Different literary currents in the Slovene short narrative prose of the 1980s and 1990s can be defined more precisely in connection with individual types, which is reflected in the typological changes within short narrative prose dealt with in this paper. In the period prior to Slovene literary post-modernism such a range of types was not noticed. Examination of individual texts reveals the issue of stereotypes as still very much present in modern literature. The paper focuses on the role of the woman as object in modern short narrative prose, which allows for various possibilities of portrayal. Due to the breadth of the subject and relevant material, attention is drawn particularly to post-modernist and post-existentialist Slovene short narrative prose.
