Brati skozi arhiv

V prispevku želimo pokazati, kako lahko s pomočjo digitaliziranega literarn(ozgodovinsk)ega gradiva beremo izbrana pesemska besedila nemško-slovenske pesnice Luize Pesjakove (1828–1898), ki so se jih v literarni zgodovini prijele slabšalne sodbe, čeprav doslej niso bila deležna nadrobnejše obravnave. Sodijo v vrsto priložnostnega pesništva. Pesmi so navdihnjene z različnimi dogodki in priložnostmi, o čemer pričajo sočasne časopisne objave v enem od osrednjih slovenskih časopisov 2. polovice 19. stoletja Kmetijske in rokodelske novice, ki so bile digitalizirane v okviru projekta Digitalna knjižnica Slovenije in nam omogočajo vpogled v globine in širine kontekstov nastanka in uporabe (t. i. avro) teh besedil. Tu se skriva tudi eden od možnih odgovorov na vprašanje, kako brati (in bralce navdušiti za branje) besedila iz starejših obdobij slovenske književnosti.This article shows how digitized literary (history) material can be used to read selected poems by the German– Slovenian poet Luiza Pesjak (1828–1898), which have acquired a unfavorable status in literary history, even though they have not been yet examined in detail to date. They are a type of occasional poetry inspired by various events and occasions, which is testified to by contemporary reports in one of the main Slovenian newspapers of the second half of the nineteenth century, Kmetijske in rokodelske novice (Farmers’ and Craftsmen’s News). This newspaper has been digitized as part of the Digital Library of Slovenia project and provides insight into the depth and breadth of the contexts in which these texts were created and used (i.e., their aura). This is also where a possible answer lies to the question of how to read (and inspire people to read) texts from earlier periods of Slovenian literature
