Summary/Abstract: The paper thoroughly examines dramatic opus of Zorica Jevremovi}, with the proposition that her work fits into the pattern that might be termed “the politics of memory”. Such a politics confronts with the so called “politics of oblivion” which came to be inherent to the oficial cultural policy of Serbia. The plays by Zorica Jevremovi} expose a cultural politics coming from “down under”, which clashes with state cultural policy based upon the uniform ethnicity concept. Advocating intercultural dialogue, “Four Prewar Plays” and “The Ballad of Girls’ Garments” by Zorica Jevremovi} are deemed necessary for a reconceptualization of Serbian art, theatre and its cultural institutions, as well as for building a new concept of selfidentification.
