Absurd in upanje v literaturi Kurta Vonneguta

Kermc, Izak (author), Virk, Tomislav (mentor)

Diplomsko delo raziskuje tematiko vsesplošnega človeškega eksistencialnega obupa ter njegove posledice v štirih izbranih konstitutivnih romanih Kurta Vonneguta ml. Za ta namen se opira pretežno na Alberta Camusa kot najbolj poznanega teoretika absurda. Zadaja si odkriti stičišča med tem, kako k absurdu kot izhodišču s filozofskega vidika pristopa Camus in kako ga preko leposlovne proze prikazuje Vonnegut. Pri slednjem se ne zanaša vselej na vsebinsko filozofsko-teoretsko podstat, temveč absurd obravnava tudi s formalnega, literarno-teoretskega vidika. Diplomsko delo namerava vzpostaviti tudi distinkcijo med vodilom človeškega življenja, ki ga avtorja izpeljeta iz občutja in prepoznave absurda.

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis investigates the theme of general human existential despair and its consequences in four chosen prominent novels from the bibliography of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.; in order to achieve so, the thesis relies predominantly on Albert Camus, the most distinguished theoretician of the absurd. It aims to discover the meeting points between how Camus as a philosopher treats the absurd as a starting point and how Vonnegut portrays it via prose. In the treatment of the former, the thesis does not always rely merely on the substantive philosophical-theoretical paradigm, but also examines it from a literary-theoretical perspective. This thesis also strives to establish a distinction between the principals of human life which both authors infer from the feeling, and from the recognition of the absurd.
