The art of the front or on populism
Mario Kikaš
Sažetak
The initial incentive of this text is derived from a wish to harmonize contemporary theoretical interests engaged with the subject of populism (primarily based on the work of Ernesto Laclau) with the more recent theoretical approaches and interpretations of the People’s Liberation Struggle (with a special focus on Darko Suvin’s work), within the field of specific aesthetic debates on realism/modernism which marked the period before World War II. The intention of this text is not to bring forth some final theoretical resolution, but rather to indicate theoretical and historiographical complexities of political concepts such as “the people”, periods like modernism or “events” such as the People’s Liberation Struggle (NOB). In the second part of the text, the discoveries and uncovered layers are applied to a specific and narrower field of the history of our experimental theater and – in a subsequent appraisal – its forgotten “moments” such as the NOB theater or Bogdan Jerković’s theatre work.
