Short narrative prose: problems of terminology and methodology

Pospíšil, Ivo (avtor)

The paper deals with the general problem of short narrative prose from the terminological and methodological points of view. It starts from the formation of short narrative in European prose and with the history of various names given to the specific genres of short narrative in different national literatures. It accentuates the similarities as well as the differences between the terms (short story, novella, novel etc.) trying to interpret the problems of the crucial problem of differentiation, the enigma of quantity and quality, of short and long narrative prose as well as the problem of the novel, its evolution, structure and limits in relation to short narrative prose. The kernel of the subject is found in both diachronic and synchronic approaches, in the relationship of methodology and terminology and the national and the international. The author attempts to compare various languages and national literatures to demonstrate how complicated and complex the whole subject is. At the end of his contribution he demonstrates the need for the formation of a comparative encyclopaedia of literary terminology such as the research team from the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University in Brno has been working on.

Izvleček

Prispevek se ukvarja z osnovnim problemom kratke pripovedne proze s terminološkega in metodološkega vidika. Avtorja v prvi vrsti zanima nastanek kratke pripovedi v evropski literaturi oz. zgodovina poimenovanj posameznih vrst kratke proze, ki so se pojavljale v različnih nacionalnih književnostih. Poudarja podobnosti in razlike med termini (kratka zgodba, novela, roman itd.), pri čemer skuša razložiti bistvene težave, ki se pojavljajo pri razlikovanju, ter razločiti uganko kvantitete in kvalitete, krajše in daljše pripovedne proze - tudi glede romana, njegovega razvoja, zgradbe in omejitev v razmerju do krajše pripovedne proze. Bistvo problema je mogoče najti tako v diahronem kot sinhronem pristopu, v razmerju med metodologijo in terminologijo, med nacionalnim in internacionalnim. Avtorjev namen je primerjati različne jezike in nacionalne književnosti ter s tem prikazati, kako zapletena je obravnavana problematika. Prispevek zaključuje z ugotovitvijo, da bi bila pri delu zelo dobrodošla primerjalna literarnoterminološka enciklopedija, kakršno ustvarja raziskovalna skupina na Masarykovi univerzi v Brnu.
