Abstract

Diplomski rad Portretiranje niže društvene klase u romanu „Nažalosnost stvari“ i istoimenoj filmskoj adaptaciji podijeljen je u pet glavnih dijelova. U prvom dijelu izložen je pregled flamanske i nizozemske književnosti s naglaskom na suvremenu flamansku književnost kao književni kontekst autora Dimitrija Verhulsta. Kao bitna značajka njegova književnog izričaja obrađena je teorija autobiografskog romana i književno povijesni pregled društveno kritičkog žanra. U drugom su dijelu kratko izložene činjenice iz Verhulstova života koje su mu poslužile kao inspiracija za književna djela, a potom njegov umjetnički opus, u kojemu su najupečatljivija prozna djela. U trećem su dijelu iznesene značajke romana Nažalosnost stvari iz relevantnih izvora, te je provedena analiza djela sa svim najvažnijim aspektima, među kojima su problemi alkoholizma te iz njega proizašle obiteljske teškoće, zatim ljubav i odanost, prolaznost i nepovratnost, kao i (ne)mogućnost odvajanja pojedinca od svojih korijena. Četvrti dio posvećen je filmskoj adaptaciji književnog djela. Donosi teorijsku osnovu o ekranizaciji pisanog teksta, informacije o flamanskom režiseru Felixu van Groeningenu te analizu filma sa značajnim trenutcima. U petom se dijelu nalazi razrada teme, nakon pojašnjenja pojma društvene klase. Estetika ružnog se pokazala kao važan faktor u Verhulstovu stilu pisanja dok je u filmu ublažena. Slijedi prikaz aspekata kroz koje su autori u svojim djelima uprizorili nižu društvenu klasu: alkoholizam, nizak socijalni status, dijalekt, psovke i vulgarizmi, odnos prema suprotnom spolu te korištenje kontrasta kako bi se određeni aspekt dodatno naglasio. Proveden je usporedni prikaz istih problema u dva različita medija uzimajući u obzir razlike među njima. U zaključku su izneseni rezultati proizašli iz ovog rada.

Abstract (english)

Diploma thesis Portraying the lower social class in the novel The Misfortunates and the film adaptation of the same name is divided into five main parts. The first part presents an overview of Flemish and Dutch literature with an accent on contemporary Flemish literature as the literary context of the author Dimitrij Verhulst. As an essential feature of his literary expression the theory of the autobiographical novel and the literary-historical overview of the socially critical genre have been explained. In the second part there have been presented the facts from Verhulst's life that served as inspiration for his literary works as wall as his artistic oeuvre. In the third part the features of the novel The Misfortunates are presented from relevant sources and an analysis of the work was carried out with all the most important aspects, among which are the problems of alcoholism and the resulting family difficulties, then love and loyalty, transience and irreversibility, as well as (not) possibility of separating the individual from his roots. The fourth part is dedicated to the film adaptation of the literary work. It provides a theoretical basis on the screen adaptation of a written text, information on the Flemish director Felix van Groeningen and an analysis of the film with significant moments. In the fifth part there is an elaboration of the topic, after the clarification of the concept of social class. The aesthetic of the ugly proved to be an important factor in Verhulst's writing style, while it is toned down in the film. The following is a description of the aspects through which the authors depicted the lower social class in their works: alcoholism, low social status, dialect, curses and vulgarisms, attitude towards the opposite sex and the use of contrast to further emphasize a certain aspect. A comparative presentation of the same problems in two different media was carried out, taking into account the differences between them. In the conclusion, the results obtained from this work are presented.
