Estetika nasilja in sodobni slovenski vojni romani v novem tisočletju

Rakovec, Ana (author)

V članku analiziram tri sodobne slovenske romane, izdane v novem tisočletju, ki tematizirajo drugo svetovno vojno in so jih napisale ženske treh različnih (po)vojnih generacij. Romani Saga o kovčku Nedeljke Pirjevec, Da me je strah? Maruše Krese in Angel pozabe Maje Haderlap temeljijo na osebnih zgodbah njihovih družin, ki jih avtorice vpenjajo v širši družbeni kontekst. Na ta način razgaljajo med- in povojno propagandnost, prevprašujejo monumentalno zgodovinsko resnico, zavezanost etičnemu in zgodovinskemu spominu ali našo občo človeško nezmožnost učenja iz zgodovinskih napak. Z večperspektivnostjo in lirizacijo pripovedi izpostavljajo pomembnost občutenj pri oblikovanju spominov in postspominov ter predstavljajo raznolikost vojnih izkušenj.

Abstract

This article analyzes three contemporary Slovene novels published in the new millennium that address the theme of the Second World War and were written by women from three different (post)war generations. The novels Saga o kovčku by Nedeljka Pirjevec, Da me je strah? by Maruša Krese, and Angel pozabe by Maja Haderlap are based in intimate family stories, which the authors expand into broader social concerns. Through this approach, the novels reveal wartime and postwar propaganda, they question monumental historical truth, and the commitment to ethical and historical memory. They also expose our general human incapacity to learn from historical mistakes. The use of multiperspectivity and lyricized narration highlights the importance of emotional experience in the formation of memory and postmemory, while also portraying the diversity of wartime experiences
