Српски роман за децу на почетку 21. века у светлу књижевних награда (2001-2010)

Abstract

Doktorska disertacija naslovljena “Srpski roman za decu na početku 21. veka u svetlu književnih nagrada (2001-2010)” bavi se analizom romana za decu na srpskom jeziku nagrađenih jednom od tri relevantne nagrade: Nagradom “Neven”, Nagradom “Politikinog Zabavnika” i Nagradom “Rade Obrenović” . Osnovni predmet rada jeste sagledavanje tipoloških odrednica i žanrovskih usmerenja romana za decu u prvoj deceniji 21. veka, njihovih estetskih vrednosti i(li) reprezentativnosti, te utvrđivanje dominantne slike sveta i detinjstva prezentovanih u ovim delima, kao i razmatranje njihove razvojne relevantnosti. Romani su analizirani pojedinačno i u okviru tipoloških odrednica kojima, po našem mišljenju pripadaju, ali su, takođe, sagledavani u širem kulturološkom kontekstu . Razmatran je odnos nagrađenih romana prema aktuelnim događajima, kao i ukupna uklopljivost u koncept megastrukture modernizma, referencijalnost, prisutnost u medijima, te mogućnost da budu baza za najsavremeniji koncept kulture namenjene deci koji implicira njihovo uključivanje u obrazovni sistem, odnosno kanonizaciju. Sa obzirom da je reč o delima koja nastaju u periodu tranzicije, važan deo istraživanja je bio i odnos ovih romana prema širem kontekstu srpskog romana za decu, sa naglaskom na periodu osamdesetih i devedesetih godina. Zaključak koji izvodimo nakon istraživanja jeste da je u naznačenom periodu napisano i nagrađeno niz romana koji po estetskoj izuzetnosti odgovaraju najvišim zahtevima bogate tradicije srpske književnosti za decu. Takođe, primećena je i potreba za promenama i inovacijama, koja je uslovila da povremeno razlog za nagrađivanje bude reprezentativnost dela i njegov komunikativni potencijal, umesto izuzetnosti. Tri (tada) mlada pisca (Jasminka Petrović, Igor Kolarov, Uroš Petrović) su sredinom decenije u potpunosti posvetili svoj umetnički i društveni angažman stvaralaštvu za decu, te svojim autentičnim autorskim potpisima dragoceno obogatili savremenu dečju književnost. Dakle, umetnička dela nastala u prvoj dekadi 21. veka imaju veliki potencijal da postanu deo budućeg kanona, ali je prethodno neophodna ozbiljna stručna i institucionalna rasprava

The Doctoral Dissertation entitled “Serbian Novel for Children at the Beginning of the 21st Century in the Light of Literary Prizes (2001 – 2010)” is based on analysis of novels for children in Serbian language that were awarded one of the three relevant prizes: “Neven“, ”Politikin zabavnik” and “Rade Obrenović”. The basic focus of the dissertation is analysis of typological characteristics and genre orientations of the novels for children in the first decade of the 21st century, their esthetic values and/or representativity, and determination of a dominant vision of the world and childhood presented in these novels, as well as evaluation of their developmental relevance. The novels have been analyzed individually as well as within typological characteristics to which, in our opinion, they belong, and also they have been seen in a wider culturological context. We have analyzed the relation between the novels that received awards and current events, their potential to fit in the megastructural modernism concept, their reference values, presence in the media and a possibility to be a basis for the most modern culture concept dedicated to children, which implies their inclusion in the educational system, that is, the canonization. Bearing in mind that we speak about works that have come into being in the transition period, an important part of our investigation was oriented towards the relation of these novels with a wider context of the Serbian novel for children, with an emphasis on the period of the eighties and ninetieth. The conclusion that we made after the research is that many novels have been written and awarded a prize in the stated period which, judged by esthetic uniqueness, correspond to the highest requirements of the rich tradition of the Serbian literature for children. Also, a need for changes and innovations has been noticed; certain works were awarded prizes because of their representative character and their communicational potential, not because of their uniqueness. In the middle of the decade three (then) young authors (Jasminka Petrović, Igor Kolarov, Uroš Petrović), dedicated their entire artistic and social engagement to creating books for children, so that they, by their authentic signatures as authors, enriched the modern literature for children. Thus, the works of art created in the first decade of the 21st century have a great potential to become a part of the future canon; however, before it happens, it is necessary to expose them to a serious and institutional discussion.
