Afekt in doživljanje intenzivnosti v slovenski literaturi in kulturi na primeru Kurenta

This article presents various ways of depicting affectivity or affect as intensity in folk literature and in literary works by Slovenian authors, which take into account the historical context (Kurent in smrt ‘The Kurent and Death’ by France Kosmač), emphasize the importance of rituals (Pust ‘The Carnival’ by Anja Mugerli), and present a reconstructed approach based on the meaning of sensory experience (Pijani kurent ‘The Drunken Kurent’ by France Forstnerič).
