Natalija Majsova

Natalija Majsova is an Associate Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Ljubljana. Her research cuts across the fields of memory studies, film and media studies, heritage interpretation, and (post-)socialist popular cultures. She is especially interested in the mechanisms of collective memory and remembrance practices at the nexus of projections of the future and imaginaries of the past, and in how gradual technological transformations contribute to nostalgias for past utopias. She has authored two books, including Soviet Science Fiction Cinema and the Space Age: Memorable Futures (Lexington Books, 2021), co-edited the volume Faith in a Beam of Light: Magic Lantern and Belief in Western Europe, 1860-1940 (Brepols, 2022) with Sabine Lenk, and is the main co-editor of the journal Social Science Forum.
