Hrabal often emphasizes that his work is firmly anchored in reality. He says that it is based either on what had happened to him, or what he had heard from other people and had identified with to such an extent that he merged in with it. This emphasis on the indivisible link between literature and real life is strongest in his later autobiographical and essayistic texts in which he writes directly about himself and not through narrators or literary characters as he did previously. In these texts he also thinks more systematically about what it means to be a writer, how he himself developed as a writer and what his objectives were in writing and in life in general. Characteristically, these texts cannot be reduced to what Hrabal says to us in them, as he frequently stylizes himself in various forms and makes use of a number of other typically literary techniques. What Hrabal writes about and how and why he keeps coming back to the problem of the relationship between literature and life is a sign of his efforts to come to terms with what is weighing him down. For him literature becomes a kind of adaptive strategy to deal with his chronic inability to be in the present moment.

Th e paper aims at identifying, explaining and illustrating the aff ordances of “creative nonfi ction” as a style of writing social science. Th e fi rst part introduces creative nonfi ction as a method of writing which brings together empirical material and fi ction. In the second part, based on illustrations from my ethnographic research of European “crisis reporters,” written in the form of a novel about a fi ctional journalist, but also based on a review of existing social science research that employs a creative method of writing, I identify several main aff ordances of creative nonfi ction in socialscientifi c research. In particular, I argue that creative nonfi ction allows scientists to illustrate their fi ndings, to express them in an allegorical way, to organize data into a narrative, to let their pieces of research act in the social world, and to permeate research accounts with self-refl exive moments. I also discuss some apparent negative aff ordances: challenges that creative nonfi ction poses to readers and to the institutionalized academic discourse. Finally, I suggest that writing about sociological problems in the style of creative nonfi ction can help to produce more engaging and engaged texts, and I discuss the ethical implications of the approach.

Článek identifi kuje, vysvětluje a ilustruje afordance „kreativní nonfi kce“ jako stylu psaní o sociální vědě. V první části představuji kreativní nonfi kci jako metodu psaní, která kombinuje empirický materiál a imaginaci. Ve druhé části na základě ukázek z vlastního etnografi ckého výzkumu evropských “krizových reportérů”, psaného formou románu o fi ktivním novináři, a také na základě jiných sociálněvědných výzkumů, které používají kreativní metody psaní, identifi kuji několik hlavních afordancí kreativní nonfi kce v sociálněvědním výzkumu. Kreativní nonfi kce zejména umožňuje vědkyním a vědcům jinak a někdy lépe ilustrovat jejich zjištění, vyjádřit tato zjištění alegoricky, organizovat data a vytvářet narativ, podpořit efektivitu výzkumů v sociálním světě nebo také proložit výzkumný narativ seberefl exivními prvky. Text ale diskutuje i zjevné negativní afordance, tedy výzvy, které potenciálně plynou ze setkání kreativní nonfi kce se čtenářstvem a s institucionalizovaným akademickým diskurzem. Nakonec diskutuji některé etické implikace představeného přístupu a tvrdím, že psát o sociologických problémech ve stylu kreativní nonfi kce může pomoct vytvářet texty, které budou angažované i poutavé.

This paper outlines various forms and functions of “writing about writing” in the private correspondence of Karel Havlíček. The thematization of writing includes, among others, the reflection of the act of writing and of the mutual exchange of letters, requests for the communicative activity of the addressee, remarks on the choice of language and language devices. The paper deals with three periods of Havlíček’s correspondence. His correspondence with fellow students focused on a playful thematization of writing letters; in 1840s, the tension between private and public writing came to the fore; during the Brixen confinement Havlíček emphasized the emotional value of correspondence with family and friends.

The article deals with three short stories from Karel Milota’s collection The Night of Mirrors (Noc zrcadel; 1981, rev. ed. 2005): the eponymous text, “Carol” (“Koleda”) and “Pastoral” (“Pastorála”). These second-person narratives foreground the character of the writer (or, in the case of the “Pastoral”, the composer) and the process of creation — or rather its failure. The argument presented in this article proceeds in three steps. First, it focuses on the unnatural narration and paradoxical narrative techniques, namely mise en abyme and ontological metalepsis. Next, it analyzes the representation of architectural space and “musicalisation” of fiction as basis for building literary atmospheres. Finally, it concentrates on the (self-) presentation of the writer and indistinct quality of literary and theoretical discourse in the stories. These three mutually related aspects persistently engage the reader’s cognitive and emotional faculties, and vividly stage the identity of the author and creative process.
