The authoress makes an inquiry into the ways in which the Litija Spinning Mill marked various generations of workers as well as Litija itself and its surroundings, and deals with the identity of the people who worked in the factory and how they perceived it. In doing so, she draws on interviews conducted with retired and still active textile female workers, employees, repairmen, administrators, etc., and on the fieldwork carried out in the production plant of the Litija Spinning Mill. Even though the main emphasis is placed on the memories of socialism, i.e. the past socialist period, there are also occasional references to the present. Memories, as the authoress points out, are formed within contemporary social contexts; therefore, in order to understand them, one must first establish the present-day circumstances and their (symbolic) meanings. The paper does not provide a chronological overview of the events; rather, it aims to present various interpretations of respondents, as well as their perceptions and experiences.
