Afriška literatura

diplomsko delo

Denis Recek (Author), Victor Kennedy (Mentor)

Abstract

The topic of this diploma is the formation and shaping of African literature. The first chapter is about the beginning of African literature. It describes oral literature and its transmission into written literature. Written African literature had great problems in becoming a part of world literature because of its diversity of languages and dialects. Christianity and Islam are mentioned as two religions which had a great impact on African literature. Colonialism is broadly described as an essential factor in the development of African literature. The second chapter is an analysis of a famous novel written by Alan Paton entitled Cry the Beloved Country. It speaks of a parson searching for his son in a big city. During this search there are many descriptions of the circumstances people live and their relationships. I compared the novel to a recent movie about aliens that are imprisoned in a concentration camp entitled District 9.

Secondary abstract:	Vsebina diplome se nanaša na oblikovanje afriške književnosti. Prvo poglavje govori o začetkih Afriške književnosti. Opisuje ustno književnost in prehod v pisno književnost. Pisna književnost je z velikimi problemi postala del svetovne književnosti, ker ima veliko različnih jezikov in narečij. Krščanstvo in Islam sta omenjeni kot religiji, ki sta imeli zelo velik vpliv na Afriško književnost. Kolonializem pa je bistven dejavnik v razvoju Afriške književnosti. Drugo poglavje vsebuje analizo znane novele Alana Patona in govori o duhovniku, ki išče svojega izgubljenega sina v velikem mestu. Med samim iskanjem opisuje pogoje v katerih živijo ljudje in njihove odnose. Novela je primerjana z modernim filmom o Nezemljanih, ki so zaprti v koncentracijskem taborišču.
