Genre System Dynamism in Nineteenth- And Twentieth- Century Slovenian Literary Folklore

Abstract

Članek je zamišljen kot zbirnik dosedanjih raziskav in prikaz odprtih vprašanj, ki naj spodbudijo nadaljnje delo na tem področju. Načelna dinamičnost žanrskega sistema je s sinhronega vidika strnjeno prikazana analiza o razmerju med slovstveno folkloro in literaturo [Stanonik 2006]. Na diahroni osi se omenjena dinamičnost kaže predvsem v terminologizaciji. Objavljeni viri s težiščem v 19. stoletju dokazujejo, da se je terminologija, ko je bila v protestantizmu [Stanonik 2007] prvič zapisana slovensko, do danes spreminjala pri vseh folklornih žanrih. Sledi predstavitev terenske terminologije iz zbirke Glasovi 1988–2008. Končno so predstavljene (večinoma še ne dokončne definicije posameznih folklornih žanrov [Stanonik 1999] in premislek o njihovem kontekstu (na podlagi avtopsije in s pomočjo zbirke Glasovi).

This article gathers studies to date and presents open issues that should facilitate further work in this area. The general dynamism of the genre system is presented from a synchronic viewpoint in an analysis of the relationship between literary folklore and literature (Stanonik 2006). On the diachronic axis, this dynamism is primarily reflected in the introduction of terminology. Sources, especially those published in the nineteenth century, demonstrate that terminology has been changing in all folklore genres from the sixteenth century (Stanonik 2007), when it was first recorded in Slovenian, up to the present. This is followed by a presentation of field terminology used in the collection Glasovi (Voices) from 1988 to 2008. In conclusion, definitions of individual folklore genres (Stanonik 1999) are presented (although the majority of them are still not final) in addition to a reflection on their context (based on direct observation and the Glasovi collection).
