Pojmovanje duše v slovanski mitologiji

Soklič, Lana (author), Rauch, Peter (mentor)

V magistrskem delu sem se osredotočila na mitologijo starih Slovanov. Ukvarjala sem se s staroslovanskim pojmovanjem, kaj je duša, kako se prikazuje in kaj se z njo zgodi po smrti. Osredotočila sem se na raziskovanje predvsem slovenske mitologije, verovanja, pripovedk, bajk, legend, običajev, šeg, tradicije, slovenske zgodovine in folklore, ki se specifično navezujejo na človeško dušo. Podrobneje sem raziskovala slovanski panteon, njihovo verovanje v posmrtno življenje in bogove, ki vladajo onstranstvu, ter predstave o tem, v kakšnih oblikah se duša prikazuje in kako se le-ta obnaša po smrti, med spanjem in stanjem ekstaze. Zanima me simbolna povezava duše z različnimi živalmi pri starih Slovanih in povezava med dobro in slabo smrtjo in kaj se zgodi z dušo v obeh primerih. Namen dela je ustvariti eksperimentalno fotografsko serijo s temačno in mistično atmosfero na temo duše in posmrtnega življenja.

• Title: Perception of the Soul in Slavic Mythology

Abstract

In my master's thesis, I focused on the mythology of the ancient Slavs. I dealt with the Old Slavic concept of what the soul is, how it is represented and what happens to it after death. I focused on researching mainly Slovenian mythology, beliefs, tales, fables, legends, customs, traditions, Slavic history and folklore that specifically relate to the human soul. I have explored in detail the Slavic pantheon, their belief in the afterlife and the gods who rule the afterlife, as well as their ideas about the forms in which the soul appears and how it behaves after death, during sleep and in a state of ecstasy. I am interested in the symbolic connection of the soul with various animals among the ancient Slavs and the connection between a good and a bad death, and what happens to the soul in both cases. The assignment aims to create an experimental photo series with a dark and mystical atmosphere on the theme of the soul and the afterlife.
