POPELJUHA ZAVALJUHA: STILISTIČKA INTERPRETACIJA NARODNE BAJKE
POPELJUHA ZAVALJUHA: A STYLISTIC INTERPRETATION OF A CINDERELLA FOLK TALE

Summary/Abstract: The paper gives a stylistic interpretation of a “local Cinderella.” This northern Čakavian oral fairytale was first documented in 1876. A stylistic analysis of the text of an oral fairytale requires a complex methodology: factors to be considered are: the nature of an oral fairytale genre, the local idiom, a contemporary reader’s diachronic distance to the text, the context of artistic creation, implicit understanding of what stylistic interpretation is, but also the need to recognize contemporary interpretative positions and interdisciplinarity implicated. In relation to the definition of the female subject adopted from feminist criticism, the author performs a stylistic analysis of the fairytale. In the process, the relationship between the limits of the genre and the methodology used is explored.
