The article is a critical review of the book Conrad a Polska comprising analyses devoted to Conrad's Polish heritage by academics of various nationalities. The author emphasises the fact that a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives and research points of view from which the writer's biography and work are shown allows the refreshing of Conrad's portrayal as a man torn between various identities and worlds. In her opinion, the Polish reader can also be interested in using the Conradian prism for showing the particular characteristics of the external reception of our culture, emphasising those of its features and elements which form the image of Polishness abroad.

The author of the article analyses almost two hundred reviews of Latin American prose published in the Polish press in the early seventies when the boom was just beginning. She points out four main themes which were discussed repeatedly by the Polish critics: the effort undertaken in order to explain to the readers the unknown culture, the question of Latin American identity, political and social aspects of this prose and, finally, its exotic aspect. The article focuses on the last problem. The way the critics used the word exotic at the beginning of the boom suggested to readers the stereotyped image of Latin America. Later on the critics understood that the reality described in the works of Spanish American writers was very different from its stereotype fixed in the Polish culture, but they continued using the word exotic. Its abuse led to a false conviction that the Spanish American prose had no universal values, as it talked about exotic, that is, foreign and strange people and problems.

Praha – mozartovská konzervatoř Evropy?

EN
At the beginning of the 19th century, Prague has become the centre of strong Mozart cult. The study focuses on one of its prominent demonstrations, the creation of the Mozart’s monument in the Klementinum building. It illuminates the motivation for its erection that was clearly rooted in the opposition to the activities of the Mozart’s native city of Salzburg. Based on the study of historical sources, it refuses the often-repeated assumption that Prague was the first to honour Mozart with a memorial place. On the other hand, the study also stresses the unique nature of this Prague Mozart’s monument which lies in the fact that the monument presents the artist’s personality as mediated and publicised through his work.

The study of newspapers from the 1878-1914 period shows the origin of French ignorance of Dvorak. Very few of his works were then played in France. Their appreciation was varied. Slavonic Dances were esteemed, chamber music raised problems, symphonic works remained practically unknown. The best defenders of Dvorak were foreigners and mainly the Czechs. The French musical circles were however conscious of the composer's importance. A Dumka and his article about Schubert were published in Paris. Dvorak was proposed as foreign correspondent by the Academie des Beaux-Arts, invited to conduct his works in the capital, requested for an exhibition of autographs in 1900 and decorated with the Gold Medal of the City of Paris. In 1906, the 9th symphony conducted by Camille Chevillard strongly divided the critics. In 1913, Pablo Casals refused to play the Cello Concerto under the leadership of Gabriel Pierne, scorning the score. A nationalist and anti-German opinion, hindered by the prejudices and colonialism could explain the difficulties encountered by Dvorak in France, in spite of the constant interest of the public.

Mozart v Čechách

The study is the first attempt to map putting on stage of Mozart's operas and singspiels in Bohemia from the late 1780s till 1900 outside Prague. It focuses on theatre troupes that included Mozart's pieces in their repertory, on their directors and singers, as well as the places, where they performed. The information is drawn from such sources as archival official documents, collections of theatre posters in archive and museum collections, notes in contemporary press, contemporary theatre almanach, etc. As much as 106 performances of Mozart's scenical pieces were found, of which the most frequent were 'Don Giovanni' (35×), 'Die Zauberflöte' (32×) and 'Le nozze di Figaro' (25×). With regard to the fact that the article was written within a larger research looking closely at theatre activity in the Bohemian regions in the nineteenth century, the author is convinced that the list of locations, where professional execution of Mozart's opera could have taken place, is complete. Less guaranteed (especially in the period until the mid-nineteenth century) is the completeness of the titles performed, and their rendering - there could have been more of these.

The intercourse with the German literature and philosophy was an important factor for Zygmunt Krasiński’s intellectual biography. German literature was to him a truly aesthetic experience and inspiration, which he many times admitted. The most important German-speaking authors were Jean Paul, Novalis, Hegel, Friedrich Schlegel, and Goethe, whose Faust had a significant impact on the Nie-Boska komedia. Interesting reading and insight into the reception of the German culture is offered by Krasiński’s rich correspondence, which can be treated as a kind of commentary to the works of the Germans he read. The Polish romantic saw the key to the understanding of German poetry and speculative philosophy in pantheism, to which he himself had an ambivalent attitude.

Fine art is complicated phenomena which often holds different issues and resolves different problems. Fine art is also on the brink of “misunderstanding” and is often replaced in the perception by not so complex artistic – cultural objects. Therefore the main aim of the artwork should be to provide an environment or a possibility of intercultural, inter-media and interpersonal communication, and to offer a way how to express inner and cultural contents to different persons or cultures. There would be often a discussion about the importance of fine art, especially in present time, but also there would often be different ways how to understand each and one artwork, and which issue is crucial in the aesthetic perception of art. Present paper tries to analyse the main issue which could be understood as the origin of the misunderstanding of fine art: aesthetic interpretation. Even though, it looks like the act of interpretation is the one responsible for different meaning and countless readings of artworks, this paper would like to analyse the real impact of interpretation and its connection to the misreading of fine art, and everyday communication as well. The main aim is to demonstrate the relation between interpretation and quality of cultural phenomena, and to illustrate how an aesthetic interpretation could remove caused interpersonal and social misunderstandings.

This study is about the contribution of Franz Hauser to the rediscovery of Johann Sebastian Bach and his works in the nineteenth century. Originally from Bohemia, Hauser was an opera singer, voice teacher, and researcher. He systematically collected Bach’s compositions and created a catalogue – the first scholarly annotated list of works of an important composer. The most complete version was destroyed during World War II. However Hauser’s partial lists of Bach’s works provide important, authentic information useful for example in cases of disputed authorship. Hauser was an unusually avid collector of Bach’s compositions, using a network of contacts all over Germany, and other collectors considered him an expert and authority.

