An edition of the reminiscential text of the Brno professor Dr. Jaroslav Mezník about his participation in the production of the samizdat Historical anthologies in the era of the socalled normalization, about other persons involved in these activities and the conditions in which they worked.

During the so-called normalization era between 1969 and 1989, samizdat articles and books played a significant role in the resistance. They were copied by hand, unofficially distributed at home, and smuggled out of the country. Once outside, the texts were published in magazines and broadcast on foreign radio. As a result, people in Czechoslovakia were able to hear the illegal texts from foreign broadcasts. It was mainly women who performed the tasks of copying and distributing these materials, even though such activities were illegal in Czechoslovakia at the time. Yet, the activities of women are less well known than those performed by men during the same period, despite the fact that the activities women were engaged in were more dangerous than the men's activities. The same can be said of the women in exile who helped in these illegal activities, because as yet they have gained little recognition inside or outside the country. Women's demands and issues were not included in Charter 77 and other civic declarations. Czech women emphasised human rights and the interests of the majority rather than particular women's issues. The incentive to notice the role of women in the resistance movement originated mainly among women in the West. Czech women did not differentiate themselves along gender lines.

The present paper deals with the specific poetics of literary critical writings which were published in Slovak literary samizdat in the late 1980s. They are writings which were published in selected samizdat editions of magazine Fragment K in 1987-89. The set of values of the Slovak dissident community in the area of literary criticism in the period of time in question was mainly formed by Ivan Kadlečík, Milan Šimečka a Martin M. Šimečka. The reviews, glosses, feuilletons feature strong autobiographic elements. The magazine Fragment K also paid attention to the official literary periodicals (especially Literárny týždenník) and reviewed the Soviet film production strongly influenced by Gorbachev´s Perestroika. The scope and character of the magazine, especially the volumes mentioned above, became more and more similar to the standard literary periodical. In spite of the difficult conditions its editors and publishers permanently faced (repressive activities of the State police), the magazine cultivated the space of free literary production.

This is an analysis of the special situation in communication, which faced writers who published their works in exile publishing houses and samizdat. In keeping with contemporary literary anthropology, the author starts from the assumption that a literary text becomes literature in the process of communication. In other words, the author and the reader of his or her texts are to some extent prerequisites for the emergence of literature. In the absence of the reader, the writer was forced to come up with a strategy for survival and for the preservation of his or her individuality. On the basis of the works of Ivan Binar (b. 1942), Václav Černý (1905–1987), Sylvie Richterová (b. 1945), Ludvík Vaculík (b. 1926), and Bohumil Hrabal (1914–1997), the author demonstrates various forms of the thematization of the implied author, which became not only a means of expression that was meant to enliven the narrative or inveigle the reader in behind the scenes of the writing process, but also had the role of emphasizing the existence of the author as a human being who writes. In the difficult circumstances of their lives, writers in this period thus not only preserved their own individuality but also continuously constructed it.
