The paper tackles the topic of the negative or ambivalent humour in Karel Michal’s short story collection Everyday Spooks. Starting from the concepts of humour (present, e.g., in the theoretical works of Jean-Paul, Baudelaire, and Bachtin) based on the existence of negative features, the author examines the functioning of the degrading role of humour in the Czech writer’s debut volume. Carried out with these tools, the analysis of negative strategies in the humoristic writings of Michal, allows for a reinterpretation of his early texts and makesit possible to view them as perverse moralities.

This article examines the meaning and origins of what are nowadays common terms - "veleslavínská čeština" (Weleslawinian Czech) and "veleslavínská doba" (Weleslawinian Period) - in philological literature between the death of the Prague printer Daniel Adam of Veleslavín (1599) and the texts of Josef Jungmann in the 19th century. Moreover, the study considers the work of Daniel Adam of Veleslavín as a language authority in this period (I). Text testimonia (in Latin, German and Czech) document the development of the idea from Balbín´s work Bohemia docta and the adoption of formulations and views among N. A. Voigt, F. F. Procházka and J. Dobrovský. Weleslawina ceased to be effective as an all-round language authority after the orthography dispute between J. Nejedlý and J. Jungmann. In many of the texts under review the name "Weleslawina" was only a symbolic representation of the entire epoch (II). The conclusion puts forward several options for the philological examination of the language of texts associated (even loosely) with Daniel Adam of Veleslavín (III).

Metaphysical phenomena and religious experiences have been a subject of literature long since. In this text we point to certain types of literary treatement of the supernatural nowadays, keeping in mind that present times are sceptical towards it. The examples are taken from Czech spiritually orientated authors of the 1st half of the 20th century: J.Š. Baar, J. Èep, J. Durych. We observe how three motives – mysterious communion of the dead and alive, mystical ecstasy during a prayer and postmortal existence of the human soul – are reflected in their texts, while this reflection is based on their spiritual experience.

In the nineteenth century, as a result of number of sociocultural changes, the exile as a historically variable phenomenon experienced a significant reconceptualization, while at the same time its literary representations also went through changes. In this period, models trying to implement the exile in the narrative of national history show symptomatic differences and specific limits in comparison with earlier models or with models formed in the course of the twentieth century. The spatial contexts of the national narrative, which coincided with the physical absences of émigrés from the national area, were in themselves limiting. (Literary) concepts of exile therefore concentrated primarily on the outlook of those who remained behind. As far as the representation of an émigré himself was concerned, literature created a number of main model situations which "returned" him to his nationally spatial context. A reflection of the prominent post-White Mountain exile Jan Amos Comenius presented a specific possibility that overcame the limits of the spatially limited national narratives by reference to Comenius's writings which (unlike their author) were physically accessible in the Bohemian Lands – albeit to a limited degree. Distinctive cognitive metaphors (light in darkness, the labyrinth, depth of security, etc.) were also gathered from these writings, and around these an image of Comenius stabilised, in close conjunction with the topic of exile.

Many Czech exile authors turn to ancient inspiration after 1948. The antiquity often serves as a projection of exile situation (Odysseus) or as pars pro toto of traditional European culture, perceived by the exile writers as their defense wall. Ivan Jelínek (1909–2002) moreover originally transformed ancient inspirations at motivic level. He sings praises of ancient godesses and heroines as archetypes of Virgin Mary. Sacred womb represents the central topos of JelInekis comparison between Greek mythology, Catholicism and poetically transformed personal experience. Also, Jelínek calls his poems “odes”, referring to the ancient genre celebrating sacred subjects. He applies this principle of ancient-Catholic comparison and this genre in numerous volumes, following his travels across the Mediterranean. Gradually, his poetry becomes a sort of “travelogue” in the tradition of Grand Tour. In the final phase of his literary work, the Catholic motifs recede. The antiquity, instead, continues to be used as poetis basic cultural matrix.

The following paper is based on the concept of literature and mediality of memory (Astrid Erll) which deals with the function of literary texts in creating and maintaining collective memory. Using these methodological incentives, it focuses on the determination and characterization of ways in which Czech literary works co-create and preserve the memory of the 20th century Hlučín Region, as well as, vice versa, the ways involved in suppressing some layers of memory and oblivion. The area described is selected, inter alia, because of its discontinuous and multi-layered memory influenced by geopolitical changes in Central Europe. The study thus provides a more detailed view of how artistic literature, as a medium of collective memory, can function within the phenomena of the so-called abused memory and memory work (Paul Ricoeur).

It is the aim of this article to examine the relations between the conception of masculine bourgeois family life and Czech nationalism. This conception can be reconstructed on the basis of Czech literary production of the middle of nineteenth century. This research focuses on the period in which fundamental changes were taking place in European thinking on gender order also within family life. The article attempts to prove that this literary production was convincing the male readers that there was no possibility to combine being a family man and being a good Czech patriot.