Poezie z pohledu adolescentních čtenářů

This article is concerned with research on the reception of poetry amongst adolescent readers. Unlike a number of other research projects aimed at the external aspects of reception, the intention here was to discover and describe readers’ experiences by means of an exact statistical method in combination with the expressed thoughts of the respondents, and then to use these results in the teaching of literature at primary and secondary schools. The researchers focused on the reception of poetry from around the world (including the Czech Republic), which had topics related to nature. in the selection of verse, the researchers sought to ensure that each work represented the poetry of a given historical period or artistic trend as faithfully as possible. The texts were presented to the students anonymously. The researchers sought to ensure that the respondents used only the texts to make their assessments, excluding extra-literary information. In the search for a suitable tool to research the reception of lyric verse about nature, the researchers started from the ‘semantic differential’. In a number of initial investigations they managed to isolate three factors, which they call ‘intelligibility’, ‘evaluation’, and ‘expressiveness’. These provide important information on various aspects of reception. The obtained results offer insight into the actual process of perceiving poetry and the readers’ psychology, and also help to determine the axiological preferences of young people today. The research confirms the existence of striking differences in the reception of poems of various historical periods, and also demonstrates which poems are preferred by which categories of respondents. One particularly important discovery has to do with the means of perceiving an artistic text in which the individual students’ personal associations play a substantial role. These associations work together to create the meaning of a text in a reader’s mind and, because of their diversity, enrich the resulting discussions. They can then be fruitfully employed to motivate readers to find a way into the poems.

This article shows how Adam Mickiewicz has acquired in the 'Tygodnik Ilustrowany' weekly, despite censorship exacerbations, the position of a classical author in Polish literature; also, how reception of his output became part of a trend that made references to the romanticism period, as characteristic to modernism.

The aim of this study is to analyse Petr Hruška’s poetry and its reception in Czech literature. The author also concentrates on the fact that the young literary and critics generation have a big problem with perception of poetry such as Hruška’s, because their point of view is deformed. The 30 years old literary generation cannot find the body (key theme in Hruška’s poetry); these authors only try to speak about it. On the contrary, Hruška tries to find such situations in which the body talks with the man. And that is the moment when the man can point it out.

The Slovak reception of Rilke began in 1912 but during the next three decades it was restricted to publications of single poems and short stories in papers and magazines. It was not until 1942-1949 that a more intense research of Rilke´s work began, especially in the work of the Catholic modernist (Hanus, Hlbina, Javor, Silan, Šprinc, Strmeň) and partially the surrealist Lenko. After the communist overturn in February 1948 it was stopped and only twenty years later Válek could continue. Even in the era of “normalisation” it continued with re-editions of Válek´s translations and in the end of the 1980s it experienced ascension thanks to Šabík. After the Gentle Revolution there were publications by Šabík, Gáll, Bžoch, Šimon and Richter.

The author contemplates expressional bipolarity of contemporary art of the theatre. He is interested personally in whether theatre has yet a chance to purify spectators. He explores theatre in terms of reception, and also focuses on methods of addressing the themes of the day. Using case studies of selected productions in contemporary theatre, he reflects on the intentions of a number of theatre directors whose particular intention is for the theatre to provoke or manipulate spectators.

This study tries to present the full picture of the presence and acceptance of the work of Blaze Koneski in the Slovak linguistic and literary science. Considering the fact that the complete picture of Koneski‘s character in Slovakia has not been studiously presented so far, the research has gained archival character, since we endeavoured to present the available facts, regarding the elaborated phenomenon as much as possible. As a kind of introduction to the reception of the work of Blaze Koneski‘s creative opus in the Slovak Republic, it should be noted that the Macedonian scholar did not fail to exhibit in his own papers, among other things, his very precise and argumentative views on the history and for the development of the Slovak language. It is particularly important in this domain that the view of Koneski for the Slovak language, namely, is almost always set in correlation or in comparison with the situation and the position of the Macedonian language in the historical context.

Jan Křesadlo is one of the most interesting phenomenon in the Czech literature of late 20th century, yet his literary career was quite exceptional with the author’s exile and very late literary debut. This present report inquires into the main characteristics of Křesadlo‘s art, which are found to be the epic character of his prose, his rationalism, and ironic playfulness. The last point is attended to most in detail. The second part of the report follows the causes why Křesadlo‘s work is having so ambiguous reception and it is finding hardly its place in Czech literary canon. Unusual, nay, unapproved artistic methods, almost ostentatious outsiderness and heedless breaking of taboos seem to be the most probable causes.

The slogans and pictorial elements of press advertisements contain the most important elements of the message communicated to the viewers by the advertiser. They have to be formulated and composed in such a way as to ensure the most uniform reading and interpretation among potentially diverse recipients. It is interesting to what an extend such an effect would be reported by relatively homogenous respondents. The present study investigates the interpretation and recall of advertising slogans and foregrounded information by a group of 60 young people, following a short exposure to 5 press advertisements. It also attempts to compare the results to a previous research on mental processing of hidden and inconspicuous elements in press commercials (Wojtaszek 2007).

The author analyzes in detail the way in which Roman Jakobson (1896–1982) presented Russian Formalism in his 1935 Brno lectures, and points out the important role Jakobson had in later interpretations of Formalism and the Prague School, particularly Victor Erlich’s Russian Formalism (1955).
