Abstract

The aim of this diploma is to show the development and characteristics of slave narratives by analysing the novel Beloved by Toni Morrison and Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained. The aim is also to show the impact that African-American history (particularly slavery) has had on African American literature. Slavery is one of the main themes of African American writers, particularly in the 18th century; however, it is also an important subject of modern literature and writers. One of those is Toni Morrison, who is a literary voice of slave literature and whose work seeks to shed a light on the problems of African American people. For this purpose the novel Beloved is discussed. The book is a narration of the traumatic experience of slavery. In the same way, directors try to keep the memory of slavery alive in their films. One of those is Quentin Tarantino, who directed the latest film about slavery Django Unchained.

Secondary abstract: Cilj diplomskega dela je pokazati razvoj in značilnosti suženjskih pripovedi in le-te prikazati na primeru analize knjige avtorice Toni Morrison Ljubljena ter Quentin Tarantinovega filma Django brez okovov. Prav tako je namen prikazati vpliv afro-ameriške zgodovine (predvsem suženjstva) na afroameriško literaturo. Suženjstvo je ena izmed glavnih tem afro-ameriških pisateljev predvsem v 18. stoletju, k tej temi se vračajo tudi pisatelji moderne književnosti. Ena izmed teh je Toni Morrison, ki velja za literarni glas suženjske literature in skuša v svojih delih osvetliti probleme afro-ameriškega ljudstva. V ta namen je predstavljen roman pisateljice Morrison Ljubljena, ki je pripoved o travmatičnih izkušnjah suženjstva. Prav tako skušajo spomin na suženjstvo ohraniti režiserji v svojih delih. Eden izmet takih je Quentin Tarantino, ki je režiral najnovejši film o suženjstvu Django brez okovov.
