Om The Partisan Counter-Archive

Mere decades after the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the promise of European democracy seems to be out of joint. What has become of the once-shared memory of victory over fascism? Historical revisionism and nationalist propaganda in the post-Yugoslav context have tried to eradicate the legacy of partisan and socialist struggles, while Yugonostalgia commodifies the partisan/socialist past. It is against these dominant ¿archives¿ that this book launches the partisan counter-archive, highlighting the symbolic power of artistic works that echo and envision partisan legacy and rupture. It comprises a body of works that emerged either during the people's liberation struggle or in later socialist periods, tracing a counter-archival surplus and revolutionary remainder that invents alternative protocols of remembrance and commemoration. The book covers rich (counter-)archival material ¿ from partisan poems, graphic works and photography, to monuments and films ¿ and ends by describing the recent revisionist un-doing of the partisan past. It contributes to the Yugoslav politico-aesthetical ¿history of the oppressed¿ as an alternative journey to the partisan past that retrieves revolutionary resources from the past for the present.
