – konieczności zweryfikowania przeszłości i tworzenia kultury pamięci na obszarze postjugosłowiańskim. Gruntowna demistyfikacja figury ofiary zarówno historycznej, jak i politycznej prowadzi do subwersji dyskursu odpowiedzialności, który w odniesieniu do krajów byłej Jugosławii w tytułowej powieści Albahariego konstytuuje się jako utopijny projekt kultury.
