Literárne stvárnenie postáv so sociálnym a zdravotným znevýhodnením v próze pre deti a mládež na Slovensku (od polovice 19. storočia do roku 1948)
Character with social and health disadvantage in the prose for children and youth in Slovakia (from mid-19th century to 1948)

Summary/Abstract: The study presents the analysis of prose works for children and youth in terms of the frequency of the theme of a human with social or health disadvantage and the ways of his/her portrayal. The analysed sample comprised both original and translated production published in Slovakia in the period between 1850 – 1948. The authors analysed the sample in terms of: 1. presence of social and health disadvantage (with a focus on somatic and sensory impairment, and intellectual disability) in the prosaic works; 2. modifications and function of this topic in the structure of the literary works and in a relation to the recipient; 3. modifications that the topic was subjected to in portrayal of relationship of society towards a person with social and health disadvantage. Based on the analysis, there were formulated the conclusions on attitudes adopted by the then contemporary society towards a human with social and health disadvantage and in the literary renderings for children and youth in Slovakia.
