Women and Partisan Art

Aesthetics and Practices of Resistance in Yugoslavia and Carinthia

396 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The resistance by partisan women in Yugoslavia and Carinthia (Austria), and particularly their artistic production, have not been acknowledged in the historical accounts of World War II. Their art was both a form of resistance and a culturally subversive practice, ranging from avant-garde aesthetics to traditional forms of folk art and handicraft. The cultural production by and subsequently about the Yugoslav and Carinthian women partisans includes literature, visual arts, film, photography, comics, textiles, press, theater, dance, and monument architecture. The contributors to this volume present this groundbreaking research to mark eighty years since the victory over Nazism and Fascism in Europe.
