HOPE IN THE CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE

Tekst propituje pojam i zbiljnost nade kao eshatološke kategorije na odabranim primjerima suvremene književnosti. Agnostička misao i teološka misao sudjeluju u različitu konstituiranju predmeta. Istražuje se nada u egzistencijalizmu Camusa, Kafke i Kierkegaarda. Potom se raščlamba upućuje odnosu poetskoga prema filozofijskom, odnosno znanstvenom diskurzu. Središnja je i jedinstvena pojava u tome Karol Woytiła, papa Ivan Pavao II. U završnome dijelu analizira se tematizacija nade u suvremenoj hrvatskoj književnosti, na primjerima recentnih romana Nedjeljka Fabrija, Slobodana Novaka, Bogdana Maleševića i Ivana Bakmaza. Zaključna je misao da suvremena književnost kršćanskog nadahnuća nadu smatra jednim od bitnih čimbenika pri prijelazu u eshaton.In this discourse author examines a notion and reality of hope as eshatological category, with selected examples from contemporary literature. Agnostical and theological idea have different costitution of this matter. The first interess is to see how the hope is announced in the existencialism of Camus, Kafka and Kierkegaard. Then the analyse goes to the relations of poetic discourse according to the philosophical and scientifical discourses. The central and unique person in this matter is Karol Woytiła, Pope John Paul II. - theologian, philosopher, poet and supreme priest. Final part is dedicated to the analysis of hope’s topics in the contemporary Croatian literature, with examples of four quite recent novels: Triemeron of Nedjeljko Fabrio (2003), Pristajanje (Putting to Shore) of Slobodan Novak (2004), Dva svjedoka /Two witnesses/ of Bogdan Malešević (2006) and Job of Ivan Bakmaz (2006). The conclusive idea is that contemporary Christian literature found hope as one of essential transitional factors to Eshaton
