Reprezentacija žensk skozi zgodovino kratke proze : diplomsko delo

Kavčič, Karin (author), Virk, Tomislav (mentor)

V pričujočem diplomskem delu se ukvarjam z reprezentacijo žensk skozi zgodovino kratke proze, pri čemer se osredotočim na Cervantesa in Boccaccia. Najprej opišem vlogo žensk v družbi v času nastajanja Boccaccievega Dekamerona in Cervantesovih Zglednih novel, nato pa to primerjam z opisi žensk v obeh omenjenih delih. Ob podrobni analizi ugotavljam, da tako Boccaccio kot tudi Cervantes v nekaterih pogledih ostajata pri miselnosti takratnega časa in ženske predstavljata skozi oči patriarhalne družbe. Hkrati pa oba od idej in norm takratnega časa deloma tudi odstopata. Pri obeh lahko zaznamo zgodnje zametke feminizma, ki pogosto ostaja spregledan pod mnogimi seksističnimi komentarji in opazkami, ki ženske prikazujejo v negativni luči.

Abstract

This thesis discusses the portrayal of women through the history of short prose, focussing on Cervantes and Boccaccio. Firstly, I describe the role of women in society in the time of writing Boccaccio's Decameron and Cervantes' Exemplary Novels. Then I compare their role to the portrayal of women in both works. After a thorough analysis I arrive at a conclusion that both Boccaccio and Cervantes adopt the mindset of their time and present women as dictated by the patriarchal society. At the same time, both of them partly deviate from the ideas and norms of their time. We can spot early signs of feminism, which are, however, often overlooked because of the sexist commentary and remarks, presenting women in an extremely unfavourable way.
