The thesis titled Comparison of three selected problem-orientated topics in Slovenian children˝s /youth literature is composed of the theoretical and the empirical parts.
In the theoretical part, youth literature as well as problem themes within the youth literature are presented. Three spheres of problem-orientated topics are selected and discussed in detail. The classification of problem-orientated topics for the three selected problem spheres is made: ecocriticism, the topic of homosexuality, adoption. The work of Marija Nikolajeva, From mythic to linear time in children's literature, is also presented. A short presentation of the Marjan Kobe’s application Sodobna pravljica is also made.
In the empirical part three schemes for the analysis of various problem spheres which already contain four set research questions are made for the purposes of the thesis. Two works of different authors from various periods are analyzed for each problem-orientated sphere: altogether six various works and three problem-orientated topics.
