‘The concept of partisan is the concept of struggle, the struggle for the right of the individual’s own cultural autonomy, but if this right is recognized for another person too. All the more Partisan in French means Companion’. (c) Artur Klinau

‘Our present is someone else’s past. Our future is someone else’s present. The aspiration to keep up with one’s time produces the generation of ‘managers’. The desire to keep to one’s own space produces ‘the partisan. The Manager fits himself into various systems of consumer society, he is excellent at selling himself at a profit. He is visible, whereas the Partisan is invisible. The Partisan is an adept of mimicry, which allows him to survive under the conditions of consumer postmodernity’. (c) Ihar Babkou
