The Word of the Communist Party in Partisan Epic Chronicles

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the relationship between the post-folklore Partisan epic chronicle and the ideological press (the Borba [The Struggle] and Mladi borac [The Young Fighter] newspapers (1944, 1945), and the proclamations of the CPY Central Committee), as well as other types of ideological doctrinal activity in southern Serbia during World War II. The oral functioned in circumstances in which some of its main elements could not be transferred into the written form. This made the use of written communication part of a broader interplay between the poetic and media discourse, between post-folk epic chronicles and the ideological press. Intertextual connections were facilitated not only by the possibility for authors and audiences to obtain information from printed material, whether through spoken or written means, but also by the fact that many authors from the region were members of the movement founded on Communist Party ideology, some of them in charge of propaganda to boot.From the perspective of the goals the Communist Party set for itself, of great importance was the factor of interference with the social stratum whose notions of the functioning of the state and society were to be changed by the new ideological narrative, thus making it an active and reliable asset in the struggle for change the Party aspired to.