This study focuses on the ways the biblical story of John the Baptist´s beheading took on a new signifikance during the latter half of the 19th century. The focus of interest was the figure of Salome, the daugther of Herodias, whose dance in front of the tetrarch Herod brought about John´s death. Within the context of these works of world literature we shall follow the changes in the image of Salome in Czech literature, as our attention focuses on works representing various artistic schools. By examining works by such canonical authors as Jaroslav Vrchlický, Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic, Karel Hlaváček and Julius Zeyer, as well as less well-known writers, we shall attempt to present the various approaches to the biblical story, bearing in mind the realization of individual characters, the selection of the story segment that is stressed in the work, and the characteristic perspective whose use may affect the interpretation of the story and the figure of the dancer herself. By means of Algirdas Julien Greimas´s pair of actants (i.e. subject and object) we can distinguish the role played by Salome in individual narratives. We shall attempt to specify the basic trio of forms – Salome in the role of object, subject and absent within the narrative – in order to be able to depict the primary realizations of the character of Herodias´s daughter that are possible in art. Within the context of these distinctions, Salome emerges not only as a mute intermediary for her mother or a femme fatale, but also in less frequent forms in which the extent of the mother´s influence on her dancing daughter is of substantial importance, as is Salome´s realization in the form of a fille fatale, who does not even need the notorious dance to achieve her fatefulness and her influence on the tetrarch Herod.

Předkládaná studie se zabývá aktualizacemi biblického příběhu stětí Jana Křtitele v druhé polovině 19. století. V centru zájmu stojí zejména postava Salome, dcery Herodias, která svým tancem před tetrarchou Herodem docílila Janovy smrti. Na pozadí děl světové literatury budeme sledovat proměny obrazu Salome v české literatuře, přičemž se naše pozornost zaměří na díla zastupující různé umělecké směry. Skrze zkoumání děl kanonických autorů, například Jaroslava Vrchlického, Jiřího Karáska ze Lvovic, Karla Hlaváčka či Julia Zeyera, stejně jako spisovatelů méně známých, se pokusíme přiblížit různé přístupy k biblickému příběhu s ohledem na realizaci jednotlivých postav, výběr úseku příběhu, jenž je v díle akcentovaný, či na příznačnou perspektivu, jejíž užití může ovlivnit interpretaci příběhu i postavy samotné tanečnice. Skrze dvojici aktantů (subjekt – objekt) Algirdase Juliena Greimase rozlišíme roli, již Salome v jednotlivých narativech obsazuje. Základní trojici podob – Salome v roli objektu, subjektu a absentující v narativu – se pokusíme dále specifikovat, abychom byli schopni postihnout základní možné realizace postavy dcery Herodias v umění. Na pozadí této distinkce se nám Salome představí nejen jako němý prostředek matky, či jako femme fatale, ale i v podobách méně častých, v nichž je podstatná míra vlivu matky na tančící dceru, či realizací Salome v podobě fille fatale, jež k své osudovosti a vlivu na tetrarchu Heroda nepotřebuje ani inkriminovaný tanec.

The article is devoted to the assessment of the “Russian” aspect in Czech history and culture based on the prose of Jaroslav Rudiš. Jaroslav Rudiš, one of the most prominent contemporary Czech writers, was born in Turnov (1972). Since the publishing of “The Sky under Berlin” (2002), his work has positively attracted the attention of critics and has won a wider community of readers, which is evidenced by several reprints of his books and a considerable interest in the new one. Jaroslav Rudiš distinguishes himself from the other modern Czech authors by the ability to soberly, aptly and relevantly describe the problems of contemporaries. His characters are people who personally experienced the “whiff ” of the history and felt changes in Czech society over the second half of the 20th century. Despite the fact that Rudiš does not write explicitly about Russia, does not talk about the eternal themes of Russian philosophy and culture and does not discuss positive or negative aspects of Russian influence on international politics, he shows the impact of the “Russian” aspect on the course of the newest Czech history quite accurately and ironically, although infrequently. Russia and the “Russian” in the prose of the author are mentioned in connection with the events in the lives of individual heroes who perceive the Russian aspect as given and periodically interacting with their lives depending on the circumstances. The views of his characters are ambiguous: they are not strictly negative with regard to important events, but they are not thoughtlessly positive, when the breathtaking spirit and depriving rational thinking of the wonderful creative ability of the Russian soul are praised. The tonality of Rudiš’s prose is comparable to Dovlatov’s irony of the “Reserve” or to the poetry of the Yerofeyev’s “Moscow − Petushki”. The study of Rudish’s prose was carried out by the method of excerpt from the available Czech texts of the writer. Axiological characteristics (more than 120 citations from 7 works of the author) relevant for representing the image of the “Russian” in Czech literature were analyzed from the point of view of imagological criteria.

In the former Czechoslovakia, samizdat was not limited just to the dissident community: the big “publishing houses” like Vaculík’s Petlice soon became a model for many local followers. Under communism, they naturally made effort to keep their activities secret; after 1989 vast majority of them did not find a reason to claim credit for their work and their production remained buried in their personal archives. Therefore, the lexicographic and bibliographic research in Czech samizdat faced a lengthy problem: while a representative part of the (mostly Prague) dissident publications had been smuggled out of the CSSR and collected in specialized archives in Scheinfeld (Germany) in the 1980s, it took quite a time to identify the local samizdat publishers and get access to their production.

The study deals with the thematisation of Jewishness in the inter-war prose writing of four authors from assimilated Jewish families: Richard Weiner (born 1884), František Langer (born 1888), Karel Poláček (born 1892) and Egon Hostovský (born 1908). Whereas the prose of the last-named author has received considerable attention in contemporary literary history, in the case of the remaining authors their Jewishness remains on the periphery of scholarly interest, or is mentioned in works of a synthetic character. A detailed reading of the work of all three prose writers reveals that for them Jewish culture did not represent an essential literary theme, and indeed they barely mentioned it whatsoever. An exception relates to the abundant references to anti-Semitism in Karel Poláček’s cycle of novels about the provincial town, which can be explained among other factors by the aggravated political situation in the second half of the 1930s.
