This essay examines the neglected problem of authorship in relation to the Czech forged Manuscripts (RKZ). Both the moral perspective of the Battle of the Manuscripts and the implied collective authorship of the folkloric texts of the Manuscripts made problematic any connections between an individual author and the Manuscripts. Drawing on recent re-examinations of forged literature in British literary studies, the present author explores the motives and the Romantic context of the Czech author-forger(s). He argues that forgery was an integral form of authorship in the Romantic period, very much a part of the changing landscape of literary institutions, even as emerging Romantic categories such as originality and authenticity made forgery a potentially condemnable practice.

The advanced use of digital technologies, the existence of freely accessible structured knowledge bases, the increasing level of standardization and the needs of the scientific community offer those who process bibliographical data qualitatively new options for processing such data. In line with current trends in accessing scientific data, which are also reflected in the development of scientific policies (FAIR principles, open science, linkable open data, etc.), the issue of the re-use of existing datasets is gaining in importance. The present text uses the example of the Literarybibliography.eu portal to indicate the options for creating an international subject bibliography for literary studies from existing data sources, while discussing both the theoretical concept behind the project and the technological and methodological issues involved in the creation of such a bibliography, especially the harmonization and further enhancement of the source data.

This study attempts to reconstruct key elements in the thought of literary critic and folklorist Bedřich Václavek. Václavek is generally recognized as a prominent figure in interwar literary development and as a researcher who examined genres of popular tradition that had previously eluded scholarly attention. Yet his thought is not well known as a synthetic whole. The reception of his work is divided into two separate fields, and interpreters have paid little attention to the importance of his folkloristic work on his understanding of literature, and to the importance of his literary theory on his understanding of folklore. Václavek’s work as a whole remains little known. Nevertheless, Václavek dealt with parallel issues in his two main fields, elaborating complementary conceptual frameworks, each of which contributed to the originality of the other. If we view Václavek only as a literary critic, we may see him as a figure who voiced and confronted crucial challenges of his times, but who does not particularly stand out from among the many other critics of his day who made similar attempts to bridge the experimental literary ambitions of the avant-garde and the social objectives of those political movements that the avant-garde most frequently embraced. And if we view Václavek only as a folklorist, we may see him as a careful scholar who contributed to the development of his discipline, but who did not go beyond its boundaries to lay out the more general social importance of this work. It is only when we look at Václavek’s work in its entirety that we perceive the conceptual innovation he brought to literary criticism from folklore studies, as well as the social importance acquired by folklore studies when it is connected to the overall aesthetic expression of the people in society. What emerges from a synthetic reconstruction of Václavek’s thought is his systematic attempt to explain the concept of "people" and its role in aesthetic development, both in the literary sphere and in the sphere of oral tradition - and (perhaps even more importantly for Václavek) in the space between the written and the spoken word, where literature and folklore meet and general “culture” emerges from this fusion.

Studie usiluje o rekonstrukci klíčových momentů myšlení literárního kritika a folkloristy Bedřicha Václavka (1898–1943). Václavek je obecně uznáván jako významná osoba meziválečného literárního vývoje a rovněž jako badatel, který zkoumal žánry lidové kultury, jež dříve unikaly vědecké pozornosti. Jeho myšlení však není intepretováno jako syntetický celek. Přítomná studie usiluje o vnímání jeho díla v jeho celistvosti. Pouze tal se plně vyjevuje originalita Václavkova příspěvku k estetické teorii, resp. k obecné sociální sémiotice. Podle autorova soudu se Václavek stává zajímavějším marxistou ve chvíli, když je jeho marxistická práce nepřímo doplňována jeho svéráznou teorií lidové tradice; a stává se zajímavějším folkloristou tehdy, když bereme v úvahu politicko-kritický význam jeho výzkumu folkloru. Navrhuje vnímat toto dílo jako na snahu o vnímání písemnictví a lidové tradice coby dvou stránek jediného sociálně-estetického procesu.

Masky touhy : Úvaha ajvazovská

84%
EN
The interpretational study "Masks of Desire" is based on the novel by Michal Ajvaz - Cesta na jih [Journey to the South] although its line of argument takes considerable account of the author´s entire fictional and theoretical output to date, as the connection both between individual fictional texts and between them and the theoretical texts is very close and evident here. First the study casts doubt on the classification of Michal Ajvaz´s work as postmodernist, as this only applies - as in the case of other "labels" (magic Prague literature, magical realism) that have been stuck on Ajvaz´s work - on the basis of superficial similarities. This study does not refute the association with formal principles of discourse that is designated postmodern, but it does stress that Ajvaz´s work departs intellectually from such discourse, while referring at the same time to the author´s repeated polemics with postmodernism at the level of theoretical considerations. Attention is also focused on the concept of the "total void", the intertextual and self-reflective aspect of the author´s work, the relationship to myth or the motif of desire and the specific conception of the erotic.

3_The final study defends references to the specific nature of the work of art, as found e.g. in Czech structuralism, against levelling tendencies in present-day culturology. Works of art and their interpretation may effectively contend with conventional stereotypes that impoverish man and his culture.

This study analyses the key poetological and typological aspects of Ján Kollár´s autobiography Pamäti z mladších rokov života. The first part analyses the external impulses behind the creation of the text and hence the period genre discourse structure in order to point out its specific (initiation) status. Works that may have acted as an inspiration for Kollár as he drafted his text are also the subject of analysis and comparison. The second part of the study focuses on a detailed analysis of individual epic levels of Pamäti, with a foregrounded Slavonic ethnicity creation process and its key constitutive factors and symbols. The second prominent aspect is the reflection of the aesthetic category in the text of the autobiography in association with its formal (syntactic and stylistic) and content-based components. The study centres around an analysis of the category of the characters, one of the most important elements in the autobiography (taking into account the psychological elaborateness and the episodic nature of the individual characters). This chapter is also partially focused on the self-identification of the autobiographical subject and the problem of forming relations with those around (social communication). The final part of the study comprises a compositional and genological characterization of the work.

