Distrusting Monuments. Art and The War In Former Yugoslavia.
Abstract [en]
In recent times, on an international level, the conflict of commemoration between contemporary art and an older, nationalist memorial culture has gotten a lot of attention in conjunction with the movement of Black Lives Matter. Such a kind of conflict is ongoing with regards to the wars in Yugoslavia (1991-2001). In the process of moving from the present to the realm of the past, a re-evaluation of what will be remembered from the war and how is unavoidable. In former Yugoslavia, this process has come to involve a wide array of agents, materials and forms of expression. This project researches how contemporary art that is rooted in the region — artists, artists groups, collectives and organizations — has been tying in with this movement of memorialization since the end of the war, offering a critical perspective on an official history often embodied by monuments of heroism, nationalism and unity. Our research questions are: in what way does contemporary art represent the conflict in former Yugoslavia? Why is it a matter of contention in contemporary art today? Does art produce a new kind of memory culture?Gathering three researchers, with an expertise in aesthetics, political theory, memory culture and the cultural history of former Yugoslavia, the project will study the critical role of post-Yugoslav visual art with regards to transitional justice, the production of new monuments of genocide and the problematic link between memory culture and revisionist history.

Abstract [en]

Partisan and decolonial ecology is a notion addressed by Andreas Malm and Malcom Ferdinand respectively, in their texts on the Caribbean maroon partisans – the emancipated slaves – who moved to the more mountainous parts of the islands that were still covered by dense vegetation. This concept is here taken to another historical context, that of Yugoslav partisans’ fight against the fascist occupation in the Second World War. I engage in reading an array of partisan artworks that point to fascist domination/war over nature juxtaposed to emerging solidarity among humans and animals/nature. From poems and short stories to drawings and graphic art material, the subjectmatter of forest as a site of resistance and political subjectivity emerges. Diverse animals, pack of wolves, birds that continueto sing despite the thorny branches, the figure of the snail as the affect and attitude of resilience – these become “comrades” inthe struggle, mobilizing nature in their fight against fascism.
