Sažetak

The changes in the cultural model in Serbian society could be observed through the writer’s fate of Milica Jakovljević (alias Mir-Jam). In the years before World War II she was a journalist and popular novel writer. After the war her work has been declared as worthless, bourgeois, and the writer herself died in misery and forgotten. The great come back of Mir-Jam occurred with the rise of the new socialist middle class in the 1970s. This began with a theatrical adaptation of the novel by Borislav Mihajlovic Mihiz, directed by Sofia »Soja« Jovanovic. In this performance, the melodramatic characters are treated with gentleness but also clear ironical distance. At the beginning of the 21st century, Zdravko Šotra created film and television novel adaptation in which there was no distance to melodrama, returning to it’s full pathos, making a full circle: from melodrama as a way of critically considering the phenomenon of modern society, across the forbiddance of (civic) melodrama, then returning to the melodrama through irony, and finally, in the 21st century, idealizing of good, old civil society through melodrama as a fairy tale.
