“To be a post-communist plant” on the example of "Do tmy" [Into Darkness] by Anna Bolavá

Abstracts

EN

The text tries to analyze the radical gesture of breaking with the post-communist social reality. On the example of the novel Do tmy [Into Darkness] by Anna Bolavá, the author of the article draws the socio-political landscape of the Czech Republic after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. The main character of the book, Anna, stands out as a woman, irritates and queers the well-established space, only to finally smash it by proposing – now as a plant – a new social order (not only with people as social actors). Anna Bolavá’s novel not only diagnoses the postmodern times, with their abundance of sounds and images, but also offers a strategy how to change the reality.
