Anxiety and Discomfort during Literary Interpretation in Grammar Schools

Magistrska naloga je sestavljena iz dveh delov. V prvem, ki obsega poglavji Vzgoja kultiviranega bralca med učnim načrtom in prakso in Literarno branje in literarna interpretacija ter razlogi za nelagodje ob njej, je opisan pouk književnosti v gimnazijah s poudarkom na pomenu književnosti nasploh, pojasnjena je vloga učitelja, obrazložena sta literarno branje in literarna interpretacija z ozirom na pripovedna čustva, predvsem negativna, kot je npr. tesnoba, ter razlogi zanje v sklopu sprejemanja določenega literarnega dela. V tem delu so podrobno predstavljene tujosti literature, sistematizacija katerih poskuša razrešiti odpor do branja in obravnave zahtevnejših besedil v gimnazijah. V drugem delu magistrske naloge sledi analiza izbranih romanov: Zmote dijaka Tjaža (Florjan Lipuš), Filio ni doma (Berta Bojetu), Ime mi je Damjan (Suzana Tratnik) in Alahu ni treba (Ahmadou Kourouma). Izpostavitev tabujskih tem, ki jih našteta dela problematizirajo, je namenska, saj lahko dijaku kot »bralcu mislecu« pomagajo razrešiti in urediti lastne občutke ter določene presoje o svetu.The Master\u27s thesis consists of two content parts. In the first one, which includes the chapters The education of cultivated reader during syllabus and internship and Literary reading and literary interpretation as well as the reasons behind its discomfort, literary lessons in grammar schools with the emphasis on the meaning of literature in general, are described. In this part, the role of the teacher is also explained, literary read and literary interpretation concerning narrative emotions are described, especially negative such as anxiety and the reasons for it in the framework of acceptance of a certain literary work. Additionally, the strangeness in literature is presented in detail, the systematisation of which tries to resolve the reluctance towards reading and handling of more demanding texts in grammar schools. The second part of Master’s Thesis follows the analysis of chosen novels: Zmote dijaka Tjaža (The Errors of Young Tjaž) by Florjan Lipuš, Filio ni doma (Filio is Not at Home) by Berta Bojetu, Ime mi je Damjan (My Name is Damian) by Suzana Tratnik and Alahu ni treba (Allah is Not Obliged) by Ahmadou Kourouma. The exposure of taboo topics, which are problematised and unveiled in the mentioned literary works, is made on purpose because they can help the student as “the thinking reader” to solve and organise their own emotions and certain judgments about the world
