Odcizení, úzkost a hledání identity v románu Stiga Dagermana Bränt barn

Lišuchová, Ľudmila

The aim of this thesis is to record a relation between the French existentialism and the existentialist novel Bränt barn written by Stig Dagerman, firstly published in 1948. The comparison with French existentialism is drawn on the basis of the philosophical writings of the prominent existentialist writer J. P. Sartre and already written pieces of work on the topic of Stig Dagerman and existentialism. In the thesis, the emphasis is first of all placed on these three thematic areas: alienation, anxiety and seeking one's identity. They are interconnected with other existentialist phenomena such as absurdity, insincerity or freedom and responsibility. Sartre's philosophy is very similar to Dagerman's thoughts. Apparently, there is a huge influence of existentialist philosophy in Dagerman's literature in loneliness and absurdity of the main character's life. On the contrary, Dagerman chooses his own unusual approach when talking about distress or fear. Moreover, signs of inspiration by Freud's psychoanalysis appear in his work.
