The dissertation "Croatian Literature, Culture and Media During the Transition Period" explores the dynamics of the Croatian sociocultural transformation in post-socialist era, i.e. during the so-called transitional era, which is regarded as the societal transition from the socialist regime to the (neo) liberal capitalist order. The procedural laws of this sociohistorical, ideological and cultural transformation is examined, as well as its effects on the sociocultural restructuring of society, with special emphasis on monitoring how the transition reality reflects on the text of Croatian literature and on discursive policies in the public sphere. The paper detects structural changes in the poetic identity of contemporary Croatian literature, identifying the causal and consequential links between the formative moments of the transitional project and Croatian literary practices, which results in redefining the poetic strategies in Croatian literature at all levels of literary texts' structure. By analyzing the phenomenology of transition through the discursive network of dominant transitional narratives, nationalism and capitalism in particular, the thesis follows the inclusion of the mentioned concepts into the language of contemporary Croatian literature, while at the same time defining the strategies of their ideological action. This ideological action affects labeling in general, as well as the discursive formulation and regulation of Croatian literary practices. The aim of the thesis is therefore demonstrating how the current identities of Croatian literature and culture, along with the significant role of the revolutionary changes in the landscape of media and technology, have been produced and determined by the (in)visible effects of discursive policies that have been conjoined with the socio-cultural space of the transition period.
