Sažetak
Collective memory represents a synthesis of various individual and group memories. The media play an exceptionally important role in interpreting and mediating the meaning of the past. Assmann sees the memory construction process as the fluid process of filling a 'memory box'. Dražen Petrović (1964-1993) is a mythical figure in European basketball. This paper analyses the discourse of biographies of Dražen Petrović published in the Croatian language. The goal of this paper is to affirm the key social functions of these books. The discourse surrounding Petrović's biographies represents a special basketball 'discourse community' and affirms the thesis on the fluidity of collective memory.
