The study is concerned with images of totalitarianism in Slovak feature film after the year 1989. It monitors the level of social criticism in the1970s and 1980s film against the background of historical, economic and political context and provides examples of banned and censored films. The author raises a question whether the Slovak film paradigm of totalitarianism representations has changed after the year 1989. She seeks the answer using Peirce triad typology. It enables her to identify three specific forms of the totalitarianism legacy discourse: the iconic variant, which is based on reviving a particular experience, the symbolic variant, inspired by the memory and headed for the future and the index variant, revealing the causal relationship between the past and the presence. The iconic variant includes the biggest number of films, which are represented by the collective past stories and dominated at the turn of the decade and in the first half of the 1990s. (The Right For The Past, Sitting On A Branch I Am Fine, Better To Be Rich And Healthy Than Poor And Sick, The Camp Of Fallen Women, When The Stars Were Red). The symbolic variant is associated with the expressive gesture of an emotional protest (See You In Hell, My Friends!, Rivers of Babylon). In the author's opinion, the best reflection is given by the index variant, containing a correlation, allowing the past-presence juxtaposition (Private Lives, Tenderness, The City of the Sun, Mosquitoes' Tango). With regard to the current economic possibilities and value preferences, it is most desired together with a genre (Music).

The term 'demonism' in the history of Slovak literature usually concerns traditional opposition between city and village (literary naturism). The study shows different dimension of that theme, which grew from 'demonism' of the world behind the 'iron curtain'. It deals with conscious appearance of new generation of writers in the second half of 50s (Anton Hykisch, Jaroslava Blazkova, Jozef Kot) and problems of prohibition (auto-censorship and censorship), introducing the level of life facts and empiric experiences through an alternative genre of fine reportage (Ladislav Mnacko, Roman Kalisky, Dominik Tatarka, Alfonz Bednar). Impulses of everyday life, little civil stories, although civilism itself did not represent an aesthetic value, were developed artistically in the 60s, mainly in the literary works by Jan Johanides and in the works of following author generation of fiction. Experimentation with artistic material opened new dimensions of reality. The study applies the terminology of Vladimir Petrik (Generation movements in literature of the second half of 50s, 1975), who used contemporary terms, names of contemporary 'demons' and who discerned reliably ideological and aesthetic criteria.

The paper is dedicated to a jubilee of Rudolf Chmel. Based on the texts published in 1963 paper deals with relational typology within Czech and Slovak cultural context: 'Prvni sesit Smesnych lasek' (The First Book of Absurd Amours) by Milan Kundera, 'Legenda Emoke' (The Legend Emoke) by Josef Skvorecky, 'Hodina ticha' (An Hour of Silence) by Ivan Klima and his Slovak travel book 'Mezi tremi hranicemi' (Among Three Boarders) from 1960. The difference between Slovak and Czech identity is a specific aesthetic task. Their themes are based on semantic differentiation, on the pivot of cultural identity, ethnic and personal distinctions. All texts signalize consciousness of natural connections (similarity), but also semantic scale of differentiation, which enables to make an ideological and institutional convention of problem and in the background to think about existential questions, typical for the 60s. In the cultural studies ethnicity is considered to function in a level of local and global order. Ivan Klima, after an invocative travel book 'Mezi tremi hranicemi', in the novel 'Hodina ticha' left the existential urgency of Slovak theme and he dealt with it in the ranks of exotic regionalism. Milan Kundera turns it into topographic information and a code of mythic paradigm, Josef Skvorecky receded from the topic of Hungarian-Gipsy soul. The study shows, how the position in the 60s changed the position of Czech-Slovak cultural frame.
