Mária Jančová (1908 – 2003) has been primarily known as the author of children’s books. This paper, however, aims to focus on her – largely overlooked – poetry. After an initial mapping of the theme of motherhood in Slovak women poets from the late of the 19th to the mid-20th century, the article takes a look at the phase of Jančová’s writing career when she authored poems. Some of these were published in her only collection of poetry, Blahoslavení ([Blessed] 1940, 1968). The article provides a close reading of several poems and comments on the flowing of energy between the movements of the body (external movements and internal processes) and nature, with reference to the notion of “lyrical gestures” as defined by the French literary scholar Dominique Rabaté. It also discusses the image of the bodily connection between the mother and her sick little son and the transmigration of the human element into meteorological phenomena and flowers. The poet’s inclination towards the country life connected to the elements and rhythms of life (in this collection) or her confessional-referential poetry of sentiment (present in other poems) may resonate with contemporary readers or inspire theory of the lyric. The essay’s theoretical framework is based on the conceptualisation of motherhood in literary studies, philosophy, and art theory, and on theories that connect aesthetics with bodily processes.

(Slovak title: Tematicke diferencie v koncepte referencneho (moderneho) a autoreferencneho (postmoderneho) narativu alebo ako si porozumiet s literaturou). This study is a contribution to the research of chosen Slovak proses written in the second half of 20th century from the viewpoint of the thematic-topological research and structural-semantic interpretation. It is based on the characteristics of sujet-fabula as well as text narrative qualities. The interpretation framework is established by means of a journey chronotope and the topical circumstances of an epic narrative derived from it, which occur on three levels of the thematic structure of an epic narration. The author defines them as the synopsis, the scenery and the digression and within each she differentiates various narrative modalities: from ostensively mimetic to self-referentially discursive. The research focuses on the verifying referential and self-referential elements of narration in connection with the research of epic prose as a thematic-topological event related to travelling and changes during the journey. From the methodological viewpoint, the study takes a thematic approach to the literary material, because it regards the material as adequately communicative and able to convey our experience with a literary text as an object of interpretation in diachronic cultural-historical context. In order to obtain material to study, texts of R. Sloboda, V. Sikula a P. Vilikovsky were used, all the writers being of the author's regular interest.
