REPREZENTACIJA SMRTI U PROZNOM OPUSU FRANA GALOVIĆA

U radu je analiziran prozni opus Frana Galovića koji obiluje prizorima smrti i ostalim motivima povezanima s njom. Prikazi smrti predstavljeni su kronološki prema godini nastanka djela, ali i grupirani i objašnjeni prema stilskim odrednicama. Galović neprekidno mijenja i modificira svoj stav o smrti, a osobito u kasnijim radovima zanima ga i problem onoga što dolazi poslije smrti. Sve to rezultira vrtlogom ubojstava i samoubojstava, odnosno sveprožimajućim mrtvačkim plesom (danse macabre), pa i svojevrsnom fascinacijom smrću i rušenjem svih barijera te, po nekim istraživačima, njegovim ponajboljim djelima, ali i povezanošću s biografskim elementima. Prikaz smrti i sa smrću povezanih fenomena u manje istraživanom području Galovićeve proze nametnuo nam se, stoga, kao poseban rakurs u tumačenju djela ovoga pisca.
This paper analyses the prose of Fran Galović, which abounds in death scenes and motifs related to it. The depictions of death are arranged chronologically according to the year of origin, but also grouped and explained according to stylistic determinants. Galović constantly changes and modifies his attitude about death, and especially in later works he is interested in the problem of what comes after death. His thoughts result in a whirlwind of suicides, dance macabre, fascination with death and breaking down all barriers. According to some theorists, those represent his best works, and a connection with biographical elements. The portrayal of death and death-related phenomena in the less researched area of Galović’s prose has therefore imposed as a necessary way of interpreting this writer.
