Period of childhood is supposed to be protected period. Adults are supposed to act for the benefit of the child, but reality shows us this is often not the case. Even the etymology of the word ‘child’ in Slovene (France Bezlaj, Marko Snoj) is showing the disparity in understanding of the word ‘child’ and of the real understanding of the child. On the basis of the etymological analyses of the word ‘child’ in the Bezlaj’s dictionary and in Snoj’s dictionary, we can say that the word appears the most often under the meaning of worker, farmhand, page, servant, slave, serf, and less as a boy, nipper, youngster, man, little boy. The absence of the mentioning of feminine child is self-explanatory.
Keywords: child, Slovenian children’s literature, sunny childhood, cloudy childhood, idealization, romanticism, image of the child.
The contribution presents female storytellers in different periods and social systems. The focus is on three exceptional individuals. The first is Luiza Pesjak, whose work is characterized by literary multilingualism. Then, in the post-World War 2 period, the less well-known but important storyteller from Resia, Tïna Wajtawa, whose work is also characterized by literary multilingualism, as well as Indo-European motifs. But the most representative contemporary female storyteller is Svetlana Makarovič, who is known not only for literary intertextuality, but also eclecticism, for she has drawn upon numerous languages, literatures and cultures.
Keywords: female storytellers, Luiza Pesjak, Tïna Wajtawa, Svetlana Makarovič.
The article presents the artistic work of the illustrator Hinko Smrekar from the point of view of literary studies. In his illustrations, which are a synthesis of visual and verbal text (M. Nikolajeva), Smrekar often used motifs from folk tales (merman, dwarf, fairy...) and thus recreated them. With the illustrations of Andersen’s Fairy Tales (1940), he expressed social criticism, e.g. in the Zrcalo sveta (Mirror of the World) series (1932-1933). The illustration of the classic Martin Krpan (1917) in picture book form represents the first picture book “for children” and at the same time marks a turning point in Slovenian youth literature. From the point of view of literary science, Smrekar's style could be defined as carnivalesque, as the author ridicules cultural figures, politicians, religious representatives, and above all, visionarily predicts the time of dystopia and the Second World War, including his own tragic death.
Keywords: Hinko Smrekar, fairy tales, ATU, Fran Levstik, Martin Krpan, H. C. Andersen, carnival, Mihail Bakhtin.
