13 - Partisan Struggles of the Past, Present, Future
Description
In this episode, Iva Jelušić and Gal Kirn talk about the Yugoslav
People’s Liberation Struggle. Discussing the Partisan art created during the
war, especially on the territory of Slovenia, they consider how wartime art
production supported the resistance to fascism and complemented it as well as
what its values are relevant today and how it could remain relevant in the
future.
Gal Kirn holds a PhD in Intercultural Studies of Ideas
from the University of Nova Gorica (Slovenia). He is currently a research
associate at the Faculty of Philosophy in Ljubljana (Slovenia) where he is
researching “Protests, artistic practices and the culture of remembrance in the
post-Yugoslav context” as well as participates in the work of the program group
about the social contract in the 21st century. In his research, Gal has mostly
been dealing with the context of socialist and post-socialist Slovenia and was
especially interested in changes in the field of art, politics, and memory.
Iva Jelušić is a post-doctoral researcher for the “War
and Fun: Reconceptualizing Warfare and Its Experience” project at the Christian
Michelsen Institute in Bergen, Norway.
