POČECI SRPSKE KRITIČKE MISLI O KNJIŽEVNOSTI ZA DECU I MLADE
Rezime
Nastala raslojavanjem kritike prema horizontalnoj paraleli, misao o dečjoj literaturi danas je potvrđena kao kritičkoteorijska forma koja procenjuje i gradira umetničko delo po zakonima koji proizlaze iz njegove specifične prirode. Međutim, u početku kritičko razmatranje šaljivih priča, pesama i poslovica, ostvarenja prijemčiva mladeži, svodilo se uglavnom na tumačenje sa stanovišta pedagogije i pouke. Kriterijum humora i igre potisnut je u drugi plan. U međuratnom periodu, kada i sama literatura prijemčiva mladima dobija u estetskoj vrednosti, kritička misao iznalazi nešto drukčiji postupak koji nagoveštava pouzdanije rasvetljavanje stilske literarne strane dela usmerenog mladima.
Ključne reči: književnost za decu, književnost za mlade, kritika, pedagogija, igra.
BEGINNINGS OF THE SERBIAN CRITICAL THOUGHT ON CHILDREN'S AND ADOLESCENTS' LITERATURE
Summary
Grown out of a horizontal stratification of criticism, critical considerations of the children's literature are nowadays affirmed as a critical-theoretical form for the assessment and grading of a work of art according to the laws springing from its own specific nature. However, at the beginning almost all critical considerations of humorous stories, poems and proverbs - works suiting the taste of the young - used to boil down to an interpretation from the standpoint of pedagogy and teaching. A criterion of humor and entertainment was repressed into the background. In the period between the two wars, when the literature capturing the attention of young people gained in aesthetic value itself, the critical thought worked out a slightly different procedure which announced a more reliable illumination of the stylistic literary side of the works intended for the young.
Key words: children's literature, adolescents' literature, criticism, pedagogy, entertainment.
