Socialist »Uses of Enchantment«Vidmar, Ksenija H. (Avtor) sexualitynational identityfairy talesfamily romancesocialisminfantile citizenshipThis paper examines the relationship between fairy tales, sexuality, and national identity in socialist Slovenia. Theoretically, it builds on the canonical work by Bruno Bettelheim, The Uses of Enchantment. The main objective of the analysis is to interrogate the Freudian sexual script in relation to Slovene national identity formation. For this purpose, I study two fairy tales from the socialist period, France Bevk’s Peter Klepec and Moj dežnik je lahko balon by Ela Peroci. The concepts of family romance and infantile citizenship are applied.20232026-07-09 11:04:52Delo ni kategorizirano30963UDK: 009, 316.74:398.2ISSN pri članku: 1408-5348DOI: 10.19233/ASHS.2023.33COBISS_ID: 181427203slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
