diplomsko delo

Veronika Poljanšek (Author), Janez Vodičar (Mentor)

Abstract

Diplomsko delo se ukvarja z analizo trilogije Njegova temna tvar avtorja Philipa Pullmana. Trilogija vsebuje raznolike religijske elemente, kot so cerkev, izvirni greh, Bog, angeli, podzemlje, šamanizem in kitajsko vedeževanje. Prvi del diplomskega dela je posvečen analizi in primerjavi religijskih pojmov, vzetih iz krščanstva, pri čemer smo bili pozorni tudi na avtorjeve osebne poglede. Elemente iz zgodbe smo umestili v izvorni kontekst in jih primerjali med seboj. Iskali smo skladnost med objektivnim opisom cerkve v trilogiji in Katoliško cerkvijo, opredelili smo se do prikaza delovanja cerkve, iskali povezave med avtorjevo obravnavo izvirnega greha in uradno katoliško razlago. Nadalje smo primerjali nebeško kraljestvo z Nebeško republiko ter podzemlje s krščanskim pogledom na posmrtno življenje. Ključna je podoba Boga, ki od vsega najbolj odstopa od krščanske teologije. Raziskali smo tudi idejno ozadje angelov. Drugi del diplomskega dela je posvečen analizi drugotnih religijskih pojavov, kot so panteizem, panpsihizem, šamanizem, grško-rimski elementi in Knjiga premen. Panteizem in panpsihizem smo povezali s filozofijo, ki se vzpostavlja v trilogiji po razveljavi krščanstva. Pri šamanizmu smo se osredotočili na lik šamana Johna Parryja, pri liku Mary Malone nas je zanimala njena uporaba Knjige premen, analizirali pa smo tudi nekaj grško-rimskih pojmov, ki dodatno osvetlijo že obravnavane elemente, kot so podzemlje in daemoni.

Secondary title:	Religious themes in His dark materials trilogy
Secondary abstract:	In this thesis we analyze His dark materials trilogy written by Philip Pullman. The trilogy contains various religious elements such as the church, original sin, God, angels, the underworld, shamanism and Chinese divination. The first part of the thesis deals with analyzing and comparing religious concepts taken from Christianity with author's personal views in mind. The elements of the story were put in their original context and compared with it. We sought the connection between objective descriptions of the church in the trilogy and the Catholic church, commented on the representation of its actions and researched the way the author deals with original sin in comparison to the official Catholic teachings. We compared the kingdom of heaven and the Republic of heaven; the underworld with the Christian conception of the afterlife. The key element examined is the image of God, with the most profound subversion of Christian theology. We examined the sources behind the concept of angels. The second part of the thesis deals with analyzing secondary religious phenomena such as pantheism, panpsychism, shamanism, greco-roman elements and the Book of Changes. Pantheism and panpsychism were connected with the arising philosophy of the trilogy after the subversion of Christian elements. In regards to shamanism we were mostly concerned with the character of John Parry, we were also interested in the use of the Book of Changes by Mary Malone. We examined certain greco-roman elements to shed more light on already analyzed concepts such as the underworld and daemons.
