МИТ ПРОЉЕЋА: ИЛИ О КОМИЧНИМ ТИПСКИМ ЛИКОВИМА У РОМАНИМА ЗА ДЈЕЦУ АЛЕКСАНДРА ПОПОВИЋА
COMIC CHARACTER TYPES IN THE CHILDREN’S NOVELS BY ALEKSANDAR POPOVIĆ

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this research paper is the representation of comic character types in the novels “Gardijski potporučnik Ribanać” and “Lek protiv starenja” by Aleksandar Popović. In the process of basic character classification, the paper employs Frye’s structuralist conceptualization of comedy, where the essence of comic action lies in the competition between the alazon (braggart) and the eiron (self-deprecating character). In this regard, the research aims to demonstrate how these characters are shaped through naming, physical description, and character actions (specifically, through predetermined functions). Furthermore, the paper should explore the functioning of key poetic elements such as grotesque, dreams, imagination, play, and performative elements in children’s prose (and children’s literature in general) by Aleksandar Popović.
