Abstract

Cilj je diplomskog rada naslovljenog Marija Jurić Zagorka između popularnoga i pučkoga prikazati kako u ciklusu romana objedinjenih pod naslovom Grička vještica supostoje elementi popularne i pučke književnosti. Sintezom povijesnog i ljubavnog romana stvorena su djela koja je publika prihvatila, a Marija Jurić Zagorka prepoznata je kao vrsni fenomen u okviru popularne/trivijalne književnosti. Zagorkina su djela dosad proučavana u kontekstu popularne i trivijalne književnosti, a u ovome će radu biti razmatrana i komponenta pučke književnosti. U radu će se definirati ciljana čitateljska publika te će se pokušati objasniti kako je Zagorka, preuzimanjem ne samo elemenata i tehnika iz popularne već i pučke i usmene književnosti, stvorila popularna i rado čitana djela. U kontekstu pučke književnosti razmatrat će se elementi preuzeti iz folklorne, usmenoknjiževne tradicije pomoću kojih Zagorka opisuje i prenosi atmosferu te karakterizira likove koji na taj način postaju bliski čitateljima. Kao strategije kojima je privlačila publiku ističu se zanimljiva fabula, neočekivani obrati te likovi jednostavne karakterizacije koji, unatoč tome, ostavljaju snažan dojam. U ranijim radovima te su strategije promatrane isključivo iz perspektive popularnoga i trivijalnoga, zanemarujući komponentu pučke književnosti koja naglasak stavlja upravo na potrebe i želje čitateljstva. Ovaj će rad pokazati zonu dodira, utjecaja, preklapanja i prepletanja popularne i pučke književnosti u elementima i tehnikama oblikovanja teksta te strategijama kojima se privlači čitateljska publika.

Abstract (english)

The goal of master’s thesis entitled Marija Jurić Zagorka between popular and folk is to show the coexistence of elements of both folk and popular literature in the series of books The Witch of Grič. With combining the historical novel with romance Zagorka created the books that were received well among the readers, while she went on to become a phenomenon within popular/trivial literature. Zagorka’s works have so far been observed in the context of popular and trivial literature, while this thesis will also take into consideration the context of folk literature. The thesis will define the intended audience and will try to explain how Zagorka created bestsellers by incorporating not only elements and techniques of popular but also of folk and oral literature. In the context of folk literature the elements considered will be those taken from folklore and oral literature which Zagorka then uses to convey atmosphere and characterizes characters which thus become close to the reader. Interesting plot, unexpected twists and characters that stand out, despite their simple characterization, stand out as strategies that attract the audience. In earlier works these strategies were viewed solely from the perspective of popular and trivial while the context of folk literature, that emphasizes the needs and wants of the readers, was completely ignored. This thesis will show the influence, overlap and intertwining of popular and folk literature in the elements and plot design techniques as well as strategies used to attract the readers.
