Sažetak
Partisan photography, as the central theme of the book, is analyzed as a phenomenon of contemporary socio-political relevance that produces new forms of cultural and aesthetic use of the photographic archive. Departing from the thesis on the social contract of photography (Ariela Azoullay), the identification caused by the political instrumentalization of ideological conflicts from World War II, as well as the continuity of violence, is reflected in erasing or falsifying historical events and their causes. Analyzing the relationship between the political and the artistic in the medium of war photography, the author points to the importance of the material conditions of its creation and placement of this production in the wider field of partisan cultural production, as defined by Rastko Močnik. Finally, the text provides an overview of the topic and its significance in the broader context of creating a “partisan archive”.
