Abstract

The author dismantles the dominant readings of Yugoslav, the socialist and partisan past that has been deeply marked by nationalist and neoliberal transition on the one hand, and ethnomethodological and antitotalitarian theoretical perspectives on the other hand. As a response to these dominant readings that aim to demonise and erase the Yugoslav past, Yugonostalgia proved to be an example of subcultural and passive resistance. This article, which is part of a larger publication project Partisan Counter-Archive, provides the readership with an alternative reading and reconstruction of partisan material, artworks and political documents that registered and continued the rupture that took place in Yugoslavia in the Second World War as social and cultural revolution. Furthermore, beyond the context of war, it claims a persisting existence of heterogeneous fragments called ‘counter-archival surplus’ that form a part of a larger counter-archive that intervenes in the previous and current revisionist ideologies, while it also inspires and mobilises revolutionary resources for the future. The text is largely an epistemological reflection on (counter)archival research, but towards the end it provides the reader with one example from the counter-archive: an event of partisan performance.
