Partisan Ecology in Yugoslav Liberation and Antifascist Art

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.
