Carinthian folk story writer Vinko Möderndorfer

Diplomsko delo z naslovom Koroške ljudske zgodbe zapisovalca Vinka Möderndorferja je bilo zapisano na podlagi analize izbranih kratkoproznih besedil, ki jih je zbral in uredil eden najpomembnejših koroških zbirateljev folklornega gradiva, Vinko Möderndorfer. Namen dela je bil opredeliti teorijo ljudskih »malih literarnih zvrsti« (Kos, 1996, str. 155), kot so pravljice, pripovedke, basni, bajke, miti, legende, uganke, pregovori, reki ter anekdote. V obravnavi teme je bil cilj analizirati posamezne zgodbe ter jih glede na vsebino in formo razvrstiti v določeno literarno vrsto. V drugem delu je bil poudarek na tematiki in motiviki obravnavanih del, zadnji del pa je namenjen opisu koroških bajeslovnih bitij. Metode dela so izbrane glede na vrsto diplomskega dela, ki je teoretično. Pri opisovanju bajeslovnih bitij in teoriji kratkoproznih besedil so bile hipoteze preverjene z uporabo deskriptivne metode dela, v sklepnem in teoretičnem delu ter v sami analizi del s primerjanjem dejstev s pomočjo komparativne metode, metoda analize in sinteze pa je bila uporabljena pri analiziranju in povzemanju izbranih koroških zgodb. Vse te raziskovalne metode so pripeljale do naslednjih rezultatov: kratke zgodbe so ljudskega značaja, saj so se prenašale iz roda v rod. Vseh zbranih in analiziranih zgodb je sto enadvaindvajset je pravljic, triindvajset bajk in bajeslovnih pripovedk, devet legend ter sedeminštirideset pripovedk. Pripovedi so po poglavjih razvrščene glede na tematiko in motiviko vsebine, veliko jih je vezanih na temo smrti, vero v onostranstvo, mitološka bitja ipd., nekaj pa jih ima tudi pravljične in živalske motive. Nekatera besedila so zelo poznana, priljubljena so tudi pri otrocih, saj jih obravnavajo v šolah. Na Koroškem so značilna bajeslovna bitja, ki so predstavljena glede na mesto, ki jo zasedajo v duhovnem izročilu, razvrščena pa so po tipologiji, karakteristiki in vlogi, ki jo imajo v različnih motivih in vsebinah.Diploma thesis entitled Carinthian folk story writer Vinko Möderndorfer was written on the basis of the analysis of the chosen short story texts that were collected and organized by one of the most important collectors of folklore material from Carinthia, Vinko Möderndorfer. The purpose of the work was to define the theory of folk “small literary genres” (Kos, 1996, str.155), like fairytales, tales, fables, myths, legends, riddles, proverbs, sayings, and anecdotes. The goal of the topic was to analyze individual stories and arrange them in reference to the content and form in a certain literary genre. In the second part the emphasis was on the topic and motifs of the works, the final part is intended for the description of the Carinthian mythical creatures. The methods are selected in reference to the diploma thesis, which is theoretical. In the description of the mythical creatures and the theory of the short story texts the hypothesis were tested with the use of the descriptive method, the facts were compared in the final, and the theoretical part, as well as in the analysis of the works with the help of the comparative method, the method of synthesis and analysis was used in analyzing and summarizing the works chosen. All these methods led to the following results: short stories are of folk nature as they were passed on from generation to generation. Altogether there is one hundred and one storytwenty two fairytales, twenty three myths and mythical tales, nine legends, and forty seven tales. Tales are in chapters arranged in reference to the topic and motifs of the contentmany are linked to the topic of death, the belief in the afterlife, mythical creatures, etc.some have fairytale and animal motifs. Some of the works are well known and popular with children as they talk about them in school. In Carinthia there are typical mythical creatures that are introduced in reference to the place they have in the spiritual tradition, and are arranged by the typology, characteristics and by the role they have in different motifs and contents
