Encyclopedia Mythologica Slovenica; Prva ilustrirana enciklopedija slovenskih mitoloških bitij

Poljanc, Maja (avtor), Jenko, Radovan (mentor)

V magistrskem delu sem se posvetila slovenskemu mitološkemu prostoru. V ta namen je nastala Encyclopedia mythologica Slovenica; prva ilustrirana enciklopedija slovenskih mitoloških bitij, ki vsebuje preko 100 ilustracij z dodatkom opisa vsakega bitja posamično. Bitja sem povezala v različne kategorije, predvsem glede na vlogo in vizualnost, ter jih abecedno uredila v vsakem poglavju posamezno. Glavni vir raziskovanja je bilo slovensko ljudsko izročilo. V delu govorim tudi o slogu ilustracij, ki sem ga razvila za namen slovenskega bajeslovja, kjer sem poskušala v vsakem koraku premišljeno umestiti simbole slovenske narodne zapuščine, takšne ali drugačne. V širšem kontekstu raziskovanja mitologije predstavim sam mit, raziskovanje in problematiko slovenskega bajeslovja, dotikam se tudi Jungovske arhetipske teorije ter Barthesove Mitologije, funkcije mitologije itd. Namen naloge je zapolnitev škrbine na kulturnem področju ter v končni točki ponuditi enciklopedijo, napolnjeno z ilustracijami, ki ne bodo podajale samo nek vizualni učinek, marveč tudi znanje, občutek identitete, fikcije in komentarja. Mit sem želela predstaviti kot živo entiteto, ki še danes diha in se razvija z nami, čeprav včasih tiho sedi in čaka, da jo bomo opazili.

Izvleček

In my master's thesis I have given attention to the Slovenian mythological space. This is how Encyclopedia mythologica Slovenica; first illustrated encyclopedia of Slovenian mythological creatures, has been created. It contains over 100 illustrations with the addition of a description of each creature individually. I have connected different beings to different categories, I have especially categorized them according to the role and visuality and arranged them in alphabetical order individually in each chapter. The main source of research was the Slovenian folk tradition. In my work I also talk about the style of illustrations I developed for the purpose of Slovenian folklore, where I tried to place the symbols of Slovenian national legacy in every step of the way. In the wider context of mythology research I tried to explain a myth; what is a myth, the research and the problems of Slovenian mythology. I have also touched Junge's archetypal theory, and Barthes's Mythology, the functions of mythology, etc. The purpose of this project was to fill in the stub in the cultural field and offer an encyclopedia filled with illustrations, which will not only provide a visual effect, but also knowledge; a sense of identity, fiction and commentary and above all, I wanted to present myth as a living entity which still breathes and develops with us, although it sometimes sits quietly and waits for us to notice it.
