Prešernova pesnitev kot izraz kulturne neenakovrednosti

Abstract

The Baptism at the Savica (in Slovene Krst pri Savici), the poem about the loss of the Slovenian independence, can be understood as Prešeren’s successful attempt to trick the censorship and to express, in a form of a historical narrative written as a metaphor, the very contents which had to be removed from his elegy Dem Andenken des Matthias Čop in consequence of the censorship interference. With such an approach quite a few apparent contradictions mentioned in the interpretative history of The Baptism can be solved, , such as the problem of Prešeren’s own labelling of the poem in his letter to Čelakovsky, or the problem of Črtomir’s conversion at the end of the third part of the poem. In the 20th century more interpretations arose, explaining Črtomir’s conversion to Christianity as the unavoidable decision of the Slovene nation for their only prospective solution: the stronger western cultural circle. This way they legitimize Črtomir’s renunciation of the freedom-loving Slovenian identity. This new understanding of the poem perceives two Črtomirs in The Baptism, the hero and the defeated one (the former is the one Prešeren himself would like to be, but it is only his poetic illusion, the latter is the Prešeren true self who the poet completely identifies with) and the final message of the poem as the judgement of the cultural non-equivalence. Krst pri Savici, pesnitev o izgubi slovenske neodvisnosti, lahko razumemo tudi kot uspešen Prešernov poskus pretentati cenzuro in v obliki zgodovinske zgodbe kot metafore izraziti tisto vsebino, ki jo je zaradi cenzurnega posega moral izpustiti v svoji elegiji Dem Andenken des Matthias Čop. S takim pristopom lahko razrešimo kar nekaj navideznih protislovij, izpričanih v interpretativni zgodovini Krsta, npr. problem Prešernove lastne označitve pesnitve v pismu Čelakovskemu ali problem Črtomirove spreobrnitve na koncu tretjega dela pesnitve. V 20. stoletju se je pojavilo več interpretacij, ki razumejo Črtomirovo pokristjanjenje kot neizogibno odločitev Slovencev za močnejši, edino perspektivni zahodni kulturni krog, s čimer legitimizirajo Črtomirovo zatajitev svobodoljubnega slovenstva. Novo razumevanje vidi v Krstu pri Savici dva Črtomira, prvega kot junaka in drugega kot poraženca (prvi, kakršen bi sam rad bil, je zgolj Prešernova pesniška utvara, z drugim, kakršen sam je, pa se pesnik popolnoma poistoveti), končno sporočilo pesnitve pa kot obsodbo kulturne neenakovrednosti.
