Magični realizem v romanih Sto let samote in Poljub ženske pajka : magistrsko delo

Leban, Barbara (author), Virk, Tomo (mentor)

Magistrsko delo primerja romana Sto let samote Gabriela Garcíe Márqueza in Poljub ženske pajka Manuela Puiga. Najprej prek kritičnih razprav Franza Roha, Artura Uslar Pietrija, Aleja Carpentierja ter Angela Floresa prikaže zgodovinski razvoj magičnega realizma, nadalje pa se posveti ločnici med magičnim realizmom in fantastiko, kot jo je predstavila Amaryll Beatrice Chanady, ter podrobneje predstavi zgodovinsko in politično ozadje latinskoameriškega booma, iz katerega izhajata pisca. V zaključku teoretičnega dela pokaže tudi na vse bolj problematično navezovanje magičnega realizma na postkolonialno in postmodernistično pisanje. Zatem primerja dve romaneskni deli, Sto let samote in Poljub ženske pajka, ter ob podrobnejši analizi vsebine ugotavlja vsebinske in druge poudarke, ob katerih bi bilo romana smiselno umestiti bodisi v postmodernistično bodisi magično realistično pisanje.

Abstract

This thesis is a comparison of the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude written by Gabriel García Márquez and the novel Kiss of the Spider Woman which was written by Manuel Puig. Critical dissertations of Franz Roh, Arturo Uslar Pietri, Alejo Carpentier and Angel Flores are used in order to present the historical development of magical realism in literature. The thesis then discusses Amaryll Beatrice Chanady's views on the distinction between magical realism and the fantastic, and it describes in details the historical and political background of the Latin American Boom, which had a great impact on the two writers. The problematic integration of magical realism, post colonialism and postmodernism in literature is also pointed out. By analyzing the contents and comparing the two novels, the thesis tries to establish some specific characteristics which would help to reasonably classify the novels either as works of magical realism or postmodernism.
