Abstract
In this article I proceed from the understanding of lyric poetry as a subjective literary type that enables the presentation of personal experiences, i.e. emotions, thoughts and sensory perceptions. A comparison between Slovenian and American poetry after World War II shows that the confessional mode in both has remained a constant to this day, with the lyrical self in the American space receiving harsher and constant criticism. The division into conventional (mainstream) and experimental poetry, until recently characteristic of American literary-historical reviews, has not been established in Slovenia, since experimental poetry has not developed its literary system here. However, the term hybrid poetry, an American attempt to transcend the binary model, can still be used for some Slovenian poems. As an example of a poem that follows a romantic or lyrical model, I analyze Jure Jakob’s poem “Hunger.” As an American example of hybridity, I present Catherine Wagner’s poem “Exercise 34 (1/3/02 PM)” and compare it to Ana Pepelnik’s “Tehno.” Both are a fusion of confession and unconventional style. When asked why the confession of personal experience plays an important role in contemporary Slovenian and American poetry, I respond with the suggestion that we recognize it as a universal and historically conditioned poetic tool.
Highlights
Ključne besede: slovenska poezija / ameriška poezija / primerjalne študije / izpovedna lirika / osebno izkustvo / hibridnost / hibridna pesem / Jakob, Jure / Wagner, Catherine / Pepelnik, Ana
Med njimi velja izpostaviti Heglovo Estetiko, kjer je liriko označil kot subjektivno literarno vrsto, v kateri pesnik izraža svoja doživetja in misli
Primerjalni pogled na zgodovino slovenske in ameriške poezije po drugi svetovni vojni pokaže, da je izpovedovanje v obeh ostalo stal nica do današnjega časa, razlika pa je v tem, kako glasni in radikalni so nasprotniki tako ustvarjene poezije med pesniki, kritiki, bralci
Summary
V članku izhajam iz razumevanja lirike kot subjektivne literarne vrste, ki omogoča predstavljanje osebnih izkustev, tj. čustev, misli in čutnih doživljajev. Primerjava med slovensko in ameriško poezijo po drugi svetovni vojni pokaže, da je izpovedni način v obeh ostal stalnica do današnjega časa, pri čemer je lirski jaz v ameriškem prostoru deležen ostrejših in stalnih kritik. Delitev na konvencionalno (mainstreamovsko) in eksperimentalno poezijo, vse do pred kratkim značilna za ameriške literarnozgodovinske preglede, se v Sloveniji ni uveljavila, saj eksperimentalna poezija tu ni razvila svojega literarnega sistema. Ameriški poskus preseganja binarnega modela, pa je mogoče vseeno uporabiti tudi za nekatere slovenske pesmi. Ki sledi romantičnemu ali lirskemu modelu, analiziram pesem »Lakota« Jureta Jakoba. Kot ameriški zgled hibridnosti predstavljam pesem »Exercise 34 (1/3/02 PM)« Catherine Wagner in jo primerjam s pesmijo »Tehno« Ane Pepelnik.
