Iva Jelušić explores the Yugoslav People's Liberation Struggle from the perspective of fun and entertainment. By emphasizing moments of leisure, she rethinks established narratives about war experiences. She reflects on the possibilities of analyzing war experiences and sheds light on the process of researching the intertwining of war and entertainment in the context of the Yugoslav Partisan warfare. By delving into the complexity of this seemingly marginal topic, often difficult to trace in traditional sources, she discusses how moments of fun and relaxation contribute to a deeper understanding of the Partisan struggle and the human spirit during wartime.
