Ženske v kriminalnem romanu: Cimre Maje Novak in Umor na Orient ekspresu Agathe Christie : diplomsko delo

Lutman, Anika (author), Zupan Sosič, Alojzija (mentor)

V svoji diplomski nalogi sem se osredotočila na enega izmed manj obravnavanih romanesknih žanrov, to je kriminalni žanr. Raziskala sem splošni razvoj kriminalnega romana v tujini in tudi pri nas. Kriminalke večina ljudi še vedno šteje za trivialni žanr, zato ne obstaja veliko teorij o njih. Predvsem me je zanimalo, kako so v kriminalne romane vključene ženske, zato sem se posebej posvetila ženskam kot avtoricam kriminalnih romanov. Pri nas je glavna predstavnica teh pisateljic Maja Novak, v svetu pa Agatha Christie. Nato sem se osredotočila še na posamezne ženske like v romanih Cimre (1995) in Umor na Orient ekspresu (1934). Posebej sem primerjala Rebeko, glavno preiskovalko v Cimrah, in Hercula Poirota v Umoru na Orient ekspresu ter vse ostale ženske, ki nastopajo v obeh romanih. Ugotovila sem, da imajo ženske kar nekaj skupnih lastnosti, a nekega tradicionalnega ženskega lika v kriminalnih romanih ni.

Abstract

The thesis focuses on one of the less researched novel genres, the crime novel. I explored the development of the crime novel in general and specifically on our grounds. Crime novels are still seen as a trivial genre, so not many theories exist. I was especially interested in the roles women play in the world of crime novels, so I primarily focused on women as crime novel authors, Maja Novak in Slovenia and Agatha Christie generally, and as literary figures in the novels Cimre (1995) and Murder on the Orient Express (1934). Rebeka, the main inspector in Cimre, and Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express, alongside all of the other featured women were compared. I discovered that women in the novels have quite a few similar personality traits but some kind of a traditional women figure in crime novels does not exist.
