Since the 1990s, literary censorship has been a focus of scholars not only in terms of literary history but also as a specific literary-theoretical problem. Czech literary studies entered the new discourse on censorship in 2015 with an extensive two-part monograph on censorship and social regulation of Czech literature published by the Institute for Czech Literature of the Czech Academy of Sciences (1749–2014). This study follows upon the above-mentioned project, in particular the research mapping censorship mechanisms after 1989 in Slovakia. It draws from the theoretical works of Pierre Bourdieu, who sees censorship not exclusively as a legal authority that sanctions and punishes, but as a field that behaves similarly to the market. In this sense we can talk about a socially authorized discourse rather than censorship. The study includes some censorship “cases” from post-1989 Slovakia (concerning the authors Martin Kasarda, Peter Pišťanek and Dušan Taragel) that have been seen as efforts by certain religious groups to regulate cultural and literary processes.
