20.500.12556/RUL-189973 Vladimir Bartol in ezoterika Vladimir Bartol and esotericism Vladimir Bartol se je še posebej v obdobju do druge svetovne vojne zanimal za razne ezoterične prakse in pojave, na primer za hiromantijo, spiritizem, telepatijo, hipnozo, telekinezo, napovedovanje iz kavne usedline, napovedovanje prihodnosti s polaganjem kart in spremljanjem atmosferskih pojavov, za skrivne združbe in podobno. V nekaterih od teh praks se je tudi sam preskusil, o drugih je pisal strokovne razprave. Članek zariše evropski kontekst ukvarjanja z ezoteriko v literarnih kulturah v prvih desetletjih 20. stoletja, nato pa pretrese Bartolova strokovna in zlasti leposlovna besedila, v katerih se tako ali drugače posveča ezoteričnim temam. Izkaže se, da je Bartolov odnos do ezoterike ambivalenten; kot znanstvenik psiholog kaže do nje zdravorazumsko skepso, obenem pa se v leposlovnih besedilih, predvsem pa tudi v njegovem osebnem zanimanju za paranormalne pojave, kaže podobna odprtost do ezoterike – in celo fascinacija z njo –, kot jo je zaslediti na primer pri Thomasu Mannu (Bartol ga v zvezi z ezoteričnimi praksami tudi sam citira). Razprava se sklepa z ugotovitvijo, da ta fascinacija zlasti v nekaterih kratkoproznih besedilih ustvarja napetost dvoumnosti, ki je estetsko produktivna. Throughout his life, particularly in the period leading up to World War II, Vladimir Bartol was interested in various esoteric practices and phenomena, such as palmistry, spiritualism, telepathy, hypnosis, telekinesis, fortune-telling from coffee grounds, predicting the future by laying cards and observing atmospheric phenomena, secret societies, and similar subjects. He experimented with some of these practices himself and wrote expert discussions about others. The article outlines the European context of esotericism in literary cultures in the first decades of the 20th century, and then examines Bartol’s professional and, in particular, literary texts in which he addresses esoteric themes in various ways. It turns out that Bartol’s attitude towards esotericism is ambivalent; as a scientist and psychologist, he displays a healthy scepticism towards these phenomena, while at the same time, in his literary texts and especially in his personal interest in paranormal, he shows an openness to esotericism – and even a fascination with it – similar to that found, for example, in Thomas Mann (whom Bartol also quotes in connection with esoteric practices). The discussion concludes with the observation that this fascination, especially in some short fiction, creates a tension of ambiguity that is aesthetically productive. okultizem ezoterika Slovene literature occultism esotericism true false true Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Članek v reviji 2026-10-19 13:05:37 2026-10-19 13:05:45 2026-10-21 03:33:18 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 7-21 št. 3 Letn. 71 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-01-01 821.163.6.09Bartol V. 0021-6933 10.4312/jis.71.3.7-21 301473795 RAZ_Virk_Tomo_2026.pdf RAZ_Virk_Tomo_2026.pdf 1 23AEEC65BBB977BDDE6552FEE1CF0BE3 ca4531b1a15a46122808c4c832b46037e1c4817cd643bf20d461ae0e78ecb839 c181ebca-cbad-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=250902 https://journals.uni-lj.si/jezikinslovstvo/article/view/25520 0 e8319d8d-cbad-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=250903 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
