20.500.12556/DKUM-95124 Preobrazba ljubezni v zreli in pozni ustvarjalnosti Franca Ksaverja Meška med hrepenenjem, odpovedjo in predanostjo The transformation of love in the mature and late works of Franc Ksaver Meško between longing, renunciation, and devotion Prispevek tematološko in semiotično analizira preobrazbo ljubezni v pesniški, pripovedni in dramski ustvarjalnosti Franca Ksaverja Meška (1874–1964), pri čemer se ljubezen razpira kot čustveno, etično in duhovno jedro njegove poetike. Meškov duhovniški poklic, ki ga je vodil k zavestni odpovedi ljubezni do ženske, bistveno oblikuje njegovo literarno imaginacijo – od mladostne idealizacije k odpovedi, kontemplaciji in mistični predanosti. Izstopajo motivi romantične, materinske, domovinske in svetniške ljubezni, ljubezen do padlih žensk pa je prežeta z empatijo, notranjo razklanostjo in vzgojno funkcijo. Meškovo pisanje se navezuje na svetopisemske vzorce, Tolstojevo Moč teme, Cankarjevo socialno občutljivost ter Andersenovo simboliko. Prispevek osvetljuje ljubezen kot simbolno govorico, ki niha med hrepenenjem in odrekanjem, čustveno pristnostjo in transcendentno tišino, ter razkriva napetost med telesnim in duhovnim, molkom in govorico, trpljenjem in svetostjo. The present paper offers a thematological and semiotic analysis of the transformation of love in the poetic, narrative, and drama works of Franc Ksaver Meško (1874–1964), presenting love as the emotional, ethical, and spiritual core of his poetics. Meško’s priestly vocation, which had led him to consciously renounce romantic love, profoundly shapes his literary imagination – from youthful idealization to renunciation, contemplation, and mystical devotion. Prominent motifs include romantic, maternal, patriotic, and saintly love, while his depictions of fallen women are imbued with empathy, inner conflict, and a didactic function. Meško’s writing draws on biblical patterns, Tolstoy’s The Power of Darkness, Cankar’s social sensitivity, and Andersen’s symbolism. This paper illuminates his portrayal of love as a symbolic language oscillating between longing and renunciation, emotional authenticity and transcendent silence, revealing the tension between the bodily and the spiritual, between silence and speech, and between suffering and sanctity. ljubezen kot žrtev padla dekleta duhovniški poklic in odpoved medbesedilnost love as sacrifice fallen maidens priesthood and renunciation intertextuality true false true Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-09-05 09:55:24 2025-09-05 09:55:24 2025-09-08 08:04:04 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 34-68 št. 1 Letn. 18 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-06-24 821.163.6.09 240408067 10.18690/scn.18.1.34-68.2025 1855-6302 RAZ_Avsenik_Nabergoj_Irena_2025.pdf RAZ_Avsenik_Nabergoj_Irena_2025.pdf 1 E107FE4B4AC0D3311E508A1166B158E5 424a882f884b558d606aa75eb6744587d289b9bf92ebe9ea45ac49d49c2e3af4 3a8e4bd0-8a2e-11f0-b26f-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=197707 https://journals.um.si/index.php/slaviacentralis/article/view/5222 1 aea77958-8a2d-11f0-b26f-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=197705 Filozofska fakulteta Univerzitetna založba Univerze v Mariboru Slavia Centralis 0 0 0
