Opis: Finally, Darko Ilin will examine the sexuality discourse within the texts of literary history and artistic biography in his paper “Conceiving literary sexualities: the imagination of Ivan Cankar's sexuality in the works of Lojze Kraigher”. This paper examines the discourse of masculinity and sexuality in relation to Ivan Cankar in the artistic biography/biographical study of Cankar written by Lojze Kraigher. Based on Kraigher's biographical account of the author's life and work, the study analyses how the discourse of sexuality helped shape the understanding of Ivan Cankar as a canonical figure in the Slovenian literary system. Through close readings of key passages and their analysis, it examines how Cankar's biography imagines masculinity and sexuality and how these imaginaries reflect broader cultural and historical contexts. By constructing the contrast between the writer's irresistible artistic power and weak sexual capacity, Lojze Kraigher establishes the premise of Cankar's sublimation of sexual desire in art. The essay demonstrates that Cankar's sexuality was often the focus of critical and biographical discourse. By examining these issues in the context of literary-artistic biography, this paper contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the complexity of sexuality discourse and its impact on literary history.
