The article uses a collection of stories by Vladimír Mináč titled Z nedávnych čias /Of the Recent Times/ banned in 1957 by Head Office of Print Media Supervision as an example so as to show productive effects of censorship. The author develops the ideas of the methodological movement New Censorship (Richard R. Burt) and shows different kinds of meaning that the censorship case produced. The author claims that the censorship interventions made in 1957 are associated with various forms of fetishism, which followed the recent publishing of the book by Vladimír Mináč Zakázané prózy (Banned proses, Ed. Pavel Matejovič, Bratislava : Slovenské informačné centrum 2015) and engaged the work of art that would be otherwise left forgotten in literary communication. Special attention is paid to the legitimizing and canonizing effects that were prompted by the censorship.

The present study draws supports from the findings which were provided to the author in the Slovak National Archive. The findings relate to unpublished writings by the Slovak prose writer and essayist Vladimír Mináč which were banned by the Head Office of Print Media Supervision established in 1953. This is one of the reasons why the study is composed as a commented reading – the author gives more space to retelling the contents of particular works, which is supported by quotations and selected extracts. The individual findings are set in the framework of historical archive materials and texts included in the circulation of information. The examples of the censorship of Mináč´s writings are used to identify the changes in Mináč´s poetics as well as to show various censorship strategies – from explicit bans to various euphemistic and hidden forms of „dissolved censorship“ (explicit and implicit censorship), where the censorship becomes less and less „visible“ and the writer himself gradually adopts the discourse which is identical to the defined positions of the official canon.

The author uses the critical reflections of Mináč´s short proses published in 1960 and 1963 as an example to demonstrate how the literary-critical paradigm in the first half of the 1960s was changing. A number of authors have noticed that while reflecting on the decade, it is the early 1960s that is the crucial period. The first three years defined the character of the whole decade and contain the seeds of the future cultural and social changes. Within the framework of the situation of that time two directions of literary criticism can be identified - the first tried to stay loyal to the principles of socialist realism, the other favoured the autonomy of a piece of writing. Both tendencies are epitomized by the contemporary reflections of Mináč´s short proses Tmavý kút (Dark corner) and Záznamy (Records), while the early 1960s are dominated by the former, more ideologically orthodox one.

The presented article reconstructs the literary polemic between the writer and essayist V. Mináč and the literary critic M. Hamada which took place in the liberal environment of the first half of the 1960s in Slovakia and became emblematic of that period of time. The author pays attention to its impact as well as the events and the writings preceding it. The central subject of the polemic was the category of the estrangement in the context of various interpretations of Marxist philosophy. It helps identify also the political and cultural processes forming the intellectual climate of the 1960s. On the one hand it became a part of the wide-ranging social discussion about the critical „acknowledgement“ of the Stalinism´s legacy, which continued until its violent interruption by Normalization after 1968, on the other hand, it made space for new ideological, philosophical and aesthetical initiatives. However, the polemic also raised the other issues, which have reached beyond the context of the period of time in question and are permanently present in the current discussions about finding alternatives to technological rationality and other strategies of the „Post-Modern“ power (Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, Bauman, Žižek).
