Common points and differences that are reflected in the literatures of neighboring peoples, and Hungarian and Slovenian reading and analysis of the declarative world of the translated works;
Analysis of translated literature and the dynamics of cultural contacts.
Content (Syllabus outline)
The lectures and the seminar deal with the reception of Hungarian literature in the Slovenian literary space and vice-versa - the process of reception aesthetics of contemporary Hungarian literature. Activities are based on actual literary works (works translated written by: Péter Esterházy, Péter Nádas, László Darvasi, Endre Kukorelly and translated into Slovenian; and works written by: Kajetan Kovič, Drago Jančar, Aleš Čar, Aleš Šteger and translated into Hungarian) and deal with how particular literary works were accepted in a certain cultural space (Slovenian and Hungarian) that features a completely different cultural and historical tradition. One can find different reading horizons, a different understanding of its artistic meaning and different aesthetical judgements. The subject deals with authors who facilitated and maintained these literary contacts and the spiritual channels that had an important role in mediating literary information.
