U prilogu me zanima analiza mikrostrukture izabranih književnih tek-stova, dakle precizno odnosno pomno čitanje (engl. close reading), koje se smatra suprotnošću distant readingu, dakle analizi u ...pravilu većih količina teksta. Pomno čitanje načelno smatram prikladnom strategijom interpretacije teksta. Toj strategiji pripadaju i naoko banalne stvari, na primjer pitanje kakve je vrste odnos između povijesno dokumentiranih događaja i njihova književnog (fikcionalnog) oblikovanja u tekstu, kakvi su u književnom tekstu prostorni (u konkretnom primjeru Mari-bor i njegova topografija) i vremenski podaci (linearni ili rekurzivni). Nadalje ta strategija treba omogućiti točnije određivanje pripadnosti nekoj književnoj vrsti, na primjer ciklusu ili nekoj vrsti superteksta (ovdje romana-trilogije). Naposljetku će se prikazati kako se temeljno proturječje Maribora, njegova slovensko-njemačka prošlost, zrcali u Jančarovim romanima. Pritom nas zanimaju i procesi, motivi, slike, likovi, događaji ili čak mikrotekstovi oblikovani u Jančarovoj kratkoj prozi, koji se kasnije u romanima pojavljuju u novom kontekstu. Kao Jančarove ratne romane analizirat ćemo Severni sij (1984), To noč sem jo videl (2010) i In ljubezen tudi (2017).
The novel Mocking Desire was published in 1993, when Drago Jančar was already a wellknown author, who had received some important literary awards. This hybrid and multifaceted literary work describes ...the Slovenian writer’s stay in New Orleans and in New York. Because Jančar visited the United States on a Fulbright Fellowship in 1985, his novel is read as an autobiography, although the author has not established an autobiographical pact with the reader (Lejeune). The aim of this study is to consider the autobiographical writing as a literary genre, the figure of reading, and the play with convention, in order to answer the question what provokes the autobiographical reading of Mocking Desire.
This paper tries to show the literature as an important part of building and conservation of the cultural memory of the society. Cultural memory belongs also to individuals and groups and they have a ...common reference point, which are often photos or objects that evoke the memory, event or commemoration which is an important part of identity. In this case is also important that literature through biographical or fictional stories represents space and time. Often fictional literature creates a genuine feeling of a memory to some particular times or events, because it had a wider range of stories, characters and situations and in this way is literature creating collective memory in a more concentrated form. On the case of recent novel by Drago Jancar To noč sem jo videl - That night I saw her, will I show how work literature as a medium of cultural memory and also which are the themes, that are important in Slovenian cultural memory
