POETICS OF VIOLENCE IN LITERATURE BY MOJCA KUMERDEJ

V zaključnem magistrskem delu z naslovom Poetika nasilja v literaturi Mojce Kumerdej smo se osredotočili na pisateljičin literarni opus. V delo smo vključili štiri njena do sedaj izdana dela, in sicer: dva romana Kronosova žetev in Krst nad Triglavom ter dve zbirki zgodb Temna snov in Fragma prav tako pa tudi avtoričine objave posameznih zgodb. Osredotočili smo se predvsem na motivno-tematsko analizo njenih del, v ospredje smo postavili tematizacijo nasilja. V teoretičnem delu smo naredili kratek pregled pisateljičine biografije, največ pozornosti pa smo namenili oblikam in vrstam nasilja. S pomočjo motivno-tematske analize proznih del Mojce Kumerdej smo ugotovili, da se v njenih delih pogosto pojavlja tako psihična kot fizična tematizacija nasilja. Slednja se velikokrat dogaja znotraj družine oziroma med osebami, ki se med seboj dobro poznajo. V romanu Krst nad Triglavom tematizacija nasilja ni tako izrazita kot v kratkih zgodbah, kljub temu pa najdemo pojavnost psihičnega nasilja. Literarne osebe za dosego svojih ciljev uporabljajo manipulacijo, grožnje, poniževanje, zaničevanje. V romanu Kronosova žetev smo opazili tematizacijo psihičnega in fizičnega nasilja, slednjega v precej skrajnih, nečloveških oblikah. Z motivno-tematsko analizo smo ovrgli oziroma potrdili hipoteze, ki smo jih navedli v uvodu zaključnega dela, prav tako pa smo naredili primerjalno analizo tematizacije nasilja med vsemi izbranimi deli ter prikazali, kako lahko pojavnost kraja in časa vplivata na tematizacijo nasilja.In the final master thesis Poetics of Violence in Literature by Mojca Kumerdej we focused on the writer\u27s literary oeuvre. We have included four of her so far published works: two novels The Harvest of Chronos and The Baptism Over Mount Triglavtwo collections of short stories Dark substance and Fragma, as well as the author\u27s publication of individual stories. Our primary focus was a motif-thematic analysis of her works and the topic of violence. In the theoretical part of the thesis we made a brief overview of the writer\u27s biography, with the greatest attention dedicated to the forms and types of violence. With the help of a motif-thematic analysis of Mojca Kumerdej\u27s short prose we have found, that both psychological and physical thematisation of violence are common. Previously mentioned often happen within the family or between people who know each other well.. In the The Baptism Over Mount Triglav novel, the theme of violence is not as pronounced as in short prose. However psychic forms of violence are found where people use manipulation, threats, humiliation and contempt to achieve their goals. In the The Harvest of Chronos novel we notice the incidence of psychological and physical violence in rather extreme, brutal forms. With the motif-thematic analysis we rejected oppositely confirmed the hypotheses given in the introduction to the final thesis. Moreover we made a comparative analysis of the thematisation of violence among all selected works and showed how the occurrence of place and time can influence the thematisation of violence