This article seeks to clarify aspects of unreliable narration, using the example of Daniela Hodrová´s novel Podobojí (In Both Kinds, 1991). The author recapitulates the shift in his own conception of the narrator, originally presented in 'Typology of the narrator: point of view in fiction' (1967) and Narrative modes in Czech literature (1973), respectively. Rejecting the notion of personalized narrator, the author accepts Tomáš Kubíček (Vypravěč, 2007) conception of the narrator as 'textual strategy'. The advantages of this conception most clearly appear in the analysis of modern and postmodern narratives which resist the anthropomorphization of the narator. The unreliable narration appears in several forms, but its most palpable manifestation is the creation ot logically impossible fiction worlds. The fictional world of Podobojí, which is probably the first fictional world of this kind discovered in Czech fiction, is logically impossibble for it contains or implies logical contradictions. Most visible of them is the neutralization of the opposites 'living' and 'dead' in the fictional entity 'the undead'. The logically impossible fictional world can be imagined, but cannot be textually authenticated, so the authoress of Podobojí employs various masking strategies, especially the devices of the mythological world creation. The construction of the logically impossible world is reinforced by the disintegration of narrative time, the fragmentation of texture and by the fusion of the narrator´s and the character´s plans.

The present paper explores the topic of authorial dictionaries – a subject rarely discussed in Czech academic discourse. The aim of the study is to present several forms of authorial dictionaries, focusing mainly on current and up-to-date methods. At the beginning, the study explores two viewpoints (J. Mattausch and H. E. Wiegand) of the taxonomy of authorial dictionaries, of which the second is subjected to slightly stronger criticism. The article also looks at the development of this special lexicographical discipline. Finally, the paper mentions future perspectives of modern corpus devices in the sphere of authorial lexicography.

This article is devoted to intratextual, auto-intertextual, and intertextual research on rhetorical figures of literary repetition from the perspective of the 'emotional turn' in contemporary literary studies, based chiefly on the research of Gernot Böhme (b. 1937) and of Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht (b. 1948). A key concept of repetition here is textual strategy, how to evince the latent, concealed, and elusive elements of the text. The staarting point of the text consists not only in the latent phenomenon of atmosphere as a phenomenon of perception, but also, indeed in particular, in the question of the production of the atmospheres of the means of poetic language (the 'textual atmosphere' aspect), the question of the reproduction or quotation of the textual atmosphere (the 'intertextual atmospheres' aspect), and the question of 'intermedia migration' of atmospheres amongst the spheres of music and literature (the 'intermedia atmosphere' aspect). The article seeks to demontrate the operative potential of the proposed concepts first in an analytical part, which considers research on one 'atmospheric' verse from the poem 'Homesick Blues' by Langston Hughes (1902-1967) and its individual repetitions in the lyric verse of Ivan Blatný (1919-1990), Josef Kainar (1917-1971), and Miroslav Holub (1923-1998). The last part of the article focuses on problems of repetition as seen by adherents of structuralism and deconstruction, and proposes to understand repetition more broadly as oscillation not only between the poles of iterativity and iterability, but also between sense (Sinn) and presence (Präsenz).

Sándor Márai jako československý autor?

67%
EN
The Hungarian writer Sándor Márai was a prominent figure in interwar Hungarian journalism and literature, and Hungarian writers working within the minority culture in interwar Czechoslovakia referred to him as a fellow countryman. By having a translation of his novel published in Czech he successfully penetrated into the margins of Czech literature, while his extensive review work also touches upon Czech authors (Olbracht and Čapek). Márai´s early poetics were formed at the intersection of Hungarian modernism and German expressionism. These two elements had a crucial influence on his subsequent artistic orientation, in which a prominent role was played by Márai´s relations with Prague German authors (Kafka, Werfel), whom he translated. Márai´s ambition to cease belonging to any local communities then led to the creation of work showing characteristics of deterritorization. The question of where Márai´s work belonged within the literature of interwar Czechoslovakia leads on to the question of how to actually define this literature.

The aim of this article is to map out the mutual relations between literary studies and sound studies, which has rapidly developed as part of humanities worldwide over the last two decades. Sound studies are of an interdisciplinary nature, drawing on the achievements of various scientific disciplines, whereas literary studies definitely do not rank among the most influential kind. It should be noted that the relationship between the two disciplines is complicated, to say the least, if not downright aporetic. The question arises whether the perspective of sound studies is actually compatible with literary studies, or if it is not just another theoretical turn, which, apart from a few novel terms, will not actually bring anything new to literary studies that we did not already know.

The study presents a model for a dictionary based on the work of Jan Čep in the context of Czech authorial dictionaries and quantitative research on fiction texts. Designed to make a functional link between perspectives from linguistics and literary criticism perspectives, the dictionary with its conception, purposes and type is a part of the development of Czech authorial lexicography. It is the first project of its kind among frequency author-based dictionary that is aimed at providing tools for literary criticism to pre-interpret literary texts in a functional, objectivized way. The dictionary, however, is not (and cannot be) a substitute for the actual critical analysis of literary texts.

The article presents an analysis of the scholarly traits of Marjorie Garber (b. 1944) and introduces her key works. It focuses on the methodological aspects of her position in cultural studies, feminism, and new historicism, and also considers the assumptions of these humanities in their correspondences and conflicts. The cornerstones of the analysis turn out to be the possibility of an alliance between psychoanalytical and deconstructivist starting points and Garber´s conceptions of history, transhistoricity, and quotability.
