Abstract

Rad se bavi statusom Marije Jurić Zagorke u povijesti hrvatske književnosti te analizom elemenata popularne književnosti, njezine političke subverzivnosti i feminističkih stavova koje je utkala u roman Mala revolucionarka. Zagorkin se status razlikovao i na sinkronijskoj i na dijakronijskoj razini. Recipijenti odnosno čitatelji u početku su Zagorku pozicionirali sasvim drugačije od književnih kritičara – dok su čitatelji njezine tekstove obožavali, kritičari su je marginalizirali. Potonja se razina odnosi na činjenicu da Zagorka isprva nije bila prihvaćena kao autorica no da se u posljednja dva desetljeća 20. stoljeća o njoj ipak počinje afirmativno pisati. Naime, u tom razdoblju nestaju granice između visoke i trivijalne književnosti. Znanstvena kritika uviđa da su Zagorkini tekstovi jednako važni te da njima uistinu obogaćuje hrvatsku književnost. Otvaranjem prostora feminističkim čitanjima i popularnoj kulturi o Zagorki se počinje pisati u novijim radovima kao o prvoj profesionalnoj hrvatskoj novinarki, jednoj od začetnica feminizma u hrvatskoj književnosti, jednoj od prvih feministkinja, aktivistkinja i autorici popularne književnosti koja zna privući masovno čitateljstvo. Dakle, dolazi do promjene paradigme u promišljanjima o Mariji Jurić Zagorki. Stoga se u radu objašnjava i način na koji se u suvremenim čitanjima pozicionira Zagorka. Nakon postavljanja povijesno-kulturološkog konteksta, fokus rada usmjerava se na analizu Zagorkina romana Mala revolucionarka objavljivanog u nastavcima u časopisu Hrvatica od 1939. do 1940. godine. Razrađuju se elementi popularne književnosti i kulture, političke subverzivnosti te feminizma koji se, koristeći se konkretnim primjerima iz romana, povezuju sa životom i (izvan)književnim djelovanjem autorice.

Abstract (english)

The paper deals with the status of Marija Jurić Zagorka in the history of Croatian literature and the analysis of elements of popular literature, her political subversiveness, and feminist attitudes that she weaved into the novel Little Revolutionary. Zagorka's status differed on both the synchronic and diachronic levels. Recipients or readers initially positioned Zagorka quite differently from literary critics – while readers adored her texts, critics marginalized her. The latter level refers to the fact that Zagorka was not accepted as an author initially, but affirmative writing about her began in the last two decades of the 20th century. Namely the boundaries between high and trivial literature disappear in that period. Scientific criticism recognizes that Zagorka's texts are equally important and enrich Croatian literature. By opening space for feminist readings and popular culture, Zagorka is being written about in recent works as the first female journalist, one of the pioneers of feminism in Croatian literature, and one of the first feminists, activists, and authors of popular literature who can attract a mass readership. Thus, there is a paradigm shift in the reflections on Marija Jurić Zagorka. Therefore, the paper also explains how Zagorka is positioned in contemporary readings. After establishing the historical and cultural context, the work focuses on the analysis of Zagorka's novel Little Revolutionary, published in sequels in the magazine Hrvatica from 1939 to 1940. Elements of popular literature and culture, political subversiveness, and feminism are elaborated, using concrete examples from the novel that are connected with the author’s life and (extra)literary activity.
