Vloga Emila Korytka pri spoznavanju slovenskih pesemskih praks

Povzetek

Objavljanje ljudskih pesmi je v času romantizma postalo pomemben referenčni in reprezentančni okvir za izražanje nacionalnosti. Na Slovenskem se je v 30. letih 19. stoletja v zbirateljska prizadevanja vključil Poljak Emil Korytko. Svoje poglede je oblikoval v poljski etnološki šoli, slovensko ljudsko izročilo pa je želel predstaviti v primerjalnem okviru slovanskih kultur. Načrt je začel uresničevati s pripravo zbirke Slovenske pesmi krajnskiga narόda. Prispevek skuša ovrednotiti Korytkova prizadevanja za objavo slovenskega ljudskega pesemskega izročila, odgovoriti na vprašanje, kako je Korytku uspelo, kar ni njegovim predhodnikom, in analizirati Korytkova opažanja pesemskih praks na Slovenskem, ki so bila pristransko ovrednotena zaradi ocen Stanka Vraza.

The publication of folk songs during the Romantic era became an important referential and representational framework for expressing nationalism. In the 1830s, the Polish nobleman Emil Korytko joined the collection efforts in Slovenian territory. Korytko’s perspectives were shaped in the Polish ethnographic school, and he wished to present Slovenian folk heritage in the comparative framework of Slavic cultures. He started carrying out this plan by preparing his collection Slovénſke péſmi krajnſkiga narόda (Slavic Songs of the Carniolan Nation). This article evaluates Korytko’s efforts to publish Slovenian folksong heritage, addresses how Korytko succeeded where his predecessors had not, and analyzes Korytko’s observations of song practices in Slovenian territory, which were evaluated with bias as a result of Stanko Vraz’s views.
