The author of the present study deals with the contemporary state of memoir liter-ature based on the analysis of some recent Czech and Slovak memoirs. The prob-lem of contemporary memoir texts is connected with the position of the memoirist in the society, his courage and openness. In the past the author dealt with the chronicle and the novel-chronicle and with the whole layer of genres situated on the boundary of fiction and nonfiction (diary, essay, reportage, column, memoirs etc.). His typology of the memoir literature is based on the three-level structure (theme, structure and genre, narrative strategy). He prefers to call contemporary memoir literature because its structure is very heterogeneous, and the fear of the memoirist, his anxiety and aversion to express too radical views lead to soft focus, uncertainty, evasiveness, the lack of clear opinions – there are the characteristic features of contemporary memoir literature as a reflection of the state of the world and the man of the second decade of the 21 century. These features are being demonstrated at the works written by Czech and Slovak writers, significant personal-ities of culture, politicians, artists etc. The postmodernist understanding of virtuality and uncertainty, ambivalence of the truth and the lie reflect the pressure of contem-porary world as rationally inexplicable and generally incomprehensible in the sense of the knowledge of the principles of its construction and functioning which is asso-ciated with the problem of the evident and hidden power. In such a world the human being feels alone and lost.

The author of the present study deals with the contemporary state of memoir literature based on the analysis of some recent Czech and Slovak memoirs containing a spеcific strategy of the heterogeneous layers of confesisons and preachings. The problem of contemporary memoir texts is connected with the position of the memoirist in the society, his/her courage and openness. The author’s typology of the memoir literature is based on the three-level structure (theme, structure and genre, narrative strategy). He prefers to call it memoir literature аs its structure is very heterogeneous, and the fear of the memoirist, his anxiety and aversion to express too radical views lead to soft focus, uncertainty, evasiveness, the lack of clear opinions – these are the characteristic features of contemporary memoir literature as a reflection of the state of the world and the human of the second decade of the 21 century. Due to this, the confessions and preachings have been realised in a specific manner. These features are being demonstrated at the works written by Czech and Slovak writers, significant personalities of culture, politicians, artists etc. The modern and postmodern memoir literature realizes the confessions and preachings in a specific semi-hidden undercurrent which is being manifested at the example of a triple structure (memoirs, portraits, textual illustrations as attachments) of the memoirs by the Slovak literary critic, hungarologist, comparatist, and translator Rudolf Chmel.

This paper considers the influence of memoirist on realizations of hypotyposis in the Memoirs from Beyond the Grave. Chateaubriand resorts to visual representations for persuasive purposes. The narrator tries to convince the reader of the rightness of his vision by destroying or emphasizing collective, historical myths. Because of this obvious intentionality the hypotyposis reaches an implicit, aporetic function. The reduction of visual, emotional and ideological distance is narrator’s attemp to challenge the reader’s preconceived notions about such major events as: the storming of the Bastille, the women’s march on Versailles or the July Revolution. Therefore, the narrative instance uses argumentative and descriptive plasticity of hypotyposis, even if it leads him to disregard the historical truth. It’s triumph in reader’s consciousness proves that hypotyposis belongs to rhetorical figures based on reception. But the efficacy of hypotyposis requires some rhetori- cal subterfuges such as: surrounding the narrator’s role to spectator, basing historical pictures on the criterion of realism and plausibility, using rhetorical figures connected with the process of association.

Le présent article considère l’impact du mémorialiste sur les réalisations de l’hypotypose dans les Mémoires d’outre-tombe. Chateaubriand recourt aux représentations visuelles dans des buts persuasifs : l’approfondissement ou le démantèlement des mythes historiques a pour objectif de convaincre le lecteur de sa vision de l’histoire. Cette finalité visible exerce de l’influence sur une fonction aporétique implicite dont est dotée l’hypotypose. Par le fait de diminuer une distance visuelle, émotive et idéologique le narrateur a l’intention de modeler les représentations du lecteur sur des événements aussi monumentaux que la prise de la Bastille, la marche des femmes sur Versailles ou la Révolution de Juillet. Pour cela, il s’appuie sur la plasticité descriptive et argumentative de l’hypotypose au détriment de la vérité historique. Le triomphe de l’hypotypose dans l’esprit du lecteur confirme qu’elle appartient aux figures de réception. Cependant, l’influence sur le lecteur nécessite la référence aux subterfuges rhétorique tels que : la réduction du rôle du narrateur à un simple spectateur, les critères du réalisme et de la plausibilité dans l’esquisse d’un tableau historique ou l’emploi des figures rhétoriques qui exploitent le processus d’association.
