Partisans in Yugoslavia: Literature, Film, and Visual Culture (Culture & Theory)

Miranda Jakisa

About this book

The ubiquitous Partisan narrative in Yugoslavia served well as founding myth of its newly united people. Its retrospective deconstruction has absorbed most of the academic attention for the Yugoslav Partisans since the break-up. This edition in contrast looks into the (hybrid) nature of partisanship itself as it appears in film, art and literature. It explores the Partisans in Yugoslavia in Partisan novels, films and songs, analyzes the - still ongoing - transformation process of the Partisan narrative and reviews its transitions into popular (visual) culture.
