Abstract

Rad započinje definiranjem znanstvene fantastike kao žanra i predstavljanjem njegovih funkcija i konvencija. Analizira se odnos znanstvenofantastične književnosti i utopije, a zatim se daje kratak pregled povijesti novije znanstvene fantastike, s posebnim naglaskom na tri ključne tematske cjeline: izvanredno putovanje, priča o znanosti i priča o budućnosti. Dalje, rad analizira roman Marije Jurić Zagorke „Crveni ocean“ unutar konteksta znanstvenofantastične književnosti i prisutnosti triju spomenutih tematskih cjelina. Roman se zatim smješta u Zagorkin cjelokupan opus pregledom društvenih, političkih i feminističkih tema karakterističnih za autoričina djela. Slijedi usporedba „Crvenog oceana“ s djelima dvojice reprezentativnih autora znanstvene fantastike s kraja 19. stoljeća, Julesa Vernea i H. G. Wellsa, s osvrtom na tematiku izvanrednog putovanja, prikaz znanstvenika, izuma i uporabe znanosti, te utopijske, društvene i političke elemente. Na temelju analize i usporedbe, zaključuje se da se „Crveni ocean“ s pravom može smjestiti među poznatija i utjecajnija djela novije znanstvene fantastike.

Abstract (english)

The thesis begins by defining science fiction as a genre and presenting its functions and conventions. An analysis of the relationship between science fiction literature and utopia is followed by a brief overview of the history of modern science fiction, with special emphasis on three key thematic units: the extraordinary journey, the tale of the future and the tale of science. Next, the thesis analyzes Marija Jurić Zagorka's novel “Crveni ocean” within the context of science fiction literature, focusing on the presence of the three mentioned thematic units. The novel is then situated within Zagorka's entire oeuvre from the viewpoint of the social, political and feminist themes characteristic of the author's works. Following is a comparison of “Crveni ocean” with the works of the two representative late-19th-century science fiction authors, Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, focusing on the theme of the extraordinary journey, the depiction of scientists, inventions and uses of science, and utopian, social and political elements. Based on the analysis and comparison, the conclusion emphasizes that “Crveni ocean” can be rightfully placed among the more famous and influential works of modern science fiction.
