V literarni strukturi obstajajo prvine, ki omogocajo vecjo identifikacijo z zunajtekstualnim svetom, vendar te prvine opozarjajo le na soobstoj fiktivnega in družbeno imaginarnega v literarnem delu, medtem ko je ideoloska interpelacija možna sele, ko literarno delo stopi v razmerje z normami interpretacije, v katerih se ideoloskost udejanja kot zunanja intervenca moci.

Similarities in creating meaning by double referencing are highlighted, both in literature and music. Extra-musical elements seem to be necessary to establish a narrative and to trigger an ideological interpellation. With regards to this claim, the paper examines the ideological discourse of the »douceur du foyer« in the genre of opera.

It opens by discussing two examples of historical narrative in the form of the long poem. John Newlove historicizes the Native American mythology that he deploys by adopting the perspective of historical accounts (by G. Hyde and D. Thompson) and by referring to historical events (the North-West Rebellion). E. J. Pratt attempts to create a national mythological narrative in his renowned long poems Brebeuf and His Brethren and Towards the Last Spike . Although he extensively paraphrases and quotes the historical sources on the subject, they are unobtrusively woven into the narrative. Pratt thus conceals the fictional additions and the omissions of historical references, and consequently constructs a bicultural national myth at the expense of suppressing the perspective of the indigenous peoples as well as the historical trau...

Z zamejitvijo dveh vrst ironije, besedne in situacijske, ter z analizo binarnih opozicij, iz katerih izhaja abivalenca ironicnih izjav oz. situacij, ugotavlja, da se ironija v literarnem besedilu giblje med dvema skrajnostma. Zupanova ironija z uporabo razlicnih binarnih parov in zabrisanimi prehodi med ironicnim in dobesednim izjavljanjem dosledno ohranja ambivalenco, znacilno za fiktivna besedila. Mustar z drugacnim - analoskim - tipom binarnih parov, s poudarjenim dobesednim registrom in z drugimi sredstvi ustvarja enopomenskost ironicnih situacij, ki ožijo estetsko dialoskost besedila in že prehajajo v družbeni angažma.

Izhajajoc iz Ricoeurjevih tez o narativni identiteti literaturo opredeljuje kot enega pomembnejsih dejavnikov samoreprezentacije pri narodih, ki se pretežno utemeljujejo v skupni simbolni dediscini in manj v teritorialni enotnosti (t. i. ius soli ).

Common symbolic imaginary in Canada is in itself problematic due to the lack of historical personalities and events that could be acceptable to both “founding groups” (i.e., English and French). Use of space as one of the main constituents of the national imaginary is thus not surprising. By analyzing the poetry of John Newlove and E. J. Pratt, the author shows that both use the vastness of geographical territory as a means of Canadian cultural identification, but they are also conscious of language/rhetoric as an equivalent of spatial images and even as a means of domination over space. The imagery of Canadian space shows vast, unresponsive, or even actively hostile territory, but above all the landscape that challenges lyrical speakers and their fictive personas to endure. It is true that such is the imagery of the space and of the Canadian cultural myth as described in the famous critical intervent...

It does so by contrasting work by, especially, Josip Vidmar, Dušan Pirjevec, Northrop Frye and Margaret Atwood. Their work is interpreted as a late example of the transnational phenomenon of cultural nationalisms. Canadian and Slovenian cultural nationalisms of the 19th century, as well as their late offsprings in the 20th century, are partly interpreted as a consequence of a specific colonial position of the two countries during the 19th century, resulting in a politically non-radical, loyalist nationalism.

Frye has provided a background for treatment of the fictive as aesthetic structure and has employed the study of Canadian culture primarily as a specific tool to describe literature with a disturbed aesthetic structure.
