Gender typed roles in the contemporary croatian childrens novel

U ovom diplomskom radu analiziraju se rodno tipizirane uloge u suvremenom hrvatskom dječjem romanu. Namjera je uz pomoć književno-teorijskog metodološkog instrumentarija detektirati i interpretirati rodne uloge, njihovu funkcionalnost na razini muško-ženskih odnosa, ali i na razini dobnog (ne)autoriteta te značaj u sukreiranju modernosti/postmodernosti poetike odabranih romana. Analizirani su romani Decameron za golobrade pustolove Želimira Ciglara, Twist na bazenu Jadranka Bitenca, Lažeš, Melita Ivana Kušana, Gumi-gumi ili djevojčica koja je preskočila nebesa Zorana Pongrašića, Čuj, Pigi, zaljubila sam se Branke Kalauz, Dnevnik Pauline P. Sanje Polak, Sretni dani Mire Gavrana, Bum Tomica, Vanda autorice Silvije Šesto Stipaničić, O mama sve najbolje, Mrvice iz dnevnog boravka autorice Sanje Pilić i Lastin rep Nade Mihoković-Kumrić. Analizom književnih likova unutar navedenih romana uočeno je da su se neke rodne uloge muškaraca i žena promijenile u odnosu na tradicionalno stereotipno mišljenje, a neke pak zadržale. Isto tako rodni odnosi ne(moći) žena i muškaraca su se promijenili, a neki su se zadržali prema tradicionalnom poimanju istih.This paper analyses gender typed roles in the contemporary Croatian children's novel.
