Gender stereotypes in the Slovene Youth literature

Within the subject, the students will have been acquainted with a variety of ways in which stereotypes are presented in youth literature. At the same, the students will study, and will acquire skills to apply, contemporary multidisciplinary theories related to Slovene youth literature. Students will be able to develop sensitivity to discern hidden mechanisms by means of which the traditional value hierarchies are shaped within the texts. This will enable the students to critically transfer the reading model to other fields.

The subject is vertically connected to the subjects in Slovene literature I – III and to the subjects in literary theory and methodology. Horizontally, the subject is connected to other literary studies subjects as well as to psychology, didactics and, in some readings, to the arts.
