Abstract
Hrvatska književnost ima bogatu tradiciju. Mišljenja o tome kakva bi književnost uistinu trebala biti, mijenjala su se ovisno o društvenom uređenju u određenom razdoblju. Sadržajno, prvi dječji romani prikazivali su društveno mišljenje i kulturu naroda prošlog vremena. Likovi u romanima bila su najčešće djeca koja su poštivala strogo nametnuti autoritet odraslih i društva. Rodni stereotipi o jačini, hrabrosti i sposobnosti dječaka, a slabostima, plahosti i beskorisnosti djevojčica, godinama su ispunjavali sadržaje svih vrsta književnosti. Kako je vrijeme odmicalo, rascjep među rodnim ulogama se smanjio te su se stereotipi promijenili. Ovaj diplomski rad problematizira dvadesetak suvremenih hrvatskih dječjih romana, a za cilj ima vidjeti što se, kako i u kolikoj mjeri promijenilo s obzirom na udio i funkciju rodnih stereotipa u romanima te je li rodni identitet žene ojačao do te mjere da danas u romanesknom svijetu funkcionira kao ravnopravan muškome.Croatian literature has a rich tradition. Opinions on what kind of literacy really should be, have changed, depending on social arrangements in a given period. In content, the first children's novels depicted the social thinking and culture of the people of the past. Characters in novels were most often children who respected strictly the imposing authority of adults and society. Gender stereotypes about the strength, courage and ability of boys and, on the other side, about the weaknesses, fears and uselessness of girls, had been filled the content of all kinds of literature for years. As time went by, the split between roles became less and these stereotypes changed. This graduate thesis deals with about twenty contemporary Croatian children's novels, and aims to see how and to what extent they have changed in terms of the share and function of gender stereotypes in novels and whether the gender identity of women has strengthened to the extent that today, in the novelistic world, it functions as equal as the male
