TELLING ABOUT LIFE (ON QUESTIONS OF CONTEMPORARY ORAL LITERARY GENRES)

Maja Bošković-Stulli ; Institut za etnologiju i folkloristiku, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Sažetak

The article sheds light on talking about real life from two fundamental angles: as an elementary literary phenomenon and as a genre of oral narrative prose. The folklore and literary notions of skaz are compared and related. Terms and definitions are reviewed. There is discussion of the interrelation of the documentary and the fictional - with the conclusion that every instance of talking has fanciful parts and narrative fiction rooted in the very actof telling, when it shapes the plot. The problem of its place in oral literature is discussed from the point of view of the existence or lack of artistic features (comparison with legends). The separation of structured talking from functionally bound conversation is analyzed. Aspects of collectivity and tradition, as well as individual experiences and creative work, are respectively related to analogous aspects of other oral literary prose genres. Analogies of variants can be seen in maintenance of relating individual events in one person's or groups repertoire, while analyses of traditional plots and motifs are in typified thematic circles.
