Abstract
The article examines different interpretations of "post-socialist/post-communist nostalgia" by comparing them with interpretations of "nostalgic feelings and practices" in Western Europe and the United States. Likewise, it compares statements about the past and present of work and employment that were recorded by researchers in Western Europe and the United States with those collected by TRANSWORK project researchers through extensive field research in Croatia. On the basis of this comparison, it suggests that a scientific interest in "nostalgia" in "Eastern European" countries – that is commonly interpreted as a desire to understand unexpected disappointment in life "after socialism" or, in just a few of the relevant scholarly articles, as an expression of a post-imperial symptom that uses nostalgia to Orientalize the European East – could also be seen as an effort in defending the neoliberal regime (of labor).
期刊介绍：
Studia ethnologica Croatica is an annual periodical which publishes peer reviewed articles that contribute to the development of empirical, methodological and theoretical insights and findings in the field of ethnology and cultural anthropology. Articles in related disciplines, as well as those with interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary scope focusing on cultural phenomena and processes, are also welcomed. The journal is primarily focused on the area of Central and Southeast Europe, but it has a much wider outlook thus bringing together scientists of various and differing views, standpoints and approaches, those who come from the mentioned regions as well as those whose research focuses on them. The journal promotes studies based on ethnography, innovative approach to theoretical concepts and creative cultural criticism, grasping at the same time local reflections of the global processes, particularly cultural transformations and continuities in contemporary societies. Occasionally, a part of the journal is devoted to a particular topic related to certain actual issues or perspectives in various specific subdisciplines of ethnology and cultural anthropology. The journal also publishes book reviews.
