Abstract
The paper analyses the phenomenon of transition on several levels, with the main focus on the former Yugoslavian space. In the introduction, a brief overview of basic theses, interpretations and understandings of this phenomenon are given, both from the perspective of mainstream authors who belong to liberal and conservative traditions in political sciences and sociology, as well as the critics of “transitology” from the leftist, Marxist-oriented approaches. The paper then addresses the following questions: how to think of transition within the context of its own nature of time, its own temporality; as well as which method and tradition of thought would be adequate for analysing this kind of problem. Then, the paper confronts the practices of historization and the, so-called, culture of memory. The paper continues with the analysis of transition as ideology and transition as a term / concept – ideologeme. The central and longest part of the paper is devoted to the main case – the transition experience of (post)Yugoslav space.

Summary
Spomenuta nas promjena perspektive upućuje na pitanje koje je potrebno već na početku nakratko postaviti, a tiče se problema temporalnosti u tranziciji, odnosno karaktera tranzicije u smislu naravi njezina vremena koje je obilježava: kakva je vremenitost vremena tranzicije? Radi se naprosto o različitoj gustoći u iskustvu i percepciji vremena epoha. Što se pak tiče znanstvene produkcije koja prati naznačeni trag i koju možemo tretirati kao indikativnu u kontekstu ovog članka, preporučljivo je konzultirati studiju Zla prošlost (Najbar-Agičić, 2018) koja nudi komparativno-povijesne studije suočavanja s prošlošću iz perspektive politike povijesti i kulture sjećanja na primjeru nekoliko europskih zemalja (Poljska, Litva, Latvija, Estonija, Ukrajina, Rusija, Španjolska). Vol 29 (2020.), No 1 Hajrudin Hromadžić: Historizacija tranzicije – slučaj (post)jugoslavenskog prostora je pogubnost pak rezultat praksi „dopadljivog“ brendiranja, primjerice na našim prostorima zatečenog socijalističkog nasljeđa poput spomeničke baštine antifašističke borbe, ili nostalgične romantizacije kolekcije osobnih sjećanja na to razdoblje: sjećanje koje je lišeno svakog vida politizacije, pa je stoga prikladan robno utrživ materijal, simboličko znakovlje komunizma pretvoreno u postkomunistički komercijalni kič.. A kada su političko-historijski angažirana, onda su takva „mišljenja“ nerijetko ideološki regresivna, posvećena revizionističkom naporu da se sve što je u prošlosti – pa i vlastitoj! – bilo emancipacijsko, progresivno, modernistički napredno... ocrni i obezvrijedi ili svojevrsnom „naknadnom pameću“, tutorstvom i pauperizacijom ismije
