Slaven Crnić is a postdoctoral researcher in the ERC project “REVENANT—Revivals of Empire: Nostalgia, Amnesia, Tribulation” (Grant agreement No. 101002908) at the Department of Cultural Studies, University of Rijeka. As part of “REVENANT”, his current research aims to explore the construction, contestation, and revival of (post)imperial places in Yugoslav travel writing. His project focuses on representations of places – such as capitals, ports, and vacation resorts – that once held utmost importance for imperial politics, commerce, and self-image.
