Both texts present a systematic survey of two elementary analytical categories of Structuralist thought — binarity and opposition, especially in their semionarratological implications. In “Binarity”, one structuralist version of binary analysis is described as a decomposition “of the continuum of the observed world along universal relational axes constituting logical oppositions (contradictions). An inventory of elementary binary oppositions is established, which form a paradigmatic matrix of the observed area and structure is as a relational system or network”. Within this method an apriori aspect can be sometimes distinguished when an elementary binary logical structure is assumed as a universal principle underlying the multiplicity of observable phenomena. According to another, yet different conception, used in the context of artificial linguistic simulations and computing, binarity is understood as a principle of reversible de/composition of code based on two elementary signals or elements (formalized, for instance, as +/- or 0/1), which makes further combinatorial descriptions and operations of the system possible. The genesis of binary method, beginning with G. W. Leibniz’s binary code on one hand and Ferdinand de Saussure’s structural linguistics on the other, is followed, including Trubetzkoy’s and Jakobson’s phonology, Claude Lévi-Strauss’s ethnology, Greimas’s structural semantics and ending with the fundamental critique of binarism formulated by Jacques Derrida through his notion of différance and his descriptions of temporalization of structure. In “Opposition”, Trubetzkoy’s non-binary oppositions (gradual, equipollent, isolated, ternary, n-ary oppositions) within phonology, Greimas’s semiotic square (two types of binary oppositions: contradiction, contrariety or Mukařovský’s notions of dynamic antinomies within functionalstructuralist aesthetics are further taken into account.

Literární kánon: modely (dis)kontinuity

100%
EN
This article, preceding Guillory’s essay on the literary canon, among other things, recapitulates the fundamental points of the discussion about the canon to date. The author outlines the basic types of canons (such as local, international, and feminist), and discusses important theories from the English-speaking world which are concerned with the literary canon (for example, those by Frank Kermode, William V. Harris, Barbara Herrnstein Smith, Charles Altieri, and Harold Bloom). He brings up the thought-provoking inquiries of Michel Foucault and the “new historians” who follow on from him. He points out the lack of objectivity of the canon and its obvious dependence on the time it was formed.

Otázky mediality v Pražské škole? Zpětný pohled

63%
EN
The article addresses problems of mediality in the context of the Prague School in its classical period. Drawing from John Guillory’s study “Genesis of the Media Concept”, we work on the hypothesis that new technical media and technologies exerted pressure in the theoretical discourse of the Prague School, via the mutual reflexion of the avantgarde (Nezval, Štyrský, functionalist architecture, the avantgarde theater) and Structuralist thought, to formulate a shift in the delimitation of art. First, we observe the variety of influences that the discourse on film and modern and avantgarde theater had on the Structuralist concepts of the sign, the understanding of the actor or of temporality in art. We further note the tension between linguistic and architectural functionalism in the Prague School thinking and how this tension translates into Mukařovský’s concept of the aesthetic function. Functionalist avantgarde architecture, as we observe, fundamentally influenced Mukařovský’s cultural anthropological theory of functions. On the basis of these converging factors, leading, among other things, to the growing strategic importance of the concept of communication, we conclude by characterizing what we call latent medial traces of certain notions and returning ideas of Prague School theories (apart from sign, the concepts of semantic gesture and unintentionality).

Der Aufsatz widmet sich der Reflexion von Medialität im Kontext der „klassischen Periode“ der Prager Schule (1926–1948). Anknüpfend an die Studie von John Guillory Genesis of the Media Concept gehen wir von der Hypothese aus, dass neue Technologien und neue technische Medien Druck auf die Transformation des Begriffes „Kunst“ im theoretischen Diskurs der Prager Schule ausgeübt haben. Zuerst widmen wir uns dem Phänomen, wie die Reflexion des Films und des modernen und avantgardischen Theaters die strukturalistischen Überlegungen zu den Konzepten „Zeichen“, „Schauspieler“ oder auch „Temporalität in der Kunst“ beeinflusst haben. Weiters konzentrieren wir uns darauf, wie sich die Spannung zwischen dem linguistischen und architektonischen Funktionalismus in Mukařovskýs Denken widerspiegelt. Unserer Beobachtung nach beeinflusste die Avantgarde der funktionalistischen Architektur Mukařovskýs anthropologisch-kulturelle Funktionstheorie maßgeblich. Von der Charakteristik dieser verflochtenen Einflüsse, die sich u. a. dahingehend auswirken, dass der Begriff Kommunikation an Bedeutung gewinnt, gehen wir dazu über, was wir als latente Medialitätsspuren mancher Ideen und Begriffe der Prager Schule – das sind neben dem Konzept „Zeichen“ vor allem „semantische Geste“ und „Unabsichtlichkeit“ – bezeichnen.
