The first is Luiza Pesjak, whose work is characterized by ...literary multilingualism. Then, in the post-World War 2 period, the less well-known but important storyteller from Resia, Tïna Wajtawa, whose work is also characterized by literary multilingualism, as well as Indo-European motifs. But the most representative contemporary female storyteller is Svetlana Makarovič, who is known not only for literary intertextuality, but also eclecticism, for she has drawn upon numerous languages, literatures and cultures.Keywords: female storytellers, Luiza Pesjak, Tïna Wajtawa, Svetlana Makarovič.
The article presents the city as motif of Slovenian youth literature in four different periods, beginning in the first period of original Slovenian youth literature in the second half of the 19th ...century, second period in the first half of the 20th century, third period in the second half of the 20th century and after 1950, when significant books were produced in the field of short modern stories, emphasising on picture books and realistic narrative prose, and the fourth period after 1990. A discernable shift can be observed in the thirties of the 20th century, during the times of socialist realism. The most significant change occurred after 1960, when massive migration from rural to urban environments caused by industrialisation began. The motif of urban environment especially marked modern realistic narrative, coined problematic narrative after 1990, with its focus on issues of growing up in such environments. The city as motif or theme doesn’t appear only in realistic narrative, but since the early 20th century also in fantastic narrative, thus it dichotomically presents the image of real world in Slovenian youth realistic narrative.
V prispevku je prikazan motiv mesta v slovenski mladinski književnosti v štirih različnih obdobjih, od začetkov v prvem obdobju izvirne slovenske mladinske književnosti v drugi polovici 19. stoletja, ...v drugem obdobju oziroma v prvi polovici 20. stoletja, v tretjem obdobju oziroma po letu 1950, ko nastanejo bistvene kratke sodobne pravljice s poudarkom na slikaniški knjižni izdaji in realistični pripovedni prozi in v četrtem obdobju oziroma po letu 1990. Vidni premik je v 30. letih 20. stoletja oziroma v času socialnega realizma. Izrazitejše množične selitve iz vaškega okolja v mestno zaradi industrializacije so opazne po letu 1960. Motiv urbanega okolja je po letu 1990 posebno zaznamoval sodobno realistično pripoved, imenovano problemska pripovedna proza, z osredotočenostjo tudi na problematiko sodobnega odraščanja v tem okolju. Motivno-tematsko se mesto ne pojavlja le v realistični pripovedi temveč tudi v fantastični pripovedi že od začetkov 20. stoletja. Slovenska mladinska realistična pripoved tako dihotomično spremlja podobo realnega mesta.

Keywords: mapping, cultural heritage, literary culture, painted beehive panels, ICT, Google Maps.

The article presents selected Slovenian and foreign definitions of the picturebook, its classification and theories. It presents the literary-historical and theoretical development of the ...picturebook in Slovenia, drawing on foreign (M. Nikolajeva, S. Beckett, B. Ktimmerling-Meibauer) and Slovenian (M. Kobe, D. Haramija and J. Batic) scholars. We try to present the picturebook as an object of study and therefore examine the development of the integration of picturebooks into the Slovenian school system through the curriculum. Keywords: picturebook, illustrations, fairy tales, curriculum, crossover.
The article presents the topic of the Holocaust in the curricula for Slovene language in three social systems (1984, 1998, 2019). Based on a literary analysis of children’s writing (diaries, ...songbooks, and commemorative books) during the Holocaust, special attention is paid to the The Diary of a Young Girl, written by twelve-year-old Anne Frank (1942–1944). The U.S. Holocaust Museum keeps about 70 digitized children’s diaries (manuscripts and translations into English). The Children in the Holocaust exhibition is on display at the Yad Vashem Memorial Center in Israel, featuring albums, diaries, toys, books, personal items, letters, postcards, drawings and commemorative books. The Museum of Recent History Celje contains diaries and commemorative books, written by the so-called ‘stolen children’ (Slavko Preložnik's Diary, Pepca Medved’s Memorial Book and Justine Marolt's Songbook). The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2009, alongside the Bible and Grimm’s Fairy Tales. In the conclusion, we state that, due to all the above, the exclusion of the The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank from the curriculum for Slovene (2018/2019) is unacceptable.

The article presents the artistic work of the illustrator Hinko Smrekar from the point of view of literary studies. In his illustrations, which are a synthesis of visual and verbal text (M. ...Nikolajeva), Smrekar often used motifs from folk tales (merman, dwarf, fairy...) and thus recreated them. With the illustrations of Andersen’s Fairy Tales (1940), he expressed social criticism, e.g. in the Zrcalo sveta (Mirror of the World) series (1932-1933). The illustration of the classic Martin Krpan (1917) in picture book form represents the first picture book “for children” and at the same time marks a turning point in Slovenian youth literature. From the point of view of literary science, Smrekar's style could be defined as carnivalesque, as the author ridicules cultural figures, politicians, religious representatives, and above all, visionarily predicts the time of dystopia and the Second World War, including his own tragic death.Keywords: Hinko Smrekar, fairy tales, ATU, Fran Levstik, Martin Krpan, H. C. Andersen, carnival, Mihail Bakhtin.
