Post-1989 discussions of the so-called controversial author have become one of the central topics in the cultural and literary fields. These were influenced by several factors, primarily motivated by the political and social changes that took place after the fall of state socialism. The article tackles the issue of social determination of authorial controversy through the theories of Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu (authorial genealogy, the notion of the literary field). Chosen case studies help illustrate the way in which aesthetic and axiological criteria shifted in response to the changing ideological requirements that characterise the literary canon at the given time. At present, authorial controversy is discussed primarily in the media where it often serves as a marketing strategy. In didactical practice, the term is based on the incongruity of the empirical author with the institutionalised understanding of literature as part of humanistic traditions. This contradiction is then reflected in cultural journalism as a controversy. Literary historical research draws on archival research and period documents and in this way employs a different theoretical apparatus which in turn enables the scholar to describe period social and cultural mechanisms that generate controversy as a part of the period language.

The author of the paper deals with an overview of reflection on censorship in the current literary theoretical discourse focusing on the Czech cultural context. He pays special attention to the two-volume monograph titled v Obecném záujmu / In Public Interest/ and the anthology of theoretical studies which were pubished under the title Nebezpečná literatura? /Dangerous Literature?/. He draws attention to the theoretical works by P. Bourdieu, J Butler and L. Losev. He puts individual theoretical findings into relation with contemporary poetics as it was formed by the canon of Socialist Realism (cryptic forms of Esopian language in the contemporary satire). He also pays attention to dispersed forms of censorship which formed the poetics of the 1970s and the 1980s during the period of so-called Normalization (the formation of parallel circulation).

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.

The article presents an overview of Slovak literary samizdat periodicals published in the 1980s: Kontakt, Altamira, K, Fragment, Fragment K. The authors describe them, deal with their thematic focus, content structure, conditions of their emergence and general context of the period, and analyse selected texts that represent the specific poetics of literary samizdat. At the same time, it devotes space to the discussion of the Czechoslovak context of literary samizdat which cannot be separated from Slovak literary samizdat. At the same time, the article briefly outlines theoretical definitions of the concept of the literary samizdat as used in Central and Eastern European context, taking especially into account the specific character of Slovak literary samizdat. The authors draw on international research on samizdat, especially on the works of Czech literary scholars summarised in the encyclopaedic monograph Český literární samizdat 1948 – 1989 ([Czech literary samizdat 1948 – 1989] 2018). The article aims to inspire further research on Slovak literary samizdat.
