Syllabus
Last update: Bc. Markéta Karlasová (16.01.2024)

In the lectures I would like to present to the students the comparative research of female authors at the beginning of Slovene modernism. The lectures consist of thirteen themes.I would like to put into focus forgotten Slovene  female authors from this period, thus offering a critical view into the creations of Slovene female authors of the “moderna” era (with reference to the broader fin-de- siècle period). The interdisciplinary research extends to the field of cultural studies and history, complemented by feminist literary studies and methods of contextualisation. The research of ego- documents provides a great help in the research of the context. The analysis of their literary work also reveal their creation in a broader context, since the literary texts of female authors cannot be researched outside of the cultural-historical context. As such I would like to present also the reception of their literary works by their contemporaries, which, in the patriarchal environment of the Slovene society of that period, was restrictive and unfair to their unique voices.

 The lectures focus on the literary work of four key Slovene female authors of the “moderna” period: on the female prose writer and feminist Zofka Kveder (1878–1926), on the poets: Vida Jeraj (1875–1932), Ljudmila Poljanec (1874–1948) and Lili Novy (1885–1958).
