The goal of the paper is to use a particular piece of writing by Leopold Lahola in order to describe the principles of existential poetics seen in a wider sense, as opposed to the literary historical concept of existentialism. In the first part of the paper, what is pointed out is the key, nodal points of literary historical reflection on the works by Leopold Lahola, which were from the start linked with the poetics of French existentialism. Later, in the 1960s the opinion was reviewed through the optics of humanism, mainly functioning within the political background of the times. The research conducted in the period of the last two decades, however, shows how problematic these interpretations are. The hypothesis of the paper based on knowing the assumptions of philosophy of existence seen in a wider sense and intuitive reading of Leopold Lahola´s writings lies in interpretation of poetics present in the writings using the key of existential imagination, and the absence of this in the history of reflection on the author´s works is the reason why their aesthetic impact is not exactly understood. In order to understand the concept of existential poetics as much as possible, the analysis uses the only short piece of writing by Leopold Lahola titled Vtáči spev/Birdsong, which makes it possible to deal with literariness of the selected type on the fundamental level and to understand it likewise.

The goal of the paper is to outline a brief literary historical overview of the development of the existential discourse in the domestic context from the 1940s until now. The given overview is supposed to be one of the assumptions of theoretical reflection on the poetics of reconfiguration (existentially oriented production). The research was mainly focused on the literary and historical reflection on individual periods of time which featured discussions about existential elements in literature, while the discussions were interpreted with regard to the current state of the subject matter. It turned out that while the 1940s saw configuration of a certain form of existential discourse which became a standard functioning in a manifested way until today, from the start of configuring there were at the same time other latent contents exceeding the frameworks of the classic way of processing the subject. These did not begin to be formed explicitly until the 1960s. Due to the constraints caused by the period of time, the reconfiguration of existential discourse was not significantly affected. Apparent efforts to reassess the approach to the subject that is supposed to take care of the reconfiguration of existential discourse corresponding to the achieved level of contemporary knowledge were not made until the 2000s. At the same time it becomes clear that the process of reconfiguration is not easy because it gets into conflict with classic configuration, which has a standardized form in today´s existential discourse.
