There are many ways in which the term experiment may be used with reference to art and, in particular, the novel. Most commonly the term is used for innovative techniques employed in artefacts. But artistic experiment may also consist in (1) the reader using artefacts to evoke her aesthetic response and enhance thereby her introspective potential, (2) the author (and the reader) exploring in the mode of fiction how real people might behave in certain situations, (3) the reader testing upon herself a hypothesis inscribed in the novel’s design. In this paper, the theoretical considerations are illustrated with an in-depth study of Bukaczewski’s Onde estas? as well as a brief discussion of other contemporary novels.

Termin eksperyment jest używany w odniesieniu do sztuki, w tym do powieści, na wiele sposobów. Najczęściej wtedy, gdy dzieło wprowadza nowatorskie techniki. Artystyczny eksperyment może jednak polegać także na tym, że (1) czytelnik korzysta z dzieła, by wywołać u siebie estetyczne przeżycie i tak poszerzyć możliwości introspekcji, (2) autor i czytelnik przy pomocy konwencji fikcji badają, jak realni ludzie mogliby się zachować w pewnych sytuacjach, (3) czytelnik sprawdza na sobie hipotezę wpisaną w strukturę utworu. Powyższe teoretyczne rozważania są zilustrowane szczegółowym studium powieści Bukaczewskiego Onde estas? i krótszym omówieniem innych współczesnych powieści.

This study provides analysis and summaries of some of the leading theoretical conceptions of realism in literature in its relation to the ‘real world’, as formulated by American and English critics 1960 to present, including Lillian R. Furst, Harry E. Shaw, George Levine, Michael Riffaterre, Nelson Goodman, and Hayden White — introducing some of them to the Czech milieu for the first time. While several are formulated in clearly apologetic terms, representing realism as an important poetics on par with others (e.g. modernism), most of the theorists here attempt either to rid realism of its dependence on direct mimesis and highlight its creative potential, or else emphasize the realists’ ontological claim to truth in art. In its second half, the study also deals with the main problems of literary history that are linked to, or associated with, these theories, namely, with so-called ‘modern’ realism from its historical beginnings (Erich Auerbach), with the problematic relation between realism and the historical novel, and with the internal classification of 19th century realism and/or plurality of realist poetics.
