Abstract

V članku se avtorica osredotoča predvsem na vsebino in sporočilnost pripovedi, ki krožijo med slovenskimi študenti na ljubljanski univerzi danes, kakor tudi na odsev družbenih in aktualnih dogajanj v sodobnih študentskih zgodbah. Raziskava tudi odkriva, v kakšni obliki in okoliščinah se v današnjem slovenskem prostoru pojavlja sodobno študentsko pripovedništvo, kakor tudi prepoznavnost kulturne dediščine in dediščine tradicionalnih pripovednih motivov v sodobnih zgodbah.

***
